Monica had a vague sense of unease and quickly walked towards Daphne Wells. She didn't have time to check if Tristan was at the café. A thought popped into her head-Claire's disappearance might be related to this woman!
Seeing Monica approach, Daphne Wells neither hid nor ran, just coldly glanced at her. When Monica stopped in front of her, the chill emanating from Daphne Wells became even more intense, as if it came from the abyss and carried a foul stench.
"Why are you here?" Monica asked, her voice filled with suspicion as she stared into Daphne Wells's eyes.
Daphne Wells recognized the voice of the girl next door from last night and realized that this girl must be staying in the room next to her. She liked Rowan, right? But she was staying with another man. Daphne Wells's lips curled into a cold smile, not bothering to hide her disdain as she retorted, "What do you think?" Perhaps this woman had already guessed something, and that's why she was asking.
Monica recalled the scene from the last time they met and the words this woman had said to her; they were full of hostility towards Claire. "Is Claire's disappearance related to you?" Monica asked directly.
Daphne Wells, hands in her pockets, smirked with a hint of smugness, "If I say no, would you believe me?" Her tone was truly infuriating!
Monica frowned, of course she didn't believe her! Daphne Wells looked at her with contempt and disdain, then glanced at the seemingly calm river. The search and rescue team hadn't reached this area yet, with a few boats anchored not far upstream.
