“Ashton, find out where Kate is right now.”
Henry knew who she was; she was Emily’s father, Charles’s wife. It was natural for Henry to know a little bit more about the Gales than other people.
A few moments later, Ashton put down his phone and frowned. “Second Young Master, Kate had gone abroad.”
“She is overseas?” If she had something to do with the incident, it made perfect sense for her to go abroad.
“Yes, she left this afternoon.”
Ashton told them the news that he had just received.
“First, she went to City L. Then she continued to New Zealand, but there was no record of her entry into the country.”
In other words, she had gone into hiding, and they had not been able to find out where she was. Someone extraordinary must have helped her with the plan.
“She must have something to do with this!” Lois suddenly stood up; she was disconcerted with the news. “Sally’s fall must be related to her. Second Young Master, shall we call the police?”
“This matter is already under investigation.”
Ashton knew that they were anxious, but without any evidence, they could not simply accuse Kate. They had to plan their next step. After all, the image that Joe found was not enough to prove that the incident was related to Kate. They must not have been the only people on the seventh floor. Many other people were there to check out the renovation for the upcoming event.
They had no evidence to pin the blame on Kate. Nevertheless, it seemed suspicious that she would go abroad on the same day. Emily balled her fists, got up, and walked to the elevator.
Henry chased after her and pulled her back. “Are you going to find Wendy?”
Kate was Wendy’s mother, so she must have something to do with the matter as well.
“There was no reason for them to target Sally.”
Emily looked at Henry and bit her lip. “If that was Kate, then, the matter is definitely related to Wendy.”
After Sally’s accident, she had tried hard to suppress her emotions, but she could no longer keep them bottled in her mind.
Sally was typically aloof from the events that had nothing to do with her. What could have possibly threatened Wendy for Sally to suffer such a miserable fate? In Emily’s previous life, Sally had been kidnapped, gang-raped, and killed, and that was all because of Wendy. In her new life, however, Sally had an accident, and Wendy’s mother was at the scene. Emily knew that her speculations were ungrounded, but she had a feeling that it must have been related to Wendy! She had to know where Kate was; she would just have to find her and interrogate her.
“Emily, don’t be impulsive.”
“No, Emily’s not impulsive. We must find out the truth about this!” Lois also clenched her fists tightly.
No matter what, they must first locate Kate. Henry knew that it would not be easy to stop them as they were best friends, and they did not even know if Sally would survive the ordeal. If Kate had something to do with Sally’s fall, they might even have the urge to kill her! He might be even more impulsive if he was in their shoes! The group of friends departed hastily, and they left the dazed Blair and Rosalie behind.
“Look at that Emily. She said that we don’t care about Sally, what about herself?”
Rosalie looked at the empty area near the elevator disdainfully.
“Didn’t she run away too? How dare she accuse us! Is she really your daughter’s friend?”
Blair had no idea what had happened. He could not stop anyone from leaving!
“Just a group of unscrupulous people. I thought they were good to Sally, but I was wrong! Bah!”
Rosalie suddenly recalled something. “What did they just say? They are going to see Wendy? Wendy is now with Eldest Young Master Jackson, isn’t she?”
“How would I know?” Blair never cared about the gossip.
On the other hand, Rosalie had paid close attention to it. The Gale sisters had fought for Eldest Young Master Jackson. How could she miss such sensational news in Bentson?
Suddenly, she smiled. “Even though Second Young Master Sharp is powerful, he is still not as good as Eldest Young Master Jackson.”
“Since we can’t get close to Second Young Master Sharp, then, we could try getting close to Eldest Young Master Jackson.”
She took out her phone and flipped through her address book for a useful contact.
“What are you doing?” Blair frowned.
He was not in a good mood as Sally was still in the ICU.
“Something useful, of course. Unlike you, who are just rotting away.”
Rosalie had always looked down on her husband. She scoffed and dialed the number.
“Hello, Mrs. Yang. Do you know Miss Wendy from the Gale family?”
“Oh, nothing much. I just want to talk to Miss Wendy about something related to Emily. Hmm, good things, of course…”
…
Emily finally found Wendy in a shopping mall. Old Master Gale was resting in the lounger area, and Wendy was in the clothing store by herself.
“Where is Kate?” Emily’s eyes blazed with anger.
Sally’s incident had made her completely irrational. However, Wendy was not surprised to see her.
She glanced at the man behind her and raised her lips into a faint smile. “Why? Are you here to pick a fight?”
“Where is Kate?” Lois wanted to lunge at her, but a bodyguard stopped her.
Wendy might have been there by herself, but Hunter’s bodyguards had accompanied her.
Ewan was also there, and he personally stopped Henry. “Second Young Master Sharp, let the two sisters sort things out themselves.”
When women got into an argument, they would most probably quarrel about it. Even if they got into a fight, things might not turn ugly. The men could stop them if a fight were to break out between them. They should not get involved if they could help it.
Henry looked at the two girls. Even though Ewan did not help the situation, his people were close by. It seemed like no one was at a disadvantage. Nonetheless, he was worried about Emily, who seemed to have lost her mind.
“Emily!” Lois wanted to join the sisters, but someone stopped her. Terry was about to use force as more bodyguards appeared in an instant.
Joe took his hand and whispered, “Terry, don’t be impulsive. We would lose if we were to start a fight.”
No one knew what Wendy and her mother did to Sally. However, if the friends hurt anyone, everyone would see that they were at fault. They could get into trouble and even risked being charged. It was foolish to act rashly at such a time!
