Harold returned to the house, took out his key, and opened the door.
All the lights in the house had been turned off. He found that Audrey's slippers were not in the shoe
cabinet.
From that, he knew that Audrey had fallen asleep.
He began to complain in his heart, 'Audrey has gone too far. The guest had left, but she did not send
me a text message and asked me to come back.'
Although he was complaining, it was too late and time for resting.
Audrey must be tired. Just settle accounts with her tomorrow.
The moonlight was bright tonight. Harold could see things clearly. So he went to the kitchen without
turning on the lights.
He opened the fridge and saw a large piece of cake. Harold happily took it out and filled his hungry
stomach.
After that, he went straight back to his room.
Staying in the Internet cafe for nearly a whole night, Harold couldn't stand the smell of smoke and
sweat on his body.
When entered his room, Harold began to search for his clothes in the cabinet.
Unexpectedly, his clothes had disappeared.
He suddenly recalled that he had packed them up and put them in another place.
He did not notice that a person on the bed was slowly getting up, picked up a badminton racket from a
nearby table, and moved behind him.
When Harold was about to leave the room, Kylee hit him on his back heavily with the badminton racket.
The sudden attack made Harold scream in fear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKylee continued to hit him with the badminton racket and cursed loudly, "I'll beat you to death, you
thief!"
Audrey and Bryson rushed to Kylee's room when they heard the noise.
They turned on the light and saw Kylee chasing Harold. They were both startled.
Harold didn't know what was going on and quickly hid behind Audrey and Bryson.
Kylee pointed at Harold and said, "Elliana, Bryson, be quick. Catch the thief."
Audrey, "..."
Bryson, "..."
Harold, who was recognized as a thief, "..."
He was just taking his clothes in his room and preparing to take a bath, why did he become a thief?
Audrey reacted. She turned around and kicked Harold's calf. She raised her arm and pretended to hit
him, "You thief, how you dare to come to my house!"
Harold was confused.
Audrey turned around and winked at Harold, telling him to run away quickly. Only then did Harold react
and run out the door.
Audrey followed Harold closely.
Harold didn't know what had happened. When he ran to the elevator, Audrey pulled him away, "You
can't take the elevator."
Harold was lost for words.
He had no choice but to follow Audrey's orders and run downstairs. Audrey continued to chase after
him.
When Harold reached the first floor from the 18th floor, he was exhausted and panting.
"Don't have to run out," Audrey promptly stopped Harold from running outside.
Harold sat down on the stairs.
"I'm exhausted. I finally don't have to run anymore."
Audrey sat down beside Harold and calmed her breathing.
"What happened?" Even now, Harold was still confused.
Audrey glanced at him, "As you just saw, Grandma didn't go back."
"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?" He touched his back where Kylee had hit him with a
badminton racket. It hurt so much.
Under the moonlight, Audrey checked Harold's back. Kylee hit him so heavily and a red mark was on it.
"Does it hurt?"
Harold grimaced in pain, "Of course."
"I'll transfer five hundred to you later. Go to the hospital across from our community and then book a
room in the hotel next to the hospital for a night."
"Only five hundred? I have to take an X-ray to check my bones. The cost in hospitals is always high."
"Then I'll transfer you a thousand. Send me all the hospital bills later."
"Alright, I know."
"Why aren't you leaving?"
"I'll go now." Harold did not dare to stay there any longer and walked out of the community without
stopping.
...
After Harold left, Audrey took out her phone and transferred a thousand to Harold.
When she returned, Bryson was waiting for her at the entrance of the elevator.
"How is Quentin?" Bryson asked Audrey in a low voice.
Audrey answered, "He suffered some superficial injuries. Grandma is too ruthless. Quentin's back was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdark purple."
"Did he go to the hospital?"
"Yes. I have asked him to go to the hospital opposite the community. How is Grandma?"
"She was a little frightened."
They exchanged a glance and returned to the room.
Audrey pretended to be panting and said, "The thief ran too fast and I couldn't catch up."
Kylee held Audrey's hand nervously, "Elliana, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Kylee looked at Audrey worriedly.
She said with a lingering fear, "Elliana, the community you live in isn't safe enough. Even a thief can
come into the house without a sound. If ... If I didn't find him, you might have lost something."
Audrey blurted out, "He is not here to steal things."
"What do you mean?"
Audrey wanted to bite back her words.
She hurriedly explained, "Grandma, I said that it's so late. I'm so sleepy that I can't open my eyes. Let's
talk about it when we wake up tomorrow. I've used the anti-theft lock. The thief won't come in again. I'll
go to sleep first."
"Elliana, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Kylee would like to say something more.
But Audrey closed the door and left quickly.
...
The next morning, Harold was woken up by a couple arguing in the hotel. He couldn't bear to leave the
hotel to have breakfast.
He happened to meet Kylee, Audrey, and Bryson who had just come out of the community.
Audrey kept explaining to Kylee, "Grandma, there were no thieves at home last night. You remembered
it wrong."
