460 How Dare You! 459 How Dare You!
"I'll give you an hour to send me surveillance videos from the time she left this store until she disappeared," Wayne ordered Noel.
"Sure, Mr. Wright." Noel was nervously sweating. After he sent Wayne to the office, Noel worked nonstop to get the video.
He sent the surveillance video to Wayne and ran back to his office an hour later.
"I've emailed the video to you, Mr. Wright. What should | do next?"
Wayne was still infuriated after checking all of the surveillance videos. He quickly shut down his laptop.
About ten minutes later, Noel parked his car in the East End near the new villa area. Then a dozen strong men dressed in black suits walked to them; they were the bodyguards Wayne hired.
"Who is it?” A maid opened the door after hearing the doorbell. She was wary after seeing the people in front of her, so she only opened the doorac***k.
"Hello, we've come to see..."
Wayne's face was expressionless, as if he was a gang member, too. He reached out and grabbed the edge of the door through the c***k, pulling it outward. Because the maid was caught off guard, the door opened wide.
"W'm here to see Shirley Gabriel." Wayne said coldly and angrily. He had entered the house before he could finish. 459 How Dare You! "Ma'am! "As she stumbled and ran upstairs, the maid shouted. Awoman ina gray dress came down the stairs a short time later. She was about fifty years old and appeared to be in good shape. She was slim, with delicate makeup and curly brown hair that cascaded over her shoulders.
"Who is it? You know you're trespassing, right? I'll call the police!" Shirley shouted.
Shirley was standing at the stairs on the second floor, enraged after seeing those people downstairs. She had just dialed 911 when she noticed the man standing in front of the crowd.
"Wayne Wright?" Shirley's eyes widened in surprise, and she set her phone down.
Shirley quickly relaxed. "I've always remembered the deal | made with you back then," she said slowly as she walked down the stairs, "but how come you seem to have forgotten it yourself?”
Wayne continued to stare at her indifferently. He forced himself not to become enraged and asked hoarsely, "Where is Tammy?"
Shirley came to a halt and then laughed. Her laughter echoed throughout the living room, sounding harsh like a ghost.
"Do you mean Tammy is missing? Why do you come here after losing your child? Do you think I'd sacrifice her life for Allie's? She doesn't even deserve it!"
Shirley shivered slightly as she leaned against the armrest. She had felt the loneliness of losing her family for the past five years. She could still remember clearly the moment Allie fell off the building. She couldn't forget it all, no matter how hard she tried.
Later, she thought about making Anna lose something in exchange. But she had to give up every time she remembered what Wayne had said 459 How Dare You! = to her at the top of the building on the day they signed the contract.
Hearing that, the group of men dashed to all four corners of the house. Shirley looked up in disbelief, seeing that her luxurious home quickly became a shambles. A porcelain vase shattered on the ground, and shards flew all over.
"Wayne, you're breaking the law!" she cried in pain.
"Then call the police," Wayne said indifferently. He left after confirming that Tammy was not there.
Wayne came to a halt as he was about to leave the house. He was silhouetted by the sun, making him look like a ghost. His dull voice, however, was still powerful. He said, "Tammy had better be safe. Or, you'll be doomed.”
Shirley's heart was slowly broken by the sound of people leaving. After they had all left,she quickly took out her cell phone.
"Did you find her? I've told you, we can't mess with this girl! Are you sure she wasn't there when you went back? You didn’t smuggle her away?"
Shirley breathed a sigh of relief as she hung up the phone. She clenched her teeth as she remembered what had happened the night before.
On their way back to the Wayne office, Noel examined Wayne's expression in the rearview mirror. He got goosebumps all over when he remembered what had just happened.
Frowning, Wayne cast a solemn look out the window. "Gabe, remember | asked you to look into Frank's death five years ago?" he said, pulling his phone from his pocket.
