Chapter 6
I pretended to have just woken up when I opened the door of my room.
“Hubby, Lilian, why are you home in the middle of the night?”
When Lilian heard Josie’s name, she hurriedly rushed into the master bedroom and screamed, “Josie, why are you here?!”
I walked over to watch the scene and found a few bodies tangled up in the room. It was an unpleasant sight.
Josie screamed, “Why did you guys come in?! Get lost!”
Lilian grabbed a blanket to cover Josie’s body and glared at the men.
“Get lost!”
When they were gone, Lucius glared at me. “What is Josie doing here?”
I feigned innocence and looked at him with an aggrieved expression.
“I was scared to be alone at home. So, I asked if Josie could come and keep me company for a few days. She insisted on staying in the master bedroom, so I let her.
“By the way, how did the men enter our house? I’ll call the cops and sue them for barging into our house illegally and manhandling Josie.”
Hatred gleamed in Lucius’s eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, “Stay out of this! Let me handle it.”
Of course, Lucius could not call the cops. If he did, he and Lilian would be implicated if the men told the truth.
Hence, Josie had to seethe in silence.
Lucius took Josie to the hospital. Lilian glared at me. “You got Josie into this mess. Why did you ask her to come here for no reason?”
I sneered. “Would it have been better if I was the one lying in that bed instead? You sound like you knew those men would barge into our house. Did you put them up to this?”
