Emily squatted on the ground. She remembered clearly that the accident had occurred here.
At that time, Matriarch’s wheelchair suddenly slid towards the lake.
So what was hidden here?
Just as Emily was about to take a step forward, her shoes were suddenly pulled off by something.
But when she turned around, she couldn’t see anything.
Her shoes were pulled again. It was clear that a force was pulling at her shoes.
Emily was shocked. She looked down and saw a few ornaments of black stones on the hem of her shoes.
How could they be pulled by an invisible force?
No, they seemed to be entangled by a wire.
Emily squatted down again and gently untied the wire.
It was almost transparent. If one didn’t look at it carefully, he wouldn’t be able to see it at all.
“Milady?” A maid called gently in front.
Emily looked up and found that it was one of the maids who had served for the matriarch of the Jackson family.
However, there were too many servants in the Jackson’s, and they were often transferred among various courtyards.
She had served for the matriarch for a short while before being transferred away.
Therefore, Emily didn’t have a deep impression of her.
“I am no longer the lady of the Jackson family. You shouldn’t call me by that later,” Emily said indifferently.
The maid was dumbfound for a second. Then, she apologized in a hurry, “Sorry, M... Miss Emily, I didn’t meant it!”
“Don’t worry. It’s okay. Do I look terrifying?” Emily smiled.
Seeing her nice smile, the little maid finally calmed down.
“Miss Emily, what are you doing?” She walked over.
“My shoes got stuck.” Emily was still working on the wire.
The maid smiled when she saw what was on her shoes.
“You’ve been entangled by the water plant. It has dried up.”
She squatted down and helped Emily get rid of the plant.
“They used to grow in the lake. But after the land reclamation from the lake, it’s rare to see them.”
“Water plant?” Emily frowned and a thought flashed through her mind.
She grabbed the maid’s hand and said anxiously, “Do you mean that the lake was full of this kind of water plants? Transparent water plants?”
“They’re not transparent, but if there’s sunlight and water, they look transparent.”
The maid did not know why her expression suddenly became so strange.
She picked up the dried plant and handed it to Emily.
“When they wither and dry up, they will have color. Then, we can see them easily.”
Emily got the plant and pulled it. She didn’t expect that it was hard to break it even if it was thin.
“Are you saying that if it’s wet, you won’t be able to see it?”
Emily became a little breathless. Back then, Matriarch’s wheelchair slid into the lake. It was clearly a slide, not a roll!
The wheels didn’t roll at all!
Slide … If it was a slide, shouldn’t it be pulled by an external force?
However, she didn’t see anything at that time, so she didn’t think that Matriarch’s wheelchair was dragged into the bottom of the lake.
It was all because she didn’t see it.
But what if the rope was transparent?
“Miss Emily, what are you thinking?”
As Emily’s expression became more and more serious, the little maid was getting uneasy.
“Miss Emily, did I say something wrong?”
