She either lifted the mattress or moved the fridge aside. Finally, she called Wade, who was outside, into the room.
I was confused and couldn't figure out her intention, but at least I knew she was up to no good.
Sure enough, after quite a while, she came out of the room with a serious expression.
"Go get me a piece of paper."
She instructed Wade to fetch a piece of paper, and during the wait, she looked me up and down, making my scalp tingle.
Everyone would feel scared when being stared at by a fierce-looking old woman, especially when her eyes were flashing with malice.
After Wade brought the paper, she started writing something on it. Wade stood by and didn't dare to utter a word, and the whole room fell into silence.
When she looked up, she handed me the piece of paper with the words "Compensation of 1,609,948.6 dollars" written on it.
I shook the paper at Wade, clearly saying to him, "What is this about?"
However, Sophia saw my action as seeking help from Wade, and she immediately pulled him behind her.
Her eyes flickered as she said righteously, "This is what you should give Wade."
What the hell?
