Chapter 12: Chapter 11: You Are Mine

"Pikachu~ Pika Pika~"

Just thinking about it, suddenly the phone rang, scaring Elliana Lyle into a jolt. She hurriedly picked up her phone and instinctively pressed the volume button.

She saw it was an unknown number, international even, and hesitated, but still answered it.

"Hello?" Elliana spoke first, unsure who might be calling.

"Hello, is this Miss Kitty? I saw you were looking for a private investigator online. When shall we meet? Or you can just send me the details."

The woman’s voice on the phone was clear and crisp, yet carried a tone of arrogance.

Elliana was momentarily at a loss for words; this person seemed very confident, so she asked, "Why should I trust your abilities?"

"Then give it a try, but." The voice paused, then continued, "Send the money first."

This statement made Elliana laugh; she suddenly felt this was a bit of a joke, seemed like a scam.

"Don’t think I’m a scammer, Miss Kitty. I’m very busy, you have three days to consider."

After saying it so casually, Elliana heard a beep-beep as the call was hung up.

Simply speechless.

...

The next day.

Elliana woke up early and started texting Mr. Lyle. She hadn’t slept well all night, now waking up to such a distressing matter.

Dad: "How can you not attend your grandmother’s birthday, being a senior family member?"

Hmm... Elliana wanted to say something else, but indeed had no reason to refuse.

Tomorrow was her grandmother’s seventieth birthday; she must return to the old Lyle family house, though her grandmother was difficult.

Not only reclusive, but also favored boys over girls, most favored was the oldest uncle’s family because the uncle had a son, yet Joy Lyle was the only one overlooked by the old lady in uncle’s family.
