Follow Me novel Chapter 30

Sadie’s heart sank. She shook Liddy by her shoulders and asked, her eyes cold, “You… What do you mean? Speak clearly.”

Liddy snorted lightly and shook her hands away in disgust, “I am tired. You want to know? Then go ask the police. It will all come out into the open soon any way.”

Sadie retracted her hands and opened the door with cold feet.

She had also been sold. She forgot the way to go downstairs. She looked up and saw Julian standing outside the inpatient department. She smiled at him like a psychopath and walked mechanically past him.

The sky had darkened outside; it was even darker than her mood.

She went back to the orphanage in a daze. She searched in her bag for a long time but still couldn’t find the key. At this moment, the last of her strength left her as she slid down on the ground and began to cry bitterly, her face buried in her palms.

All the warmth was fake. The place that she called home was actually a fiery hell.

It was ridiculous that she tried her best to save that woman.

“The girl who was killed was horribly assaulted before she died. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation and provide some clues.”

“You might need to go to the hospital for an examination in the future, we want to determine the number of girls who were harmed.”

“Calm down, and try to compose yourself a bit…”

The policewoman’s words circled her mind again and again. Sadie raised her head from her hands, trembling. She stood up by grabbing the railing, dug out the key from her bag and finally opened the door.

She had been living at this house since she was adopted, Dean Esme also lived here. If what the police told her was true, then she could not have been completely unaware of it.

“You have also been sold, but seeing you like this, you must not remember.” Liddy’s words resounded in her head like thunder.

Sadie bit her lower lip as she rummaged through the boxes. She found the key to Dean Esme’s room and opened the door tremblingly.

She and Liddy were never allowed to enter her room. Whether it was cleaning or tidying up, Esme always did it herself.

After looking around, she found a password protected safe in the wardrobe. She blinked, and took it out with some trouble. Then she tried to open it by pressing in a password.

Maybe she was too lucky, or Esme too careless, but the password she tried actually worked.

The safe opened to reveal a lot of jewels inside and a thick diary with a lock on it.

Her eyes fell on the jade lock which she used to wear but later lost. A bleak smile appeared on her face as she took it and put it in her pant pocket after hesitating for a bit.

The locked diary didn’t have a key. She tried to find the key for a bit but she was unsuccessful. In the end, she tore the diary apart violently and opened it to read it.

Suddenly, without any warning, a line of words jumped out for her attention. “Sadie, total price fifty thousand yuan. A good price.”

Her mind exploded and cold shock spread throughout her body to her fingertips and toes, drenching her soul in horror.

Liddy was not lying.

Suddenly calming down, she put the safe back in the wardrobe. Wiped her fingerprints off of it, closed the wardrobe and walked out of the room with casual steps, unhurriedly.

Locking the door, she ran down the stairs with her bag on her back.

The street lights were already on and the orphanage quiet. It looked faint and gloomy.

In the warm breeze, Sadie’s eyes gradually became sweaty and hot, her vision blurred but she didn’t wipe them clean.
