Missha's cold gaze gradually softened, as if she was looking at another person through her.
"Miss Jenkins, how should we deal with her?"
"Lock her up. Don't let her out without my order." As soon as Missha gave the order, the man took Everleigh away.
This time, she was not locked up in the room but in the basement.
Alastair and Adrienne were woken up in a daze and brought down to the basement as well.
Everleigh held the two children in her arms and stared at Missha quietly.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. As long as I get my jewelry, you will understand what's going on," Missha said this and left.
Adrienne frowned and looked at the door. This was not a basement. It was clearly a jail cell.
"Mommy, what's going on with Grand-Aunt? Why did she lock us up?" Adrienne looked at Everleigh, confused.
Everleigh did not answer her because she did not know how to. She was now very sure that Missha was the one who killed her parents.
However, she did not ask Missha. It was not because she did not want to say it, but she did not dare to do so. She was afraid that this would provoke Missha and her aunt would hurt the children in return.
"Adrienne, are you afraid?"
Adrienne shook her head. "Mommy, as long as I am with you, I'm not afraid."
Everleigh did not know what to do. All she could do was hug her children tighter.
It was as if they were encouraging her.
Missha looked at the surrounding environment and a complicated emotion appeared on her face.
"Miss Jenkins, what are we going to do now?"
"Let's drive back. Bring them some food in the evening." Missha did not intend to hurt them. The only problem was that she had not gotten her hands on what she wanted from the beginning.
"Sure."
Missha and the others left the holiday villa. When Saniogo and Alexander arrived, they were nowhere to be found.
"Have they left?" Theodore asked in a deep voice.
"I'll go to the intersection to have a look at the surveillance footage," Alexander said quickly. He was worried that something bad had happened.
Theodore looked around, but there was no sign of a fight. Adrienne's favorite ice cream was still on the table, but it had already melted.
He was anxious. Something must have happened. Adrienne loved her ice cream. Thus, it was impossible for her to leave it like that.
"Let's go out and see what's going on."
"Okay," Theodore pretended to be cool-headed as he spoke. Then, Saniogo called Missha.
"Where are you?"
"We are back. I've sent Everleigh back home. I'm almost home now," Missha replied.
Upon hearing her words, San logo's expression froze for a moment. "When did you come back?"
"It has been hours. Adrienne had too much ice cream and her stomach was aching so Everleigh decided to come back," Missha explained.
Saniogo glanced at Theodore and did not say a word.
At this moment, Theodore called Leon to check whether Everleigh was home.
"No, I've been home all day. I didn't see her. What happened?" Leon sat on the sofa and asked seriously.
Theodore's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Saniogo and shook his head, indicating that
Everleigh had not returned yet.
Saniogo hung up the phone directly.
