Trapped In Lace

After giving it a careful thought, Emma still couldn't figure out whether Rachel had heard them or not. Then Rachel moved forward, so Emma followed her.

She didn't stop following Rachel until they reached the second floor. But since only a few people were going upstairs, she decided to stop following her.

No one knew that she was following Rachel.

But if she continued to follow her, it might become obvious and people might notice it.

After hesitating for a while, Emma eventually decided to stop following Rachel. She also didn't mean to stand there waiting like a guard.

So when Rachel was out of her sight, she turned around and left.

However, she didn't expect that she would run into Jack, who was also looking for Rachel.

Emma didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly told Jack that Rachel went upstairs.

It was only later that she realized she did something stupid.

At this moment, she needed to be more cautious. She reminded herself to be more careful of her words. No one should know that she was secretly following Rachel, especially Jack.

Otherwise, Jack would never let go of her until he found out the reason why she was following Rachel.

So Emma didn't say anything except that she saw Rachel going upstairs. But Jack continue

his stepfather. With hands in his pockets, he asked arrogantly, "What's the matter?"

He looked rather unfriendly.

Howard Wu frowned and waved at him. "Come here, please."

Mark Chu grew impatient. He urged, "Can't you just tell me what happened? I'm busy right now so stop wasting my time."

Mark Chu didn't mind the other people in the room. Apparently, he was provoking Howard Wu without scruple.

Howard Wu was embarrassed by his behavior.

Before he could say anything, Jack said quickly, "I just want to ask if you have seen a woman on the second floor around seven o'clock. She's wearing a champagne dress, and she has long curly hair."

Mark Chu looked at the ceiling as if trying to recall something. Then his face slightly changed.

Jack's heart throbbed upon seeing the sudden change in his expression. He continued, "I am referring to my wife. She has been missing for a few hours now, but her purse and cellphone were on the second floor. Do you know anything about it?"

Jack talked in a very polite manner. Mark Chu slowly took his hands out of his pockets, put them on his chest, and bowed his head. His face looked very serious.

Howard Wu thought that his stepson had probably seen Rachel because he was the only one who went upstairs at that time.
