Rita and Ian quickly ran to the door, checked the face of the man outside through the access control system.
"Mom! That bad guy is here!" Rita panicked with a bit of excitement, running fast towards Violette.
Violette picked up her daughter.
"Don't be scared, baby. You and your brother go back to your room first." Violette gave Ian a look.
Ian reluctantly came over and stayed in the room with his sister.
Violette came out of the room, walked through the living room, and opened the front door.
Elijah stood outside the door.
The setting sun shone from behind him, making his features even deeper.
"Makayla is gone. The nanny who took care of her said she was lost in your neighborhood." Elijah explained his purpose. "I've searched the other owners' houses, but I couldn't find her."
"So, you want to search my house?" Violette looked at him indifferently.
Elijah calmly said, facing her cold eyes, "I'm here to find Makayla, not to search."
"What if Makayla is not in my house? What are you going to do?" Violette opened the door wide and waited for his answer.
"What do you want me to do?" He stepped up, getting closer to her.
Such a strong sense of oppression!
She suddenly took a step back, speaking faster, "If Makayla is not in my house, you must promise that you will never set foot in my house again!"
Elijah frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking.
After a while, he opened his mouth, but not to answer her question.
