Chapter 1486

These neighbors had lived next to each other for a long time, and they were always eager to help one another out

when the situation called for it.

The moment they heard that burglars had entered Larry's house, many retired old men and women brought their

pots and pans and came hobbling over on their canes.

All of them surrounded the bodyguards.

No matter how skilled the bodyguards were, none of them dared to make a move on the innocent old folks.

Larry remained silent, not offering any explanation whatsoever. He simply stood at the side, watching to see what

would happen next.

The bodyguards tried explaining themselves, but the neighbors wouldn't have it.

The bodyguards had no choice but to retreat. They slowly exited the house.

To prevent them from charging into Larry's house again, many of the old folks continued keeping watch over the

bodyguards.

The bodyguards were helpless to do anything.

They could only call Noel.

The chief bodyguard briefly described the situation as he

broke out in a cold sweat. "There was no other way, Mr. Carter. This is a residential area, and it's filled with old folks.

If anything were to happen to them...”

Things would become tricky to handle.

Noel understood. He pondered for a moment before instructing, "Retreat for the time being."

He also asked them about the situation at Larry's house. " Did you manage to see Cecilia?"

The bodyguards shook their heads. "No, but we did see a phone that looked like it belonged to a lady. There was a

furry caterpillar accessory tied to it. It was placed atop a very tall cabinet, not somewhere one would usually place

a phone.”

It was precisely because of the phone that they wanted to barge into the house.

"Oh, yes," they went on, "There were signs of a struggle in the house. There were smashed shards of a ceramic

vase on the floor and some flowers on the ground that looked like they had been stepped on, but no one bothered

to clear them up."

They concluded with their instincts.

"Ms. Jarvis.Js probably in the house."

It was just that none of them were able to enter.

"Should we call the police?"

Noel's mind was in a mess. He didn't want to care about

Cecilia. Despite that, he couldn't stop himself from worrying about her. Even his tone had changed.

The bodyguards could sense Noel's anxiety, and subconsciously spoke in a gentler manner.

"It’s no use. We didn't see Ms. Jarvis. Even if we called the police, the people here would in turn accuse us of

trespassing private property."

Despite the Fulchers' power and influence, they couldn't pit themselves against ordinary citizens.

Noel's phone was on loudspeaker mode. Julian’s brows furrowed upon hearing the bodyguard's update.

They had passed by the last rest stop, and the Hughes' household was just a few hundred meters away.

He suddenly stopped the car, and glared at Noel. "What are you doing just sitting there?!"

Noel looked up, panic in his eyes. He seemed to know what he should be doing, but at the same time, felt so

confused.

Dazed, he said, "So... Cecilia called and texted me because something happened to her, and she needed help..."

"Of course!" Julian yelled.

He never realized how foolish Noel actually was. Why was this man so slow on the uptake at such a critical

moment?!

"Find another car and turn back!" Julian paused for a moment and amended his words. "No! Find a car and go to

the airport."

Noel could take any mode of transportation. It would be faster if he returned on a plane. Given Cecilia's plight right

now, every minute mattered.

"Diana needs me too, so I won't be able to help you with Cecilia. But you must head back."

Noel wanted to say something more, but Julian had already kicked him out of the car.

"Don't leave any regrets!"

Julian drove off after yelling that to Noel.

He didn’t give Noel any chance to react. Noel was worried about Julian, but he knew that right now, Cecilia needed

him.
