Chapter 24 -24: The Noble Shrew
Scarlett Garrison saw the expression on Gideon Silva’s face and reminded him, “Miss Silva has been missing for about ten minutes. We can basically conclude that the perpetrator acted within the villa area. That person should also live here.”
Now, the search area had shrunk to its smallest.
Gideon Silva found himself in a predicament.
The villa area had been their home for five or six years. Being a high-end complex, there weren’t many residents, and he had seen most of them. The Silva Family hadn’t offended anyone, it seemed.
As he thought of this, he saw a team of patrol cars stop in front of the Silva Family villa, and a person stepped out of the leading car, walking straight toward them.
“Before Little Lili had her accident, I already checked those in the community who could be suspects. It shouldn’t be anyone who holds a grudge against the Silva Family.”
The man’s voice was gentle yet carried a chilly undertone. Under the light, it was clear that he shared the handsome features of Gideon Silva, tall and upright, staring quietly at Scarlett Garrison.
This was evidently the other son of the Silva Family, Andrea Silva’s brother, Bryson Silva.
Andrea Silva, at first, was not called Andrea Silva. As a child, she was so clingy to Bryson Silva that she wanted the same things he had, even the same name. The family had no choice but to change her name to something similar.
After Little Lili’s incident, Bryson Silva had been busy outside. He knew his parents had invited Miss Jennings over, though he didn’t have high hopes. Nevertheless, he stayed in touch with the family and learned all the details.
Seeing Scarlett Garrison caught him slightly off guard at first.
He knew she was Donovan Jennings’s sister but didn’t expect her to look so young.
Following closely behind Scarlett Garrison, Donovan Jennings also saw Bryson Silva. Though the two families were acquainted, he wasn’t very familiar with Bryson Silva, and they merely exchanged nods in greeting.
Little Lili was clearly delighted to see her brother return, wanting to jump into his arms but worried about ruining the magic on her hands. She looked at her brother eagerly, taking small, cautious steps toward him.
Seeing Little Lili unharmed, Bryson Silva visibly relaxed a bit, but he knew the matter wasn’t over, so he invited everyone into the car.
A line of seven patrol cars nearly borrowed all the patrol cars from the property management.
The convoy drove mightily through the villa area.
Soon, guided by the red string, they finally stopped in front of a four-story villa. The moment they saw the place, Mrs. Silva was utterly incredulous.
“How could it be here?”
Scarlett Garrison saw Mrs. Silva indeed recognized the place and just turned her head to look at her.
Mrs. Silva gritted her teeth and said, “This is the Patterson Family. Originally, we had no interaction, but their child is one of the few willing to play with Little Lili nearby…”
Little Lili had the appearance of an adult, and the other children rejected her, considering her foolish, unwilling to play with her. But the little boy from the Patterson Family never minded, often coming over to invite Little Lili out to play.
Because of this, the two families became somewhat close, and the Silva Family, in gratitude, even introduced business opportunities to the Patterson Family.
Mrs. Silva couldn’t believe that it was this family that wanted Little Lili’s life!
How could it not break her heart?
“Has any elder or someone in the Patterson Family been sick recently?” Scarlett Garrison suddenly asked, adding, “One of those about to die.”
“The old lady of the Patterson Family has always been healthy.” Mrs. Silva murmured, then suddenly said, “But the child who plays with Little Lili was said to have some illness and was sent to the hospital recently.”
