Wendy wanted Emily to go to Fisherman Wharf.
However, what Emily told Lottie was Steveston Wharf.
She couldn’t let Lottie go with her because Wendy had said that as long as Emily didn’t go alone, Grandpa Gale would be in danger.
But she also knew that if she really went alone, dangers would engulf her!
However, there wasn’t much time. If she didn’t go there in an hour, she didn’t know what Wendy would do to Grandpa Gale.
Emily looked at her phone. She wanted to call Joseph, but she couldn’t get through his number.
He must have gone to the high seas.
He must have gone too far away, so it made sense that she couldn’t contact him at the moment.
Wendy was behind all of this. She intentionally left clues to make Joseph believe that she was still on the high seas, so that Joseph wouldn’t be here with Emily. Wendy had lured her enemy away!
After several attempts, Emily still couldn’t contact Joseph. She had to give up.
She dialed another number.
As before, Hunter’s phone was shut down.
Her last bit of hope was completely destroyed.
Through the gap between the doors, Emily saw Lottie walk into the room while making a phone call.
She immediately changed clothes and walked out of the room. It was in the middle of the night, and few people were awake. She went to the kitchen to look for something, then sneaked out of the house.
There were quite a few cars in the garage, with car keys in them.
Emily opened the door of one of the cars. Just as she was about to start it, her expression became a little solemn again.
More or less, she still trusted him. She still wanted to rely on him.
When she was most helpless, she would always think of Hunter.
She took out her phone and sent a message to him, “Wendy wants me to go to Fisherman Wharf now. I’m going alone. I wonder what danger is waiting for me.”
After the message was sent, she started the car. She stepped on the accelerator and drove it out of the garage.
Perhaps, Hunter and Wendy were really on good terms.
Perhaps, Hunter no longer cared about her.
Perhaps… There were countless perhaps, but she still wanted to believe him and rely on him.
Perhaps this was her last resort…
In her last life, she drove for years.
After she was reborn, there had been no chance for her to drive yet.
At first, she found it a little difficult, but soon, she remembered how to drive skillfully.
The black luxury car was like an elf in the night …
…
Fisherman Wharf.
The dock, which had been abandoned for several years, was indescribably quiet tonight.
Apart from the faint lights in the distance, the surroundings were pitch black.
Emily parked her car in the open space beside the dock. She got off the car and walked towards the place where the lights were on. She was halfway there when her phone rang.
She thought it was Wendy, but it was actually Hunter.
“What do you want to do?” Hunter’s tone was slightly rude.
Along with his words came the whistling sound of the wind. He seemed to stand against the wind, and the wind was very strong.
The sound of the wind seemed to get louder and louder. Was he walking?
No, it was more like that he was driving in the wind. Or, could it be that he was on the sea?
Where the hell was he?
“Wendy said that only if I came to Fisherman Wharf would she let Grandpa Gale go.”
“Stupid! Do you think she will really let him go? Don’t you know what kind of person Wendy is?”
Hunter was glad that he had turned on his phone. Otherwise, he would have missed Emily’s message!
What a stupid woman!
“Now, go back immediately. I’ve already told you. Your grandfather is fine. Do you hear me?”
