Marry My Ex’s Uncle After Rebirth by Agatha Barney

Stephanie highly doubted the housekeeper’s words. “Did you see who picked Grandpa up?” she asked.

The housekeeper replied, “No. Mr. Hayes said you came to pick him up, so he directly carried his suitcase and got into the car.”

“What about the license plate number?” Stephanie asked.

The housekeeper shook her head and said, “I wasn’t paying attention.”

Stephanie narrowed her eyes and took a step forward. Meanwhile, the housekeeper took a step back.

Stephanie sneered, “What are you afraid of?”

The housekeeper lowered her head and said, “No, I-I just don’t like to be too close to others.”

Stephanie shook her phone and said, “I’ve recorded everything you said. If you lie, I’ll sue you immediately.”

The housekeeper frowned and said in a panic, “Ms. Hayes, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”

“Sure!” Stephanie said. The smile on Stephanie’s face disappeared as soon as the housekeeper shut the door.

Stephanie had severed ties with the Hayes family. They would sue her for t r e s p a s s i g if she broke in and searched the house, for they were now worried they couldn’t get leverage over her.

When Vincent saw Stephanie return to the car without accomplishing anything, he asked gloomily, “How’s it going?”

After hearing her repeat what the housekeeper had told her, Vincent pursed his lips.

He got his laptop and put it on his lap, then typed on the keyboard quickly. Soon, he hacked into the mansion area’s surveillance cameras.

He opened all the surveillance footage around the Hayes manor. Six footages were displayed on the screen, and the time was rewound to an hour ago.

Upon fast-forwarding the footage, they noticed that what the housekeeper said about Austin being picked up half an hour ago was not true.

Vincent rewound the footage’s time to 7 a.m. Ever since Austin left at 8 a.m. and returned at 10 a.m., he never left again. Thus, the housekeeper was lying.

Stephanie knew this must be Horace and Matilda’s order. Stephanié thought, ‘They want to control me by controlling grandpa.

Stephanie took out her phone and reported to the police that Austin had been kidnapped.

The police immediately rushed to the Hayes manor to understand the situation.

Stephanie played the recording of the housekeeper’s words to the police, which led the police to question the housekeeper again while retrieving the surveillance footage around the house.

Seeing this, the other housekeepers immediately called Horace.

Meanwhile, Horace and Matilda had just settled Florence down.

Horace said confidently, “Flore, don’t worry. Stephanie will drop the lawsuit and let you out in less than two days.”

Matilda whispered, “We’ve kept your grandpa hidden. She’ll never find him.”

Florence frowned and said, “Then you’d better go find her and ask her to drop the lawsuit. I can’t stay in this d m n e d place anymore!”

Matilda clicked her tongue. She said, “Surely, we must let her be anxious for two days. And when we find her, we need to check if she’s carrying any recording devices. She’s just too cu

Horace nodded and said, “Yes. Flore, bear with it for a while. We’ll take you away from here as soon as possible. As long as you keep silent and look. depressed, no one will give y

yo u a hard time.”

Looking at the woman tied up on the other bed, Florence couldn’t help but feel disgusted. “Then hurry up!”

Horace and Matilda nodded repeatedly. T

Just then, Horace’s phone rang. It was the housekeeper. He picked it up and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The caller lowered their voice and said, “Bad news, Mr. Hayes. Ms. Stephanie Hayes called the police and told them Mr. Austin Hayes was kidnapped. Now the police are searching at home!”

“What?” Horace exclaimed. He was so angry that his chest ached. “This b a s t a r d! I’m going back now!” he said.

Looking at his angry face, Matilda knew something had happened. “What exactly is going on?” she asked.

Horace gritted his teeth fiercely and said, “Stephanie reported to the police that Dad was kidnapped. They’re searching for him at home now.”

Florence, who had been lying on the hospital bed, jumped up. “What do we do? What if they found him?” she asked.

Horace rubbed his temple. He replied, “He’s well hidden. They might not find him. Let’s not panic. We can’t lose our composure.”

He then looked at Florence and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll pick you up early,” Then he left with Matilda.

Florence was trembling with anger and shouted hysterically.

The nurse saw this scene. She went to the doctor and said the new patient had a relapse.

The doctor immediately ran into the ward with four

nurses.

Seeing this, Florence shouted, “What are you doing here? Get out! I don’t want to see you! I’m not sick. Get out!”

She disregarded all of Horace’s instructions to remain silent and calm.

The doctor adjusted his glasses, waved his hand to the nurses, and said, “Restrain her. We’ll give her a sedative.”

Florence shook her head and complained, “I’m not sick. I don’t want an injection. Stay away from me!”

The four nurses did not listen to her. They quickly restrained her on the bed and tied her up with a special strap.

The doctor gave her a sedative then said, “All psychiatric patients say that.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Florence kept shaking her head while saying, “I’m not sick, I’m really not…”

Soon, she felt drowsy as the medicine took effect.

The doctor looked at the woman on the other bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He asked, “Jodie, are you sick?”

Jodie West turned her head and chuckled. She said, “I’m not! You are!”

The doctor shrugged and said, “See? Psychiatric patients always say they’re not sick.” With that, he left the ward with the nurses.

Jodie glanced at Florence. “What a l n t i c who’s always making a scenel

annoying!”

When Horace and Matilda returned home, a police car stopped in front of the door. Police got out of the car with two police dogs.

Matilda’s heart s i e d a beat. She grabbed Horace’s arm subconsciously and asked, “What should we do?”

“Calm down,” Horace replied: He shook his head before stepping forward. He asked the police, “What are you doing?”

The police looked at Horace suspiciously and inquired, “Are you the head of the household?”

“Yes,” Horace replied. “How could you casually enter my house?” he asked.

“Someone called the police, and what the housekeeper said doesn’t match the surveillance footage. We have a reason to suspect something bad might have happened to the missing elderly,” the police answered.

“Do you have a search warrant?” asked Horace,

The police glanced at him and said, “Of course.”

Seeing the police walk past them into the mansion with two police dogs, Matilda was anxious. She said, “Horace, we won’t be able to explain ourselves if they find Austin.”

Horace was also very nervous now, but he was still holding on to hope. “The basement is well hidden. They’ll never notice it.”

“Never notice what?” asked Stephanie.

Stephanie’s voice made Horace and Matilda freeze. They turned around and found Stephanie standing behind them.

Matilda widened her eyes. “W-Why are you here?” she asked.

Stephanie raised her brows. “Of course, I want to see for myself how both of you get ridiculed. Where did you hide Grandpa? If you tell me, I’ll drop the case. Otherwise, I’ll sue you for false impriso
