Chapter 509


    Hannah immediately pressed me for an answer, "Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"


    I pondered for a moment, then shook my head, "Only as ast resort. We can''t use it unless absolutely


    necessary."


    Hannah eyed me skeptically, trying to guess what I was thinking.


    Our gazes locked for a second before I broke the silence, "Let''s go with your n for now. Since we''ve


    already set the trap for her, we might as well wait."


    Hannah was getting impatient, "But Fidelia''s got to go back soon. School''s starting up again."


    I reassured her with confidence, "If they''ve got mischief in mind, they won''t be able to let go that easily.


    Maybe going back now is the pressure they need. Keep a close eye on Fidelia for the next couple of


    days. Maybe they''ll try to make her do something else. We just need to be ready. You set someone to


    keep a close watch on the surveince, and I think we need to keep an eye on the backyard, too. I''m


    not about to give them the stage for their drama."


    At that, Hannah’s eyes lit up, and she shed a mischievous grin, "Aaliyah, you''ve got it all wrong. If


    they want to y games, why not let them do it right under our watchful eyes?"


    I looked at her sharply, and after a moment, I couldn''t help but smile, "Spot on."


    "I''ll get someone on it. Find the right time to spruce up the backyard.” Hannah said with a devious


    smile.


    "Let''s do it tomorrow. I''lle up with a reason," I said, as we struck a perfect chord, "After that, all we


    can do is wait."


    "You''re right. So, let’s wait."


    After dinner, on a whim, I took Monique, Probert, Fidelia, and Hannah to the backyard.


    Hannah nced at the bamboo leaf that had been wedged in the door, but it was gone.


    This meant that those folks had been back herest night or today.


    Hannah and I exchanged knowing looks. It seemed these people were nning to squat here.


    Without showing my concern, I checked upstairs and downstairs again. Monique, acting every bit the


    have lived here? How did they get in?"


    I nodded in mock approval, "You''re spot on, sweetheart. It does look like we''ve had visitors."


    "We should call the cops. This is breaking." Monique dered indignantly, her spirit undeniably fiery.


    "The trespassers are long gone. What good would calling the cops do now? Better we start taking


    some preventative measures," Probert chimed in with his own opinion.


    "What kind of measures?" I asked, ying along.


    "Install some surveince cameras. Then we''ll see everything they''re up to. Once we catch them on


    camera, they''ll be easy to nab. Then we''ll find out why they came to our ce."


    I turned to Fidelia, "What do you think, Fidelia? Speak your mind."


    She avoided my gaze, hesitant to speak up.


    Before she could respond, Monique jumped in with her quick tongue, "I''m very suspicious. How did


    they even know this ce was empty?"


    "Could it be the tourists?" Hannah suggested, teasing the idea.


    "I doubt it. Tourists wouldn''t dare to trespass like this. Besides, the door''s always been locked, and

    normal folks can''t just wander in. Good people don''t sneak around breaking into ces. It has to be the


    work of someone up to no good." Probert said with an air of certainty.


    Honestly, Probert was sharp, not the simpleton Hazel made him out to be.


    "You got it right," I affirmed.


    As I spoke, I kept a watchful eye on Fidelia. She seemed uneasy, quickly ncing around the room.


    I knew then that these people were definitely connected to the mystery person behind the cat''s eye.


    But to our disappointment, all was quiet. New chаpter av?ble on Drаmanоvels.cом


    This meant Fidelia was feeling guilty.


    I found the cat''s eye person in the contacts and checked the profile, but there was nothing to see. I


    sighed and turned off the phone.
