Chapter 394

Pattie stepped back in fright. Her eyes were wide as dinner plates as she stared at Penny.

Penny wouldn’t lay a finger on her until the time was right, but she gave Pattie a forceful

shove, growling, “You’re nothing but trouble, Pattie. Keep staring, and I’ll gouge your eyes

out…”

Penny was cut off by a sudden cramp in her stomach. She warned Pattie to stay put or

she’d throw her sister off the balcony. Then she hurried into a nearby room to take care of

her urgent need.

The half-finished building didn’t even have balcony railings installed yet. It was all open

space, and one wrong move would send someone tumbling down below.

She didn’t have time to find a rope to tie Pattie up, but with Leo watching the only exit

downstairs, she wasn’t worried about her escaping.

As soon as Penny was gone, Layna motioned for Pattie to free her and remove the duct

tape over her mouth. Pattie obliged but accidentally hurt Layna in the process, earning her

a scowl and a sharp reprimand from her sister.

The knot was tight, so it took Pattie a while to untie it. The moment Layna was free, she

sprang to her feet. Without a second thought or a backward glance at Pattie, she bolted

for the stairs.

Penny, hearing the commotion, cursed and hurried to pull her pants back up, but in a few

seconds, the girls had already made it to the second floor.

Layna, weakened from hunger, tripped and fell in her haste. Pattie quickly helped her up,

but it was enough of a delay for Penny to catch up and grab hold of Pattie.

Seeing the ferocious look on Penny’s face, Layna didn’t hesitate to abandon P continue

running.

and

“Help me, Layna!” Pattie cried, but her plea fell on deaf ears. Penny furiously “You little

brat, you think you can escape? I’ll beat you to death!”

With a swift kick, Penny sent Pattie tumbling down the stairs. Pattie’s head was open as

she hit the bottom.

Leo, who had been sitting on the steps outside, heard the commotion and looked u in time

to see Layna sprinting out the door. He made a move to catch her but was stopped in his

tracks by the sight of Pattie, unconscious and bleeding on the ground. Penny was storming

downstairs, looking ready to kill.

Leo couldn’t care about Layna anymore, and immediately went inside to stop Penny.

Meanwhile, Layna had already dashed across the construction site, and disappeared into

the overgrown weeds on the other side.

Layna decided to leave Pattie there. She didn’t know why Pattie was there, but it didn’t

matter. If Pattie was in the hands of these people, she could have her mother’s love all to

herself. She never thought about calling the police to save Pattie.

Just as she was about to run again, a car approached. It was Herman and Anastasia, who

had been frantically searching for them.

Anastasia saw Layna on the side of the road and urgently told Herman, “Stop the car. It’s

Layna.”

As soon as the car stopped, Anastasia hurriedly got out: “Layna, Layna.”

“Mom.” Upon seeing Anastasia, Layna started crying: “Mom, you’re finally here.”

“Are you all right?” Anastasia checked all over Layna for any injuries. Apart from looking a

little disheveled, there were no external injuries.

Herman also got out of the car. Anastasia thought of Pattie and asked Layna: “Where’s

your sister Pattie? Have you seen Pattie?”

Layna replied, “I didn’t see her, Mom. I’m scared. I want to go home.”
