Chapter 173 - 173. Edward

Currently Elise, Elena, Brian and Dean are gathered in the family room. They just finished dinner. And now sitting together while playing with Dean. The baby is still not sleepy and wants to play since earlier. Maybe it was because Elena was beside him that Dean wanted to play with her. Or maybe Dean couldn't sleep because he was afraid that Elena would abandon him.

Brian sat on the sofa with the cell phone in his hand. He was checking incoming emails from his cell phone. Elise sat in another chair with a packet of snacks on her lap. The woman is watching a drama that is being shown on television. Meanwhile, Elena was playing on the carpet with Dean in front of them. Dean, the little baby who is now lying on the Playmat. The baby has been so enthusiastic about moving his hands and feet while occasionally trying to reach the toy hanging above the Playmat.

"Brian, I'm planning to take Elena and Dean shopping tomorrow." Said Elise, who turned her gaze from the television to Brian. She remembered the conversation this afternoon with elena. They both want to buy some toys and clothes for Dean. The fast growing baby and how quickly Dean's body fat makes some of his clothes difficult to put on again. So, Elise and Elena planned to go shopping together tomorrow.

Elise's words made Brian turn his head.

"Tomorrow you want to go shopping?"

"Yes, right Elena?" Elise turned to ask Elena for support. The woman nodded and continued to tease Dean's cheek with her finger.

"No. You can't go, Elise." Brian remembered the warning David had told him. About the culprit who might try to harm Elise again. Brian turned and looked at Elena.

"You too elena. You can't go." Elena has the same face as Elise. What if the criminal mistook Elena for Elise and tried to kill her. Not! Brian won't let that happen. So, both Elise and Elena, the two are prohibited from leaving the house for the time being.

"Why?" Asked Elise and Elena together. The two of them were now looking at Brian questioningly. They are ready to protest Brian together.

"Do you remember what the police officer who interrogated you said about Mommy's accident?" Brian's question made Elise frown. Elise still couldn't understand why Brian was asking that at this point.

Seeing the look on Elise's dazed face, Brian continued his explanation.

"David, the police officer who yesterday interrogated you, said this afternoon that what happened to Mommy was not an accident. The person who drove the car from the start was planning to kill you."

Brian's last words scared Elise or Elena a little.

"So it wasn't an accident?" Elise asked still in disbelief. If it was indeed an attempted murder then right now her life was in danger. Because the perpetrator has not been arrested and is free to roam out there. And there is a possibility that the perpetrator will try to kill her again.

"Yes, the police have confirmed that this case has turned into murder. Because of the CCTV footage they got."

"Then, do they already know who the perpetrator of the recording is?"

"No, they haven't succeeded. Because the perpetrator's car window is so dark they can't see or find out who his identity is."

"So, until now the police are still investigating it?"

"Yes, therefore, you must not leave the house before the perpetrator is caught." Brian said the final and turned to Elena while saying, "Because you have the same face as Elise, so you also shouldn't go out of the house first."

"Yes, I understand." Elena replied. Even though she was still shocked and shocked by the news Brian said, Elena understood that the man was worried and anxious about her and Elise's safety.

"But why did that person want to kill Elise?" Elena asked with a frown.

"I don't know either. The police are still investigating the case." After that they fell silent with their own thoughts. Until finally Brian said again. "So, you can't go out before the culprit is caught. And I'll hire a few bodyguards to guard the mansion."

Elise and Elena nodded obediently. The two of them wouldn't go out for their own safety.

....

An old, shabby and dirty car was parked not far from the mansion gate. A man sitting behind the wheel with his eyes continued to observe the Mansion gate. He is the man who has hit Rena. The man named Edward was looking for a way to get into Brian's Mansion. As expected, the police were looking for his whereabouts and Elise never left the Mansion. So, let him enter and kill her on the spot. But, Edward must devise a plan so that his action can succeed and succeed in killing Elise.

So, since a few hours ago he had parked his rental car there to observe the state of Brian's Mansion. The man had added several bodyguards to guard the Mansion. So, Edward had to think harder so that he would not be caught before carrying out the action.

But after waiting there for a long time. Edward still hasn't figured out how to get him into the Mansion without getting caught.

It was getting late, Edward's stomach had started to sound. So he started the engine and turned around. He would find food and fill his stomach first then come back here and keep looking for ideas or ways so he can enter Brian's Mansion.

A few dozen meters away, Edward saw a white van with the words 'Call us, and we help you' parked on the side of the road. A man is standing with the hood open. It looks like the man's car is breaking down. Edward tried to ignore it, but a second later he was curious after reading the writing on the body of the car. As if that man was one of the people working as a repairman.

So, Edward stopped his car near it. Then come down and come to the poor man.

"Hello, did your car break down? Let me take a look, maybe I can help you?" Edward asked pretending to be friendly.
