Not only was Emily gone, but it also turned out that Wendy was missing as well.
“Did the sisters leave together? Perhaps, they are having too much fun and lost track of time.”
“How is that possible?” Snowy interrupted the hypothesis disdainfully. “Those two women, though they are sisters, have never gotten along with each other. How could they have fun together?”
They were, after all, two young misses from the Gale family. Even though they might not like one another, they might not treat each other horribly. However, the relationship between Wendy and Emily was too far gone. It was like they were born to be enemies, especially when Eldest Young Master Jackson was the reason for their fight. If one were to drive the Eastern Palace away, then the Western palace would move in with the master. However, it was not an official or acknowledged relationship. Who knew what had happened between them?
“Perhaps, they are out fighting somewhere?” Well, that was an interesting theory.
Of course, those people were not worried about Wendy and Emily at all. They were Eldest Young Master Jackson’s women. If they did not survive, then Eldest Young Master Jackson would be single and available again. In that case, any of the ladies there might stand a chance to be his next woman.
“They took Emily!” Sally rushed out of nowhere and dashed toward Snowy.
“Young Miss Jackson, where is Second Young Master Jackson?”
They were Second Young Master Jackson’s guests, so they should look for him if they were in trouble.
“Why are you looking for my brother?” Even though Snowy did not like Emily’s friends, she could not turn a blind eye when something so serious had happened.
“Emily went there because of those people!” Sally pointed at Connie, who stood nearby.
Connie shrugged and said scornfully, “I haven’t touched Emily; don’t you point fingers at me.”
“You pushed me into the woods in the evening! That was why Emily was there! She went in to look for me.”
“Why don’t you tell everyone why I dragged you there? You dirtied my clothes! Have you compensated me for that?”
“It was you who bumped into me…”
“What the hell happened?” Snowy was even more displeased when she heard about it. Was Emily’s disappearance related to Connie?
What about Wendy?
Connie was impatient, and she did not want to explain herself. “This bloody girl refused to compensate for staining my clothes. I got angry and dragged her into the woods to negotiate with her.”
“It was just clothes. Did you need to get so frustrated?”
The Jackson family was the organizer for the event, and if something unpleasant were to happen on her watch, Snowy would not be happy about it. Even though she had a bad temper, she was not an impulsive person.
“Where did Emily go? If you know about it, tell me quickly.”
Both of her eldest brother and second brother had sent out search parties.
“I… How would I know?” Connie felt a little guilty, but she decided to deny any connection to the incident. “What does it have to do with me?”
“You were the one who dragged me there, and it was only then that Emily went there to search for me. I saw you! You brought her there!
Sally wanted to find Manson, but she did not see him on the ship or the island. Lois had joined the search parties, and she had yet to return. Since Snowy could not help her, Sally could only continue to locate Manson.
Connie was about to leave when Snowy stopped her. “Stop right there!”
Connie bit her lower lip and smiled when she looked back at Snowy.
“Xueer, is there anything else?”
“Connie, don’t play tricks. Emily may not have anything to do with Eldest Brother, but she is Second Brother’s guest. If something were to happen to her, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility for it!”
“I… I don’t know…”
“Connie, if you refuse to tell the truth, I will tell Second Brother what Sally had said when Second Brother is back.”
“Snowy, I didn’t do anything to that woman.”
Connie was a little uneasy. Even though Snowy was simple-minded and easily deceived, one should not think that she was a bad person. She was a naive girl, and she only hated Emily and Wendy because she felt they were bad people. However, she had begun to doubt Snowy…
“Snowy, I was just outraged. Sally dirtied my clothes! I didn’t like what had happened, so I just wanted to teach her a lesson…”
“Straight to the point!” Emily and Wendy had gone missing, so she could not just let that slide! Connie did not expect that Snowy would keep asking more questions about it. Connie was impatient, but she would not want to offend the young miss Jackson.
Connie snorted and then whispered, “I led her to the depths of the woods, thinking that she would not be able to find her out after she went in there…”
“Are you nuts? At least nine-tenths of this island has not been developed yet. It is impossible to get out after you go in.”
Snowy hated the two Gale sisters, but she would not want them to die there. She was not even sure what could possibly be on the island. Even if there were no ferocious animals, there might be some venomous snakes.
“I was angry with her because she bullied my sister.”
Connie grabbed Snowy’s arm and shook it. “Snowy, I didn’t mean it. In fact, they… they also knew about it.”
The other girls immediately took two steps backward.
Snowy’s face immediately darkened. “Then, where the hell did you girls lead her to? Hurry up and tell me!”
Both of her brothers had dispatched people into the woods and the nearby beaches to find them, but they were like headless flies. The girls had known what had happened, and yet they had kept it to themselves! Connie could only take Snowy into the woods and pointed to the direction in which it led to the deeper part of the forests.
“After we brought Sally in, we were not actually that far away, I deliberately led Emily deeper into the woods.
“As for Wendy, who knows what’s going on between the sisters? They went in there hand in hand.”
“They held hands?”
“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes…”
“Are you sure Wendy didn’t know anything?” Snowy could not believe that Wendy and Emily were so friendly with each other!
“I…”
“What else are you hiding?” Snowy’s face darkened even more.
“Wendy took the initiative to help us. I didn’t even ask for her help. She figured out what we were doing on her own.”
Presumably, that woman could not wait to kill Emily. That was why she offered to help.
“How did she help?” Snowy asked.
“She went to Emily and told her that we brought Sally into the woods. We had wanted Emily to head in there on her own, but she was smart enough to drag Wendy with her.”
Anyway, they were also displeased with Wendy. The woman thought that she could get into their social circle after she had helped them. She did not know that everyone hated her. The Gale family had no business with the upper societies in Bentson. Wendy wanted to be part of them so that she could use their connections to her advantage. How would she even dare to think about that? She should take a better look at herself!
Snowy pulled out her mobile phone and called Hunter. “Eldest Brother, I know where Wendy had gone missing.”
