Chapter 895: Where Did Zoey Sanders Go?
Chloe looked into Emma's eyes, filled with trust and determination, and finally nodded, following Emma's instructions.
Zoey listened to their plans, terrified beyond measure. She had been protected by the Sanders Family since she was little and had never encountered such a situation.
Especially since these two women intended to silence her!
No, she was still so young.
She hadn't even caught Liam's attention yet, she didn't want to die.
Please, someone save her.
"Mmm mmm mmm... mmm..." Zoey struggled frantically, her fearful eyes bloodshot.
Emma squatted down, pressing firmly on Zoey's shoulders, her eyes full of ruthless intent, "Miss Sanders, sorry, we bore you no grudge, but you heard what you shouldn't have, I have no choice but to do this, so forgive me."
Emma found a handy stick beside her, gripping it tightly with both hands, hesitating as she held it in the air...
Zoey's eyes widened, tears of fear continuously falling, she kept shaking her head, "Mmm... mmm! Mmm mmm..."
No, no, she was afraid of pain...
"Bang."
A stick hit her on the head.
Zoey's vision turned black, and she immediately passed out.
Emma frantically dropped the stick, retreating several steps back until her back hit the shelf behind her with a thud, and she stopped.
Emma undoubtedly was doing this for the first time, and the fear in her heart was inevitable.
Sunlight shone through a small high window into this dim warehouse, where the girl lay with eyes tightly shut, blood trickling down her forehead along her face.
Chloe covered her mouth to stifle a scream, her shoulders tensed, looking at Emma, "Emma, you... you really did..."
"She was too noisy, I just knocked her out, it's alright, it's alright, quickly call someone."
Chloe's mind was now blank, just continuously following Emma's instructions.
Emma took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.
She hadn't anticipated the situation would escalate like this.
Clearly, she didn't intend to harm anyone.
...
At lunchtime, Waylon Lewis had someone arrange a private room in a nearby restaurant.
In the forty-something square meter large private room, Waylon Lewis and Hope Williams were already seated, Waylon holding Baby, feeding him with a bottle.
Luke and Willow, like two little maniacs today, had been wildly playing all morning and were now devouring a small cake.
Soon, everyone slowly came in, Hope took a glance at Joseph Sanders, not seeing Zoey, asked, "Where's Zoey?"
Joseph bent down to sit, "I don't know, maybe she went to find Wyatt and them, she will come by later."
Hope nodded.
But soon, Wyatt Lewis came in with Aria Richardson, chatting and laughing, but there was no Zoey with them.
"Wasn't that girl Zoey with you?" Joseph asked.
"No, we've been at the shooting range, wasn't she with you?" Aria looked puzzled at Joseph.
"She sat with me for a while, then left."
After sitting down, Aria took out her phone, "Let me call her and see."
Aria made a call, but no one answered. She called again, still no answer.
"What's going on? It's connecting but no answer."
Joseph hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's okay, no need to call again, she's probably in a bad mood, so she went somewhere quiet, she likes to lock herself in her room when she's in a bad mood at home, don't worry, she'll come back when she's ready."
"Bad mood? What happened? Is it because of the horse riding incident?" Hope asked, looking concerned at Joseph.
Just now, both she and Waylon had their attention on the three children and didn't notice where Zoey went, making them worry when she couldn't be found.
Joseph raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "No, it's her own issue, sister-in-law don't worry."
"Shall we have someone look for her?" Hope frowned and suggested.
Joseph didn't think it was a big deal, knowing Zoey's temperament, she would become silent and preferred being alone when upset, everything would be alright once she calmed down.
"No need, she'll probably bounce back soon, she's in her twenties, not a kid, she won't get lost."
Liam Cloud slowly walked in, pulled back a chair, and sat down, glancing around the table, seeing no one had started eating, he raised an eyebrow, "Not hungry?"
Not wanting everyone to wait for Zoey, Joseph said, "Let's start eating, don't wait for that girl."
After Joseph spoke, Liam happened to notice the empty seat next to Joseph.
That spoiled, pretentious girl who couldn't hide her little thoughts...
Liam just briefly thought about it, not paying much attention.
