Louis left without turning his head.
The tears on Xyla’s face were slowly drying up. She took a step back and leaned on the wall as she
slowly calmed herself down.
At Blackgold…
Quincy pushed the door open and walked into the office. He handed a document to Nolan and said, “I’ve
checked the surveillance cameras around the bar Ms. Mayweather went last night. It’s true that a few
thugs nearly raped her.”
Nolan scanned through the document and put it aside. “Go find them.”
Quincy nodded. After Quincy left the office, Nolan leaned against the back of the chair and rubbed
his forehead. His heart had nearly leaped out of his throat when he heard from
Saydie that someone had nearly poured sulfuric acid on Maisie.
No matter who wanted to harm her this time, he was not going to let them go away.
Soon, Quincy found the group of men through the surveillance video. Saydie tagged along with him and
came to a billiard parlor, where they usually gathered for gambling.
Both of them barged into the billiard parlor, and there were a lot of unemployed young men in there.
When they sensed that they had come with bad intentions, they all picked up their weapons and asked,
“Who the hell are you guys?”
Before Quincy could say anything, Saydie had already charged toward them.
Her strikes were lethal, and she was agile. She slalomed between ten or so strong young men, taking
them down one by one in several quick moves. In the end, all of them had collapsed to the ground,
moaning and squirming in pain.
Two more men were hiding in the corner. They were so scared they did not dare to make any sound.
Quincy took out Xyla’s photo and showed it to them. “Have you seen this woman before?”
The man, whose bone Saydie had broken, nodded and said, “Y-Yes. We saw her yesterday.”
Quincy pressed on. “Who sent you to her?”
The man’s eyes swiveled around in his sockets. He swallowed a few gulps of saliva, but he did not say
anything.
Saydie pulled out a gun, and the man’s expression changed drastically. “It’s Ms. Hannigan!”
It went without saying that Quincy knew which “Ms. Hannigan” he was talking about.
They then left the billiard parlor after getting the answer. When they arrived in front of their car, Quincy
turned around and realized that Saydie was playing with the gun in her hand. His expression changed,
and he said, “It’s already surprising enough that you’re bringing a gun with you, but how could you play
with it? Do you want it to go off?”
I’m still young, and I don’t want to die so early!’
Saydie glanced at him and pulled the trigger. A plume of blue flame then sprouted from the muzzle, and
Quincy was rendered speechless.
‘So it’s just a lighter:
Quincy reported his findings to Nolan, and when Nolan heard that Maizie was behind everything, his face
sank.
He tapped his finger on the desk and said,” Go ask Nathaniel. Does he want his daughter or his family?”
As soon as Maizie stepped into her house, she heard her mother crying.
“I’m sure it isn’t Zee! It must be someone who instructed her to do that!”
Nathaniel couldn’t stand her crying anymore. He smashed the teapot on the floor and said, “You’re still
protecting her after all this time? I fed and clothed you and your daughter, but look at what your daughter
has done! She brought nothing but troubles and problems to her family.”
Maizie was stunned. She stood frozen stiff in the foyer and didn’t enter the living room.
Mrs. Hannigan saw her and called out to her. “Zee.”
“Hmph! Since you are back, hurry up, pack your things, and get out.” Nathaniel said without looking at
her.
“What do you mean, Dad?”
Maizie walked up to Nathaniel and asked,” How can you chase me away? Who gave you the permission
to do that?”
Nathaniel gave her a huge slap in the cheek, sending Maizie falling to the floor, her face filled with shock
and fear.
Nathaniel pointed at her and said, “You know clearly what you have done. From today onward, you’re not
my daughter. Get out of my house.”
“Please, Nathaniel! Zee has grown up beside me since she was a kid. Where do you want her to go?”
Mrs. Hannigan kneeled on the floor and pleaded, hoping that Nathaniel would change his mind but to no
avail. He pushed her away mercilessly.
