Makayla nodded without hesitation.
It was not like she hadn't been to his house before. She actually kinda liked his place, and she wanted to go again.
Elijah looked at his sister's stubbornness and felt overwhelmed.
Ian hadn't brought his laptop to school today, so it must've been confiscated by Violette.
It was pretty much certain that the unbridled hacker was the guy standing right in front of him, wearing a hat. Even though he was Violette's adopted son, Elijah was planning to teach him a lesson. But right now, Makayla's attitude towards him made Elijah feel torn.
Suddenly, there was a loud 'bang' from the side, followed by harsh cursing!
They looked towards the source of the noise, where two people were already fighting.
Makayla looked at the violent scene in front of her, her face instantly pale, and her eyes filled with fear!
"Ah! Ahhh!" She screamed hysterically, covering her ears with both hands.
Seeing her out of control, Elijah's heart clenched. She must've been reminded of the beatings she experienced as a child!
He picked her up and quickly left.
Ian watched them leave, Makayla's scream echoing in his mind.
What happened to her? Was she frightened? It wasn't her who was in the fight, so what was she afraid of?
"Ian, it's too chaotic here! Hurry up and come back to school with me!" The teacher grabbed Ian's arm and led him away.
......
At noon.
Violette went to the police station.
Five years ago, Alexa's brother, Peter Rodriguez, had stolen nearly 2 billion from the Dennis Group and fled abroad.
Despite the solid evidence, the domestic police could do nothing about it.
The country Peter had fled to had no extradition agreement with Country A, so the police in Country A couldn't go abroad to arrest him.
Moreover, Peter had assumed a new identity after fleeing abroad.
Over the years, Violette had been searching for his whereabouts.
