CHAPTER 140

Elizabeth and her family returned to the villa, only to see the income tax officers searching the whole place, not leaving a single object untouched. Even her newly bought painting was being carefully examined. When Elizabeth and her family entered the villa, their mobiles and their purses were taken away. They were made to sit on a couch just like Selena, Shawn, Veronica, and Rebecca, but the children were allowed to go outside.

The adults, however, were only allowed to talk when the officers asked them questions. The officers treated the Sterling family members coldly, but some of them secretly flirted with the maids. Some even went as far asking them to lift their skirts. Selena secretly signaled Kathy to

Selena was feeling quite tense, not because of the raid going on, but from thinking how Jacob would react when he would learn of all the things that had happened.

Thanks to Kathy’s efforts, some of the officers grew lenient and let the Sterling family members go to the dorms as the searching was finished there.

Only Selena, Shawn, and Louis stayed back to answer the officers’ questions.

In the dorms, everyone’s mood was still dull.
