Chapter 422: Were They in Cahoots?
Chapter 422: Were They in Cahoots?
“Tell them to go away!” Emily shouted.
For the sake of her own life, Wendy could only do as Emily said, “Go away! All of you, go away! No one is allowed to come over!”
Seeing this, those men and the bodyguards could only retreat one after another.
Even though they weren’t Wendy’s people, they couldn’t let anything happen to her right now. She was still useful.
If anything happened to her, their plan would be very difficult to implement afterwards.
Emily hijacked Wendy and walked in the direction of her car.
For the sake of Wendy’s safety, those men could only follow from afar. They didn’t have the guts to come near Emily.
Finally, Emily returned to her car.
Just as she was about to open the door, Wendy suddenly sank her face. She swung her elbow towards Emily’s belly.
Seeing this, Emily panicked. She subconsciously reached out to block Wendy’s elbow.
She was already pregnant. She couldn’t let anyone hurt her child!
Emily reacted fast. Otherwise, Wendy’s heavy blow would have landed on her belly.
With a “bang”, the knife in Emily’s hand landed on the ground.
Wendy, taking the chance, hurriedly fled.
“Capture her! Kill her!” Seeing that Emily have opened the car door, Wendy roared, “Whoever kills her will get a million!”
One million! That was a large sum of money!
Money talks. A few men immediately got on the car and chased after Emily, who had just stepped on the accelerator.
Emily was not excellent at driving. After all, she had not received any professional training.
Very quickly, she could see the two cars clearly in the rear-view mirrors.
She was heading towards an abandoned dock. In the early hours of the morning, there would be no cars passing by.
In other words, no one would help her at this time. She could only rely on herself!
Emily tightly gripped the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.
The luxury car from the Gale family had excellent performance.
Those men behind Emily were simply unable to catch up with her.
Emily looked through the rearview mirror and saw that those men were thrown far away. She breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around and looked ahead. Suddenly, a beam of light shone over!
A car came across the road!
Emily was shocked. In fact, the two cars could not collide on their own roads.
However, Emily was shocked. She panicked as she moved the steering wheel.
After realizing that she had made a mistake, she quickly turned the steering wheel back.
She also stepped on the brakes.
With a squeak, the car stopped. Her head bumped into the steering wheel.
When the other cars stopped beside her, the drivers were dumbfounded.
Was it true that women could not drive at all?
…
“Hunter, what exactly are you bringing me here for?”
The old man walking behind Hunter was exactly Sawyer, who had made everyone anxious lately.
It had been two days since he came to the island. Today was Monday.
Time passed quickly!
He wanted to go back, but Hunter was only willing to help him here. Hunter didn’t mention a bit about when he was going to send him back.
As for Sawyer, his phone was gone, and he couldn’t use any communication equipment, so he couldn’t contact anyone at all!
He signed the share transfer letter. What exactly was Wendy doing with the letter now?
Sawyer didn’t ask Hunter whether he and Wendy were in cahoots or not.
Even if he asked, there were chances that Hunter would lie to him. If Hunter chose to lie, what was the point of asking him?
However, as long as he was acknowledged, Sawyer felt that it was unlikely that Hunter and Wendy would work together.
However, what did Hunter mean by letting him stay here all the time?
“Hunter…”
“More than 40 years ago, did you know a girl called Maia?”
“What … did you say?”
Maia! The name frightened Sawyer. Suddenly, his legs went limp. He almost lost his balance.
Hunter stared at Sawyer’s expression. Indeed, there was no need to ask this question anymore.
“Maybe you also know that Maia was my grandfather’s first wife. She was my grandmother, the last Mrs. Jackson.”
“Hunter, what exactly do you want to say?”
Sawyer subconsciously took two steps back. He became alert.
“I found a picture of you. The day before my grandmother’s accident, you--”
Hunter, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and locked his cold gaze on Sawyer’s face.
“At that time, you were with her. Could you please tell me what you did to my grandmother? Why were you with her when the accident happened?”
“I...”
Hunter was quite patient. He was waiting for Sawyer’s answer.
However, in the end, Patriarch Gale remained silent.
Finally, Hunter turned around and walked to the other side of the beach.
Sawyer caught up with him and said anxiously, “Hunter, no matter what happened back then, it was all on me. Please have mercy towards the Gales.
This matter has nothing to do with my daughter or my granddaughter, Hunter.…”
“But it has a lot to do with the younger generation of the Jackson family.”
Hunter stopped, but he did not look back at Sawyer.
“Some of them lost their mothers, and some of them lost their grandmothers at birth.”
He might not have any feelings for Matriarch Jackson, but after all, she was his grandmother!
They were bound by blood!
“Hunter, please show mercy to my family…”
“Keep these words for the Jacksons.”
Hunter left for real this time. The speedboat was on the beach. Sawyer could also leave if he wanted.
However, no one knew where this place was.
Moreover, Sawyer couldn’t sail. He didn’t have the guts to operate these speedboats any more.
Meanwhile, his physical condition seemed to be getting worse and worse …
He coughed against the sea breeze.
On the beach ahead, Sasha was searching everywhere.
Seeing Sawyer alone at the seaside, Sasha’s heart tightened and she quickly walked over.
“Dad, why are you here alone? Where’s Hunter? Is he still here?”
“No. He’s gone.” Sawyer looked in the direction of the sea.
Sasha followed his gaze. Sure enough, she could see a speedboat rapidly moving away on the sea.
He was gone. What about them?
“Dad, was he with you just now? What did he say? Why did he save us and leave us here?”
There was not only a house, but also everything they needed in the kitchen here.
Even if they lived here for a month and a half, they wouldn’t starve to death!
However, why did Hunter leave them here?
Today was Monday. Wendy had already got the share transfer letter…
“Could it be that Hunter is with Wendy?”
