Kyleigh was always domineering but was scared by what Scarlett had said. Standing in the doorway, Kyleigh gripped the bag of gifts, not daring to knock on the door again.
Kyleigh knew that Scarlett was different from Kenny. Scarlett had no feelings for Kyleigh. Otherwise, Rocco would have been imprisoned.
Scarlett said that she would keep Rocco in prison forever. It was not a joke.
However, Kyleigh didn't know who else could help them.
She was over 70 years old. The villagers didn't dare to offend her, so she had been overbearing in the village for decades. She didn't want to move away. Although poor, she felt pleased living there.
Yet they were not in the village. Kyleigh knew that she couldn't get her way by making a scene.
Gormend stopped their cars and robbed them of almost 10,000 dollars. Besides, one of the victims was a veteran. The incident caused an uproar. The police officer told Kyleigh that even if she lay outside the police station every day, Gormend wouldn't be released and that if Kyleigh went to Scarlett and the others, asked for their forgiveness, and compensated them, Gormend would probably get a lighter sentence.
Kyleigh knew that Scarlett wouldn't forgive Gormend before coming here. They had fallen out. After being refused by Scarlett, Kyleigh was at a loss for what to do next.
She stood at the door for a while and turned to leave.
Kyleigh didn't want to go, but she was terrified by Scarlett's words.
Scarlett and the others finished packing at about 10 am. They set off after a rest.
When they came out of the house, there was no one else around. Scarlett thought Kyleigh had left.
They went downstairs with the suitcases. As soon as they walked out of the hall, Scarlett saw that Kyleigh was sitting beside the flower bed and eating an egg.
Noticing Scarlett, Kyleigh raised her eyebrows. She suddenly thought of something, turned sideways with a guilty look, and curled up. Kyleigh seemed afraid of being seen by them.
