Roxanne and Lucian followed the address to Building No. 16.
It was a three-story, stand-alone mansion. Despite being in the suburbs, it was still valued at no less than ten million.
The yard was surrounded by an iron fence, and there were still lights on at the second floor. It was apparent that Winnie was still awake.
With a grim expression, Roxanne rang the doorbell.
Not long after, a gruff voice complained, “Who is it? It's the middle of the night!”
Roxanne narrowed her eyes. She was very familiar with the man's voice. I'm sure that it belongs to Yosef.
Yosef walked to the iron gate while reeking of alcohol and peered out from inside. He froze when he spotted Roxanne, and then he caught a glimpse of the hostile-looking Lucian.
The streetlights allowed the couple to see the gloomy and uncertain expression on his face.
“Roxanne? It's so late. What do you want?” Yosef's voice instantly lost its previous gruffness, and he appeared to be more or less sober up.
“Open the gate. I want to see Winnie!”
Roxanne did not wish to waste time talking to him. Her whole face seemed to be shrouded by a thick layer of frost.
“Sorry. My mom isn't here now. Come back another day!” There was slight panic in Yosef's eyes, but he still turned his face away and replied awkwardly.
Following that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Just then, Lucian's steely voice rang out. “If you don't open the gates, I don't mind tearing down your mansion tonight!”
Yosef was so frightened that he stopped in his tracks, but he dared not turn around and face Lucian's frosty gaze.
In truth, the mansion's iron fence was not all that high.
Seeing that Yosef was still frozen on the spot, Lucian had had enough of talking. He turned his head and shot a look at the bodyguards, and they immediately took action.
Darting forward like loosed arrows, they effortlessly went over the iron fence within three seconds. In the next instant, Yosef was pinned to the ground by two of the bodyguards.
“Roxanne, Lucian, what are you trying to do? This is trespassing. It's against the law. I want to call the police!”
