Chapter 1781


    Chapter 1781 At the time, Arnold assured her earnestly, promising he would take good care of Pearl.


    The antique ne might not have been worth a fortune, but it was worth a few million dors for


    sure. Even if it was considered as a payment for the lodging, Arnold shouldn’t have made Pearly stay in


    such a suffocating room. This was outrageous! Marlinie was fuming. She was ready to confront Arnold


    as soon as he returned. Meanwhile, Lea suddenly tugged at Bertha’s hand. “Mom, I need to go to the


    bathroom.” Bertha looked around the small room, and seeing no restroom, she prepared to take her


    daughter out to find one. However, they discovered that the door had been locked from the outside.


    They were trapped. What was going on? Bertha turned to Marlinie, feeling uneasy. “Marlinie, we’re


    locked in!” Coming to her senses, Marlinie set aside what she was holding, went to the door, and


    twisted the knob hard to confirm it was locked. Her expression darkened. “Mom, Ms. Marlinie, what’s


    happening? Why would someone lock us in?” Marlinie was also at a loss, and she exchanged a nce


    with Bertha. It seems she doesn’t want us to meet her father.” Bertha agreed with this theory and


    nodded. “Regardless, we should call for help.” Marlinie/took out her phone to seek outside help, only to


    find that her cell service was blocked. This was bad! She, who had locked Marlinie, Bertha, and Lea


    in the attic, was ying with the key as she gleefully descended the stairs to wait for the pot roast


    delivery.Their vi had four stories, and her father’s office and bedroom were both on the second floor.


    He usually didn’t venture up to the fourth floor. Even if the two women yelled and banged on the door,


    they would not be heard from downstairs. She wasn’t afraid of them calling the police, either. She had


    turned on the signal jammer upstairs, a device she had originally bought to deal with Ellinor. Now, all


    she had to do was wait for the pot roast, prepare some excuse to send her dad out when he returned,


    and then team up with her mother to deal with the two women upstairs. Books Chapters Are Daily

    After sitting downstairs for a while, She sent a message to her mother, urging her to hurry back. The


    doorbell rang and the pot roast had arrived. She took the pot roast inside and went to the kitchen to


    put the pot roast into her own pot, making it look like she was the one who cooked. Just as she finished


    this, the sound of the front door being unlocked came from the hallway. ? She quickly threw the


    delivery bags into the trash, put the lid on, and stepped out of the kitchen. Arnold wasing in with


    his fishing gear. Seeing hiszy daughter, who spent her days pampering herself at home, was always


    a trigger for him. “Why are you wearing so much makeup at home? Are you trying to scare me to


    death?” She, who had originally greeted him with a smile, felt wronged and pouted. “Dad, why do you


    always find fault with me when youe home? I’ve been working hard to make you a pot roast!”


    Arnold still looked unimpressed. “Is the pot roast ready? Serve me some quickly; I didn’t have lunch,


    and I’m starving!” He said as he cast a disdainful look at her. It was a perfect opportunity for She to


    show off, so she put on a smile. “It’s ready! Dad, sit down and wait a moment. I’ll serve it right away.


    You can taste my great cooking skills.”
