Chapter 1792
The shrill sound of an ambulance siren echoed from outside.
Bertha quickly called out to her daughter. “Alright, Lea, we need to get Ms. Marlinie to the hospital first. We’ll handle
everything else later.”
Lea nodded in agreement. “Keep a sharp eye on those two. I’ll deal with them later.” She instructed before she left.
The men in black nodded in agreement. “Yes.”.
After that, Bertha and her daughter followed the ambulance to the hospital.
The ambulance caused quite a commotion, and Arnold, who was visiting his neighbor, heard the noise and rushed
back home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon entering his home, he was met with a group of menacing men in black. His wife and daughter looked bruised
and battered as they knelt on the ground.
Arnold was terrified. “Who who are you people? What are you doing in my house? And what have you done to my
wife and daughter?”
The leader of the men in black had already left with Bertha and her daughter to go to the hospital, and the
remaining men, all well-trained, remained silent as they watched over Tracy and her daughter.
Seeing Arnold, Tracy cried out for help. “Arnold, save us! These men are bandits. They are nothing but bandits!”
Sheila, too, cried out in fear to her father. “Daddy, save us; I’m so scared!”
Arnold naturally wanted to save his wife and daughter, but after looking at the intimidating men in black, he knew
he was no match for them. He thought of leaving to get help.
However, as he turned to leave, he realized the front door was already shut by two of the men, making it clear that
he was not going anywhere.
Arnold panicked and became slightly angry. “What…what do you want?”
One of the men in black replied, “Your wife and daughter have hurt our lady’s friend. No one from your family is
allowed to leave until our lady gives the word.”
Arnold was startled. “What are you talking about? Who is your lady? I haven’t seen any guests in my house.”
The man in black replied, “You should ask your wife and daughter.”
Arnold was stuck with no way out, so he turned back to Tracy and Sheila. “What is going on here? Why are they
saying you hurt their lady’s friend? What on earth did you two do?” Tracy and Sheila were guiltily avoiding eye
contact with Arnold.

Elsewhere, Marlinie was quickly rushed to the nearest hospital. Her wounds were stitched up, and she was put on
an IV drip.
The doctor assured Bertha and Lea that Marlinie was not in any life-threatening danger, and they finally breathed a
sigh of relief.
Bertha sat by the hospital bed, clutching Marlinie’s hand. “Marlinie, you scared me to death! You lost so much
blood.”
Marlinie was awake; she was just a bit weak. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Thank goodness your husband had people
watching over you and Lea. They were able to rescue us just in time… and thank god it wasn’t you or Lea who got
hurt, or Thaddeus would be out for my blood.”
Bertha wiped away her tears. “You’re still making jokes at a time like this?”
Lea watched her idol, Ms. Marlinie, still be able to jest with her mother, and she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Ms. Marlinie should be alright. Thank goodness!
Suddenly, the hospital room door was roughly pushed open, and a figure, emanating an icy aura, stormed in.
