Chapter 897: Too Frightened to Open Their Eyes
Emma clenched her hands inside her pockets, looking at Wyatt Lewis but smiling calmly.
"How is this related to me? I have no grievances with Miss Sanders. She's missing; could it be I hid her away?"
Wyatt Lewis stared at her quietly for a moment, his gaze shifting to Chloe Woods behind her, "No grievances, huh? During the horse race today, you had an argument with her, didn't you?"
Facing Wyatt Lewis's cold eyes, Chloe wasn't as calm as Emma, but as soon as a trace of panic appeared on her face, Emma answered for her:
"So what if there was an argument? Does that mean just because of an argument, Chloe would hide Miss Sanders? That's too far-fetched. Wyatt Lewis, you can't just link all bad things to us due to your prejudice."
It indeed seemed impossible.
However, Wyatt Lewis's suspicion wasn't baseless. According to the surveillance, Zoey Sanders headed towards the restroom, and Chloe Woods went in the same direction at the same time. Plus, with the matter of the competition, they might have met in the restroom, and something could have happened.
But these are only speculations without any solid evidence.
Now, a living person has just disappeared like this; it truly is baffling.
"It better not be," Wyatt Lewis said coldly and withdrew his gaze.
Emma let out a bitter laugh and couldn't help but say, "Wyatt Lewis, I'm only considering a family alliance with you for family interests, yet you keep presuming malice because you don't like me."
Wyatt Lewis was too lazy to continue talking to her.
Just then, Waylon Lewis arrived with Hope Williams and a few children, and Waylon threw the key he held to Wyatt Lewis.
"You take them back first; we'll stay and continue the search. Also, let mom and dad know not to worry."
Wyatt Lewis glanced at Hope and Aria, as well as the children, nodded, "Alright."
"I'll stay to help," Aria said.
"There are already so many people searching; we don't need you. You and Hope take the children back first. If there really is danger, we won't have to worry so much," Wyatt Lewis said.
Wyatt made sense. Given someone had already gone missing, if someone was indeed causing trouble, it would be better not to be distracted by the children and women.
"I'll get the car."
Emma and Chloe exchanged glances, and Emma directly said, "Seems we can't be much help here either, so we'll be going now. Hopefully, you'll find Miss Sanders soon."
With that said, Emma left with Chloe, and as they headed towards the parking lot, Emma pulled out her phone to send a message.
Hope and Aria, with Luke, Willow, and Baby, were waiting for Wyatt Lewis at the entrance, flanked by two bodyguards.
Wyatt Lewis's car pulled out of the parking lot and was about to head to the entrance to pick up Aria and the others.
Just then, a car from the opposite direction sped down the middle of the road.
Wyatt Lewis frowned, sensing that something was wrong with the speed of that car.
Soon, his instincts were confirmed as the car suddenly turned and rushed toward Aria and the others at high speed.
Wyatt gasped, "Shit!"
His car was still some distance from Aria and them, and he quickly accelerated toward that vehicle.
Hope and Aria's pupils contracted sharply, instinctively pulling the children back as fast as possible, while the bodyguards were quick to shield them.
"Ah!"
Just when they thought the car was heading directly for them, the next moment, it swiftly turned its nose away.
Hope and Aria, protecting the children, were just letting out a breath of relief when they saw the car and their hearts jumped again.
The driver in that car drove as if drunk, swaying uncontrollably and headed straight for Wyatt Lewis.
"Wyatt Lewis!"
Aria's eyes widened, staring intently at the car while rushing forward and shouting.
The speed of both cars was extremely fast, and if they collided head-on, the people inside wouldn't survive.
Right when they were about to collide.
Several people closed their eyes in fear.
In just three or four seconds, a loud "bang" was heard.
Hope tried hard to cover Luke and Willow's eyes, while Aria squeezed her eyes shut, collapsing to the ground in fright.
The sound of the violent car crash echoed continuously beside them.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
The surroundings fell silent, and Aria dared not open her eyes to see what was ahead.
Hope stood frozen there, feeling the blood freeze in her veins. She took several deep breaths and strained to open her eyes to clearly view the situation in front of her. After a few seconds, she stiffly reached out to tug on Aria on the ground, "Aria... Aria... Wyatt seems to be okay..."
Just when they thought the two cars would certainly collide, a red car suddenly surged from the side, slamming into the out-of-control vehicle. The black car was knocked off course and hit the wall beside them, while the red car stopped in the middle of the road due to the impact.
Wyatt Lewis quickly braked his car without any impact and, seeing the situation ahead, paled slightly.
