Seeing her weaseling out of this, Maisie thought it was because of her father, “Is it because of your father for you to say that?”

Emily pursed her lips and handed the apple to Maisie, “Now in the C City, everyone knows that I am a murderer. I just want to find out what really happened to my father. I won’t think about other things for now.”

“Emily, no matter how others think of you, I always believe you. It’s me who brought you up.” Maisie was about to speak, but finally said nothing. In the end, she was still determined to say it out, “But I hope you won’t get in touch with the child of the Clark family. Even in the heyday of your father, their family would think we are not a fine match for them, let alone now.”

Maisie had gone through it all, so she knew more. She was worried that after Emily was married into the Clark family, she would be alone and been wronged.

It was already evening when she arrived at her apartment from the Morris mansion, and it was dark outside.

Just as she took off her high heels and walked into the room, she heard someone was knocking at the door.

First, that person was knocking at the door, but later, he directly smashed the door hard.

She was alone in the apartment. When you were alone at home, it was natural any loud sound would make you tremble with fear.

She walked back to the door and instinctively reached out her hand to twist the handle. Fortunately, she felt that something was wrong. Most people would not smash the door, so the person smashing the door must be a stranger, and the purpose of him coming here was very clear.

Not long ago, she read the news about the murder case of a single woman in her apartment. It was said that someone knocked at her door for no reason and said that he came to repair the pipe. Then that man came in, raped the woman, and then killed her. After dismembering her body, that man put them in a suitcase and dragged them to the river. It took four to five days for the police to get the woman’s body out of the river.

At the thought of this, Emily got goosebumps all over her body. She took a deep breath to calm down. She saw through the peephole. The harsh sound of smashing the door came again, which scared her back a few steps.

This time the person not only smashed the door but also shouted at her loudly, “Open the door.”

Looking out through the peephole, Emily could vaguely see two strange faces outside the door. It seemed that they were still carrying something, but she couldn’t see clearly what they were carrying with them.
