A Crazy Night Novel

The leading police officer remained silent and simply advised Emilia to stay cautious before they departed.

Emilia gave them a warm send-off before returning to her condominium. Her eyes scanned the disarrayed mess with a mix of disgust and contempt.

Tomorrow morning, I shall throw everything in this house that has been touched by Anya. I don’t want her bad luck to affect me. She has no right to accuse me of being heartless. She was foolish to stir up trouble and not know how to eliminate the threats lurking around her.

Right then, Emilia’s phone rang. It was an unknown number, so she hesitated for a few seconds before answering it.

“Who is this?” she asked sweetly. She had been longing for sponsors to reach out to her and was determined to make a memorable first impression on them.

“This is Yerek Gibson,” the voice on the other end revealed in a dark tone. “Why didn’t you inform me about Anya’s visit to your house and instead chose to get the police involved?”

Emilia dared not offend him and immediately put up an act. “Anya is crazy. I don’t know who told us that we are collaborating, so she showed up here, threatening to kill me. I couldn’t find a chance to inform you that she was here. If someone else were to discover her at my house, I wouldn’t be able to defend myself, Harboring a criminal is a serious offense, and I didn’t want her to implicate me in her actions.”

Taking a deep breath, she continued, “The best course of action is to involve the police. Anya lacks sufficient evidence to prove our involvement in her criminal activities. If she is sentenced to jail, there will be no one to challenge you for the inheritance. Anya’s mother is too naive to pose a threat in that regard.” Yerek still thought that Emilia had acted recklessly. “The police are not easily fooled. Anya has committed numerous crimes, and they will thoroughly investigate her claims. Moreover, Anya’s downfall can largely be attributed to Christina and Nathaniel’s actions. Do you honestly believe that Christina is unaware of your involvement?”

Emilia’s heart sank as she jolted up abruptly, accidentally knocking over a nearby vase. “Mr. Gibson, if Christina confronts me, you must come to my aid. My plan has started to yield results, and I’m sure you don’t want Christina to continue her streak of success, do you?”

Yerek hated it when people threatened him. In a furious tone, he snarled, “Emilia, perhaps you should be more concerned about what Anya might reveal to the police. By the time Christina reaches you, you could already be sitting behind bars.”

With that, he abruptly ended the call, leaving Emilia in a state of panic.
