"Mr. Mu, let her go! She can't answer you like this." Luke rescued Yakira from Edward's grip. Edward was boiling with rage. He wouldn't mind killing this woman right now.
"Cough… Cough…" Yakira stepped back with fear. What lousy luck! Everybody was seizing her by the neck to kill her these days, she wondered.
"What happened? Have you found Daisy? What are you doing here?" Brian rushed down from his room. He wanted to go out, but his mother instructed him to stay at home so he was still here all this while.
"Brian, drive them out! Their fierce looks scare me." Brian's appearance made Yakira feel protected. She walked up to him hurriedly.
"Your timing is just right. Where is Mary?" Edward spluttered. He kept calling Mary while he was on his way to Yakira's home, but the automated voice on her phone told him that her phone was switched off. She was smart. In order to prevent the signal from being tracked, she turned off her phone.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her since morning. Did she do anything unforgivable again?" Brian frowned. Something serious must have happened, or Edward wouldn't be so angry.
"She called Daisy before Daisy went missing. Do you know why she called her up?" Edward looked at Yakira with a scowl. In his opinion, all of this was done to get Yakira out and take revenge from Daisy.
"What? Daisy is missing?" Brian originally thought that Daisy left home as she was mad at Edward, but now it sounded completely different. He turned to ask Yakira, "Mom, what the hell is going on? What do you know?"
"I know nothing. I just came back from the jail about an hour ago. How can I know what happened while I wasn't here? Don't point the finger at me. I know nothing. There are dozens of people who hate Daisy. Maybe one of her enemies have kidnapped her to take revenge. My daughter is innocent!"
Yakira gloated over Daisy's disappearance. She didn't care why she was missing or where she was. Anyway, it was a good thing for her.
"Are you sure of that? Yakira, if I find out that Mary is behind all this, I swear I'll kill her!" Edward was disappointed. Mary wasn't at home, and Yakira seemed to know nothing. As she said, she was just released from the police station. Edward believed that she really didn't know the ins and outs of the entire matter. However, Mary's call did arouse his suspicion.
As Edward thought, Mary was afraid that her phone signal might be tracked, so she turned off her phone. But, why was she stupid enough to call Daisy from her own phone then? She was now on the top of the crime list.
Mary felt that she fell into the trap that was set up by someone else. She underestimated Jessica. She mistakenly thought Jessica was meek, but she turned out to be vicious.
"Mary, don't you want to take revenge? Why are you silent now?" Jessica tossed back her wavy hair and looked at Mary coldly.
