Chapter 11

We had long since sold our old house.

Three years ago, Dad bought a seaside mansion in the suburbs with a beautiful view. The renovations were just completed last year.

This was my first time stepping into this house.

The decor was very nice, close to my dream home.

The driver started rambling again:

"Miss Olivia, why do you like living in such a high place by the sea? The view is nice, but you young people need to be careful driving. The coastal road has a lot of twists and turns, with cliffs on one side. You absolutely can't speed."

"I know, don't worry," I said.

While I was taking a bath, I heard the phone ringing outside.

I was too tired from the flight to move, so I ignored it.

But the person on the other end seemed very persistent, ringing for about ten minutes.

I had no choice but to get up and answer.
