NovelOnlineChapter 1781 Back then, Marvin agreed to take in Luna and even promised he would take good care of her. Even though the vintage necklace was not extravagantly expensive, it was still worth at least a few hundred thousand dollars. In other words, it was more than enough to pay for Luna's room and board. He should not have made her stay in an attic! ‘That b*stard! He really has crossed the line this time," thought Emily angrily. She was going to interrogate the hell out of him when he cback.
Lilin suddenly pulled Melinda’s hand. "Mommy, | need to pee." Melinda looked around the small room. There was no ensuite bathroom, so she led her out of the room.
It was then she realized the door was locked from the outside.

'What's the meaning of this?' Melinda turned to Emily anxiously. "Emily, we're locked inside!" Emily snapped out of her thoughts, put down the notebook, and turned the door handle. Her face darkened when she realized they were indeed locked inside.
"Mommy, Miss Emily, what's going on? Why would that girl lock US in?" asked Lilin.
Emily did not understand either. She exchanged glances with Melinda. "I think she doesn't want US to see her father." Melinda thought that was the reason too. She nodded and said, ' Let's call for help." Emily took out her phone, but to her horror, there was no signal at all! After locking the guests inside the attic, Sherlyn toyed with the key in her hand while happily going downstairs to wait for the food delivery. a The mansion was four stories high, and both Marvin's bedroom and study were on the second floor. He would not go up to the fourth floor unless necessary. Thus, even if Emily and Melinda pounded on the door or shouted, he would not be able to hear it.
She was not worried about them calling the cops either because she had blocked all signals from going up to the fourth floor. She had bought the signal blocker previously to use against Corinne.
All she needed to do then was to plate the pork roast, wait for Marvin to chome, and make up skind of excuse to get him out of the house again so she and Liliilana could go upstairs to deal with Emily and Melinda.
After she got downstairs, Sherlyn texted her mother, urging her to chquickly.
Ding! The food delivery had arrived. Sherlyn brought the pork roast to the kitchen and put it in a casserole dish and into the oven so that it looked like she had made it.

As soon as she had done that, she heard the sound of the door opening from the foyer .She quickly threw the takeout containers into the trash can and walked out of the kitchen.
Marvin came in with his fishing equipment. He grew annoyed the moment he laid eyes on his useldss daughter " Why did you put on such thick makeup when you're just going to laze around at home? Are you trying to scareor something*
The smile faded from Sherlyn's face.
She pouted and said, "Dad, do you really have to scold me like that the moment yoy got home? Do you have any idea how | slave over the oven to make pork roast for you?" Marvin did not change his attitude. He looked at her sideways and asked," So is the pork roast ready? Serve it tonow. | haven't had lunch, so I'm starving!" Sherlyn squeezed out a smile and said, "Sure, Dad. Take a seat. I'll serve the pork roast to you now. | can't wait for you to try my cooking!"
