NovelGoldAt the Lowe Mansion, Liza recounted the whole event to Garland.
"You have no idea how terrifying it was. Those people were after our lives. Several of them are missing. You need to talk to Dad and have him catch them all." Garland, who had been dragged out of bed in the middle of the night, felt dizzy when Liza rambled on and on in his ear. The worst part was that her story was incoherent. He had no clue what was going on.

Garland had a headache coming on. "Wait. Stop for a moment. Can you at least tellwho these people are?" Liza finally explained, "The leader is Cathryn." "Cathryn? Where is she?" "She's dead." "What about the others?" "I don't know." Garland slumped back onto the sofa. As Liza tried to persuade him again, he said, "Do you think I'm skind of miracle worker? If Marion and Drake can't find them, how can I?" Liza had overestimated his abilities. Even if Fermin were still alive, he probably wouldn't know who those people were either.
Drake cout of his room and complained, "If you want to chat, go back to your room. Don't disturb my sleep." "Didn't you just get back? You're already tired?" Liza countered, her mind still reeling from the event. She didn't feel like sleeping at all. Besides, as far as she remembered, Drake never slept at night.
"So what?" Drake growled. "Just shut your mouth, or I'll have someone shut it for you." With that, he returned to his room.
Eager to hit the sack, Garland took the chance to advise Liza. He patted her hand and said, "You've been through a lot tonight. Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" He got up from the sofa and ran toward the second floor Frustrated, Liza whipped out her phone and dialed Bert's number.
"If you won't talk to Dad, I will. As long as Dad steps in, all those villains will be caught." Normally, Bert would answer the phone ght away. But after a l tthe call still hadn't gone els through She looked at the number on the screen, confirming it was correct, and tried again.

Bert pampered her and would never ignore her calls. She didn't know el m what was going on.
She glanced at the time, wondering if Bert had gone to bed. She gave up and decided to try again tomorrow.
She put her phone away and returned to her room.
When Debra woke up the next morning, she habitually reached out to her side, but it was empty. She opened her eyes and found Marion was no longer there.
