Chapter 1784

In the attic?!

Tracy instinctively looked up. “You actually brought them into our house?! Aren't you afraid your

father will find out?!”

Sheila tugged on her mother’s arm, urging her upstairs. “So, we have to deal with those two women

and the young girl before dad returns. We need to scare them off so they won't come looking for

him again. Hurry, Mom!”

Sheila unlocked the attic.

Marlinie, Bertha, and Lea were still inside.

They had been trying to figure out a way to escape. Their pounding on the door and shouting went

ignored, until suddenly the door opened

Sheila led her mother, Tracy, in, folding her arms. She gestured with her chin to the two beautiful

women and young girl inside. “Mom, these are the women!/I have no idea which one is Dad's old

Tracy eyed the two women in the attic with hostility. She was genuinely threatened by their beauty.

She had always believed herself to be quite well-preserved for her age, but after seeing these two,

Tracy didn't want to agree, but after seeing Lea hop from one foot to the other, she relented.

Marlinie spoke up. “Let them go! I'm the one looking for Arnold. They're just here with me.”

Tracy looked up at Marlinie, finding her slightly familiar, then looked down at Lea. After a careful

inspection, she concluded that the child did not resemble Arnold and likely wasn't his illegitimate

daughter.

So, she nodded. “Sheila, take them to the restroom and keep a close eye on them. Don't let them

escape, especially not to your

Sheila acknowledged her mother and turned to Bertha with a distasteful look. “Follow me.”

father”

After Bertha and Lea followed Sheila out, Tracy focused all her attention on Marlinie. “You just said

you were looking for my husband. What do you want from him?”

“I am looking for him, not you. I think he should be the one to meet me. He should be present at

the very least.”
