Ash hummed as she nestled on the sofa. She looked at Brooke and was a little puzzled by Brooke’s somber expression. ‘What’s the matter? Why do you look more serious after coming back?”
Brooke said, “I’m sorry.”
Ash frowned and sat up straight, holding on to the armrest of the sofa. “You’re sorry? Why did you say that suddenly? What were you two doing outside just now? You suddenly apologized to me.”
I shouldn’t have let you participate-”
What happened to Ash?”
Where’s Ash?”
Where’s she?”
Brooke had just started to speak when Josh, who was out hunting, rushed in with Lachlan and Jackson. They were panting, bviously having just run back.
osh had always been very measured. At this moment, he was obviously in a fluster. He came to the front and subconsciously rabbed Ash’s arm. “Ash, where were you bitten?”
Ash was bemused, but her heart overflowed with emotion. “Dad, Lachlan, Jackson, I’m fine. It was just a small accident, and ‘m fine now.”
You were bitten by a snake. How could you be fine?” The worry on Lachlan’s face was evident. “Have you gotten an njection? What did the doctor say? Don’t you need to go to the hospital for another examination?”
ackson nodded in agreement. “You’d better go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Although there are machines and quipment here, they aren’t as sophisticated as those in the hospital.”
Let’s go now. Someone else will host the dinner.” Josh also agreed with the two. “I’ll have someone bring a wheelchair. Let’s o to the hospital.”
ish didn’t think that her injury was that serious. Except for the numbness on her ankle, the rest of the discomfort was completely gone. “I’m really fine.”
From the looks of it, they would really send her to the hospital at any time. Ash said, “Mom, say something.”
Brooke knew that Ash was fine, and her mind was not on this at all. “Alright, let Ash rest. The doctor just said she was fine.
Brooke frowned, and her face still looked grim.“You two can stay here, but don’t disturb Ash’s rest. Dear, Calvert, let’s talk
Isewhere
Ash roughly guessed what was going on and sighed helplessly. “Mom, there are no outsiders here. It’s okay. Did Calvert tell you about what happened on the hill today?”
‘What happened?” Lachlan had a vague guess “Did someone tamper with your flare gun?”
The topic was back to the flare gun again.
Ash understood what Lachlan meant. Lachlan probably thought she didn’t signal for help when she got injured because the flare gun had been swapped.

sh sighed and shook her head. “No, the flare gun got damp. The sign for our return route was tampered with, and some aps were added along the way.”
Have you arranged for someone to check the surveillance footage?” Jackson’s first thought was to check the surveillance otage. “I guess it has been tampered with, but there may be some clues.”
ckson acted swiftly. As soon as he said that, he was ready to check the surveillance footage. When he walked to the door, he as stopped by Brooke. “You can check the surveillance footage, but do it quietly.”
fter Jackson left, the atmosphere in the lounge remained subdued.
s there any suspect?” Josh was currently feeling guilty, thinking that he shouldn’t have held this family gathering.
sh looked at Calvert with a little resentment. Calvert shouldn’t have told them so soon, causing them to worry. Sometimes,* eing too favored was a sweet burden.
ne shook her head. “No.”
ctually, she guessed that it was most likely Jade.
owever, since there was no evidence, she wouldn’t say that. There was no point in saying that, and it would cause Josh and rooke unnecessary trouble.
Ithough Jade had done a lot of wrong things before, after all, it was before she committed suicide, and there was also
bstantial evidence. Now, after her suicide attempt, the Turner family still had some sympathy for her.
lore importantly, Ash had no evidence. She couldn’t accuse Jade without evidence.
This matter must be carefully investigated. This place has always been strictly managed and monitored. The other party just have planned it for a long time, and it must have been someone from the Turner family.
How bold of that person to act right under our noses.” Josh was angry. This was the first time Ash had seen her father so
ngry.
Lalvert, who had been silent, also spoke. “It’s best to contact a professional to see if the surveillance footage can be restored. n addition, since the other party has failed now, they will definitely try something again later,
But they won’t do anything at the dinner party today. Mr. Turner, I suggest that you investigate it secretly.”
Then, he was silent for a few seconds. “You can carry on as usual. I’ll accompany Ash here for the time being. If we are all here, it will attract everyone’s attention.”
As he said this, their eyes met, and Ash suddenly remembered his reaction when she was half–unconscious. He seemed nervous and even a little scared.
Brooke tugged at Josh’s sleeve. “Calvert is right. We should be rational. With everyone here, Ash can’t rest well Let’s go out We can rest assured with Calvert here
Soon, only Calvert and Ash were left in the lounge. Ash leaned back leisurely “Thank you for today. I was probably hitten by the snake when we shot the other snake. I’d been careless.”
If Ash’s subordinates got wind of this, she would probably become a laughingstock for the rest of her life.
Calvert was still leaning against the wall with one hand in his pocket. His expression was indifferent. I suppose you have a suspect in mind. Why didn’t you tell them?”
