“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 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.

“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,
