“In that case, we’ll be taking our leave now.”

“I’m perfectly safe here” Elizabeth said as she walked them to the door.

“Don’t worry about me. The workers aren’t done moving things, anyway. The whole place is just a mess. Once I

finished cleaning up, I’ll definitely invite you two back for a small home warming party.”

“Well, if you run into any problems, don’t hesitate to call me. We haven’t found Jorge yet, so we should be careful at

all times.”

“Do you realize you’ve become as much of a nag as my aunt?” Elizabeth t**sed, though she did feel warm from

Natalie’s words.

They exchanged goodbyes, and Natalie and Brandon made to leave.

They walked past the workers, who were still busy shuffling things around.

Jorge was lifting a cabinet when he accidentally met Brandon’s eyes again.

Fear immediately gripped him. He hurriedly raised the cabinet higher to hide his face.

Noticing that Brandon was peering at one of the workers, Natalie followed the direction of his gaze and asked,

“What are you looking at?”

All she could see was a towering cabinet.

Brandon shook his head and looked away.

“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

But the small exchange bothered Natalie, and the more she thought about it, the more baffled she became. She

couldn’t help but crane her neck to take a few more glances at the man behind the cabinet. Upon closer inspection,

she realized that this man looked a little different from the rest of the workers.

Firstly, his clothes looked clean and new, unlike the others’, which were worn out and stained here and there.

Secondly, she caught a glimpse of the man’s hands.

They were smooth and well-manicured, with nary a scar or a scratch. He didn’t look at all like a man who made a

living from menial labor.

Natalie and Brandon continued making their way out.

Even so, neither could shake off the feeling that something was not right.

When Natalie couldn’t take it anymore, she raised her head to look at Brandon, only to find that he was already

looking at her.It seemed like he wanted to say something, too.She knew there and then that something bad was

about to happen.

A chill raced down her spine.

Natalie looked back to the third floor and blurted out, “That man just now! He is…”

Was that man really Jorge? Natalie’s eyes widened in alarm.

As for Brandon, he had already guessed as much.

An ominous feeling had been nagging at him since he entered Elizabeth’s place. It wasn’t until Natalie had spoken it

out loud that he felt more certain about his suspicions.

“I believe so,” he said in a somber voice.th.

Damn it! The man must have come here to exact his vendetta against Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was in danger! The moment she realized this, Natalie gripped the banister and made to race back

upstairs. She needed to prevent another sordid tragedy from happening.

Brandon acted quickly, his arm reaching out to stop Natalie in her tracks and pull her back, “Take her away,” he

instructed the female bodyguard.

“No, Brandon!” Natalie cried out.

“Elizabeth is in danger. I have to save her. Let me go, or it might be too late!”

“Just stay away. I’ll take care of it.”

Brandon took off his coat and unb**toned his cuffs. He tossed the coat over to Natalie and addressed the

bodyguard.

“It will be dangerous upstairs. Take her to the car and wait for me there.”

Natalie clutched his coat in her hands, her heart getting heavier by the second. Her good friend was in danger, yet

she could do nothing but to stand back and watch her husband risk his own safety to save Elizabeth.

With a sullen exp**ssion, Natalie tried to rush forward and run upstairs again.

And just like before, Brandon held her back at the very next second.

“Listen to what I say,” he said, his eyes turning cold.

“And wait for me in the car.”

Natalie opened her mouth to protest, caught herself at the last minute.

Sensing her frustration, Brandon softened his tone.

“Just do as I say, okay? I can’t save anyone if I keep worrying about you.I need to know that you are safe first, do

you understand?”
