Ch. 371..375: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 371-375

Chapter 371 The Cold Wind

After Manson got off work, he heard that Emily had been in the Jackson family.

He had thought it was impossible, but the servant insisted it was true. Emily had indeed returned.

However, he couldn't find a reason to see her in the WongRiver Pavilion.

He didn't expect to meet her here when he came to the backyard for a walk.

"The wind is so strong. You will catch a cold with such a thin sweater!"

Manson walked behind her, took off his coat and put it on her.

Emily could feel his body temperature from his coat, which disperse the coldness.

Feeling the warmth, Emily suddenly realized that it was really cold.

She saw the man sitting beside her.

This man had made her suffer a lot for Wendy.

Now, he actually treated her as a friend.

Things in the world were really hard to predict!

"Are you thinking about Grandma again?" Manson stared at her face, which had

been stiff due to the cold wind.

Emily nodded and pulled his coat a bit without saying anything.

"Have you eaten yet?" He thought if she had been sitting here all day.

When he saw her, she was totally lost in her thought.

And there were a few withered leaves on her hair.

Emily shook her head and looked up, only to find that all the street lights in the backyard were on.

She didn't expect that she had sit there for the entire afternoon, but she didn't notice it at all!

"There's something above your head." Manson took the withered leaves away from her hair.

They sat closely. It was as if they were hugging each other from afar.

Emily felt that their current state seemed too intimate.

She said, "Look, I have to go now."

Manson had changed a lot. He was completely different now.

Indeed, he was no longer annoying as he used to be.

In fact, he now was kind of like a gentleman.

However, he was still a man from the Jackson family. Emily did not want to have any contacts with them.

She stood up, but her legs were numb.

Before she could stand steadily, she fell down.

She fell into Manson's arms.

Manson's hands held her shoulders. He knew that he should help her stand up, but he was still a little reluctant to let her go.

"Sorry!" Emily supported herself with her hands on his shoulders. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn't.

Her legs were really numb. After sitting here for the entire afternoon, she felt her legs were numb and sore!

After stretching her legs for a while, Emily was about to retreat away from Manson.

Before she could take a step backward, she suddenly a cold gaze staring at her.

Looking sideways, she saw a figure stood under a tree not far away.

His back was against the light and she couldn't see his face clearly.

However, his gaze was extremely cold, as if it could freeze everything. Manson took two steps back after he helped Emily get up and stand steadily. He was reluctant to part with her, but if he continued, he would only harm her.

"Hunter."

Hunter did not say a word, and deep in his eyes was a cold and solemn looking that was even more cold that the wind of winter.

"I'll explain it to him." Manson turned around.

However, Emily said indifferently, "It will be the greatest help to me if you can leave now."

Manson felt a little resentful.

She was no longer Hunter's fiancé, but why did she still stay with him?

He clenched his hands tightly, but he was afraid that his chasing would make things difficult for her.

In the end, he could only have a deep look at her and left.

"If you need any help, feel free to come to me."

Emily ignored him.

She didn't want to see any men from the Jackson family.

When her legs became less numb, she walked towards Hunter. "Hunter ..."

His deep eyes were filled with coldness, just like the wind tonight.

When her gaze was fixed on her, she would shiver.

Hunter did not say anything and just stared her.

He was really different from what he used to be.

Even if he did say anything and just stared at her indifferently, she would feel that

she was totally wrong.

She had the urge to apologize to him!

It wasn't because she felt that she really did something wrong, but because he

was domineering.

He was strong enough to make people obey him in any conditions.

No one knew what he was thinking, not even Liam, who had always been by his

side.

Nobody could see his emotions on his face.

It was stressful so that she couldn't take a breath.

As the cold wind blew over, Emily subconsciously shrank back.

She sat in the wind for too long and hadn't had dinner yet.

It was as if there was no energy left on his body now.

Hunter stared at the coat on her.

Emily remembered that she was still wearing Manson's clothes.

She took off the coat without any hesitation.

She shivered in the cold wind and turned around to return the coat to Manson.

When she looked at Hunter again, he had already walked towards the WongRiver Pavilion.

Emily ran after him at once.

Liam hurried to drive the sightseeing bus over, and Hunter took the lead in getting in the bus.

Emily pulled at the railing with her ice-cold hands and got in.

It was midwinter, and the temperature was only around ten degrees after nightfall.

She came out in a thin sweater at noon. The sweater did not block the wind. When the sightseeing bus drove, it was so cold that she kept sneezing.

Hunter leaned against his chair and was taking a rest, with his eyes closed. He didn't care about her at all.

Emily did not expect him to care about her, either.

She sat on the other side of, trying to keep her sneezing low so as not to disturb

him.

As soon as they returned to the Wong River Pavilion, Liam had the butler prepare dinner.

As soon as Hunter sat down, Emily sat down, picked up her bowl, and wolfed down the food.

It wasn't because she was hungry, but cold!

After having a bowl of warm soup, she felt warm.noveldrama

Now, she had the strength to speak.

"I found a dried silk of water plants by the lake in the backyard."

"They are very tough and can be easily broken. If there are a lot of them, they can

pull a heavy thing."

"They are transparent in the sunlight when they're alive. Most people won't be

able to discover them if they don't pay attention."

It was also because of the nature of the water plants that she was unable to discover it back then!

Hunter picked up his chopsticks and ate quietly.

Liam, who was sitting at the other side, wanted to ask something, but since Young

Master Hunter did not speak, he shouldn't ask.

Emily was never someone who would give up easily.

She still looked at Hunter with a determined expression.

"Hunter, what happened to the matriarch is definitely not an accident!"

"I believe that someone used this kind of water plants to wrap around her

wheelchair, so that she was pulled into the bottom of the lake!"

Hunter's expression did not change at all, as if what she said was insignificant to

him.

Emily put down the bowl and clenches her hands tightly, "Hunter, as long as you

dig that lake again, I believe that you will definitely discover the secrets hidden at the bottom of the lake!"☐☐☐

Chapter 372 Just Trust Her

Hunter was still eating, ignoring Emily's words.

Emily bit her lip, not willing to give up.

"Hunter, you said that Grandma was the person you respected the most. Don't you want to know about her ..."

"You're full, aren't you?"

The man finally spoke, but he didn't catch a glimpse of her at all.

Emily suddenly felt sad in her heart.

She could no longer find anyone in the Jackson family to rely on.

Patriarch would not agree to dig the lake again.

Hunter was her only hope!

"Hunter, the matriarch's death is unclear. You have the responsibility to give her justice!"

Hunter put down his chopsticks and his expression darkened.

"When the accident happened, were you not the only one on the scene?"

Emily was dumbfound. What did he mean?

Did he still not believe her until now? Did he still think it was related to her?

"It's not me!" She tightened her grip on the embroidered tablecloth, her fingertips trembling slightly.

"If you don't believe me, you can dig up the lake."

"Since you're full, then go up, take a shower and wait for me."

"Hunter..."

"Bring her up." Hunter's indifferent words were absolute orders here.

In order to prevent him from getting even angrier, Liam immediately put down his

chopsticks and walked to Emily.

"Miss Emily, please go upstairs."

Emily stared at Hunter's calm eyes.

She was still unwilling to give up. Did he really not want to know what had happened at that time?

Or was it that he had already decided that she was the murder?

"Hunter."

"Miss Emily, I'll send you up!"

Liam's voice grew louder, trying to stop Emily, lest Hunter should be angry.

His temper was worse than Emily knew now.

"Please don't make things difficult for me!" Liam said in a deep voice.

Emily bit her lip and finally left.

That night, he returned to his room at ten o'clock.

Just after taking a shower, he threw Emily on the bed.

She lay on the bed and did not resist at all. However, she did not give up persuading him.

"Why aren't you willing to give it a try? He's your favorite grandmother!"

The man behind her did not say anything. He just threw the bathrobe on a chair beside him.

Emily gritted her teeth and silently endured his rage.

He was more terrifying than ever before. He almost tore her into pieces when they made out.

Finally, she couldn't help but burst into cries. "Why?"

No one answered her.

But she actually knew that he was just punishing her.

He was furious because she sat together with Manson and act intimate with other

men.

He was petty in some aspects.

She hurt.

She grabbed the sheets beneath her and began to sob.

Sunlight shone on the bed through the French window.

The girl under the blanket slowly opened her eyes and immediately closed them. Emily couldn't adapt to the strong light.

After a while, she opened her eyes again and saw everything in the room clearly.

Hunter left.

There was his smelling in the air, but she couldn't feel his temperature on the sheets.

She hurt all over her body.

Emily grabbed the blanket and sat up with all strength.

She wanted to wash her face, but she didn't have the strength.

Looking at the empty room, she was suddenly drowned in a sense of despair.

He didn't trust her. No matter what she said or did, he wouldn't believe her again!

He would never believe her.

She had tried best to control herself, but finally tears rolled down her face.

In the early morning, Emily was alone in the room. It was so cold that the sunlight could not bring her warmth.

She sat on the bed and put her arms around her legs. She was crying silently.

However, she was crying hard, but she did not know why she was crying.

She had hurt him so much that he thought she had betrayed her.

Wasn't it the most normal thing that he did not trust her?

It would be a miracle if he trusted her.

However, how would a miracle happen?

The so-called miracles were only things that desperate people could come up with

to comfort themselves.

She no longer believed it.

She raised her hand and wiped her tears from her face.

Her tears hadn't dried up yet, but she had calmed down.

She told herself to stop crying, because tears have no value here.

She lifted the blanket and slowly got off the bed.

When she stood on the ground, her legs were so painful that she almost fell down.

That beast!

When he went crazy, he was simply not a human!

She hurt so much.

It was only three months. When the agreement ended, everything would be over.

Emily washed her face and brushed her teeth before she went downstairs.

After having some snacks, she walked out of the hall and into the courtyard. Everyone was busy while she was bored.

She felt sick today and was not in a good mood, either.

Even if she went back to read, she wouldn't be able to fix her attention on books. Then, Emily walked out of the WongRiver Pavilion.

She got on the sightseeing bus and drove towards the Jackson Group's backyard. The closer she got to the backyard, the more she felt that it was strange today. Why was there such a loud noise from the backyard? It seemed a big project.

The closer she got to the backyard, the louder the noise was.

There were a lot of people, and it seemed to be very lively.

Was it the place where the accident happened? What were they doing?

Emily stopped the sightseeing bus, endured the pain and walked towards the filled lake.

Along the way, she could meet many servants who came over from that direction. "What's going on over there? What's everyone doing?" She grabbed one of them and asked in a low voice.

The new maid didn't know Emily.

Hearing the question, she replied, “Young Master Hunter is digging up the lake.”

"Digging?"

"Yeah, I heard that it was a lake before. I don't know why it was filled up, but now, it's going to be dug up again."noveldrama

The maid didn't understand what the rich people were things. She thought it would waste a lot of money to fill it up and dig it up again.

However, the Jackson family was really rich.

No one cared about money at all.

Emily couldn't remember when the maid left.

The words of the maid lingered in her mind all the time. She were thinking that the

lake was about to be dug up.

Hunter wanted to dig up the lake that had been filled up!

He was digging up the lake!

Ignoring the pain in her legs, she quickly walked over.

When Emily saw the tall figure standing in the sunlight, she could feel the warmth

hidden behind his chilly back. She couldn't help but cover her lips and tears rolled down her cheeks.

It turned out that there really was a miracle in this world.

It turned out that miracles were not the thing that desperate people came up with

to comfort themselves.

A miracle had appeared in her life.

She leaned against a tree and covered her lips tightly.

At the most painful times, her tears would roll out of her eyes, but she would try

her best to not cry.

Now, she couldn't help but cry when she looked at that figure.

Hunter, what kind of person were you?

He would make her desperate, but also give her the greatest hope.

She knew that he did this for the sake of the matriarch.

But at least, he believed her!

As long as he trusted her, it was enough!

 

Chapter 373 Trying to Threaten Me with Her"Hunter, what are you doing?"

Patriarch Jackson left the house early in the morning. When he heard the news,

he came back immediately.

In front of him, dozens of machines were operating.

Part of the excavation had been done.

The original lake was very big. It had taken several days to fill up it.

Now, it was much more difficult to dig it again than to fill it.

Therefore, it was impossible to dig it out in less than three days.

However, it would only be three to five days!

"Hunter, let them stop!" Patriarch Jackson was so angry that his face turned red.

He had already said that he would absolutely not allow anyone to dig this lake again. What Hunter was doing now was clearly embarrassing him!

"Brat, I tell you to stop them. Do you hear me?"

"Why should they stop?" Hunter did not look at Patriarch Jackson. He stared at the surface of the lake.

"I heard that there is new evidence to prove that what happened to Grandma back then was not an accident."

"Who's talking nonsense!"

Of course, Patriarch Jackson knew who it was. He shouldn't have let that woman stay.

Yesterday, he should have sent her far away!

This woman was fated to mourn their Jackson family. Allowing her to stay was indeed another disaster!

"Your grandmother's death is an accident. We have already found out about it. What are you going to do now?"

Patriarch Jackson was so angry that his fingers were trembling.

The old butler also whispered, "Mr. Hunter, you have to think about it clearly. If you continue investigating this matter ..."

"If there really is a murderer, we may find him if I continue investigating."

Hunter looked at the two indifferently, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"If there really is a murderer, then it is the woman you brought back!"

Patriarch Jackson pointed to the figure under the tree in the distance. "Bring her over."

Immediately, two black-clothed bodyguards walked towards Emily.

In fact, Emily knew that Patriarch Jackson was looking for her before the two bodyguards spoke anything.

After wiping the last tears, Emily pursed her lips and walked over first without waiting for the bodyguards to invite her.

Hunter's gaze swept past her without stopping.

He still looked at the surface of the lake that was being dug. There was no emotion in his eyes.

"Since you want to investigate, then put this woman in jail first. She is the most suspicious one."

Patriarch Jackson glanced at Emily with cold eyes.

His tone was firm.

As long as Hunter continued to dig the lake, he would call the police and ask them to take Emily away.

"Grandpa, are you threatening me?"

Hunter twisted his head sideways and looked at him with a gentle gaze.

He didn't seem to be angry.

There was even a faint smile on the corners of his lips, "Do you think she is a bargaining chip you can use to threaten me?"

Patriarch Jackson didn't say anything. No one could change Hunter's decision.

He could not either!

Emily looked at the place where the others were busy.

She smiled, "I didn't do it. I'm not afraid to go to the police station. I'm sure the police will give me justice."

"You... you really aren't afraid of death!" Patriarch Jackson was very angry!

"I'm afraid." Emily met his gaze. She was unexpectedly calm and indifferent.

"But I know that nothing will happen to me if I go in, because I didn't kill Matriarch Jackson."

Patriarch Jackson's chest was constantly heaving. He was so angry and his heart hurt because of these people.

He didn't want to take any notice of Emily.

He let his sharp eyes settle upon Hunter's face.

"Do you have to do this? Even if you know that once this matter gets out, the Jackson Group's shares will definitely be affected?"

Hunter disagreed, "Since you have given the Jackson Group to me, should you not take too much care of it?"

"You..." Patriarch Jackson had never expected that the grandson he raised would talk to him in such an attitude!

He had almost completely remained in the background.

He basically did not care about the Jackson Group.

He trusted Hunter's ability and believed that Hunter could bring Jackson Group to

a new peak.

However, the premise was that there was no such woman!

As long as she was around, his grandson would easily become a lunatic!

"Brat, don't be too crazy. Otherwise, I will let you feel sorry!"

His cold gaze swept across Emily.

Hunter sneered and suddenly stretched out his hand to push Emily over.

"You want to threaten me with her? Oh, she is just a tool for warming the bed. You can make use of her as you like."

A tool for warming the bed...

Although Hunter's voice wasn't loud, everyone around could hear him clearly.

So, Emily was able to return because she had provided such a service to Hunter.

No wonder she had been abandoned but still stayed by Hunter's side shamelessly.

Unexpectedly, the rumors were true. Everything that Emily had now was exchanged with her own body.

Emily was expressionless and accepted all the disdainful gazes quietly.

If he said she was a tool for warming the bed, then she was. As long as Hunter

was willing to investigate this matter, she didn't mind any humiliation.

In any case, from the moment she returned to the WongRiver Pavilion, she was a disgrace.

Emily smiled and looked at Patriarch Jackson indifferently.

"Does Patriarch Jackson want to call the police? If you are going to call the police, then I'll go back and eat first. I'm afraid that I can't eat well in the police station.”

She didn't seem to care whether she would spend the rest of her life in prison or

not!

Patriarch Jackson was almost angered to death by these two people!

After a burst of anger, his chest suddenly became heavy, and even breathing became difficult.

He covered his heart.

The old butler was startled and said in a hurry, "Master, how are you?"

Hunter did not want to argue with him anymore. He said indifferently, "Send him back to rest and let Peter have a check on him."

"No need!" What about his arrogance just now? Now, why did he play as a good grandson?noveldrama

If Hunter hadn't angered him, how could he feel unwell like this?

"I know I can't stop what you decide to do. But you'd better think about it yourself! After this, what difficulties will our Jackson Group face?"

Hunter remained silent.

Patriarch Jackson was so angry that he stamped his foot and turned around to leave.

His footsteps were a bit messy. It seemed that he was indeed not very well. "Master!" The old butler quickly followed.

While walking, he took out his phone and said in a hurry, "Master is not feeling

well. Come and have a check on him."

They walked far away, and a few bodyguards followed.

Everyone was still busy by the pond.

The servants in the surroundings didn't dare to stay to be an onlooker anymore. They all went far away.

Emily glanced at Hunter. At this moment, there were only two words she could say, "... Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? I'm just giving you a reward by the way."

Hunter didn't even look at her, and his voice was indifferent and had no emotion. "After all, you made me have such a good time before."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 374 Emily, You Force Me

Emily's heart ached.

Lying on the bed like a doll.

Regardless of whether Hunter said it intentionally or not, these words had truly hurt her.

Emily took a deep breath and tried to suppress the pain.

She became calm and indifferent again.

She had already told herself not to care. So, why did it hurt?

Did it hurt because she still cared about him?

...

What a fool!

Hunter did not stay here all the time.

About half an hour later, Liam answered the phone and left with Hunter.

Emily, however, sat under the shade of the tree and looked ahead, watching everyone busy.

Then, someone pulled her fiercely from behind!

"Emily, what exactly do you mean? What do you want?"

The person who was almost crazy was Sarah.

It was a little beyond Emily's expectations.

"Come with me to a place!" Sarah grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her up.

Emily did not say anything. She was pulled by Sarah all the way to the back room, where Matriarch Jackson had lived.

After arriving here, Emily's mind was weighed down immediately.

However, what did Sarah mean?

"Tell Hunter to stop digging the lake!"

Sarah was a little anxious and glared at her!

"Why should I stop?" Emily observed Sarah's expression.

However, Sarah, who was always quiet and gentle, was extremely anxious now.

Her previous calmness had completely disappeared.

Emily narrowed her eyes and said, “Mrs. Sarah, I don't understand what you're doing."

"You don't need to understand. You just need to tell Hunter to stop digging the lake!"

But how could Emily listen to her so easily?

"Shouldn't you give me a reason at least? And this reason must be able to convince me?"

"Emily!"

"You were the only one who saw Matriarch Jackson before the accident. Did you do something to her wheelchair?"

Sarah's current performance was truly puzzling!

If Sarah wasn't guilty, why would she ask her to persuade Hunter to stop digging the lake?

But if she was truly guilty, why did she dare to directly say her purpose in front of her?

What was Sarah thinking?noveldrama

"I didn't kill Matriarch Jackson."

Sarah was excited just now.

Hunter decided to dig the lake last night or even this morning.

No one had received any news beforehand.

Sarah had inquired that even the excavation team had only received instructions this morning to come here.

Sarah did not know why Hunter suddenly did this. But she was sure that Emily was the only one who could stop Hunter.

After all, the entire Jackson family knew about the dispute between Patriarch Jackson and Hunter.

"Emily, I can't explain it to you. As long as you're willing to persuade Hunter, I'll give you anything you want."

"But I don't want anything."

Emily stared at Sarah.

Sarah's performance made her even more certain that Matriarch Jackson's death was not an accident.

"Who killed Matriarch Jackson?"

Emily walked over and suddenly grabbed Sarah's clothes.

"You know, don't you? Tell me, who is it? Why did he do this?"

"Nobody. It was just an accident!"

Sarah pushed her away forcefully.

She was no longer cold, but only helpless now.

"Emily, I beg you. Don't investigate this matter anymore, OK? Please!"

Emily was still indifferent. "Unless you tell me who killed Matriarch Jackson!"

"I don't know. No one killed her!"

Sarah was almost crazy. She grabbed Emily's shoulders and shook her.

"If you continue to do so, you will kill innocent people! You will kill him!"

"Who is it?" Emily frowned. Why was Sarah so excited? Who was she protecting?

"Is it Manson? Is it him?"

Her fingers were a little cold. But how was it possible?

Why would Manson kill Matriarch Jackson for no reason?

Impossible. It was impossible!

What kind of hatred did he have with Matriarch Jackson?

"He killed Matriarch Jackson?"

"What the hell are you talking about? How could Manson kill Matriarch Jackson? Are you crazy?"

"Then what are you anxious about?" Emily pushed her hands away fiercely.

"Matriarch Jackson's death was not an accident. I must investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Then tell me, why do you think she was killed by someone?"

Sarah's gaze made Emily even more puzzled.

She really didn't understand what Sarah was thinking.

If Sarah was the murderer, shouldn't she think of a way to destroy the evidence she had accidentally left behind?

However, instead of doing anything beneficial to her, Sarah came here to beg her. This was not like what a normal murderer would do. So, even though Sarah's words to her were very strange, Emily still felt that the person in front of her was not the murderer who killed Matriarch Jackson.

But what was she panicking about?

Was it because she knew who the murderer was, or was it because there were other secrets hidden in the lake?

Emily's heart trembled slightly. She didn't know what she was thinking. In short, she felt a little scared.

She suddenly walked out of the door quickly.

But just as she was about to walk to the door, Sarah suddenly pounced on her

and pulled her back.

Sarah was very powerful, as if she had exhausted all strength.

Emily was caught off guard and accidentally pulled to the ground by her.

With a thud, the back of her head hit somewhere, making her dizzy.

It hurt!

Emily covered her head and could clearly feel something warm and sticky flowing down her fingertips.

Sarah did not expect that Emily would be injured so badly after she pulled her casually!

The back of Emily's head was bleeding!

The scarlet blood immediately flowed all over the ground.

Sarah was shocked, panicked, and at a loss for what to do. In the end, she

calmed down.

"Tell me, what did you see by the lake? Why did you confirm that Matriarch Jackson's death was not an accident?"

Emily felt so much pain that she almost lost the strength to speak.

But she kept shaking her head. She felt more and more dizzy and unconsciously opened her mouth, "You guys... wrapped Matriarch Jackson's wheelchair with water grass..."

Emily sneered. Her temperature seemed to be dropping.

Her head hurt! She was also gradually losing consciousness.

However, she still sneered.

"Sarah, regardless of whether you are the murderer or not, you ... something to do with the murderer. This time, you ... can't escape."

"Oh, I see. I see..."

Sarah did not panic or fear.

have

She sat on the ground and looked at Emily, who was still bleeding, and suddenly

smiled.

"Why do you have to force me? Isn't it OK for us to live a good life? Why do you have to do this?"

She seemed a little crazy and desperate.

In the end, she stood up and walked to the bedside. Then, she pulled off the quilt

that Matriarch Jackson had used before she died, and covered Emily's body. "Emily, you force me!"

Chapter 375 Have He Forgotten How She Betrayed Him Before

Emily finally fainted.

Blood was still flowing out, and she completely lost her consciousness.

When the quilt was covered, she had no strength at all.

After confirming that Emily was no longer conscious, Sarah picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Drive the car to the hall of the back room where Matriarch Jackson lived before her death. There's some garbage I have to take out."

...

Hunter's eyebrows twitched for some reason.

He frowned slightly and seemed not to want to read the document in front of him any further.

The marketing manager was still explaining the plans for next year.

However, Hunter, who had always been praised as a workaholic, was gradually unable to listen to a single word.

With a slap, he suddenly put his pen on the table.

The marketing manager was scared and hurried to stop and looked at him.

"Mr. Hunter, is there... is there a problem?"

Everyone looked at Hunter.

Hunter looked unhappy. Was he unhappy with the contents of their meeting today?

Hunter's expression darkened slightly. Everyone was scared didn't even dare to breathe loud.

Suddenly, Hunter stood up and said coldly, "Today's meeting ends."

After that, the slender figure walked towards the door.

The secretary hurried to open the door of the meeting room and respectfully stood aside.

Hunter's figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened just now.

In the end, everyone stared at Liam.

Liam just happened to pack his briefcase. As soon as he stood up, he saw everyone was staring at him.

He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I don't know why. But there's nothing wrong with what you guys just said."

Mr. Hunter had left, so he needed to follow him.

Liam was helpless and picked up the briefcase.

Just as he left, he received a call from the butler.

... When Liam walked into Hunter's room, he was a little anxious.

"Mr. Hunter, Miss Emily..."

"Is she here?" Hearing Emily's name, the corners of Hunter's eyes twitched even more fiercely.

However, he was still cold and expressionless.

"I'm busy!"

"Mr. Hunter, Miss Emily has disappeared."

Sometimes, Liam really couldn't see through the man in front of him.

When he said the words “Miss Emily" just now, the corners of Hunter's eyes twitched.

Although Hunter was always expressionless, Liam had worked for him for so many years. As long as there was something wrong with his face, Liam could still easily tell.

But now, when he said that Miss Emily had disappeared, how could Mr. Hunter remain calm?

Liam didn't know whether Mr. Hunter cared or not.

"The Jackson's is so big that it's enough for her to wander around for a whole day." Hunter snorted coldly.

"But someone saw that she and Mrs. Sarah went to Matriarch Jackson's room. After that, Mrs. Sarah asked someone to drive the car directly in. Afterwards, no one saw Miss Emily coming out from there."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Hunter, I suspect that Mrs. Sarah has taken Miss Emily away."

As for what Sarah was going to do after taking Emily away, Liam had only just received the news and was unclear about the specific situation.

"Mr. Hunter, do we need to look for Miss Emily?"

Actually, he really wanted to see an anxious expression on Hunter's face.

Even though he knew that this was impossible.noveldrama

Sure enough, Hunter was still indifferent. He was always not anxious about anything at all.

"See what Manson is doing."

Hunter went back to his office.

Soon, Liam knocked on the door and entered, "Mr. Manson has been in the company all day and never left."

Hunter still had no reaction, but Liam was a little anxious.

"Mr. Hunter, do we send someone to look for her?"

Even Sarah had not returned. It was a bit strange.

"Why?" Hunter leaned back in his chair and looked at Liam sideways.

"Are you so idle that you even care about two women going shopping?"

"I..." The two women went shopping. Actually, it wasn't impossible for them to do

So.

Liam thought for a moment and felt that he might have thought too much.

He was just a little suspicious. Mr. Hunter did not allow Emily to go out. With

Emily's personality, if there wasn't something important, she shouldn't have gone out without permission.

However, Mr. Hunter did not say that she was not allowed to go out, did he?

Liam finally left Hunter's office with some doubts.

Hunter leaned back in his chair, feeling a little upset.

He took out a cigarette from a nearby drawer and lit it.

He raised his hand and took two puffs of smoke. The irritation and inexplicable uneasiness remained.

What happened to him?

That woman was going out. What did he care about?

Moreover, the one who took her out was Sarah.

What could happen to two women?

Emily was just a tool for warming the bed but could make him so annoyed! Was he stupid? Had he forgotten how she betrayed him with other men? Hunter took another puff of smoke and stubbed out the butt on the ashtray.

His slender finger landed on the mouse and continued to read the business plan sent over by the various departments.

Hunter came back a little early tonight. He arrived at the WongRiver Pavilion at half past six. He clearly came back as soon as he got off work.

The WongRiver Pavilion was very quiet.

That woman was not here.

No one knew where she was.

Was it not enough to hang out for a long time?

"Bring that woman back!" He was furious!

The three-month agreement did not mean that she could be so relaxed.

Even though he had returned, she still didn't come back to serve him!

Butler Qin hurried back from the outside, "Mr. Hunter, I haven't seen Miss Emily all day. I've already sent someone to look for her in the backyard, and she is also not

there."

"They said that they saw Mrs. Sarah was with Miss Emily before. But Mrs. Sarah went out all afternoon and hasn't returned yet."

"Don't you know call and ask them?"

What was going on with Butler Qin? He even couldn't handle such a small matter.

Butler Qin knew that Hunter was more irritable than before in the past month.

He said in a hurry, "Mrs. Sarah's phone is switched off. As for Miss Emily's ..."

He took a phone from his pocket and put it in front of Hunter.

"Miss Emily's phone was found in the bedroom where Matriarch Jackson lived before her death."

"What?" Hunter grabbed the phone.

It was really Emily's phone. If she went out, how could she not even bring her phone? Had she forgotten?

Hunter became more uneasy.

Before Hunter could give the order, Liam quickly walked in with an anxious expression.

"Mr. Hunter, we found blood in the hall of the back room."000
