It was a rainy night.
Elissa was on top of Kieran. She was shouting angrily and clawing him aggressively.
Kieran put his arms up in defence, but his face was still filled with scratches and there was blood. He screamed from time to time in anguish.
Tommy was lying on the wet ground. He hugged his legs and screamed in pain while looking super pale.
The two sullen security guards were shocked at the scene. They looked at them with a blank stare.
Were... they lunatics?
They glanced at each other and were going to leave.
The location was rather far away from the villa's main entrance. These lunatics shouldn't be able to bother the people in the villa.
As long as they didn't get close to the entrance, the securities didn't want to meddle.
As soon as they turned around and was going to leave.
"Stand there!"
The hysterical Elissa stood up and grabbed both security guards like a madman, "Watchdogs, where are you going? Let us in, we are Jack Hughes's in-laws. And him, he is Jack's brother-in-law!" Elissa said as she pointed at Tommy who was on the ground.
The security guards were dumbfounded.
Kieran couldn't care less about the pain on his face. He quickly stood up and grabbed Elissa, "Please, I beg you. Stop making a scene..."
His voice was filled with sorrow, he was practically begging her.
But Elissa turned around, her eyes visibly bloodshot even in the rain. She glared at Kieran harshly as if she wanted to eat him alive.
"Shut the fuck up! We have no other way!"
Kieran was shocked.
His heart was filled with tremendous pain.
True, they had no other way!
Tens of millions were gone in an instant and Elissa owed the loan shark millions.
The normal family was only rich for a while and they were back to square one. No, they were in a worse situation than before.
Katherine cut ties with them. They wouldn't be able to find a cash cow to pay their debt. They would probably need to kill themselves.
Kieran thought about a lot of stuff, he felt as if he was in a trance.
Suddenly, tears rolled off his eyes.
At this moment.
The security guard said, "Sorry, there's no one name Hughes here."
As he finished his sentence, a lightning bolt struck against the dark sky.
Elissa, Kieran and Tommy were shocked, as if they were struck by the thunder and lightning.
They were dumbfounded.
Tommy, who was on the ground, stopped yelling.
"No one named Hughes? How could it be?"
Elissa couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes were wide opened as she mumbled to herself, "You guys are lying, you guys are lying to us. The bastard Jack Hughes lives at the TM Villa District. We visited him here once, how could he be gone?"
Elissa was hysterical.
The security guards seemed annoyed at her.
But remembering how she acted just now, they tried to be careful with her as she might be actually crazy.
They suppressed their annoyance and anger.
They said again, "Sorry, there's no one name Hughes here. We were trained to remember every name of the people who live here. A name like that really doesn't exist. Maybe... they moved away?" "They moved?"
Elissa's face blanched, she stumbled backwards.
At this moment, she felt like the sky was going to fall on her.
She gambled away her fortune and was in debt. She had never felt like this before.
She never felt so in despair, not even when she cut ties with Katherine or hurt Tommy.
But now, she was in despair.
She knew Jack's personality well. She knew that he was a pushover.
Otherwise, why would he not take his revenge after their scheme succeeded?
As long as they could meet Jack and threw violent tantrums in front of him, Jack, the pushover would be their golden goose and would pay their debt off. He might even give them more money than they asked for.
That was why Elissa was so insisted on coming here even though Kieran was suspicious about it and was against this idea.
In her mind, Jack was very rich. The debt she owed would mean nothing to him. And with how a pushover he was, they would be able to squeeze some money off him.
But the security guard's word landed them a blow, shattering her dream.
Jack the useless pushover wasn't here to their rescue and the debt collector would be on their tail soon...
A terrifying thought popped up in Elissa's mind. She trembled in fear.
Suddenly, her face twisted in rage. She gritted her teeth and glared at the two security guards, she was going hysterical.
Kieran reacted in time and quickly hugged her from behind.
"Stop it! Didn't you forget that you humiliated him here? That's probably the reason why he moved away, what else do you want from him?"
Elissa trembled. She thought about that day when she was thrown off the slope from the TM Villa District's entrance.
She couldn't help but look at the security guards in fear.
She was not who she used to be. If the guards dared to throw her off the slope back then, they would be even more daring right now.
Elissa finally left unwillingly after Kieran's repeated nagging and badgering. Tommy also quieted down.
The three of them left.
The security guards let out a sigh of relieve.
"Fuck, crazy bastards choosing somewhere like here to pull some batshit crazy shit. Go somewhere else, why come here?"
"Sigh, we were unlucky. But there's all kind of people in the world. Luckily the man managed to stop the crazy woman. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do. There's nothing like this in our handbook." They were complaining to each other. Suddenly, an older security guard walked over in the rain.
"What happened?"
"Boss, there were three lunatics here just now. They kept saying that they were the in-laws of some guys named Hughes who lived here and they wanted to be let in. Aren't they a joke? There's nobody named Hughes here."
The other guard waved his hand and said, "They're gone now, boss. They were probably just real batshit crazy."
Though.
They didn't notice that the older security guard's face turning sullen every minute and his pupils constricted. Shortly after that.
The older guard said slowly, "You guys are new here and hence you guys are not familiar with the situation here. There is indeed someone called Hughes living in the TM District Villa. He owned those glorious looking mansions half-way up the mountain. He was a well-respected man and him living here was being kept hidden."
The two security guards were shocked.
The last batch of security guards were all fired after the incident last time when some hired forces came in and caused a scene at the TM Villa District.
Aiden managed to sweep things under the rag and hired a new bunch of security guards. He intentionally kept Jack's name from being known by the new guards.
And these two were newly hired. Of course, they didn't know about this.
"Boss, is that true?"
One of the guard's face turned pale, he glanced at the road winding down the hill, "Then, were they really Mr. Hughes in-laws?"
Both security guards' face blanched.
Their hearts were beating out of their chest.
If that was true, they might get fired.
The salary here was the best in the area, they were getting paid for more than ten thousand per month. It was every security guards' dream to work here.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
"Hah!"
The older guard scoffed, he had a look of disdain on his face,
He was a "veteran" here. He wasn't fired after the incident last time. He knew about what happened with Jack very well.
The two new guards were staring at him in fear.
He said slowly, "Just remember if they come again, tell them that the TM Villa District's owner is now Miss Knight!"
