Lilliana pointed at them to make herself seem more threatening, but she forgot that her hand was stained with Emily's blood.
The man with the tie frowned when he saw the blood. He did not dare to waste any more time.
"Missus Addison and Miss Lilin might be injured! Men, go in and look for them right away!"
"Yes, sir!"
The men in black suits busted in through the door and started searching through every nook and cranny of all four floors.
Lilliana and Sherlyn were rattled.
Lilliana got up and went to stop them. "What are you doing? I didn't say you can come in! Don't touch my stuff. Get out, or I'm going to call the cops!" However, she could not stop any of them, and none of them took her threats seriously either.
"Ma'am, you can call the cops if you want. We'll talk to them once they're here. In the meantime, please get out of our way," said the man with the tie. "You guys are no better than goons!" spar Lilliana through gritted teeth.
She would have called the cops if she could; she just did not want the cops to find out she had injured Emily.
The lead man in black turned around to call Adam. He gave him a brief report of what was happening.
Sherlyn finally got up from the floor. She was both fearful and upset at what was happening. "Mom, let's call the cops! Look at all the mess they're leaving around!"
"No, Sherlyn. We can't call the cops because they'll arrest us too," whispered Lilliana frustratedly.
"But why? We didn't do anything other than lock them up for a bit. We can just deny it. They don't have any proof we did that!" replied Sherlyn with confusion.
Lilliana frowned and said anxiously, "One of the women tried to run out of the room when you came downstairs. I panicked and cut her with the knife... She's bleeding profusely as we speak."
"What?! You really cut her?! What should we do, then? They must be from some powerful family..." whimpered the pale-faced Sherlyn.
Lilliana was worried about that too. She did not expect two women in average- looking clothes would be someone they could not afford to cross.
Judging by how fast they were going through the house, it would only take them another few more minutes before they found the two women and the little girl locked in the attic.
