"You..." “You what, Brenda? Are you haunted by demons because of your evil deeds?" Alley Houston emerged from the shadows, closing in behind Brenda Mclean, her gaze filled with malice, and her voice icy, sending shivers down Brenda Mclean's spine. "What do you want? Don't come any closer! Sam Goodwin is outside; I'll scream!" Brenda Mclean turned around to face Alley Houston, gripping the sink tightly. Alley Houston smirked, taunting her with contemptuous words."Those who do evil always think others want to do the same. Isn't it true that you enjoyed tearing your clothes in front of others?

When Karimba Cellon regained consciousness, he found Mr. Markus Cellon and Ms. Mary by his side. Seeing both his parents there at the same time surprised him a little, but he remained unemotional. Ms. Mary was as caring as ever, sitting beside him, using a cloth to wipe his body, her eyes filled with concern.

In the darkness, on the highest floor of an elegant white building, a petite figure was struggling and climbing along the balcony, appearing distressed and desperate.The most excruciating pain seemed to make Alley Houston more alert than ever before. Her small hands, covered in blood, clung tightly to a rough cloth as she exerted all her strength to descend below. Alley Houston cheered herself on, knowing that there were only two more floors to go before reaching the ground.Suddenly, the rough cloth in her hand slipped, and Alley Houston let out a terrified scream before falling into the bushes behind the mansion."What was that noise?"Lying in the bushes, Alley Houston felt the pain coursing through her body as if every bone was shattered. Her smooth, white skin was covered in scratches and oozing blood. She knew that the security guards of the mansion would surely use their flashlights to search the area. They were both numerous and aggressive, and she had to leave before being d

Among the Houston guards, a tall man stepped forward and addressed Karimba Cellon:"Mr. Karimba Cellon, if this is your territory, we naturally won't intrude. But Ms. Alley belongs to the Houston family, and she's currently unwell. The elders want to take her back to the Houston residence to take care of her. You see, it's a family matter for the Houstons...""Who said Alley Houston is part of the Houston family?" Karimba Cellon glared, gritting his teeth.Karimba Cellon suddenly shouted loudly, startling both the Houston guards and Alley Houston, who were hiding near the door. Alley Houston felt a mix of fear and astonishment. Clearly, Karimba Cellon could hand her over to the Houstons, but he was doing everything to protect her. She had no idea that before coming here, Karimba Cellon had arranged his security pers
