“There are wolves in those mountains,” Abel said. “Could her body be eaten by wolves?”
“Even if that were the case, there should be clothing or shoes left behind,” Edmond said. “My men and I couldn’t find anything at all.”
Abel frowned. Could it be that Evelyn isn’t dead yet?
“Might Evelyn be still alive?” Paul also asked the same question.
“It might not be a bad thing if she were still alive,” Abel said. “She’s so young.”
“But Evelyn brought harm to everyone,” Paul said and glanced at his second son. “Especially Flynn.”
“Father, we don’t know if Evelyn was the one who harmed Flynn. You shouldn’t make wild guesses,” Edmond said.
“Who else could it be?” Paul said angrily. “Didn’t you see Flynn’s call records with her?”
“Do you know what they talked about?”
Paul did not have any answer.
“Also, Flynn adored Evelyn very much. I don’t think she could bear to harm her elder brother,” Edmon continued.
“She’s an ingrate!” Paul said angrily. “Evelyn must’ve lured Flynn out with a phone call, then got some people to abduct him. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened to him!”
“We didn’t see any of that happen, right?” Edmond said. “For all you know, that’s only a wild guess!”
Abel frowned. He could tell that Edmond had certain grievances.
Abel said, “When we went to the mountain villa, Flynn was restrained by the abductors. He was found in a pool of blood, and he had a high fever.”
“…That doesn’t mean Evelyn is conspiring with the abductors, right?”
“Unfortunately, your sister was found together with the abductors,” Abel said.
“Did you see that for yourself?”
Abel had no reply to that.
He only knew about that from Emmeline. Emmeline told her Adam crippled Evelyn and threw her into the mountains.
“Your silence is very telling, Mr. Ryker,” Edmond said.
“I didn’t see Evelyn,” Abel said while suppressing his annoyance. “If there’s anything else you want to know, I’d advise you to investigate yourself.”
