Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 425

To be safe, the firefighters conducted a thorough search of the entire apartment. They checked every closet, cabinet, and under every bed. They even dismantled the washing machine to look inside. Finally, they confirmed that there were no other snakes besides the three they had captured.

After they left, Janina immediately called the police. If this was deliberate, it was no longer just a scare. It was attempted murder. With children and an elderly couple in the house, the perpetrator’s intent was clear: they wanted someone dead.

When the police arrived, Janina told them her suspicions directly. The snakes had come from the gift bags, which made the gift-givers the primary suspects. After taking her statement, the police promised a swift investigation.

By the time the police and firefighters were gone, it was nearly eleven o'clock at night. Even with the all-clear, no one felt safe sleeping in the house. The fear of a 'stray' snake still lingered. In the end, the entire family packed a bag and checked into a hotel for the night.

The next day, Ethan and Grace went out to buy snake repellent and hired a professional pest control service to inspect the house one more time from top to bottom.

Only after it was declared completely safe did they dare to return home, but a sense of unease still hung in the air.

Janina, however, went straight to the Aurelius Group building to confront Julius.

Unlike her last visit, she faced no resistance. The receptionist didn't ask if she had an appointment or try to stop her. After a quick call to Julius’s assistant, she was respectfully invited to go up.

A few minutes later, she reached the executive office and shoved the door open without knocking.

Julius was at his desk, head bowed as he signed a document, while his assistant, Wayne Wallace, stood respectfully nearby.
