Half a minute later, Beatrice Assex ran out to have a look. Only then did she realize that something was amiss.

She immediately ran downstairs with her feet bare. “Mom? Mom… Is this really happening? Mom, wake up. Don’t scare me!”

Right then, Alex had just finished eating. Throughout the entire meal, Brittany Rockefeller hadn’t come downstairs. This put Alex in a very poor mood.

When he heard Beatrice’s plea, he started to frown. “What happened to her now?”

“I… I don’t know either. I just pushed her a little, and she passed out,” Beatrice said.

“Where’s your sister?” Alex asked.

After hanging up the phone, Alex gave Dorothy Assex a call. He discovered that her phone had been turned off again.
