Chapter 39: Chapter 39

The following day, while I was busy at work, I received a call from the chairman of our barangay. I've been contributing to my monthly obligation, and as per their request, I increased the monthly amount to expedite the settlement of the damage caused by the fire.

Hello Ellie, the residents want to revoke the contract they made after the results of the investigation regarding the fire from your property came out.

"I don't understand," I said, feeling a bit confused about what Captain Isaac had mentioned.

According to the DFPS, the fire did not originate from the wires on your ceiling, as you mentioned. It was deliberately set on fire using gasoline, starting from behind your property.the captain explained to me.

"What?!" I was taken aback, wondering who could possibly do something like this to our house.

My mother had never had any enemies, and she rarely had time for friends due to her unwavering dedication to taking care of me since I was young.
