Chapter 894: Silencing a Witness
Chloe looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong? How do you want me to help you?"
While the two were talking inside, Zoey Sanders had just shed a few tears and wanted to go to the restroom to wash her face. She happened to walk to the door.
Zoey listened to the two talking about something like 'You help me, I help you,' and felt that something was off.
So she stopped and didn't go in, leaned against the wall, wanting to hear what they were plotting.
Emma Winton leaned close to Chloe's ear and whispered her plan to her. Chloe was shocked and covered her mouth, "But this is too dangerous."
Emma's eyes were steadfast, "Dangerous, but effective."
"Have you thought it through? Do you really want to do this?"
"Yes." Emma nodded resolutely. She did not want to harm anyone; she was just thinking of herself.
"Chloe, you know me, I either don't do things or go all the way. You're my best friend, and I don't have many people I can use here, so I can only ask you to send someone to help me. If you're afraid of the risk, then never mind."
Chloe knew Emma had it tough, and she felt for Emma's struggles. She tightened her grip on Emma's hand, gritting her teeth, "I'll help you."
"Thank you, Chloe, thank you." Emma looked full of gratitude, "Time is short, can you contact the people?"
"Don't worry, as long as we have enough money, there are people willing to do this for us. You just need to be mentally prepared; if something goes wrong, it's you who will suffer."
Emma nodded, her eyes revealing some unease, but was soon replaced by determination.
If she didn't go all out once, how could she get things done?
"I know, just go ahead and do it, I'll bear all the consequences myself."
"Alright, I'll go arrange people now."
"Miss, are you feeling unwell?" The cleaning lady who was about to go in and clean saw Zoey Sanders standing at the door looking unwell and kindly asked.
Zoey's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned around and left.
Although their voices weren't loud, Zoey couldn't hear what plan they were talking about, but these two malicious women were definitely up to no good, she needed to hurry back and tell them.
"Uh-oh." The two heard the commotion and immediately came out, seeing Zoey Sanders, they knew she must have heard everything.
"Chase her."
Zoey was terrified and ran desperately outward because she heard footsteps chasing behind her.
Zoey saw Joseph Sanders in the distance talking to someone, she shouted, "Brother! Ugh ugh..."
Zoey's mouth was covered and she was forcibly dragged back.
Amidst the noise at the racecourse, her voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of hooves, but Joseph Sanders still heard something, furrowed his brow and turned back, but saw nothing.
The person he was chatting with asked, "What's the matter?"
Joseph withdrew his gaze, shook his head, "It's nothing, I thought I heard my sister calling me, I must have heard wrong."
Zoey's mouth was taped shut, and Emma and Chloe dragged her into a warehouse filled with assorted goods and tied her up.
Naturally, Zoey couldn't possibly overpower the two of them, she was almost completely powerless to resist.
"Mmm... mmm..." Zoey's mouth made muffled sounds, faintly saying let me go.
Chloe was trembling nervously, "Emma, she heard, what do we do now?"
Emma was much more calm than Chloe, she crouched down and tore off the tape from Zoey's mouth, who immediately shouted, "Let me go, what are you two trying to do, you won't succeed, let me go."
Emma frowned and taped Zoey's mouth again.
Emma originally thought since they were discovered, her plan couldn't proceed.
She thought about letting Zoey go, but seeing Zoey like this, even if she didn't proceed, Zoey would go and tell Wyatt Lewis and the others.
If she went to tell Wyatt Lewis and the others, her reputation would be utterly ruined, and it would surely reach the ears of both families' elders, and ultimately it would affect relations between the families.
Then it would be completely over.
Since she would be discovered, blamed, and scorned regardless of action.
Then why not act?
She just needed to ensure Zoey could never go and inform them, wouldn't that solve the problem?
Emma gritted her teeth, her retreat was sealed the moment Zoey heard.
Emma grabbed the slightly trembling Chloe and instructed calmly, "Call the bodyguards outside, get them to take her away, she can't be allowed to see Wyatt Lewis and others, nor let them find her."
Chloe looked at Emma in shock, "You want to silence her? But she's... She's from the Sanders Family, and how are we supposed to take her away?"
Emma glanced at the large cardboard boxes and trolleys piled beside them, "There's always a way, call the bodyguards over, then get someone to destroy the surveillance, and about that cleaner, pay her off, don't let her talk too much outside."
"But..." Chloe's courage was not as big as Emma's, she was already a bit scared now.
Emma grabbed Chloe's hand, "Don't be afraid, if something happens, I'll take the blame, Chloe, I've always regarded you as my best, most trusted friend, you can't disappoint me."
