"Miss Brooks, I'm just a nobody. She's not free to answer the call, thus I am answering on her behalf."
Abby did not tell Yvonne who she was.
"Get Lucille to talk to me. Tell her not to push me too far. Otherwise, the worst that could happen is that we'll just die together. If I'm in hot soup, she won't get what she wants as well!"
Yvonne had wanted to use a gentle method to solve the problem. However, she did not expect that the miserable story that she planned meticulously would be shared with someone irrelevant.
It was such a waste of her effort.
Since she failed to negotiate with Lucille using the soft approach, she had no other choice but to play the hardball.
Abby wasn't afraid at all. On the contrary, she asked, "Then can you tell me how you are going to do that, Miss Brooks? So that I can learn as well."
"Where is Lucille?"
Judging from Abby's voice, Yvonne could tell that she was not a police officer. Thus, she didn't want to argue with her.
"I am not going to tell you." Abby said mischievously.
"You are not telling me? Listen, I'll find you even if you don't tell me!" Yvonne hissed angrily.
"Are you trying to track the location of the phone? I've already shifted the location."
Without waiting for Yvonne to say further, Abby was a step ahead of Yvonne.
"What?" Yvonne didn't expect the person who on the call to have the ability to do so. She paused for a moment before saying, "I do have other methods."
"Then you can do it, Miss Brooks."
Abby hung up in an instant.
Lucille listened from behind and was very worried, "Abby, did you really shift the location?"
"What do you think?"
Abby put on a quick-witted look on her face.
Lucille knew that Abby had not only developed a software and did some coding, but she was involved in online security as well. Seeing Abby's expression, she naturally believed that she had done that.
Noticing Lucille's relaxed expression, Abby grinned, "I lied to her. It was urgent at that time, hence I didn't have time to do it. Furthermore, I didn't install that software on my computer."
"Huh? Then...then let's go quickly!"
Lucille didn't expect Abby to be lying to Yvonne!
"Why do we have to leave? She might be lying too." Abby was confused.
"No." Lucille had different thoughts, "In order to make things worse for me, Yvonne is willing to sleep with the manager of the bar. She will do anything."
"My dear Lucille, your IQ somewhat improves after your brain has been frozen!"
Abby was in no hurry.
However, Lucille was anxious. She quickly took her cell phone, "I'm going to make a police report. I'll go now!"
"I'll go with you." Abby also got herself changed.
"Don't do that." Lucille waved her hand, put on her clothes and strode out. As she was walking, she said, "I can't get you into trouble. It's my own business. I'll call the police first. We should not come here anymore until the police arrests Yvonne."
In fact, Lucille felt regret that she went to find Abby.
She was afraid that Yvonne would really fight to the death as she said.
After all, a person would do anything when the person was cornered.
"Then where should I go?" Abby asked.
"Anywhere but not home. Don't you ever stay at home!"
As Lucille spoke, she took her cell phone to call for a cab to the police station.
When Abby put on her clothes and tried to chase after Lucille, she found that Lucille had left.
Abby was worried about Lucille.
Abby pondered for a while. Then she sent all the videos that she had saved and edited, as well as the voice recording of Yvonne to someone...
Lucille headed to the police station alone by a cab.
