"Yes, your eyes are almost the same." The manager looked at his reddened hand and replied with a forced smile.
Mrs. Gardner's eyes turned red suddenly and tears flowed down. She said, "She's Makayla. She's definitely Makayla. Makayla is still alive. Where is that girl now?"
She asked in a trembling voice.
The manager replied, "She's gone, not long ago. She might still be in the mall."
As soon as the manager finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Gardner running out of the store in a hurry without even taking her bag. She was looking for a girl who might be her eldest daughter in this mall.
However, Mrs. Gardner searched the entire mall but still failed to find the girl who wore her daughter's necklace and had eyes similar to her daughter's.
Mrs. Gardner returned to the DT store in a daze.
The manager served her a glass of water. "Mrs. Gardner, have you found her?"
Mrs. Gardner shook her head in disappointment. "No."
"It's alright. Since she is in Olkmore, I believe that you will meet her one day." The manager comforted Mrs. Gardner with a smile.
She did not know what the relationship between Mrs. Gardner and this Makayla girl.
However, as Mrs. Gardner valued her, it seemed that their relationship was very close.
"Thank you." Mrs. Gardner forced a smile, took out her card to pay the bill, and hurried back to the Gardner family with the bracelet.
"Trenton!" Mrs. Gardner shouted as soon as she entered.
Trenton came down from upstairs. "Didn't you go to the mall? Why did you come back so soon?"
"Trenton, Makayla is still alive." Mrs. Gardner looked at Trenton and said excitedly.
Trenton almost slipped. "What did you say?"
He held the banister and looked at Mrs. Gardner in shock.
Mrs. Gardner clenched her fists tightly. "Makayla is still alive! Our eldest daughter is still alive."
"Nonsense." Trenton frowned. "I'm afraid you've met a crook again. Over these years, there have always been crooks saying that our daughter is still alive. In fact, they're here to cheat money."
"It's different this time. Makayla is wearing a necklace, similar to this one..."Mrs. Gardner quickly took out the necklace from her neck and said, "The manager of the DT store told me that the girl took the same necklace there and asked about it. And the girl's eyes are exactly the same as mine. Trenton, I'm sure that the girl must be Makayla."
Trenton was also stunned. "But how is that possible? Hugo Reed drowned Makayla to death. We all saw it."
"Yes, but didn't the police tell us that Makayla's body was not found? Maybe Makayla didn't die after being thrown into the river at that time, but was saved by someone else. Otherwise, how do we explain that a girl with the same eyes as mine appeared with our daughter's necklace?" Mrs. Gardner gripped the necklace tightly.
Trenton put his hand on his forehead. "Give me a minute."
"Dad, mom, what are you talking about?" At this time, Makenna also came down from upstairs. She was curious when seeing Mrs. Garner and Trenton acting strangely.
Mrs. Gardner held Makenna's hand. "Makenna, your big sister isn't dead. She's still alive."
"What?" Makenna was shocked. "Mom, you said Makayla is alive?"
"Yes. She's in Olkmore." Mrs. Gardner nodded happily.
Makenna lowered her eyes which were filled with malice.
Makayla didn't die. This was simply too shocking.
Moreover, seeing her mom so happy who seemed to be preparing to bring Makayla back, Makenna felt fretful. If that was true, then in the future, her mom would only care about Makayla and ignore her.
Makenna thought, "No, I can't let Makayla come back. If she comes back, I have to share with her my inheritance rights, the property of the Gardner family, and the love of my parents."
"I would never let such a thing happen."
Makenna bit her lower lip. She asked tentatively, "That's great. Mom, where is Makayla now?"
