“Are you here to do the installation?”

Instinctively, Christina attempted to shut the door, but the other party managed to stop her in time with

Christina took two steps back and stared at the two strange men who just strode in.

The first man took out a military knife and threatened, “Shut up. We are here for money. Do as we say, and you won’t get hurt.”

Christina steadied her breathing and retreated further in order to calm herself down.

The man eyed Christina before ordering her, “Give me everything that is of value.”

Christina handed him her phone.

“That’s it?” The man widened his eyes in disbelief. He seemed dissatisfied with the phone.

“No. If you don’t want to get hurt, hand over the necklace right now.” The man waved his knife and appeared very determined to have the necklace,

Seeing that Christina had no intention of handing them the necklace, the man signaled to his partner. The other man went forward and tore open her collar when he saw a hint of the necklace.. Christina was so shocked that she took a few steps back and bellowed, “Get lost!”
