Emily’s heart ached.
Lying on the bed like a doll.
Regardless of whether Hunter said it intentionally or not, these words had truly hurt her.
Emily took a deep breath and tried to suppress the pain.
She became calm and indifferent again.
She had already told herself not to care. So, why did it hurt?
Did it hurt because she still cared about him?
...
What a fool!
Hunter did not stay here all the time.
About half an hour later, Liam answered the phone and left with Hunter.
Emily, however, sat under the shade of the tree and looked ahead, watching everyone busy.
Then, someone pulled her fiercely from behind!
“Emily, what exactly do you mean? What do you want?”
The person who was almost crazy was Sarah.
It was a little beyond Emily’s expectations.
“Come with me to a place!” Sarah grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her up.
Emily did not say anything. She was pulled by Sarah all the way to the back room, where Matriarch Jackson had lived.
After arriving here, Emily’s mind was weighed down immediately.
However, what did Sarah mean?
“Tell Hunter to stop digging the lake!”
Sarah was a little anxious and glared at her!
“Why should I stop?” Emily observed Sarah’s expression.
However, Sarah, who was always quiet and gentle, was extremely anxious now.
Her previous calmness had completely disappeared.
Emily narrowed her eyes and said, “Mrs. Sarah, I don’t understand what you’re doing.”
“You don’t need to understand. You just need to tell Hunter to stop digging the lake!”
But how could Emily listen to her so easily?
“Shouldn’t you give me a reason at least? And this reason must be able to convince me?”
“Emily!”
“You were the only one who saw Matriarch Jackson before the accident. Did you do something to her wheelchair?”
Sarah’s current performance was truly puzzling!
If Sarah wasn’t guilty, why would she ask her to persuade Hunter to stop digging the lake?
But if she was truly guilty, why did she dare to directly say her purpose in front of her?
What was Sarah thinking?
“I didn’t kill Matriarch Jackson.”
Sarah was excited just now.
Hunter decided to dig the lake last night or even this morning.
No one had received any news beforehand.
Sarah had inquired that even the excavation team had only received instructions this morning to come here.
Sarah did not know why Hunter suddenly did this. But she was sure that Emily was the only one who could stop Hunter.
After all, the entire Jackson family knew about the dispute between Patriarch Jackson and Hunter.
“Emily, I can’t explain it to you. As long as you’re willing to persuade Hunter, I’ll give you anything you want.”
“But I don’t want anything.”
Emily stared at Sarah.
Sarah’s performance made her even more certain that Matriarch Jackson’s death was not an accident.
“Who killed Matriarch Jackson?”
Emily walked over and suddenly grabbed Sarah’s clothes.
“You know, don’t you? Tell me, who is it? Why did he do this?”
“Nobody. It was just an accident!”
