The housekeeper was so shaken she could barely speak. “It’s not my fault,” she stammered, “She insisted on hiding here.”
“Where is she?” Luke snapped.
With a trembling hand, the housekeeper pointed to a nearby room. “In there.”
Luke let go of her and headed straight for the door.
He pushed it open, expecting furniture or maybe a mess, but the room was empty. The only thing inside was a giant dog cage in the corner, covered by a black cloth.
Luke’s eyes narrowed. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
He walked over, lifted the cloth, and found Sandy inside, glaring at him with a mix of fear and pure hatred.
“You…” Luke was stunned. He never imagined Soren would actually lock Sandy in a dog cage.
Sandy’s face twisted in rage. “Luke! You ungrateful jerk! Did you forget who saved your life? Did you forget whose kidney is keeping you alive? And now you’re teaming up with Lydia to hunt me down? How did I end up with such a cruel brother? If I’d known it would turn out like this, I should have let you die in the ICU!”
She was practically screaming, her eyes red and wild.
Luke’s heart twisted painfully in his chest. He could barely breathe.
“Soren really did this to you?” he managed to ask.
Sandy scoffed. “Oh, spare me. At least in here I’m not rotting in jail because of you two.”
“Who said anything about sending you to jail? Did you… was it really you who pushed Grandma?” Luke’s brow furrowed as he searched her face.
Sandy froze. “I didn’t push Grandma! Aren’t you and Lydia here to turn me in? Stop pretending you’re innocent, Luke!”
