章 146: Dark Secret

We would be dead if Samantha caught us. I warned myself and did my best to hold myself still.

The footsteps came closer… and closer… and closer… When I thought it would dash straight at us, it finally stopped just in front of where we stood.

"Do you think you could fool me, huh?" Samantha snapped, her sharp voice filling the whole room.

I flinched. Terror sliced through me. Did she find out I trespassed in her mansion?

I clenched my fist and suppressed the growing fear inside me. My brain seemed frozen too but I forced myself to think of my next move in case she knew I'm hiding here.

If worse came to worst then I will need to fight, I thought to myself while taking a deep steadying breath.

Catherine stood beside me, her spine straight and frozen. She was doing her best to calm her breathing.
