As Sophie ascended the stairs to the third floor, intending to explore what was happening, a voice came from behind.
"Sophie!"
Matilda, who had left while holding the child, came back in through the doorway. She strode in, speaking as she walked.
"What are you up to? Why aren't you leaving? Could it be that you want to steal something?"
"I heard noises upstairs. What kind of undisclosed secret is hidden on this third floor of yours?"
Matilda also went upstairs. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be any secrets?"
She reached the third floor and opened the attic door.
As the door opened, Anabel wanted to rush outside.
"Mommy!" She heard her mommy's voice. Mommy had come back to save her!
However, Matilda swiftly grabbed Anabel. She noticed that Anabel's eyes were swollen from crying. If Sophie were to see this, it would definitely raise suspicions.
Not wanting Sophie to see, Matilda immediately lifted Anabel and, despite her struggles, firmly held down Anabel's head.
"My son and Anabel were playing hide-and-seek just now. It seems Anabel accidentally locked herself in on the third floor."
After saying this, Matilda hurriedly left while carrying Anabel.
Anabel couldn't make any sound. Her strength was inferior to Matilda's, so she could only be carried away by her.
So, it was Anabel who knocked on the door just now?
Didn't ‘Jake' say that Anabel went out with her grandmother? Then why is she locked in on the third floor while playing hide-and-seek?
Is it really a game of hide-and-seek, or is someone deliberately mistreating this child by locking her up?
Anabel cannot speak, unable to call for help, so she can only make some noises.
If Matilda hadn't returned just now, how long would Anabel have been locked up?
Isn't Matilda the child's mother? Jake and Anabel are also siblings. According to Hurley's description, their relationship seems good. So why would someone lock her up?
Sophie feels like everything is problematic. Even though it's not her concern, thinking about Anabel's obedient demeanor, she must get to the bottom of this and cannot allow Matilda to mistreat the child.
Sophie chased after them, but Matilda had already driven away.
In the car, Matilda's face was full of concern. "Stephen, are you okay?"
Stephen shook his head. "Don't worry, Mommy, I know what to do!"
With Anabel present, they couldn't speak too much.
Matilda was aware of Stephen returning to the country. She was at the Walton family's house, and she knew about it, so she came to pick up the children.
On the way here, she heard about Jake falling down the stairs. After Sophie left, Stephen also called Matilda and told her about it. Matilda said she would arrive soon.
However, no one expected Sophie to leave and then return. So Matilda asked Stephen to figure out a way to make this woman leave for good, even suggesting that Stephen should make it so that she wouldn't dare to stay, and if possible, even make him fall down the stairs directly.
Initially, Stephen was obviously unwilling, but Matilda said that everything was for his own good. With Jake injured now, Hurley must be very worried and would be staying at the hospital.
If Stephen also got injured, Hurley would definitely come to see him, and grandmother Esther wouldn't force him out of the country again.
Stephen thought it made sense, so he purposely pretended to slip, claiming that Sophie pushed him, causing him to fall.
Jake was completely unprepared, but Stephen had carefully chosen his position, so while Jake fainted on the spot, Stephen came out unharmed.
With Anabel present, Matilda still had to maintain a facade, "Sweetie, don't worry. If Sophie dares to push you, Mommy will definitely help you seek justice!"
This little brat is quite cunning. Despite being so young, she's sharp and astute, just like Jake. You have to be cautious around them.
"Sophie!"
