As Maya reached out to seek the other children in hiding, she tripped. She stumbled and crashed to the ground.
Her arms, legs and knees hurt terribly.
When she raised her head, she was greeted by an unexpected face.
Almost instantly, she let out an ear-piercing wail.
Lisa smirked. âThat fall must have hurt. Be careful.â
She bent down to take ahold of Mayaâs chubby arms. Lisa pinched the little girlâs arms forcefully, causing an even louder howl from Maya.
The other three children, who had been hiding, rushed over immediately.
âWhatâs wrong, Maya?â
Lisa swooped in to answer, âShe fell accidentally. It probably hurts a lot. Do comfort your sister.â
Lisa pivoted and strode towards the living room.
Nina wiped Mayaâs tears away. âThere, there. Donât cry, itâs okay.â
âWhere did you hurt yourself, Maya? Let me blow on it and itâll be all better.â
Maya gazed at Juan and Nina. Suddenly, she pointed her finger at Lisa and shrieked, âBad woman! You witch!â
Why is Maya scolding her all of a sudden?
Back from answering a call, Yoda was astonished by Mayaâs reaction.
âDid she bully you, Maya?â Kyle spat as he glared daggers at Lisa.
Maya nodded vigorously. âShe tripped me, then pinched me.â
The other three children were outraged.
âLetâs teach her a lesson!â
âYes! We have to kick that witchâs butt!â
A flash of anger streaked across Yodaâs gaze.
How dare she ambushed the children while they were alone?
She must pay!
Juan and Kyle discussed numerous revenge strategies.
Despite her anger, Nina was worried. âShe doesnât look dumb. I donât think sheâll fall for our tricks easily.â
Yoda patted Juan and Kyleâs shoulders. He brought out his phone and typed in a warning. If you commence your plans in the Seet Residence, your grandparents might be blamed.
The two boys looked at each other. âWhat do you think we should do?â
Leave it to me!
âYou?â
âI think itâs worth a shot. Weâll have Yoda follow her and beat her up somewhere along the road. Yoda, Iâll apply some makeup on you so she wonât be able to point you out as the perpetrator.â
Yoda nodded after a moment of hesitation. Itâs not like the makeup will help.
Nina applied a simple layer of makeup on his face. When Lisa stepped out of the living room, he immediately sprang into action and began to tail her closely.
The Seet Residence was not far from where Lisa was staying. She strolled down the path with a relaxed gait.
âThat annoying Evan is finally dead. Long overdue if you ask me. I canât believe someone as pathetic as Davin thinks he has what it takes to become president. How shameless is he? When I get home, Iâll make a few calls to the board of directors. Iâll make his life miserable!â
As the last word fell from her lips, she felt the cold metal of a blade press down on her neck.
She flinched in fright as all color drained from her face.
âWho⦠Who are you?â Lisa stuttered.
âYouâll find out once you turn your head, Aunt Lisa.â
This voiceâ¦
Lisaâs heart plummeted.
She gingerly turned her head. When she saw the person behind her, the jaws of terror snapped down upon her.
âYou⦠You⦠How can it be you? Are you a ghost?â
âEven if I was dead, I would rise from the grave to punish you for laying a hand on my child.â
âWhat do you want from me?â
She had barely finished uttering the words when his arm shot upwards, brandishing the dagger.
âAh!â
Lisa collapsed after letting out a single blood-curdling scream.
âWhy are you back so early, Yoda?â
âHow did you get back at her? Did you beat her to a pulp?â
Yoda typed out his response on his phone. I did! I taught her a lesson sheâll never forget. It was my pleasure.
The childrenâs fury was quenched.
Lisa awoke to thick bandages wrapped around her face. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while. All of a sudden, fear engulfed her gaze and she started to yell.
âDonât, donât come over here. Ghost! Thereâs a ghost! Leave me alone!â
Adam was speechless at her display. âWhat happened, Lisa? Who did this to you?â
