Chapter 18 How Could They
Living next door was a retired elderly couple who immediately came out when they heard the
commotion. They also witnessed the terrifying scene where someone came to vandalize in the
afternoon, leaving them too scared to come out again. This girl had grown up under their watchful eyes;
she was well- behaved and sensible, and they couldn’t understand how she had provoked such
individuals.
Genevieve hobbled over, her face filled with worry, and said, “Child, those people are wicked and not
good people. Be careful, they might come to bother you again. Why don’t you come and stay at my
house for a
while?”
Harold excitedly tapped his cane and echoed Genevieve’s words, “Yes, it’s just the two of us at home.
Come and stay with us; we have a spare room for you.”
Listening to the words of the two elderly people, Angela felt a warm feeling in her heart. Angela smiled
and comforted the old couple, “Genevieve, if they can do it once, they can do it twice. Hiding at your
place is not a solution.”
Genevieve looked at her and said. “Then…”
“I will call the police.” Angela shook her phone. “Leave this kind of thing to the professionals.”
Genevieve suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, you’re right. We should call the police
quickly and apprehend those wrongdoers!”
Harold understood and took a few steps back with his wife. He said to Angela, “Angela, don’t be afraid,
go ahead and call the police! We were all there this afternoon; the scene is intact, and no one has
entered again. When the police come, we’ll testify for you! Trespassing and vandalizing like this can not
only result in imprisonment but also make them pay for the damages. Harold was a retired soldier;
although he was old, he still had a sharp mind and remembered this legal knowledge. He fully
supported the girl’s actions.
Thank you, Harold.” Angela smiled sweetly,
Then she took out her phone and called 911 to file a report.
After the call was connected, a sweet female voice came through. “Hello, 911. How can I assist you?”
“Hello, I want to report a crime. Someone trespassed into a private residence near the military zone’s
Northcity Avenue…”
Angela provided detailed information and hung up the phone. She instinctively wanted to take a photo,
but as she looked at the darkened screen, she sighed helplessly.
Half an hour later, two police officers arrived and took photos from various angles with a camera before
going to the security room to check the surveillance footage. Fortunately, even though it wasn’t as
advanced as a decade later, surveillance equipment had gradually become more common during this
era. Surveillance cameras had been installed two years ago, especially at the main entrance and the
entrance to
the unit.
When they retrieved the surveillance footage in the security room, Angela saw Samuel carrying a
bucket of paint appearing in the frame. Although she had already guessed it, seeing it with her own
eyes still made her feel disgusted. She clenched her fists tightly. I’ll make him pay.
With the surveillance records and eyewitnesses, the police could easily gather evidence. It was
basically undeniable. Following the procedure, after taking the statement, the police noted Angela’s
phone number and told her to wait at home for updates, cautioning her not to wander around these
days. Then, they left.
After the police left, Angela started cleaning up the room. Harold and Genevieve also came to help.
The walls had been splattered with red paint, which looked so glaring.
As the two elderly people cleaned up, they sighed. How much hatred must there be to destroy a home
like
this?
After tidying up the room, Angela moved the useless items downstairs. It seemed that misfortunes
never come singly, many things needed to be replaced. However, this time, she wasn’t afraid at all.
She wouldn’t foolishly endure it anymore. Not only did she want to give those people a profound
lesson, but she also wanted to make them pay for their actions.
“Miss Kins, what happened to you? Why…?” Suddenly, someone behind her spoke not too far away.
Angela turned around, surprised to see Sebastian holding a large plastic bag, his gaze fixed on the
broken items in her hands, wearing a puzzled expression.
Biting her lip slightly. Angela disposed of the items in the trash can before calmly explaining, “It’s
nothing. just a burglary. Some things got damaged.”
Sebastian was taken aback. “A burglary? Are you alright? Do you need any assistance? Master
Jonathan has an extensive network of connections. We can inform the police.”
I’m fine, Sebastian. I’ve already reported it to the police!” Angela quickly interjected, feeling curious This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
about why Sebastian was there so late. With this thought in mind, Angela asked him.
Sebastian appeared surprised and smiled. “You didn’t know? We live nearby, just a little further ahead.
Master Jonathan lives alone here and occasionally visits the Sanderses.”
Angela was somewhat taken aback. She truly had no idea. It turned out that Jonathan was living alone
near her grandmother’s house.
Sebastian had to rush back after going out to buy things. Once he ensured Angela was alright, he
departed. Upon arriving home, Sebastian placed the items he purchased in the refrigerator, organized
them, and discussed Angela. “I just came back from shopping and bumped into that young girl from the
Kins Family. It’s truly heartbreaking to see her living alone at such a tender age. Her house was robbed
this afternoon. and I witnessed her holding a bunch of broken things. These despicable individuals
didn’t even spare a young girl. However, she displayed remarkable bravery. Despite the situation, she
didn’t shed a tear and calmly contacted the police.”
On the living room couch, Jonathan propped his head up with one hand and slowly opened his eyes.
