Lilliana pointed at them to make herself seem more threatening, but she forgot that her hand was stained with Emily's blood.
The man with the tie frowned when he saw the blood. He did not dare to waste any more time.
"Missus Addison and Miss Lilin might be injured! Men, go in and look for them right away!"
"Yes, sir!"
The men in black suits busted in through the door and started searching through every nook and cranny of all four floors.
Lilliana and Sherlyn were rattled.
Lilliana got up and went to stop them. "What are you doing? I didn't say you can come in! Don't touch my stuff. Get out, or I'm going to call the cops!"
However, she could not stop any of them, and none of them took her threats seriously either.
"Ma'am, you can call the cops if you want. We'll talk to them once they're here. In the meantime, please get out of our way," said the man with the tie.
"You guys are no better than goons!" spar Lilliana through gritted teeth.
She would have called the cops if she could; she just did not want the cops to find out she had injured Emily.
Judging by how fast they were going through the house, it would only take them another few more minutes before they found the two women and the little girl locked in the attic.
Sure enough, before they could even come up with a plan, Lilliana and Sherlyn heard one of the men upstairs say, "I found them! Missus Addison and Miss Lilin are locked inside the attic! Hurry, call the ambulance! Missus Addison's friend is injured!"
Some of the men in black rushed upstairs to help both women and the little girl down while the rest called the ambulance.
The man with the tie reported the situation to Adam. He sighed with relief when he heard it was Emily who was hurt. 'Phew! Good thing Missus Addison and Miss Lilin are okay. Otherwise, Mister Addison will have my head!'
However, he knew how important Emily was to Melinda. His head would roll too if Melinda was sad about Emily's injury. 'D*mn it! We shouldn't have stayed outside. We should've come in with Missus Addison and Miss Lilin so that nothing like this would happen!'

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
