Chapter 1372 Becoming Homeless (1/2)
On the other end of the call, Sybil kept silent for a long time. Then she sneered, ”Hey, is it Miss Wang? What are Your Excellency's orders?”
Her voice dripped with sarcasm. Estelle curled her lips and replied in a cold voice, ”Cut the crap. Come here and open the door!” There seemed to be a laugh sounding from Sybil, and then she fell silent. After a while, the call was ended.
Estelle knew that Sybil would never come out to open the door for her.
She gritted her teeth and dialed Sybil several more times, but no one answered. Sybil just completely ignored her.
”You don't want to answer my call?” Estelle murmured to herself. ”Okay, then I'll climb over the wall and break down the door!” Then, she rolled up her sleeves and began to scale the wall.
However, no matter how hard she struggled in her attempt to climb over the wall, she made little progress. Suddenly, a little boy came out of the house with a ball in his hands. He looked at Estelle, stupefied. Ten seconds later, he seemed to realize what was happening, and then he burst into tears.
Estelle was frightened, and she quickly jumped off the wall. She lost her balance and landed on the ground.
Somehow, when she saw the little boy crying, her own raw emotions were triggered, and a lump formed in her throat. She started crying, wailing even louder than the little boy.
At that moment, the door behind the little boy suddenly opened again. A middle-aged couple came out.
The man picked up the little boy and looked at Estelle in confusion. As for the woman, she opened the door, went to Estelle, and pulled her up from the ground.
The woman looked at Estelle nervously and asked, ”Ouch, you're crying so sadly! Did you get hurt?”
Hearing her words, Estelle couldn't speak for a while. She had even forgotten why she was crying. She sniffed and shook off the woman's hands. She took a few steps back, and then looked at her family home, pointed at the house, and asked, ”Is this your home?”
”Yes!” the woman replied.
”So, have you been living here for a long time?” Estelle asked the woman, unwilling to give up.
The woman shook her head and looked to the man for support. He immediately walked forward with the boy in his arms.
His piercing eyes looked Estelle up and down. Estelle shrank back fearfully. This man's gaze was just too fierce.
The boy had stopped crying in the man's arms, and he looked at Estelle curiously. Estelle mustered up some courage then and asked again, ”Excuse me, have you been living here for a long time?”
