Sharron stood up and said, "I'll come too."

Before the family knew it, they heard someone kicking in their front door. Immediately after, about a hundred men in army uniforms entered their villa and gathered in their living room. Sharron paled and hid behind Chester. "Wh-what are they doing here, honey? Why would they barge into our home?"

Chester felt intimidated. Still, he was the man of the house. So, he quickly calmed himself and soothed his wife, patting her hand and saying, "Stay calm. I'll ask them why they're here." Sharron nodded and said tremblingly, "Okay."

Chester patted her hand again before approaching one of the army men. "Excuse me, why did you barge into my home without warning? We've done nothing wrong, either. Don't you think you owe us an explanation?"

"Mr. Chester, do you honestly think the army would show up at your doorstep if no one in your family committed a crime?"

Chester heard Jim's deep voice before turning to look at him. The latter wore combat boots as he emerged from behind the army men.

"M-Master Jim?!" Chester was shocked when he saw Jim. A profound sense of fear and respect rose in the former's chest as he stammered, "P-Please be straight with me, Master Jim. What did my family do for the army to barge in here?"

Jim swept his imposing gaze across the living room and saw Eloise. He said, "Maybe you should ask her."

He stepped toward Eloise forebodingly and said, "I'll need you to come with us, Eloise."

Eloise's heart dropped as she staggered backward and hid behind her father. "Th-there must be a misunderstanding. I've been home for the past few weeks. I couldn't have committed any crimes. Wh-what makes you think you can arrest me?"

Although Chester might have been mad at his daughter for not living up to her potential, he still chose her side when something this big happened. "She's right, Master Jim. My daughter has been home and rarely leaves the house.

"She couldn't have done anything. You should check in with your superiors again to see if you have the wrong girl."

Even Sharron stepped forward to defend her daughter, "Eloise is a frail and delicate lady. What kind of crime could she have committed? I'm sure you've made a mistake."

At that moment, Jim assumed an imposing demeanor. "I'm telling you I'm taking her away. There is no negotiation."

Then, he glared daggers at Eloise. "Final warning, Eloise. I'll take you away by force if you don't cooperate."

Eloise felt intimidated by his glare. She began to tremble and hunch in fear. "Th-that's outrageous! How will I know what'll happen once you take me away? I refuse to cooperate! I-I'm not going anywhere!" "Pardon me, then." Jim strode toward her so quickly that it shocked her.

Immediately after, she tried to escape. Before she could put her thoughts into action, Jim grabbed and twisted her arms to her back, pinning her down.
