Chapter 251

I had thought that this would all come to an end, and Emma would stop causing me troubles, especiallyafter Michael had made himself clear to her.

However, it was evident that I had underestimated her jealousy. The next day, the doorbell at homerang.

Upon answering the door, I saw a few tough-looking men standing outside. Taking in their fierceexpressions, I somehow had a bad feeling that they were here with no good intentions.

I glanced nervously at them as I asked timidly, “Who are you?”

“Are you Anna Garcia?” The man in lead asked coldly.

“I am. Why are you looking for me?” I had to admit I was terrified to face a few fierce-looking menalone.

“Guys, we're at the right place!” The man in lead turned around and said to the men behind him.

I frowned in confusion. Just when I was about to ask more, the leader of the group suddenly shovedme aside. He then barged into my house with his men.

They started smashing the furniture and electrical appliances inside without saying anything else. Iwidened my eyes in shock, my anger slowly surging within me.

“Who are you people? Why are you smashing my stuff?”

I rushed into the living room and shouted at them. This was outrageous. They were smashing my stuffwithout a valid reason.

However, my efforts to protest were to no avail. They didn't even look at me as they continuedsmashing around. One of them even started walking toward the bedroom.

“You'd better stop now! Otherwise, I'd be calling the police. You are trespassing on private property andattacking a citizen. You will go to jail for this!”

Seeing that none of them was paying attention to me, I got even more furious. Everything in this housecontained memories of Michael and me. I was devastated to see them being smashed into pieces.

They finally reacted a little to my threat. They shot me fierce glances while one of them walked towardme.

“You want to call the police? Sure, go ahead! I doubt you'd dare to do so!”

He was staring at the phone in my hand as he walked closer and closer toward me with a threateningaura.

I backed away slowly as I trembled in fear. I was terrified at that moment since I had no idea what theirintentions were.

“Why are you doing this? I don't even know you. Why did you barge into my house and start smashingmy stuff?” I forced myself to fix my gaze on him as I questioned loudly.

I had never seen these men before, and I knew I never had any grudges with anyone else. As such, Iwas puzzled by this whole situation.

“We were hired by someone else to do this. Young lady, you have no one but yourself to blame formaking such an enemy.”

Upon hearing that, I finally understood that they were merely hired help paid to do someone's dirty job.

However, I still couldn't think of anyone else that had bad blood with me, except for Emma.

Is she crazy? She should know how dangerous it is to have a few men barging in when I'm living on myown. Why did she do this?

“Who hired you?” I tried to look as calm as possible as I questioned the man standing in front of me.

In reality, my palms were already sweating profusely from fear. I knew I shouldn't let them sense howfrightened I was. Otherwise, they would replace me an easy target.

“Do you think we will tell you? Aren't you being a bit too naive here?” The man sneered and glanced atme with disdain.

“Guys, I think we're done here today! Let's go!”

Without answering my question, he glanced around at the messy living room behind me and noddedwith satisfaction. He then waved a hand at his men.

“You can't leave without explaining yourselves!”

Although I was terrified, I still couldn't let them get away with destroying my home before I found outwho was the one behind this.

“Get out of our way! We will beat you up if we had to!”

The man in lead shoved me aside, making me fall toward the couch. Knowing that I would hit myself onthe belly, I reflexively shielded it with my hands.

I was pregnant at that moment, and the most important thing for me was to protect my baby from anypossible harm.

I fell heavily on the couch, and fortunately, the couch was soft enough to shield me from the impact.There was a faint pain in my belly, but I knew it wasn't that serious.

They left without even looking at me.

After that, I sank onto the ground as I took in the messy living room.

This was the place I lived with Michael, and every single item in this house was filled with ourmemories. Yet, all of them were now smashed into pieces. My heart ached to see this scene.

My tears started flowing down my cheeks as I hugged my legs and curled myself on the ground. I wasterrified and feeling helpless right then.

Suddenly, my phone rang. I answered it as soon as I saw who it was from. “Michael.”

I started crying as soon as I answered the call. I was still scared from before, and I wished he was herewith me. If he was here, he wouldn't have allowed this to happen.

“Anna, why are you crying?”

Michael was startled at first when he heard me crying. His tone sounded anxious.

“C-Can you come over now? I... I'm scared...” I asked while sobbing. My voice and my body were stilltrembling.

I was still scared as I got reminded of the men barging into my house and smashing my stuff.

“What happened?” He got anxious after noticing that something was off in my tone.

I told him everything over the phone while sobbing. At that moment, I really couldn't replace it in myself tobe left alone at home.

“Wait for me. I'll be right over.” Michael ended the call right after saying this.
