The morning fog was heavier than usual due to the storm a few days ago. The sun started to rise, easing some of the coldness that was left from that night.
At the Chu mansion, Alliana was wearing sexy sportswear while her body was bent in an arc.
She breathed deeply. The cold air passed through her nostrils. She was facing the balcony, watching the sun rise, while doing some yoga exercises.
A knock sounded from the door.
"Come in."
A senior maid came in with a small basin. She then silently arranged the Eldest Miss' bed and cleaned her room.
Due to the accident yesterday, Charlie, the head butler, strongly warned the maids to not let any new maids serve the Eldest Miss. None of them were to appear in front of her at all. It was to avoid any more accidents that might lead to reducing the number of the staff.
The mansion was busy right now due to the upcoming marriage of the Madam. They were originally understaffed. When they hired a batch of new maids a week ago, the Eldest Miss fired a few of them soon afterwards. And yesterday, she fired another one.
Charlie was having a headache.
Eldest Miss, please stop firing people!
I desperately need more staff!
Alliana was aware of Charlie's worries. However, too bad for Charlie, Alliana had already decided to make a mess with her mother's preparations for the wedding. The more mess there was, the more time they would need for the preparations.
Then the curse-like accident would likely come before the marriage.
For Alliana, it was better if the unforeseen yet inevitable accident would come sooner instead of later. Because if her mother married yet another man and that man died once they were already married, it would hurt her mother more.
Deaths and people leaving them had become a common thing for their family. It would be better if it happened sooner so their hopes would not rise too much.
Alliana did not glance at the newcomer in the room. Her eyes were closed as she breathed steadily in and out.
After changing her position, she opened her eyes and asked the person who was still cleaning in the room. "Have any of my sisters arrived?"
"None of them have arrived yet, Eldest Miss."
Alliana's brow rose. She glanced at the senior maid. "They are supposed to come yesterday night. How come none of them are here yet?"
"They have not called the house, so we do not have any news from them, Eldest Miss."
Alliana stopped meditating. She stood up gracefully.
Her pretty brows were furrowed.
She expected them to come home late since both of them were finally out for a trip. But they actually spent a full night outside?
Aliana was full of doubts.
"Can you hand my phone to me? It is on the bedside table."
The senior maid respectfully handed her the phone. After Aliana dialed their contact numbers twice, none of her sisters answered.
Now, Alliana was getting worried.
Her two sisters were the ones who did not have much experience with the outside world. What if those two popped their cherries with someone they did not even know?
Alliana, who had long been exposed to the rated SPG world at night, first suspected that the situation would have some relations to R-18 content whenever 'spending the night' was in topic.
(E/N: SPG means 'strong parental guidance' themes not advisable for children to watch)
But then she paused.
The image of her super-conservative second sister Ariana came to her mind.
A mummy covered from head to toe.
That girl would not even let herself be seen in an underwear in front of her own sisters. It was more unlikely to happen in front of other people.
Next, there was her overly-cautious and smart third sister, Angel.
She dressed and acted like her life was in a constant horror movie. People usually put their distance from her whenever she was around.
She should be safe, right?
"Hmmm, but both of my sisters are beautiful." Alliana clicked her tongue while she scrolled on her phone. "Ugh. These two did not even think of contacting me. How can they not even send me a message?"
She then dialed her mother's phone number.
Perhaps they reached out to their mother. It was unlikely, but there was still hope.
After a few rings, a husky voice of a man answered the phone instead.
"Alliana? Your mother is currently in the shower. Do you want me to pass a message to her?"
Alliana's face darkened.
This was probably… Jorge? Or was it Josh?
Ha. These two were really having a good time of their life. Let's see how long this man would last.
Alliana's voice as she replied was cold and unfeeling.
"Yes, I do. Tell her that her two daughters have been missing since yesterday. None of them are answering their phones. And if they ever contact our mother, message me. That is all."
Toot.
She ended the call immediately.
There was no need to converse with a man who would soon leave her mother in the future.
At this time, as soon as she ended the call, her phone rang.
It was her sister, Ariana.
Alliana: "..."
She answered the call with a glum face.
"Where are you?"
"Sister… I am with Angel. Can you pick us up?"
