Chapter 1098

"Yvonne?!" Preston was completely stunned!

Despite his deep-seated resentment towards her, seeing Yvonne lying lifeless on the ground made him shiver uncontrollably.

"Wh-who's in my house? Who fired the gun?" he stammered, his voice trembling with fear as he glanced at Whitney, whispering, "There's... someone else in the house!"

Whitney was equally shocked. Snapping back to her senses, she quickly retreated, hiding behind a pillar. She looked at Yvonne... she was gone!

"What happened?" Keegan asked, worry etched on his face.
