Ch. 366..370: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 366-370

Chapter 366 Go Home Now

Yes!" Liam immediately called Peter.

"Don't worry, Peter is a famous doctor. He can treat Miss Gale," he said to Sawyer.

Sawyer nodded and supported Wendy.

Seeing that Wendy's face was covered in sweat, she thought that she was suffering from stomach pain, and immediately felt sorry about her.

"It's fine. The doctor will be here soon. Don't be afraid!"

He looked at Joseph and said, "Help her to rest on the sofa."

Joseph was slow to respond. In fact, he had a strange feeling.

Just now, she was fine. Why did she suddenly become so strange?

However, Wendy was his cousin.

Now that she was in such pain. And the sweat on her face seemed to show that she was really in pain.

Joseph immediately stood up and supported Wendy.

"Don't panic. Let's go to the sofa to rest first. The doctor will arrive soon."

How could Wendy not panic?

Peter's medical skills were so good. When he came over and casually drew some blood for examination, he would know that she was not poisoned.

What should she do? What else could she do now?

With Joseph's help, Wendy stood up and slowly walked towards the sofa in the parlor.

After walking for more than ten steps, she suddenly trembled and grabbed Sawyer's wrist.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I... I want to leave this place! Someone is trying to hurt me here! I want to leave. I want to leave immediately!"

"Miss Gale, why would someone want to hurt you here?" Liam disliked this woman the most.

Although her face was now covered in sweat, Liam subconsciously felt that this woman was acting again.

As for why she had to act, Liam still hadn't figured it out.

Anyway, he thought that she was acting.

Could it be that she wanted to do harm to Emily again?

"Miss Emily, don't go over there. It's best for you not to touch her."

Liam pulled Emily behind him and reminded her.

Emily smiled at him and nodded, "Don't worry. I won't give her any chance to slander me."

Emily had already suffered a loss once. Didn't she know how to protect herself?

However, the current Emily was not thinking about slandering.

Wendy was still making trouble and insisted on leaving.

Hunter was indifferent, "Since you don't want Peter to check, then you can go to the hospital."

He said, "Ewan, prepare the car."

"Yes!"

Outside the door, Ewan immediately ordered someone to prepare the car.

Hunter looked at Sawyer expressionlessly.

"Patriarch Gale probably misunderstood just now. I have no unusual relationship with Wendy."

Hunter could be seen as an extremely slick person in the business world.

He could also understand what Sawyer had said just now.

"I promised a deceased elder to take good care of Wendy. That's why I let Wendy stay here."

"As for other things, I'm sorry to make Patriarch Gale think too much. Wendy is

not my girlfriend, and we won't have such a relationship in the future."

Wendy's heart ached.

Hunter was actually able to say such words coldly!

They have lived together for more than two months.

Who didn't know that she was Young Master Hunter's woman?

If she wasn't his girlfriend, why would they live together?

Hunter's words were too excessive!

Was he angry because her current performance?

"Hunter, I'm sorry. I... I'll explain it to you."

She still believed that Hunter would say such words only because he was angry.

"Grandpa, I'm really uncomfortable. Take me to the hospital first."

Sawyer looked at Hunter whose gaze was calm. There were no waves in his eyes.

Joseph also looked at him.

They were all men, so he naturally knew clearly.

Hunter's words were true. He did not like Wendy at all.

Originally, they thought that the Gale family and the Jackson family would be connected by marriage, which was beneficial for both families.

But now, it seemed that there was no chance.

Hunter had no interest in Wendy at all.

"Grandpa, get in the car first," Joseph reminded.

Sawyer was also a little disappointed. He really liked this young man.

Joseph opened the door of the car. Sawyer and Wendy got in the car together.

Just as Joseph was about to head to the front, Emily suddenly chased after him and whispered something to him.

Joseph nodded.

Emily said something again. Joseph still nodded. After that, he got in the car.

The car blocked out so much noise. Wendy could clearly see them talking, but she didn't hear a single word.

After Joseph got in the car, the driver immediately drove the car away.

Ewan also drove another car and followed them personally.

Just as the car drove out of WongRiver Pavilion, Wendy couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, what did Emily tell you just now?"

She was very uneasy! Very uneasy!

Although in such a short period of time, Emily could not say too many things.

However, she was just uneasy.

"Nothing. She just said that you have a bad temper. Let me take care of you." Joseph laughed.

"Really...

nothing else?" Wendy stared at his side face, paying close attention to

his expression.

"What else?"

Joseph was a little surprised when he heard her calm tone. He turned around and looked at her.

"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"

Sawyer also stared at Wendy's sweaty face and asked in surprise, "Wendy, does it still hurt now?"

"Yes."

Wendy covered her stomach. Although she heaved a sigh of relief, she was still a little uneasy.

"Grandpa, I... I want to go back to City L. Grandpa, let's go back now."

"Why do you want to leave again?"

Sawyer was a little confused. Previously, he said that he wanted to go back, but

this girl was unwilling and said that she wanted to stay for another two days.noveldrama

Now, why did she change her mind?

"Grandpa, I just want to go back. Let's go back now, okay?"

"You have to go to the hospital first." Sawyer was worried about her.

"No... No need. We just go back now! I'll be fine when I get home!"

Wendy grabbed his arm and said, "Grandpa, let's go home now, okay?"

It wouldn't be difficult for Sawyer to go back.

The reason why he came to Bentson City was to bring his granddaughter home.

But now ... a small face and a slender figure would always flash through his mind.

That little girl, Emily.

Wendy suddenly said that they went home now. Why did he feel like his heart was being torn apart?

He also wanted to see that little girl. Even if he went back home now, he had to at least make an appointment with her and let her go to City L to find him.

It was not that she would go whenever she was free, but that she must go there.

If he didn't talk to Emily, he was reluctant to leave.

"Grandpa, what exactly happened to you? Don't tell me that you came here just to bring me back?"

The more Sawyer refused to agree with her, the more uneasy Wendy became. What exactly was he thinking? It was too strange!

"Grandpa..."

"Alright."

Sawyer looked helpless and looked at Joseph in the front. He said, "Then, let's go

back to City L."00000

Chapter 367 Why Is That A Taboo for Him

Emily stood in the courtyard and watched the car leave.

Her beautiful eyes were gradually covered with a complicated aura.

Hunter returned to the parlor, but saw that Emily was still looking in the direction of the gate of WongRiver Pavilion, unable to regain her senses for a long time.

He narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, "You want to be lazy?"

Emily suddenly regained her senses and took a deep look in the direction of the gate.

There, the car was no longer visible.

Only then did she bite her lower lip and turn around to follow Hunter.

Hunter continued to have breakfast. After Hunter sat down, she still stood behind him.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't let you have breakfast?"

Maid? She really acted very well!

But who asked her to be a maid?

Emily looked at him. Did he mean to let her sit down to have breakfast?

She was helpless. Whatever she did was wrong.

However, Grandpa Gale left. She heaved a sigh of relief.

She didn't want Grandpa Gale to know about her complex relationship with Hunter.

If Grandpa Gale knew, he would probably be disappointed in her, right? She sat down beside Hunter, and the servant immediately brought her breakfast. During the breakfast time, Emily did not say a word and silently finished her food. When Hunter put down his chopsticks, she immediately put her chopsticks down and stood up.

"Young Master Hunter, I'll send you out."

"Didn't I say I was going out?"

His words caused Emily to panic.

He would not go out? Then didn't he want to stay?

Why did he stay?

"Follow me."

This sentence made Emily's entire body stiffen, and her legs began to be weak again.

There was probably only one man in the world who could frighten a woman to the point of weakening her legs. That was Young Master Hunter.

Early in the morning, what was she going to do with him?

She trembled as she walked behind him. When she entered the room, every cell in her body was shouting for help!

Hunter walked to the table. Emily stopped five steps away from him and did not dare to go over.

"Afraid of me?"

He didn't turn around.

Emily didn't know how to answer this question. In fact, there was no need to

answer.

"When is the exam?"

“Exam?” Hunter suddenly changed the topic. It took Emily a few seconds before figuring out what he was talking about.

"A month later," She said immediately.

"If your score of each class is less than 90, the duration of the agreement will be doubled."

Hunter picked up his computer bag and left.

His back was still as cold and handsome as ever.

He said he wouldn't go out!

Men's thoughts were like needles on the seabed, truly unfathomable.

Emily wanted to follow him and send him out. This was what a maid did.

However, Hunter seemed to dislike her, "Stay away from me, it's annoying!"

She immediately stopped. Her face was full of resentment.

Did he think she wanted to go with him? Wasn't it he who forced her to serve him?

He was really...

However, the score of each subject had to be above ninety. Wouldn't it be too difficult for her, who often skipped class?

Emily exhaled. After Hunter left, she was about to return to her room.

Suddenly, she saw several books piled up on Hunter's table.

Why was she so familiar with these books?

Emily walked over and picked up one of the books.

Wasn't it their book for this semester?

On his desk, how could there be her books for this semester?

Emily picked it up and flipped it over, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Who took these notes?

In each book, what was the point, and where to pay attention during the exam, were all marked out.noveldrama

Although the handwriting wasn't very good looking, Emily felt it became more and more familiar.

This was... Lois's writing!

Emily suddenly turned around and went down the stairs with the book.

At the front of the parlor, Maybach drove out of the courtyard and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He had gone.

He actually had Lois took notes on the book for her, and then sent the book over!

Lois went to school far more frequently than her.

Lois was the monitor. So no matter how busy she was, she would attend every class.

Lois's notes were much better than hers.

She just didn't understand why Hunter did this.

Holding the book in her arms and looking at the empty courtyard gate, Emily felt a little sad.

She had a whole bunch of feelings wrapped up in one.

Not knowing how long she looked, Emily turned around and went upstairs.

As soon as she entered, she received a phone call from Joe, "Emily, where did you go today?"

"I ... " Emily was shocked for a moment before she said, "I'm at my friend's home. Joe, what are you looking for me for? Did you find anything?"

"Indeed, there is no Kate's information in the system of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection Station of that airport."

After Joe received her message, he started searching through several databases.

However, up to now, there was no news of Kate.

"You said that Kate did not go abroad. Now it seems that it is true. Emily, there must be some powerful computer experts on their side. Otherwise, the information

I found earlier would not be inaccurate."

"Okay." Emily nodded.

Behind those people, there must be a very powerful computer expert.

They could even break into the hospital's database and alter all the DNA records

left behind by the Matriarch Jackson in the hospital.

If he wasn't an expert, he definitely wouldn't be able to do this.

"Joe, Wendy became the granddaughter of the Gale family in City L for no reason.

Help me find out what Kate did behind my father's back."

She originally wanted to ask, but Wendy was there.

Actually, Emily already had a premonition that some things might have something to do with her.

But she couldn't investigate it now. She couldn't do anything.

Back then, Joe was already in danger from investigating her grandmother.

Now, before the situation became clear, she didn't dare to let Joe get involved.

Just now, when Sawyer and Joseph left, she asked for Joseph's phone number. Let her investigate this matter herself.

However, City L was too far away from here, and Hunter would probably not let

her leave for the time being.

It was not the time to investigate.

She had been reading all morning in her room. After lunch, she was inexplicably wanted to go out for a walk.

She did not want to walk in WongRiver Pavilion, but in the Jackson family's backyard.

Hunter had no intention of imprisoning her in the Wong River Pavilion.

She left the main entrance of the pavilion by herself and drove the sightseeing bus to the Jackson family's backyard.

The sightseeing bus stopped on the lake, which had been turned into a garden.

Rockery, flowers, and trees.

There was no lake. And that road also disappeared.

The place where she was standing was the place where her grandmother had an

accident.

There was originally a road here. Not far from the road, there was originally a

lake.

Why did Sawyer immediately fill up the lake?

He was a person who had experienced a lot. Couldn't he face the death of

Matriarch Jackson?

Why was Matriarch's death a taboo for him?

Even the lake was filled!

Chapter 368 What Secrets Were Hidden at the Bottom of the Lake

Emily squatted on the ground. She remembered clearly that the accident had occurred here.

At that time, Matriarch's wheelchair suddenly slid towards the lake.

So what was hidden here?

Just as Emily was about to take a step forward, her shoes were suddenly pulled off by something.

But when she turned around, she couldn't see anything.

Her shoes were pulled again. It was clear that a force was pulling at her shoes.

Emily was shocked. She looked down and saw a few ornaments of black stones on the hem of her shoes.

How could they be pulled by an invisible force?

No, they seemed to be entangled by a wire.

Emily squatted down again and gently untied the wire.

It was almost transparent. If one didn't look at it carefully, he wouldn't be able to see it at all.

"Milady?" A maid called gently in front.

Emily looked up and found that it was one of the maids who had served for the matriarch of the Jackson family.

However, there were too many servants in the Jackson's, and they were often transferred among various courtyards.

She had served for the matriarch for a short while before being transferred away. Therefore, Emily didn't have a deep impression of her.

"I am no longer the lady of the Jackson family. You shouldn't call me by that later," Emily said indifferently.

The maid was dumbfound for a second. Then, she apologized in a hurry, "Sorry, M... Miss Emily, I didn't meant it!"

"Don't worry. It's okay. Do I look terrifying?" Emily smiled.

Seeing her nice smile, the little maid finally calmed down. "Miss Emily, what are you doing?" She walked over.

"My shoes got stuck." Emily was still working on the wire.

The maid smiled when she saw what was on her shoes.

"You've been entangled by the water plant. It has dried up."

She squatted down and helped Emily get rid of the plant.

"They used to grow in the lake. But after the land reclamation from the lake, it's rare to see them."

"Water plant?" Emily frowned and a thought flashed through her mind.

She grabbed the maid's hand and said anxiously, "Do you mean that the lake was full of this kind of water plants? Transparent water plants?"

"They're not transparent, but if there's sunlight and water, they look transparent." The maid did not know why her expression suddenly became so strange.

She picked up the dried plant and handed it to Emily.

"When they wither and dry up, they will have color. Then, we can see them easily."

Emily got the plant and pulled it. She didn't expect that it was hard to break it even if it was thin.

"Are you saying that if it's wet, you won't be able to see it?"

Emily became a little breathless. Back then, Matriarch's wheelchair slid into the lake. It was clearly a slide, not a roll!

The wheels didn't roll at all!

Slide ... If it was a slide, shouldn't it be pulled by an external force?

However, she didn't see anything at that time, so she didn't think that Matriarch's wheelchair was dragged into the bottom of the lake.

It was all because she didn't see it.

But what if the rope was transparent?

"Miss Emily, what are you thinking?"

As Emily's expression became more and more serious, the little maid was getting uneasy.

"Miss Emily, did I say something wrong?"

"Is there a lot of such water plants at the bottom of the lake?" Emily clenched her wrist tightly.

Although the maid was anxious, she still nodded. "Yes... there are quite a few. They grow fast, and they are cleaned up once a year."

She had also cleaned up the water plants, so she knew it very well.

However, they needn't be cleaned up anymore due to the land reclamation, she was transferred away from here.

Emily's expression seemed to more serious. The little maid felt that she had said something wrong and did not dare to speak again.

"I... Miss Emily, I have something urgent. I... I'll .......”

"You've been here as a maid before?" Emily grabbed her.

The maid was startled by her. “I, I am ..."

"Tell me, did Patriarch send anyone to investigate what happened in the lake after Matriarch's accident?"

"This..."

"Where's Matriarch's wheelchair? Has it been found?" Emily grabbed her tightly.

The maid's arm hurt, but she shook her head after thinking for a while. "I don't know. I was transferred to other places after the land reclamation."

"Miss Emily, I really have something urgent. I have to go!"

The more the maid thought about it, the more she felt it strange.

Matriarch's death was announced as an accident.

However, it's said that Emily was the only one who witnessed the accident.

Now, everyone thought that it had passed, but Emily still kept mentioning it.

The maids all regretted greeting her and found an excuse to leave.

Emily was left alone, looking at the newly-planted flowers and trees in front of her. She felt more disappointed.

She squatted down and followed the dried plants.

She found the meadow where the water plants had grown.

The meadow was newly planted. Probably some of the water plants were turned

over when the land was reclaimed.

But now, they had already withered and dried up.

If Matriarch's wheelchair had been wrapped with this kind of water plants...

According the maid, they were transparent when they were wet in the sun. Therefore, she couldn't see them clearly in a hurry.

In that case, the reason why Matriarch's wheelchair slid into the lake properly could be found!

But why did Patriarch ask someone fill up the lake without checking?

Why... She suddenly feel a chill in her heart.

What secrets were hidden at the bottom of the lake?

As she touched the meadow, Emily's fingers continued to tremble.

"What are you doing now?" Suddenly, a voice filled with majesty sounded not far away.

Emily was shocked. Turning around, she saw three figures walking towards her.

"Who let you in?" The Mu Clan's Old Master quickly walked up to her and his expression darkened.noveldrama

The butler followed behind him and immediately explained, "It was Young Master Finley who brought her back."

The butler was not only the housekeeper of the main house, he also supervised all matters of the Jackson family.

He had intended to report it to Patriarch, but he was not here in the past two days. He only came back this morning, so that the butler had not had time to report it.

"Why did Hunter bring her back?" Patriarch looked at Emily with an unfriendly looking.

Emily stood up and looked at him indifferently.

Since he did not like her, she did not need to curry favor with him.

She was never that kind of people.

"It ... " The butler didn't know why Young Master Hunter brought Emily back.

Moreover, he couldn't stick his nose into other people's business, either. Patriarch said angrily, "Kick her out!"☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 369 You Are Too Presumptuous

"She was brought back by Young Master Hunter. I have no rights to ask her out."

The butler looked at the old man and whispered, "Shouldn't we inform Young Master Hunter first and see what he'll say?"

"Yes, Grandpa. Why don't you ask Hunter first?"

A young man walked up from their back.

He was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, handsome and outgoing. He looked at Emily with a bright smile.

"Are you the Emily who would have been my sister-in-law?"

He smiled and ignored his grandfather's displeasure at all.

"Hello, we met before. Oh, no, I met you before. But now, your face is a little strange to me."

Emily knew what he meant.

She used to be ugly, because she drew freckles on her face before.

She thought that he should be Porter of the Jackson family.

She had saw him before, but had never greeted him face to face, so she was a little unfamiliar with him.

"I'm Emily," She said calmly, not admitting any other identity.

Porter stared at her with a big smile.

"You're pretty now! I guess Hunter broke off the engagement with you because he was frightened by your ugly face."

"And he brought you back because he regretted after seeing your real face."

He looked at Patriarch with a naughty smile. “Grandpa, don't you think so?"

The old man snorted and ignored him.

The butler thought Porter didn't know how to read other people's mind and felt a little helpless..

Patriarch was angry and not in a mood to make a joke.

Porter didn't get any reply from his grandfather, so he coughed to cover his embarrassment and turned to Emily.

"Since Hunter brought you back, you should go back to the WongRiver Pavilion and wait there for him."

Emily became grateful to Porter.

She knew that he was giving her a chance to get away from Patriarch, so as not to be kicked out.

However, she did not intend to avoid it today.

"I will go back to the WongRiver Pavilion, but I still have some questions. I want to ask Patriarch."

Nobody spoke. It became serious and solemn.

The butler wanted to say something, but Emily only stared at Patriarch. She

seemed to insist to get a reply from him.

Porter had given her an opportunity to leave.

However, she didn't seize it, but provoke him in the face.

She was really bold.

"I just want to ask you. Why didn't you investigate thoroughly the accident with the matriarch? Instead, you immediately asked people to fill up this lake that may contain evidence?"

Emily's question shocked Porter and the butler like a bolt out of the blue.

She was too bold!

How dare she mention the matriarch's accident!

The matriarch's accident was a taboo in this family.

More than a month had passed, and no one dared to mention it!

And she was the prime suspect when Matriarch had an accident!

She should have avoided the topic. How dare she take the initiative to mention it? Was she too bold, or stupid?

It was definitely not a good thing for her to provoke Patriarch!

Patriarch's expression was frozen-cold. Nobody dare to look directly at him now.

Especially when he narrowed his eyes, the coldness in his eyes made people want to avoid him subconsciously.

Emily clenched her fists tightly. Actually, she was a little scared.

He and Hunter were of the same kind of people. Hunter's temperament would also keep people stay away.

He was the one who brought Hunter up, so he definitely had the same temperament.

Emily was nervous in her heart. However, her doubts about her grandmother's "accident" and her determination to reveal the truth made her brave.

"Patriarch, I was the eyewitness to the accident at that time. I suspect that there is something hidden at the bottom of the lake."noveldrama

"You ..." Porter wanted to stop her, but suddenly, he felt that he could not interfere in them.

He had thought that Emily was just beautiful.

He hadn't expected that she was not all that she seemed. She behaved more like Hunter.

He was astonished at her subconscious determination and domination.

Her domineering temperament was in contrast to her delicate appearance.

"What do you want to say?" Patriarch said in a deep voice, but made people around feel stressful.

Emily pursed her lower lip. It was impossible for her to retreat now.

"I want to dig up this piece of soil and discover the secrets at the bottom of the lake."

When the old butler heard this, he immediately stopped her. "Miss Emily, you don't have the rights to do that."

"No, I have! It has affected my reputation!"

Emily stared at Patriarch's eyes all the time. Even if his gaze became even colder and more frightening, she did not have a bit of intention of retreating at all.

"Patriarch, as the only witness at that time, I have the right to suspect it."

Patriarch narrowed his eyes. "What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, then ..."

Emily took a deep breath and said with determination, "Then, I will call the police

and tell them that there is evidence to find the murderer at the bottom of the lake!"

"How dare you!" Patriarch's face darkened.

His expression frightened the old butler and Porter.

He and Hunter were the same. People would be frightened by their anger.

Did Emily know how serious it was?

If Patriarch was furious, everyone would suffer.

The old butler said in a hurry, "Miss Emily, what happened to Matriarch was an accident!"

"It wasn't an accident. I've already discovered how the murderer killed her." Emily did not want to compromise at all.

She met Patriarch's gaze and said in a deep voice, "If you don't agree, I will directly call the police and let the police handle this matter!"

"Miss Emily, you are too presumptuous!" the old butler immediately shouted.

It must be an accident.

If the news of the murder in the Jackson family was made public, their shares would drop drastically.

At that time, would she be able to bear the consequences?

"I know that it will have a direct impact on the Jackson Group."

It would affect the entire business community of the Bentson City.

She clenched her fists tightly, but she still refused to budge.

"However, we can't let the murder get away with the hook. You filled up the bottom

of the lake on the moment you realized that things weren't as simple as they

seemed, did you?"

"You're not a coward, but you are afraid that if things continue to be investigated, more people will get involved!"

She took a step forward, her words sonorous and forceful!

"Because you know that the murder is one of the Jackson family!"☐

Chapter 370 Who Will Be Killed Next Time

The old butler was scared to death by Emily's words.

This girl actually directly told Patriarch that the old lady's death was man-made,

and the murderer was in the Jackson Group.

Was she too bold?

Or was she a lunatic?

The old butler felt that she was the latter.

"Miss Emily..."

"Grandpa, if she really has evidence, then this lake might as well be dug up again to check."

Porter walked over to Patriarch.noveldrama

He stopped messing around, and his expression became serious.

"When it happened, everyone had their doubts. At that time, only Emily was there."

"If it was an accident, it would be good for both the Jackson Group and the Jackson family. But what if it wasn't?"

Patriarch stared at him with a gloomy looking.

Porter subconsciously felt scared, but he still met his gaze.

"If the murderer is really hiding in the Jackson family, then who knows who will be kill next time?"

"Mr. Porter, you can't say that nonsense."

The old butler glared at him, giving him a hint.

Why did he go crazy like Emily?

Didn't he notice that Patriarch was on the verge of rage?

He said carefully, "The matriarch is kind. No one in the Jackson family hates her."

"She lives in seclusion. It is impossible to make enemies. Who would intentionally kill such a nice person?"

What the old butler said was actually correct.

With Matriarch's personality, it was impossible for her to make enemies.

There should be a motive for a murder. If there was no motive, then a murder could not exist.

"Then what if the matriarch found out some secrets and the murder wanted to guard them?"

Although Emily's voice wasn't loud, it was resolute.

The wind blew on her, and she looked weak.

She used to be thin, but now she was thinner, as if she would collapse in a single breeze.

However, she was calmer than anyone else!

Her words seemed to be more convincing because of her solemnity.

"Patriarch, if you conceal this matter just for the sake of the Jackson Group, then you will become an accomplice to the murder!"

"As far as I know, the matriarch did a big favor for the Jackson family. You have always respected her for so many years because you feel guilty!"

"Shut up!"

"Patriarch, the matriarch has helped the Jackson family a lot, so please give her justice!"

"What nonsense!" Patriarch suddenly turned around and walked away.

"Patriarch..."

"Miss Emily, there are some things that aren't as simple as you think!"

The old butler stood in front of Emily and said in a deep voice, "The matriarch's death has been a heavy blow to Patriarch. They have been together for so many years, and their relationship has been beyond description."

The old butler sighed, "Miss Emily, you were the prime suspect in the accident. Now, if you continue the investigation, it's not good for you. Please think about it carefully."

The old butler had a deep look at her again and hurried to catch up with Patriarch.

Emily followed them and shouted, "Patriarch, even if you don't agree, I won't let it go!"

However, they had already gone far away, and completely ignored her.

Emily stood in the wind, expressionless as she looked at their backs.

After a while, a soft cough sounded from behind her. "Hey ..."

Emily was shocked. She didn't expect that Porter was still here.

She turned around and wanted to say something, but finally kept silent.

"Do you know that if what you said was true, then our Jackson family would definitely suffered a lot?"

Emily didn't say anything. She had thought about it.

However, her grandma's death was unclear. Should she cover the truth forever for

the sake of the Jackson Group?

"Leave the murderer in this house. Aren't you afraid that there will be another victim?"

Porter shrugged and smiled, "In fact, this is just your speculation."

"What if it's true?" Emily glared at him.

Porter looked down at her.

She was even more persistent than he had imagined.

Porter didn't say anything and just looked in the direction of the WongRiver Pavilion.

After a while, he said, "Has Hunter gone out today? I'll take you back."

However, Emily still stared at the filled lake, clenching her fists.

"I neither object nor support you, but you'd better discuss it with Hunter first.”

Talk to Hunter ... Would Hunter listen to her?

"You are a member of the Jackson Group. You should be very clear about what happened back then."

She looked at Porter, not sure if he would give her a definite answer.

"After the accident, I was locked up by Patriarch. I don't know what happened."

By the time she woke up, she had already been sent away.

She didn't know at all what happened in the Jackson family.

"Was the matriarch's wheelchair buried at the bottom of the lake now?"

Porter did not answer this question. He just looked at the filled lake with her.

Except Patriarch, no one knew whether the wheelchair was still inside or not. Perhaps it had been sent away long ago, or as she thought, it was buried at the bottom of the lake.

The soil was clearly turned.

However, grass and trees had been green and lush in just over a month.

New lives were thriving.

If there really were any secrets at the bottom of the lake, it seemed that they would be covered forever.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to dig this lake again."

Porter looked at Emily, who was sitting on the meadow. Her dim gaze was fixed on the flowers and trees.

Porter didn't know how to comfort her.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, the butler is right. With Grandma's personality, it is impossible for her to make enemies."

"So, why do you believe that she was murdered? How can you support your

view? Everyone thinks that it's your imaging things."

Emily remained silent, only looking ahead.

Porter felt that he could no longer stay with her,

She was young, and at most eighteen or nineteen years old.

However, she was as tacit as an old woman now.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go now."

He stood behind Emily and looked down at her.

"If you can figure it out for yourself, then go back to the WongRiver Pavilion soon.

Stop thinking nonsense."

She still kept silent.

Porter cast a glance at her and left.

Emily did not know how long she had been sitting on the meadow.

The midday sun had set and darkness fell across the whole land.

An astonished voice sounded, "Emily, why are you here?"
