Chapter 4

No one replied.

Milford patted his shoulder and said, “Rocky, what's the point of talking to a woman like this? She does not know what's good for her.

“Yesterday he made up a story to trick us, who knows what tricks she will have today?”

Rocky took a deep breath and could only say, “Okay, Deanne, you have guts.”

As soon as they turned around, they met the cleaning lady who came to clean the room.

The cleaning lady looked at the three people gathered at the door in surprise and asked, “Are you looking for a place to stay? This room has just been vacated. I'll move in after I finish cleaning it.

“That's weird. I have not even finished cleaning yet, why did the front desk check in the room?”

Rocky's face changed drastically and his hands were shaking as he asked, "What she said last night couldn't be true, right?"

Milford’s face also turned pale. The two of them pushed aside the cleaning lady and squeezed into the room.

“Deanne, Deanne!”

I followed them to see their faces after seeing the room was empty.

Indeed, there was nothing in it, not even single blood shattered.

The cleaning lady inserted the card, and with a click, the light flashed twice and turned on.

“What are you doing? The room is empty. They checked out last night.”

The two of them froze in place, like the Joker.

Rocky laughed angrily after hearing that and sneered, “Deanne really deserves to die. After all this, how dare she return home quietly?”

Leila was startled by the two of them and walked into the room. As soon as she came, she covered her nose in disgust and mocked, “Deanne is so worse. How can a girl's room be so smelly?”

She took Rocky's arm and grumbled, “How could Deanne lie like this? There was no blood on the ground. She was so outrageous that we were so worried.”

Rocky turned and walked out.

“Alright, she’s bold. Let’s see how long that lasts. Once I pull her family’s investment, she better not come crawling back in tears, begging for mercy.”

Maybe after I died, my soul’s emotions also faded. I did not feel anything when I heard this.

Well, let it be.

Anyway, my parents always thought I was useless and incompetent, especially after Leila came back.

My mother slapped me directly one day and yelled, “Deanne, what's the use of you? Even your man is being taken away.

“You must marry Rocky, or don’t come back to this house!”

Several people played happily for the whole day.

During this period, Rocky and Milford called me, but no one answered.

Rocky finally sent me a message. [Deanne, this is your last chance. If you don’t kneel down and apologize on the day we return home, I will cut off your family’s investment.]

He also kindly sent me the flight number. [Don’t be late, Milford will make a video of you apologizing. This is all your own fault.]

When getting off the plane, Rocky adjusted his tie proudly.

He held Leila with one hand.

Milford gave them a thumbs up as he praised, “A talented man and a beautiful woman, this pose is perfect for the photo.

“Don’t worry, Leila, I will take pictures of you like a fairy.”

Leila snorted, put her hands on her waist, and her face was puffed up when she stated, “I am indeed a fairy.”

They thought they would see me crying bitterly, but after waiting for a long time, they still did not see anyone.

Rocky took a breath, rubbed his nose hard, and said angrily, “Good, very good.”

He took out his cell phone, but the dialog box was still silent. When he called my phone again, it was still turned off.

Leila carefully pulled Rocky's sleeve and muttered slowly, “Rocky, I must have made Deanne angry. Maybe she won't come out if I'm still here. I'm leaving now.”

Rocky pulled Leila into his arms.

“This bitch Deanne really makes me furious.”
