Chapter 2128

    Arabe nodded. She couldn''t lean back in her chair because of the wound on her back; she had to lean slightly to the side


    instead, which finally allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.


    At that moment, thick ck smoke billowed from Reflections Vi.


    Numerous servants and bodyguards were battling the ze. Thankfully, since Edith had taken over as housekeeper and


    convinced Louisa to purchase a batch of firefighting equipment, reasoning that a mansion of this size needed ample fire


    protection, they were well-prepared.


    Little did they expect that their foresight would prove so timely.


    Someone tried calling Keh and Louisa but got no answer, so they called Arabe instead.


    “Ms. Be, the house is on fire. It’s the basement.”


    Fortunately, the basement and the main building were separate, and thanks to the sufficient firefighting equipment, the fire were


    quickly extinguished, leaving only thick smoke behind.


    Upon returning home, Arabe found that the family doctor had also arrived.


    She was called in by Louisa.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Louisa thought that her precious daughter was injured and that tending to the wounds herself was too taxing. She thought it


    would be better to have professional help.


    “My injuries are minor; please check on the others first,” Arabe instructed the doctor, wanting her to examine her grandparents


    and parents.


    However, the entire family unanimously insisted that Dr. Anne treat her first.


    Arabe couldn’t win against them, and she had to let her tend to her wounds obediently.


    Keh and Louisa had sustained minor scrapes, nothing serious, but Romeo’s back was quite severe.


    After Dr. Anne had bandaged Arabe’s wounds, she went to tend to Romeo.


    Dr. Anne treated Keh and Louisa, then proceeded to check on Bernard and Cornelia.


    The deputy head of the security team approached them, reporting the night’s events.


    “Tonight, a group of intruders forced their way into Reflections Vi. Our guards engaged them, and not long after, the basement


    caught fire. We rushed to put out the mes, and during the chaos, the intruders vanished. They might have escaped.” The


    bodyguard’s tone carried a hint of self-reproach; they felt useless for not capturing even one of them.


    If Ms. Be had been there, she definitely wouldn''t have let those people get away!!


    “It''s okay,” Arabe said calmly, “my people were lying in wait outside. They''ve probably already caught them by now.”


    She had previously instructed Tom to keep a team concealed around Reflections Vi, all for this day.


    Tonight, with Bernard, Cornelia, Keh, and Louisa kidnapped, and her five brothers not home and the house empty, it was the


    perfect opportunity to strike.


    She took out her phone to call Tom, sure enough, Tom reported they had just apprehended the suspects after a lengthy chase.


    “Boss, I''ll bring them to Reflections Vi right away,” Tom said with a note of pride in his voice.


    “Good job,” Arabe praised.


    Ending the call, she tapped her phone, “I installed micro-cameras in the basement.”


    She projected the footage from the


    cameras onto the TV SG reyne
