Police called Marshall, telling that they found Margaret in the early morning.
Marshall rushed upstairs to tell Katherine the news. She immediately got off the bed, “Where is she? I
am going to see her now.”
Without getting changed, she went to the police station in Marshall’s car with Kyle.
Margaret was not hurt, but terrified. In a sitting room, she looked tired.
Upon seeing Margaret in the sitting room, Katherine burst into tears, whispering sorry subconsciously.
Having cried before, Margaret was better now and she tried to comfort Katherine.
Glancing at Margaret, Marshall turned to leave the room.
Katherine asked what Margaret had experienced, but she cannot tell it clearly.
She had gone to the wash room yesterday, but was drugged. She knew nothing after that in a comma.
When she woke up on a hill, she was under a tree with no one around.
She was not tied up, so she tried to go down the hill. She walked so long until she met someone
She asked him for help and called the police.
So she cannot give more clues. She even had no idea about the gender of the person who drugged
her.
She stared at Katherine, “I am so confused. Who kidnapped me? I never messed someone up,”
However, Katherine just petted her, saying nothing.
In Katherine’s standpoint, Margaret was safe because the gang found they made mistakes. So they
abandoned her under a tree without hurting her.
Marshall came and said that they can leave now.
In front of Margaret, it’s not convenient to ask more, so they left.
They went to Katherine’s house and she hurried to the kitchen to cook.
Margaret’s parents had called her many times because she hadn’t return home yesterday.
Margaret gave a call to her family, telling that she had spent a night in Katherine’s house yesterday
because they ended up the party so late.
She had reported to her parents that she might return late because of the party, so she made it the
excuse.
her parents accepted the excuse without finding anything wrong.
After the supper, Kyle called someone to drive Margaret home.
With the three left in the house, Kyle turned to Marshall, “What’s going on? Do you get some clues?”
Shaking head, Marshall replied, “Nothing.”
The police got limited clues and Margaret didn’t get hurt. So they had to postpone this kidnapping thing
and turned to pay more attention to the serious cases.
Katherine came and asked, “So their target is me, right?”
Marshall cannot make sure, but she was supposed to be right.
On the sofa, Katherine lost in thoughts, “But I messed up nobody.”
Marshall spoke, “I asked my mother. It’s not her.”
Katherine also believed that it had nothing to do with Frances. After all, she knew well Frances, who
can never make such a sound kidnapping plan.
Kyle spoke up, “I think it’s Clara. The dress thing must have pissed her off.”
Katherine frowned and kind of disagreed.
Clara was not a fool, instead, she was way smart. She will set herself up if the police got any further
clues.
Katherine shook head slowly, “I don’t think so.”
“Why? I think it’s her.” Said Kyle directly, “She looks so innocent, but scheming in fact. From my point,
she must be an evil woman.”
Katherine glanced at Marshall, to see he lost in his own thoughts, as if he didn’t hear Kyle.
Kyle spoke ill of Clara, while Marshall didn’t speak up for her.
Then Kyle turned to Marshall, “What do you think of it? Do you suspect Clara?”
Marshall said, “I cannot make sure. I think we need more evidences.”
Kyle said nothing more.
Marshall soon went back to the company.
Before he left, Katherine said without looking to him, “Thanks for yesterday.”
Marshall turned to her, knowing she was talking to him. He nodded, “My pleasure.”
Both of them became polite to each other.
After Marshall left, Kyle also went back home.
Staying up all night long, Katherine got a headache. She went upstairs, threw herself to the bed and
closed eyes.
While Marshall put up the socks and began his work.
Peter on the way to the office happened to see Marshall back, and he walked to Marshall, “How is it?”
Marshall replied, “Margaret was found and she is fine.”
Peter took a sigh of relief, “That’s great. Who is behind it? Do the policemen catch the ringleader?”
Marshall didn’t give a reply, but returned to his office, with Peter following him.
He took seated and made an analysis of the whole thing.
Peter frowned, “Clara? I don’t think so. She is not so bold.”
Marshall nodded after a long while, “I agree with you. Clara didn’t have to do such things.”
What’s more, they hadn’t met each other for a long time.
A minute later, Peter hesitated to ask, “How about having a further investigation of her?”
Marshall nodded slowly, “Ok, Figure it out.”
Peter promised and left.
Looking tired, Marshall took his phone out, to see a text from Clara, telling that she was having dinner
with Frances tonight.
