The building was an ancient one with no elevator. They walked up to the second floor when Jay stopped and said to the Sect Mistress, "My beautiful lady, this is where Darryl lives, go on and knock on the door."
Monica walked toward the door.
Right at that moment, Jay smiled and snatched the clutch when Monica was not paying attention. Then he turned around and started to run.
"You-" Monica shouted. She did not expect him to snatch her clutch. Was he not Darryl's friend? How disgraceful!
Monica had lived at Elysian Island as the Sect Mistress for quite some time. She had never been conned before that.
When she regained her senses, Jay was nowhere to be seen.
Monica bit her lips; she was furious, but she did not chase after him. Even though the clutch was valuable, she did not need the money as she had found Darryl.
Then she knocked twice on the door.
The Cult Mistress was so excited as she waited for Darryl to open the door.
Soon, the door opened. A middle-aged lady stood there as she looked at her. "Who are you looking for?"
"I am—" Monica was nervous. "I am looking for Darryl Darby.”
Who is this lady? Is she a cleaner?' Monica thought.
The middle-aged lady replied impatiently," Darryl? There is no Darryl here. You have gotten the wrong address."
Then she slammed the door shut.
What?
Wrong address?
Monica stood there; she did not know what to do. She was nervous and angry.
When she finally gathered her thoughts, she realized that the man was only a thief.
