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?
“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 … have something to do with the
murderer. This time, you … can’t escape.”
“Oh, I see. I see …”
Sarah did not panic or fear.
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!”
