With that, only Nate and Kevin were left at the entrance of the basement.

Kevin did not like the dark and damp environment in the basement.

He frowned and asked Nate, “Who was that who came out from there just now? Was that Yulissa?”

“That’s impossible! She’s dead. How many times do I have to say it?” Nate felt incredulous at what Kevin said.

Kevin obviously did not believe him. “I’m your brother, Nate. You can tell me even if you do anything wrong. I’ve always got your back.”

Nate was utterly speechless. “Kevin, why don’t you believe me?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you, Nate. I’m just worried that you’ve been tricked by that woman. I don’t want to see you being used by her over and over again. She wants Xavier to be dead, but he’s our cousin. It’s not worthwhile to ruin the relationship between our two families because of a woman,” said Kevin earnestly.

However, Nate did not hear anything other than that one sentence.

“What did you just say, Kevin? She’s been tricking me? You think she’s still alive too, don’t you?”

Upon realizing that, he immediately ran after the woman.

Fortunately, Kevin’s reaction was fast enough. He quickly grabbed him and stopped him from running.

“You brat! Where are you going? Do you think you haven’t caused enough trouble yet? If you run away again, how are we going to face the Fairchild family?”

Nate was not as strong as Kevin. He struggled but to no avail. “Kevin, let me go! I just want to go look for Yulissa!” His eyes lit up with hope. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe she’s been tricking me. Maybe the person who ran out earlier was her!”

“So what if that was really her? Wake up, Nate. This woman is not worth you sacrificing so much for her.” Kevin grabbed his collar fiercely and gritted his teeth.

“No! I want to find her! I must see her! I have a lot to tell her!” Thinking that Yulissa was probably still alive, and she probably had even appeared in front of him just now, Nate went mad.

Kevin was so upset and disappointed with his brother.

Just when he was about to lecture him again, Xavier and Winnie suddenly came back.

Not only that, but they even brought back the young woman who had run away just now.

The young woman’s mask and hat had been taken off.

Her face could be clearly seen now, and she was not Yulissa.

Looking at this unfamiliar face, Nate was both disappointed and angry. “Who are you? Why did you come out from there? How did you get in?”

The young woman’s eyes were red and teary. Upon hearing Nate’s questions, she started begging, “I’m sorry! Please don’t call the police. I’m not a thief. I’m just homeless and thought of staying here for a few days.”

Nate looked at the strange woman in front of him suspiciously. “How did you get in?”

There was a flicker in the young woman’s eyes. “This kind of lock is very easy to open, but I’m not a thief. I swear I didn’t touch anything in this room. I only went in for less than five minutes before you guys arrived. I didn’t want to do this, but I have no choice. My younger siblings and I don’t have a place to live. I found this place by accident. Since it is unoccupied, I thought I could bring my siblings here to stay temporarily. I didn’t spend much time there, and I didn’t take anything inside. I’m really not a thief. Please don’t call the police. My siblings need me. I beg you all!”

As soon as she finished her words, she knelt down in front of them and wept.

Winnie and Xavier had been observing every single movement and every subtle expression of this young woman and Nate.

When the woman stopped crying, the two exchanged gazes.

“Do you really not know this woman?” Xavier asked Nate with a gloomy expression.

Nate had always disliked Xavier because of Yulissa.

He sneered, “Why do you think I know her? I even suspect that you brought this woman here.”
