Chapter 142

"Hello, I'd like to make a police report. Someone trespassed into my house. I need you to send

someone over to investigate," I replied.

"Sure, ma'am. Our patrol officers will be right there as soon as possible," The police officer said over

the phone.

Andrea looked at me in disbelief as I hung up the phone. She asked, mouth gaped, "Arianna, what are

you doing?"

I crossed my arms and leaned on the door frame, "Making a police report."

Andrea clenched her fists tightly, and her face turned pale. She stared at me with anger in her eyes and

said, "This is Hendrix's house. He bought most of the objects here because I liked them. Arianna,

you're so shameless to try and claim this place!"

I raised my eyebrows and glanced at the things in the house. Then I said, "Miss Burton, you do like a

variety of things, but that doesn't mean those things belong to you just because you like them. I wonder

what you learned over the years you received basic education?"

I noticed that there were some delicate vases on top of the living room's collection rack. It seemed like

Andrea bought those for Hendrix back then.

I walked over, looked at one of the vases and asked, "Is this what you liked?"

Once I finished my words, I pushed the vase down the rack without hesitation, and then the sweet

sound of a breaking celadon echoed through the villa.

"Arianna! You... I'm not done with you!" Andrea said with her eyes red, and she was about to come

onto me.

I have spent the past two years dealing with her, and I couldn't be more familiar with her tricks.

I steadily moved my body away from her. And since she was pouncing at me out of anger, she couldn't

stop herself, so she crashed into the collection rack.

Andrea broke a couple of valuable items.

My heart ached a little at the loss, then I said, "Miss Burton, remember to compensate me for that after

you calm down."

Andrea was trembling from anger. She looked like she couldn't wait to tear me apart, and she said

angrily, "Arianna, you're going too far."

A siren rang outside the villa, and it didn't take long for someone to ring the doorbell.

When I opened the door, three young policemen came in. When they saw me, they asked, "Someone

reported about a trespass, may we know who's the property owner?"

"That'd be me," I responded. I handed over my ID card and property ownership certificate to the

officers, and then explained, "This lady here entered my house without my permission, and she also

damaged some valuable items. Please take care of this matter."

"Sure, Miss Reid. Are you hurt?" One of the policemen returned the certificate to me and asked.

I shook my head.

Perhaps Andrea had never been mistreated like this before, she glared at me and repeated the same

sentence, "Arianna, I'm not done with you!"

Two policemen took her away.

Looking at the state the living room was in, I was in no mood to clean it up, so I went straight back to

my bedroom.

As soon as I was done bathing, I fell asleep.novelbin

Halfway through my sleep, the doorbell rang. I thought I heard it wrong, so I turned around and went

back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the doorbell rang again.

I got out of bed while trying to figure out who would be there at such a late hour.

Through the security camera, I saw that it was Josiah who was standing by the door in his dark clothes.

It was already two in the morning. Why was he standing at the door?

I opened the door sleepily, looked at him, and asked, "Doctor Saunders, what's wrong?"

He looked at me and breathed a sigh of relief, "Why didn't you answer your phone?"

I was slightly taken aback, "I turned on silent mode earlier and I fell asleep. What's wrong?"

He entered the villa, laid on the sofa wearily, and said, "Hendrix wants you to deliver some porridge to

the hospital for him. He's craving for it."

I didn't know what to comment on Hendrix's request. So I asked Josiah, "There are plenty of

restaurants near the hospital, you could've just randomly bought him one. Why did you come all the

way here?"

He pinched the bridge of his nose and replied tiredly, ''He wanted you to cook for him and deliver it to

him in person."
