Seeing that, the waitress made an awkward laugh and felt relieved. Nonetheless, she said, “Thank you, sir.” As she pushed the food cart out the door, she counted down in her mind, “Three, two, one,” The moment she counted down to one, the sound of something collapsing echoed throughout the room.
“Come on in, guys,” Natalie, who was disguised as a waitress just now, said as she opened the door to the room.
“Where’s that jerk?” Tammy asked as she craned her head out of the doorway. Then she saw Natalie pointing at E van, who was unconscious in the room.
“Well done!” Tammy exclaimed and gave Natalie a high-five before walking into the room slowly.
At this point, Evan was lying on the table unconsciously. Tammy shoved him, and then he collapsed to the floor.
Alicia came in after Tammy. “He’s not dead, is he?” she asked nervously.
Natalie replied, “Don’t worry, he’s fine. I just gave him some sleeping pills. And the pills work best when mixed with tea.”
“Are you sure you didn’t overdose him on the pills?” Alicia asked.
Nearly rolling her eyes at Alicia, Tammy elaborated, “Relax! He won’t die. He’ll be asleep for a while; that’s all. Don’t worry. We’ve used this drug before. I’m sure it will not kill him.”
Right after finishing her words, Tammy looked down at Evan with disgust and hatred in her eyes before stomping on his face, and cursing, “You damn jerk!”
Seeing that, Alicia panicked a bit and shouted, “Tammy, you can’t do that! It’s against the law!”
Tammy rolled her eyes and asked, “Huh? Are you afraid? But you weren’t afraid at all when you hit my brother, right? Why are you being such a coward now?”
“What? Did you hit Matthew? Wow! I didn’t see it coming,” Natalie looked at Alicia and asked with her eyes widened in surprise.
Extremely embarrassed, Alicia explained, “It was a complete misunderstanding. I didn’t do it on purpose!” Taking a deep breath, Alicia looked Natalie in the eyes and reached out her hand to her, saying, “By the way, I haven’t introduced myself properly, have I? Hi, my name is Alicia.”
“Natalie, Tammy’s Grandaunt,” With a smile, Natalie shook Alicia’s hand and replied.
“Ah? Grandaunt? But you look quite young! What skincare products do you use?” Alicia exclaimed, surprised.
Natalie smiled as she touched her face. “Thank you very much for your compliment. I’m not a big fan of skincare products. I guess I’m naturally attractive.”
Speechless, Tammy said, “Okay, that’s enough. Alicia, Natalie is the adopted daughter of my great-grandfather. And she’s only a few years younger than us. You can just call her Natalie.”
Alicia wasn’t in the mood to think about their complicated relationship; all she could think about was what she would do with this man. And then she asked, “So, what should we do with him now?”
Tammy sat down on the chair and placed one foot on Evan’s back while saying, “I have a brilliant idea. How about we put him in a sack and then toss him into the river? Oh, we also need to tie some heavy rocks to him in case he doesn’t sink deep to the bottom!”
“Huh? No way! I know he’s a jerk, but we can’t kill him! Maybe we can beat him up,” Alicia said in an anxious tone.
Upon hearing Alicia’s words, Tammy and Natalie exchanged glances. Knowing what Tammy wanted, Natalie took a golf club from the desk and handed it to Alicia. “Okay, plan B it is. Alicia, hit him with the golf club then,” she said.
Startled, Alicia went completely still. Tammy, who was standing next to Alicia, clasped her hands together and said, “You suggested that we could beat him up instead. Okay, I’ll let him go. Now it’s your turn to hit him now.”
“Are you sure you want me to do that?” Alicia swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.
“Sure! Well, if you change your mind, Natalie and I will be more than glad to throw him into the water,” Shrugging, Tammy said jokingly. Somehow, Alicia couldn’t tell whether she was joking or speaking her mind out loud.
“You can’t do that!” Alicia immediately took the club. She stared at the man lying on the ground and hesitated for a long time without being able to make a move. She’d never done anything like this before. Just when she raised the club and was about to hit the man with it, the doorbell rang. The next second, Alicia dropped the golf club, which made a thud.
“Police! Open the door! “shouted the man at the door.
“The police are here?!” Alicia asked with a pale face, her voice shaking. At the same time, Tammy and Natalie’s faces turned pale as well. Though flustered, Tammy opened the door as the man outside ordered.
A group of men walked in as soon as the door opened. Three security guards led the way, followed by two men dressed in suits. One of them wore a badge that said “Lobby Manager.”
Looking at them, Alicia nervously clutched her sleeve. At that precise moment, Tammy yelled at the door, “Uncle Ryan? Is that you?”
From the back of the crowd, a tall, handsome man in a black jacket approached them. “Wait outside,” he said to the others after he saw that all three girls were fine.
After Ryan shut the door, Tammy reassured Alicia, “Don’t worry, Alicia. We’re fine. He’s my uncle.” Stunned, Alicia looked back and forth at several of them, at a loss for words.
“Where is he?” Ryan asked Natalie directly.
Rubbing her nose, Natalie asked as if she had no idea who Ryan was referring to, “Who?”
“Don’t try to fool me!” Frowning, Ryan said impatiently.
Sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Why are you yelling at me, Ryan? You should be respectful of your aunt,” Natalie replied with a serious expression.
Looking at the cup of tea on the table, Ryan exclaimed, “Cut the crap! I know what you did. Who gave you two this drug once again? Fine, we’ll talk about this later .”
He then walked to the bathroom. Tammy tried to stop him but failed. As Ryan opened the bathroom door and pulled back the bathtub curtain, he saw Evan in the bathtub, with bruises on his face.
“You two are so bold! Do you even know what you’re doing?” Ryan asked, trying his best to hold back his anger.
Leaning against the bathroom doorway, Natalie bowed her head and whispered, “He hit on Tammy and threatened her. I…”
“What?!”Ryan interrupted Natalie in disbelief.
“Well, I’ll shut up now,” Natalie said.
“Uncle Ryan, I’m the one who asked Natalie for help,” Tammy explained.
“What’s in your hand?” Ryan asked. Tammy froze, then subconsciously hid the object in her hand.
“Just give it to me.”
After Tammy reluctantly handed it to him, Ryan took the club and said to the girls, “Wait here for me.” He then closed the bathroom door.
“How did your uncle know about this?” Alicia nervously tugged on Tammy’s sleeve.
“God knows why! They’ve got informants everywhere! I’m not sure which idiot told him! Damn!”
Alicia stumbled, “What? Your uncle is…”
“The Deputy Director of Intelligence,” Natalie said calmly. Hearing that, Alicia became tenser. She started to regret that she was involved in this.
After some time, Ryan opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.
“Uncle Ryan,” Tammy said, smiling.
“Do you really think you can deal with this on your own? What if your plan fails and he attacks you? Have you ever thought of the worst-case scenarios? What on earth were you thinking?!” Wiping his hand with the towel, Ryan couldn’t hold back his anger anymore and scolded.
“Are you going to tell my brother about this, Uncle? Please don’t tell him that!” Looking at Ryan with puppy eyes, Tammy pled.
“Of course, I won’t tell your brother about it. If I do so, God knows what your brother will do to that prick?” Ryan slammed the guest room door open and said coldly, “Call the ambulance now.”
