Eileen ended the call and soon spotted a group of familiar faces approaching. Among them. she recognized a few as Lionel’s subordinates.

Without hesitation, Eileen quickly closed the shutter door and remembered there was a back door she could use.

As Fileen made her way towards the back door, she dialed the private driver of the Smith family, Gordon. However, her phone automatically shut down due to a dead battery just as the call was connecting.

Eileen cautiously stepped outside through the back door. Two icy daggers were immediately pointed at her. Under the cold moonlight, she could see Lionel’s eyes and his menacing scar. She felt a chilling terror. “Ms. Eileen,” he said, “Mr. Snow is concerned about your safety being alone outside, so he specifically sent us to protect you. Please come with us.”

Eileen quickly shut the door, but Lionel wedged his foot in the gap. In no time, he kicked the door open, looking fierce and intimidating. “Ms. Eileen, if you choose to resist, don’t blame us!” he threatened, causing her to retreat in fear.

Lionel pushed the door open. “Please, Ms. Eileen.”
