Albert’s impatient voice echoed from the room. “You can’t even pick up a cereal bowl, you damned girl! Get in now!”

“The case is heavy, dad!” Desiree complained.

Desiree struggled to hold onto the case, but it relentlessly pressed on her arms.

Meanwhile, Lena chuckled. Her petite figure remained hidden behind the case, and she wore a cap obscuring half of her face.

Clad in the hotel’s uniform, Desiree wouldn’t have recognized her, especially in her panicked state.

Lena firmly pressed down on the case.

Overwhelmed by the weight of both the case and the person, Desiree couldn’t bear the load. “Come here, dad! I—”

Before Desiree could finish her sentence, Lena heard Albert’s hurried footsteps approaching. She realized that her opportunity had come.

She exerted force and pushed the case forcefully, catching Desiree off guard. Desiree stumbled and was pushed right into Albert, who was approaching.

“Ahh!”

Albert leaped back, reacting quickly to the unexpected collision.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lena used the case as a platform to launch herself into the room. She and Albert pointed their guns at each other in just a few strides.

However, he was too slow. Lena shielded Janine, showing no fear on her young face.

Albert dared not make any sudden moves. At that tense moment, he noticed a mocking smirk on Lena’s face.
