"Sure, Mrs. Roberts," Judging from the noises on the other side of the phone, Evelyn was probably in
the midst of her beauty therapy session.
I glanced around and said, "Hendrix and I are planning to move. I heard that you and your family live in
Golden Scale Villa. I wonder how's the environment inside. Therefore, I would like to inquire about it.
It's not convenient for me to go around as I am pregnant. Hendrix is also busy with the company's
affair."
"Well, to be honest, Golden Scale Villa isn't anywhere as good as Flora Hill. I bought a house there for
Calvin as his matrimonial home. We've already renovated it for a month, but there are a lot of issues
since then. If it wasn't for the fact that Calvin is in a hurry to get married to his fiancee, I would have
sold the house."
I thought that the Hammer family lived here in the Golden Scale Villa, but it turned out to be Calvin's
matrimonial home. Since Calvin worked in Alford Audit, the other man in the car might have been
working for Alford Audit too.
After a pause, I replied, "I happened to be around Golden Scale Villa today. Is it possible for you to tell
the guards to let me in? I'd love to be able to go in and have a look at the environment." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Of course! Pass the phone to the guard. I'll talk to him," Evelyn agreed without hesitation.
I handed my phone over to the security guard and let Evelyn work her magic. After I hung up the call, I
entered the neighborhood smoothly.
I asked the guard for the Hammer's house address, and I headed straight toward there.
The area of the villa downtown was relatively smaller, and the developers even built multiple- story
buildings. Therefore, there were quite a lot of residents in Golden Scale Villa.
When I found the Hammer's villa, the black Maserati was still parked outside. I was unsure about the
relationship between Calvin and the man.
I wrote down the license plate number, looked around, and was ready to leave.
But I was stopped by Calvin. "Mrs. Roberts! Since you are here, why don't you come in and have a
closer look?"
I was thunderstruck. I turned around and saw Calvin behind me. He peered at me, standing on the
stairs of the villa.
My heart missed a beat. I plastered on a smile and replied to him, "Did Mrs. Hammer tell you? I came
here just to have a look at the neighborhood. I didn't mean to disturb you, and I should really go."
"Please! You're already here, and there's no reason not to come in. Otherwise, how would you know if
the villa itself is good or not? Am I right, Mrs. Roberts?" Calvin narrowed his eyes on me, and his words
implied more than they said.
I clenched my hands, and I looked up at him with a faint smile. "Thank you for your hospitality then, Mr.
Hammer."
He stretched out his hand, and he smirked, "You're welcome."
There wasn't a lot of space in the villa. It was only about two hundred and fifty square meters. I saw the
middle- aged man from earlier since I entered the house.
When the man saw me, he fixed his gaze at me. "Mrs. Roberts, you have a good memory."
At first, I wasn't sure if he was the man who had kidnapped me. But Calvin's behavior and the man's
words had validated part of my assumption.
Looking at the man, my face fell, and I asked,
"Who are you?"
"My name is Michael Lewis," He was unaffected, and he gestured to me to have a seat. "Mrs. Roberts,
what do you want? We knew that you were following us since I've picked up Calvin earlier,"
"I only have a question to ask you, Mr. Lewis." I sat on the sofa, and I continued, "I'm sure that we
hadn't met each other when he kidnapped me, so why did you kidnap me?" Michael narrowed his eyes
and had a hint of viciousness flashed across his face. He leaned back and sounded displeased, "Mrs.
Roberts, if you want to know the answer, why don't you switch off your phone and talk with me. You're
smart, but it's impolite to record our conversation, isn't it?"
I stiffened, and I broke into a cold sweat. Michael knew the tricks I would do, but he was too cautious.
