The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2518

Those men did not succeed the day before and actually appeared again today.

They were calling out at the door again. I did not hide away this time. I immediately opened the door.

I knew the moment I saw the leader that he was a gangster. He even had a tattoo on him, probably to intimidate people. He glared at me fiercely. "Are you Wanda Lane?"

I nodded and met his fierce gaze. "That's me."

"Do you know why we've come looking for you?"

""Not a clue."

He smiled before shoving me aside and entering the house. "Someone instructed us to make sure you come with us and have a proper meet-up with them."

""Who is it?"

"You'll know once you come with us." He turned his head and looked at me while smiling in a flattering manner.

I rolled my eyes slightly and asked lightly, "Does this have something to do with the Yard family?"

The leader was quite smart. He waved his hand. "I can't say anything. You'll know as long as you come with us."

"Do you think I'll go with you?" I asked them back, my scrutinizing gaze falling upon them. "It's clear from your appearance and the way you knocked on my door that this won't go well for me. Won't I just be walking straight into a trap if I follow you?"

The strong man raised his head and laughed. "He said you're not one to mess with, and he was right. I like it, though. My brothers, this beautiful chick won't come with us on her own. What do you think should I do?"

"Pick her up and go."

"Throw her over the shoulder and go."

They all scrambled to express their opinions when they were, in fact, just trying to take advantage of the situation.

The man turned to me again. "Look, you either come with us yourself or I'll have them take you away with us." He raised a wicked-looking brow, and it made my skin crawl.

"Didn't he ask you lot to invite me over? He wouldn't allow you to hurt me, so I'm not worried."

"You're that confident, eh?"

"Of course. You guys have been shouting at my house for two days. You didn't even strike me when you saw me today. You're just posturing so that I'll go with you obediently to meet your boss. But I don't think he dares do anything to me since I have powerful people behind me. Am I wrong?" I tilted my head upward and looked at the tall man.

His expression shifted a little when he heard what I said. Still, he continued with his pomp display. "Stop talking and follow us. Otherwise, don't blame us for using force."

"That depends if you lot are able to take me away."

Neil and several policemen appeared the moment I said that and surrounded them. The leader's arrogant attitude immediately withered when he saw the police. He raised both arms above his head. "Sirs, we didn't do anything."

"We saw everything from your trespassing on private property as well as harassing and threatening a good woman. You lot are coming with us."

The group was led away in cuffs. Since I had already given my statement yesterday with Neil, neither of us needed to follow along.

After they left, Neil looked at me. "Are you alright?"

"Don't worry. They wouldn't dare hurt me. They were just following orders."

"I heard you mention the Yards just now. Which family did you mean? Don't tell me it's the family that once occupied more than half of Whaldorf City?" There was slight disbelief in Neil's tone. "You know about them?" I asked Neil back.

His eyes widened. "You do mean them. Anyone from Whaldorf City would know about the Yard family. They're like gods."

"You're exaggerating."
