FULL NOVELXO Chapter 324: Why Him?
Chapter 324: Why Him?
“Lois said that whole thing about Hunter, right?” Sally tried to get rid of this.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lois was shocked and wanted to kick Sally, “It was you!”
Emily ignored them and walked out of the hotel. She happened to see Joe and Terry standing together. Probably they were waiting for Emily.
Seeing Emily come out, Joe immediately came over and whispered, “There is something emergency.”
“Sally, ask Terry to send you back first.” Emily glanced at Sally.
Sally noticed that Joe and Emily seemed to have some secrets lately.
However, she ignored them and left with Lois.
Terry was a little hesitant. Emily said to him, “Young Master Henry will wait for me.”
So Terry did not have to stay with Emily.
He left with two girls.
Rufus and Aryan left early. Henry seemed to have met an acquaintance and was chatting in the hotel.
Joe pulled Emily to an inconspicuous place and whispered, “I’ve finally found that Luke!”
“Really?” Emily was instantly excited.
After searching for more than a month, they finally found him.
Luke was so hard to find.
“I contacted him, but he didn’t want to come back. He said that someone in Bentson City wanted to kill him.”
It was imaginable but Emily was still stunned upon hearing this.
Indeed, there were some people meddling in.
They hadn’t taken any actions towards her until now. Maybe it was because she was always with Henry, or their investigation was too secret and Emily did not realize.
“Joe, try to get in touch with him first. Don’t act at the time being.”
Joe was just a nineteen-year-old boy. It was a bit hard for him to deal with this kind of thing.
“I know. I won’t go too far.”
Ever since what happened to Evie, Joe felt unease.
Later, something had happened to Emily. Although Henry had been with her, they did not know much about it.
However, they could guess what it was about.
Joe was worried that this matter had something to do with what they were investigating. Since then, he had been very careful in everything.
Even if he was searching the Internet, he had to make sure that he didn’t leave any traces behind.
“Luke said that Matriarch Jackson did ask him to investigate something, but he would not say anything.”
“But at least he admitted that he had contacted Matriarch Jackson.”
Luke might be the key figure in the whole matter.
Emily thought for a while before saying, “I’ll think about what to do. Now, let’s go back.”
“Alright.” Since Henry hadn’t come out, Joe couldn’t leave.
Just now, Emily left with Sally. Henry thought that they had already left.
Joe called Henry but Henry didn’t answer it. Maybe Henry didn’t have his phone by his side or he was too busy.
“Shall I send you back first?” Joe’s car was still in the hotel garage.
“No need. I’ll wait for Henry. You can leave first.” Emily shook her head.
Joe glanced at the lobby of the hotel. He couldn’t see Henry’s figure, but the lobby was filled with people.
There shouldn’t be any danger in such place.
Joe nodded, “Then I’ll leave first. Call me if you need anything.”
“Alright.” After seeing Joe off, Emily waited at the entrance of the hotel. But she suddenly didn’t want to wait.
Actually, tonight, she was very upset.
She didn’t want to admit that her bad mood was because she saw Hunter again, but it was indeed related to him. She could not deny it.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Henry, saying that she had left with Joe and Lois.
After the message was sent, Emily heaved a sigh of relief, put away her phone and walked towards the distant street.
It was around eight or nine o’clock.
The noise of the streets was mixed with the restlessness of the citizens.
As Emily walked through the crowd, her irritated heart gradually settled down.
Regardless of what had happened in the past, everything was settled by now.
Hunter was destined not to belong to her, and now she and Hunter returned to their own original ways. She should not take the small incident seriously.
Actually, wasn’t this good now?
She thought she could easily let go of all this.
However, could she really let go?
Emily turned around and was about to return to the hotel waiting for Henry.
Unexpectedly, just as she turned around, a chill came from behind her.
Emily was shocked. She hurriedly turned around and tried to escape.
However, the person behind grabbed her.
Before Emily could see clearly the person, she opened her mouth to call for help, but she suddenly inhaled a strange fragrance.
Afterwards, she became unconscious and fell down.
Ever since she broke up with Hunter, her life had been very peaceful.
For more than a month, there had been no accidents or attacks.
She didn’t expect that she would be kidnapped again after just reuniting with Hunter.
Hunter must have brought her bad luck.
Emily felt sleepy. She fainted, but she wasn’t completely unconscious.
She couldn’t open her eyes, but she could still feel what was happening around her.
She was thrown into a car. The car was as large as a mini room.
Someone tied her hands up above her head. Afterwards, they abandoned her here and left.
Where was she? Whose car was this? What did they want to do?
After a long time, someone seemed to have arrived outside.
The people outside spoke respectfully to him, but Emily did not hear clearly what they said.
After that, the car door was suddenly opened and someone entered.
The cold air came in and Emily trembled.
The aura and the smell were so familiar. She immediately recognized it.
But the next second, she panicked.
He actually asked people to kidnap her, what exactly did he want to do?
Emily finally opened her eyes and saw the man sitting beside her clearly.
He was holding a cigarette in his hand.
Previously, he had not smoked much, but today, Emily saw him smoking twice.
Was he irritated, or was he already used to the feeling of smoking?
Emily soon found out that it was not the time to feel sorry for Hunter. She should figure out what Hunter wanted.
Emily realized that her hands were tied tightly, and she was unable to move.
She looked at the quiet man and said in a cold voice, “What do you want?”
