Chapter 184
I called Lyla back immediately.
When the call was connected, I heard Lyla’s tearful and trembling voice on the phone. “Eve, why aren’t you at home? Where are you? Why is there so much noise over there? Don’t do anything stupid Eve, please come home. Don’t scare me like this. I tried to make myself sound calm. I explained, “I was hungry, so I went out to get something. I didn’t hear your calls because I put my phone on silent. I’ll be back
After hanging up the phone, I hailed acab
When I arrived at my apartment building, I saw Lyla, Antoine, and Liam waiting for me.
As soon as Lyla saw me, she rushed over to me and said, “Eve, you scared me!”
I gently patted her back and comforted her, “I’m not a child. I just went out for a meal. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Lyla simply kept crying. She didn’t seem to hear what I said. After a long while, she said tearfully, “The police called me this morning and said they would handle this as a burglary, so 1 thought you-
Then, I remembered that I was too depressed when we reported the case, so we gave them Lyla’s number.
I raised my head. I no longer felt depressed. I looked around and noticed that the surveillance camera had a red light.
How could it be such a coincidence that the surveillance cameras broke that day? Why didn’t the burglar steal anything when he broke into my home? Why did the police close the case so hastily?

I brushed away her messy hair and put my hands on her shoulders. “It’s okay, Lyla I’ll handle things from now on However, Eyla shook her head. She pursued her lips and was about to cry again. “No, we’re all here. We won’t le let you do this alone.”
me, okay? I looked at Lyla, wanting her to feel my determination. Since she was my best friend, she knew ine best.
“Olory. No matter what problems you ran into, you have to come to me,” Lyla said. She finally compromised after a long while. She even gave me a big hug.
I nodded resolutely 1 leaned against her shoulder and hugged her back
Antoine quickly left with tyla, v who had been worlding herself ragged for several days.
Liam silently followed me upstairs. Even though he didn’t say it, we both knew that he had returned for me.
1 laid down on the sofa and rubbed the bridge of my nose in exhaustion
Liam handed me a glass of water, and his expression also showed signs of fatigue,
“Liam, thank you, thanked him sincerely for taking care of ine for so many days.
He smiled at me. “You don’t have to thank me. Just like Lyla, I’m always by your side.” Then, he went straight to the point and asked, “What are you going to do
I took a spot water and remained silent for a few moments. Then, I turned my gaze to the window and replied, “I’ll find evidence, catch the true culprit, them to justice.” and!
