Chapter 613:
As she ran her fingers over the sleek surface, nothing about it seemed out of place. However, when she forcibly pushed the door open, a flash of blue light swept overhead, blinding her for a split second.
Then, the sound of a piercing alarm shattered the silence, echoing through the entire VIP area.
“Warning! Warning! Intruder detected! All units, assemble immediately!”
Red lights flickered to life and flashed as every security member snapped to attention. The alarm blared in her ears, relentless and shrill.
“Wha… what intruder…?” Melany found herself backing away instinctively, but the lights and noise didn’t stop — they continued to pulse with an unforgiving rhythm. The crowd, once eager to take their turn, fell silent.
What had been excitement now twisted into a thick silence, each person weighed down by the sudden, uncomfortable tension.
Then, with calm determination, Allison stepped forward, her movements deliberate as she approached the scanner. The blue light flashed again, and just like that, the alarm fell silent.
A collective sigh escaped the crowd as the oppressive noise faded at last.
Sighing in relief, they looked at Allison with even greater astonishment.
“Wow,” someone commented. “That’s a privilege only the person in charge gets!”
“Look, Allison’s ID has been activated!”
“I’ve never seen this villa open like this before, not once in all my years.”
The whispers grew, but Melany could barely hear them as she stood there, deeply dumbfounded.
“How could this be possible…” Melany’s pulse quickened.
The moment Allison stood before the sleek villa and used an iris scan to open the door, any lingering doubts evaporated. With a soft click, the villa’s door swung open, and a welcoming voice greeted them. “Welcome home, Ms. Clarke!”
The AI’s words echoed through the stunned silence, leaving everyone rooted in place, their gazes locked on Allison.
“No way! Ms. Clarke really owns Sunset Hill? So young and already worth hundreds of millions — it’s hard to believe!”
“Ten years ago, some people already owned a hill, while I was still building sandcastles. Guess it’s true some people are born with a silver spoon.”
“I don’t even know what to say — the gap between us is just staggering!”
“And Ms. Clarke, she’s so gracious! After we doubted her for so long, she’s still willing to let us in and share her knowledge. They say the wealthy are generous — guess it’s true!”
The compliments flowed, mingling with astonishment and admiration.noveldrama
Among them, Lindy stared, her shock slowly giving way to a smoldering anger as she watched Allison pass the iris scan with ease.
