The Rogers siblings hugged their arms and ordered the bodyguards, “Bring them to the police.” The bodyguards replied, “Yes.”
Carter added, “Find someone to clean up the place.”
The bodyguards agreed and brought the three men away. At that moment, Carter spoke up again. “And that box. Bring it with you and have the police check who they are and why they came here.”
Once the bodyguards were gone, the siblings looked at each other and grinned happily. Blake asked, “Should we tell Godmother?”
Carter thought about it and said, “She would be worried if she heard about this.” Then, Terry suggested, “Tell Eugene?”
Carter said, “He might be with Godmother right now.”
Blake suggested, “Text him.” The three children nodded, agreeing with each other. Afterward, Carter texted Eugene. ‘Are you at Godmother’s home?’
On the other hand, Eugene had just gotten inside his car when he received the text. Alex asked that they meet up at the Royal Palace. He didn’t specify why, but Eugene guessed that the DNA test results between Alex and Jewel might be out.
However, this was the first time the Rogers siblings texted him. He used his long, nimble fingers to type a reply. ‘No, I’m not. Why? Another text returned soon. ‘Come over. A bad guy came to my house. Don’t tell Godmother. She will be worried.”
Looking at the short text, Eugene felt his hairs stand on its ends and quickly replied, ‘I’ll be there soon. Find somewhere to hide.”
Afterward, he turned on the engine and sped toward Cardinal Tower. Since the siblings didn’t explain much, Eugene thought the bad guys were still there.
That realization made him feel so anxious that he wanted to drive his car like a jet, but when he arrived at Cardinal Tower and entered their home, he saw the messy scene and felt his head buzzing.
The clumped lime powder was spread on the ground, and there were also traces of red among them, blood from the blade cuts. The walls were filled with bumps from the spiraling blades and that huge net.
Eugene heard from Olivia that the Rogers siblings’ home was boobytrapped, and it seemed like they used it to capture the bad guys.
Flustered, he looked at the three unharmed children. His heart seemed to be finally beating again, and he drew a long breath. He approached the three children and squatted to pull them into his arms.
Feeling like he had just gotten the biggest scare of his life, he spoke thankfully, “I’m so glad you’re safe.”
The siblings looked at each other and felt inexplicably warm. It seemed like their father was really worried about them and was even trembling while hugging them. A long while later, Eugene released them. “Were you scared?”
The three children shook their heads. Although they were fine, Eugene still felt worried. “Who was it? Why did you let them inside the house?”
Carter explained, “At first, it was just one delivery guy. He said the parcel was from Muse Peninsula, and I thought Godmother had bought us something-
Before he could finish, Eugene cut him off. “That won’t happen. If we have something for you, we will personally bring it to you and won’t use a delivery service. Don’t open the door in any similar situations, especially at night.”
Watching Eugene’s nervous behavior, Carter smiled. “Terry also said Godmother wouldn’t give us anything through delivery services, but we still decided to catch them. So, we poured a tub of adhesive onto the floor, sticking them to the floor. Then, we activated the trap and successfully caught them.
Eugene frowned. “Them? How many were there?”
