Chapter 449: Chapter 449

"Did Carol ever show up in the end?" Rosemary asked again.

"No, that kid hasn’t answered any of our messages since she found her biological parents. We were worried she’d come running if she saw that we were hurt, but thank God she didn’t."

Logan exhaled deeply, preferring to be in danger himself rather than have his daughter involved.

"They left after three days?"

"It seems they received an important call and didn’t untie us before they left. We hadn’t eaten for three days. Although the wounds weren’t that deep, they were untreated, and we both ended up with fever. It took a couple of days for us to recover at home."

Rosemary understood. No wonder the neighbors said that Mr. and Mrs. Earwood didn’t open their door until four or five days later.

"Did they leave any message behind?" Rosemary kept on enquiring.

"They just warned us to keep our mouths shut if we didn’t want anything bad to happen to Carol. They threatened that the whole town would suffer if we opened our mouth."

On hearing that, Clark asked, "Were those guys good with their hands, like they’ve had special training?"

Logan nodded in agreement and said, "They didn’t seem like ordinary people."

At first, they thought they were dealing with street thugs, but they soon realized they were not ordinary hoodlums.

"So, you figured Carol was in danger and wanted to find her?" Rosemary asked again.

"Yes," Logan nodded. "But what we didn’t expect was that we’ve been in Lidaria for almost three months and there’s been no news.

Plus, we’ve noticed some strange things."

"What things?" Rosemary and Clark asked in unison.

"When we come home from our tutoring jobs, we always feel like things in the house have been moved."

Upon hearing that, Rosemary had a very bad feeling. "You mean, someone’s been here?"

"Stop talking." Rosemary immediately stood up, turned off all the lights in the house, took out a detector from her bag, and scanned the entire living room. She found six cameras and four bugs.

They’d probably been filmed from the moment they stepped into the living room.

Rosemary began to dismantle the hidden cameras in the wall sockets, the miniature cameras in the screw holes, and so on.

Taylor was frightened and took refuge in her husband’s arms, watching the girl’s actions in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe that those seemingly insignificant items were actually "eyes" that were watching their every move.

Logan realized suddenly that those siblings were not ordinary people either. After all, they carried such detection devices with them at all times, and the girl’s calm demeanor was far from that of an ordinary high school student!

Who were they? What was their identity?

Seeing the girl dismantle and destroy everything, Taylor couldn’t help but ask, "Kid, are you sure these things are cameras and bugs?"

"Hmm, these are just like the ones installed in your house. They’re not the latest models, but they’ll do for eavesdropping."

"Why would they be watching us?"

Taylor thought to herself. No wonder her husband had felt something amiss about the house a few times before. She had initially dismissed his concerns, but at that point, it seemed that their house had been invaded multiple times, and cameras and bugs had been installed!

The mere thought of it sent chills down her spine.

Rosemary pulled out a tiny button, indistinguishable from the real one unless inspected closely.

Not only Logan and Taylor, but even Clark was surprised by that. He didn’t expect his sister to carry such gadgets around.

Rosemary had come there with the intention of investigating Carol’s whereabouts, so her small backpack was filled with various devices.

"But our arrival here must have been captured on camera, though the audio would be disrupted. They can’t hear us, but they can see us."

"So, this place isn’t safe anymore?" Taylor was worried.

Nodding, Rosemary said, "Pack your stuff. We need to leave as soon as possible."

"Rosemary mentioned earlier that Carol didn’t come to Lidaria. There’s no point in us staying here. We should pack up and leave with them," Taylor discussed with her husband.

She was wary of those people. After all, they were ruthless and skilled.

Logan nodded, and they both went to pack.

Rosemary took out her phone again, pulled up Jerry’s WhatsApp she had added earlier, and asked him to book a room at a hotel owned by McMillian Corporation. It was relatively safer than this place.

"Rose, I don’t know how to thank you."

With the investigation reaching that point, his sister was the unsung hero, but Clark was also worried about bringing danger upon her.

"I’m just looking for my sister-in-law. It’s my duty."

Carol was a part of that family. It was her responsibility to find her if she was missing.

"Aren’t you worried that you might not get along with your future sister-in-law?"

After all, Rosemary hadn’t met Carol yet and didn’t know what kind of person she was.

"It doesn’t matter. As long as you’re happy with her."

Rosemary wasn’t one for sweet talk, but if Clark had chosen Carol, her character obviously couldn’t be too bad. So, she wasn’t worried about it.

Even if both she and Carol were aloof and didn’t have much to talk about, if Clark was happy, that was enough.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the bedroom, and Taylor instinctively screamed, "Rosemary!"

Realizing something was wrong, Rosemary exchanged a glance with Clark and immediately rushed into the room.

Inside, a masked man in black was covering Taylor’s mouth. Logan was struggling with another black-clad man.

Seeing that, Rosemary tried to kick the man in black by Mr. Earwood aside. The man in black knew that she was no ordinary girl. He dodged her kick, not wanting to waste time with Mr. Earwood and focused on dealing with Rosemary.

Clark went to rescue Mrs. Earwood. As he struggled with the man in black, Taylor was trembling with fear.

Logan told Taylor to hide by the nightstand, grabbed the lamp on it, and smashed it toward the man in black!
