Chapter 853


    "Isn''t it strange that the lights are off? Are you sure you heard something?" her husband questioned,


    peering through a slit in the door. "I don''t see anyone in the yard either, and it''s pitch ck."


    "Do you think we should call the police? Something feels off. I''m feeling uneasy."


    "Are you sure you heard something?"


    "Yes, while you were snoring away, I heard a loud crash, like ss shattering. It came from Professor


    Earwood''s ce."


    "Let''s go upstairs and have a look."


    They could see right into the center of Professor Earwood''s yard from their rooftop terrace.


    "Look at all those fallen leaves. Professor Earwood is a neat freak.


    If he were home, he would''ve cleaned that up immediately."


    "But I''m certain I heard something earlier."


    “It could''ve been a sound from another house or maybe a stray cat jumped onto a window and

    identally broke something." The husband yawned, "Let''s go back to sleep. We have to get up early


    to make some oatmeal. I doubt the Earwoods will be back anytime soon."


    "How mysterious.” The wife muttered, switching off the lights.


    When there was no more movement next door, Arabe took out her phone and messaged her team,


    [Get a few guys over to Stardust Lane 111. I need a hand moving some people.]


    [Moving people??] Her team was taken aback.


    [ASAP]


    After sending the message, Arabe noticed several missed calls and unread messages from Romeo


    and rk.


    She hadn''t been able to respond during the fight.


    She sent them both a quick message: [Coming home.]


    She then effortlessly removed the mini camera she had installed earlier, restoring the living room to its


    original state before leaving with her team.


    At Reflections Vi, rk finally saw a message from Arabe. It was only two words: [Coming home.]


    He tried calling her several times, but she didnt pick up. He was growing worried. What was she doing


    that she couldn''t answer her phone?


    He messaged Romeo, [Has Be contacted you?]


    [She replied, said she was on her way home. Didn''t answer my calls.]


    [I wonder what she''s up to.] rk was concerned. He had a bad feeling about the evening.


    "rk, I''m done changing!" Serena came downstairs cheerfully.


    "Why haven''t you changed yet?"


    "I''m going up now." rk rechecked his phone, but there was still no call from Arabe. It was already


    8 p.m.. Where could she be?


    Seeing that he was preupied and constantly checking his phone, Serena couldn''t help but ask,


    "rk, is something wrong?"


    "No.'' rk shook off his thoughts, “I''m going upstairs to change.


    Wait for me."


    "Okay!"


    Serena watched him go upstairs, a look of delight on her face as she exchanged a knowing smile with


    Martha.


    Martha returned the gesture, giving her a thumbs up. They hadn''t expected things to go so smoothly.


    With Arabe out of the house, Martha had encouraged Serena to invite rk out shopping under the


    pretense of buying Christmas gifts for the family. This would not only show her generosity and tact but


    also help them bond as siblings. Plus, she could use rk''s credit card to buy herself some things.


    After all, rk''s money always seemed to end up with Arabe.


    Martha coached her that if rk made excuses, she should yfully remind him of the time he took


    Arabe to the movies and shopping.


    Sure enough, rk was initially uninterested in going, but Serena pouted and said, "But rk, you


    went with Best time.”
