Sabrina didnt think anything of what she had just seen, so she closed the window, locked it, and went back to the kitchen. She uncovered the pot and stirred the dish again.
Unbeknownst to Sabrina, a few minutes after she went into the kitchen, the black car drove out of the community. A few more minutes passed, marking the departure of the minibus in the other direction.
When Sabrina saw that the ribs simmering in the pot were almost ready, she peeled two green onions, washed them, and sliced them into pieces.
Somehow, Sabrina sensed a wave of unease wash over her. While peeling the potatoes, she accidentally cut her finger on the knife. Blood gurgled out instantly. When handling her cut, a thought struck her.
Her eyes went wide with alarm and she quickly took out her phone and dialed Betties number.
Instead of Bettie, a cold mechanical voice came through the phone.
The number you dialed is switched off.
Sabrinas heart jolted. She hung up the call and dialed Lances number instead.
After a few seconds, the call was connected.
Without greeting, Sabrina demanded, Lance, is Bettie with you?
There was a pause before Lance replied, I just dropped her in the underground garage. Hasnt she gone upstairs yet?
No, I suspect something happened to her. I cant go out now. Please come over immediately. Ill ask the property management to check the surveillance video. Before Lance could interject, Sabrina added, No matter what you see or come across on the road, just ignore it and rush back to Starry Apartment.
Okay. A trace of worry flashed across Lances eyes and he immediately turned the car around.
Previously, Lance didnt appreciate Sabrina since the latter had agreed not to send the photo of Alice hugging him to Bettie, a deal seemingly for Tyrones sake. His impression of her worsened since she failed to keep the promise. Yet, he could tell Sabrina attached great importance to her friendship with Bettie.

Despite his impression of Sabrina, Lance knew she wouldnt call him and tell him something Like this for no good reason.
Back in the apartment, an anxious Sabrina quickly dialed the number of the property management staff.

management service. Miss, what can I do for you?
About ten minutes ago, I lost a bracelet in the underground garage, and its worth fifty thousand. I just went back to look for it in vain. I suspect that someone took it. Please help me check the surveillance video. Ill be right there.
Okay. What are you wearing today?
Sabrina recalled what Bettie wore and recounted, I was wearing a light green floral chiffon blouse, a white short skirt, and white high-heeled shoes.
Okay, got it. Ill get the surveillance video now. If theres anything, Ill inform you right away.
Okay.
After the call disconnected, Sabrina called Brenton and the other bodyguard over.
She turned off the gas, changed her shoes and sat down on the sofa nervously, not daring to leave the house.
