Chapter 869: Chapter 869 Double Blow_1
Atra Blanc’s disappearance was the second heavy blow to Purple Sumrs.
In this world, there were few people she cared about, yet she kept losing them, and she didn’t even know why. Besides her bewildered conjectures, all that remained was anxious waiting.
She was utterly powerless about everything that had happened!
Purple’s nerves were stretched to their limit. She couldn’t go to school and spent her days at ho, staring blankly at Atra’s empty closet.
Aria Jackson wouldn’t allow her to sink into depression and dragged her out for drinks.
“You need to understand, she left of her own free will,” Aria advised. “She’s an adult capable of making her own decisions, where she wants to go, who she wants to follow, it’s her freedom, Purple, you don’t have to bla yourself for this!”
Purple stared at the fine bubbles in the chilled beer, silent.
Aria continued, “She packed her bags and walked out on her own, nobody forced her, right? She lied to you and checked into a hotel by herself, nobody forced her, right? She left the hotel with Clyde Sumrs, and again, nobody forced her, right?”
Purple said in a low voice, “Aria, believe , there’s no way she would have voluntarily gone with Clyde. I don’t know how to explain it now, but Clyde… this person, he must have used so thod to coerce Atra!”
Aria sighed helplessly.
“The last thing traffic monitoring captured of them was at the highway entrance – at least there’s no sign in the photos that she was being coerced…”
“She’s timid,” Purple said, frowning, “She’s the kind of person who can be easily intimidated by a few words. It doesn’t take a knife at her throat to consider it coercion!”
Purple looked up at Aria, “Can we find out where they went by checking the license plate number?”
Aria shook her head, “Already checked. The plate number was fake, the car was just an ordinary Volkswagen. Once they left the highway and switched plates, nobody knows where they went.”
Purple felt her heart sinking endlessly, utterly oppressed.
If Clyde took Atra beyond the Wheatley jurisdiction, even Gavin Graves would probably have a hard ti tracing them…
“I know you might not want to hear this, but…” Aria took a drink and said, “One person packed her bags in advance and ran to a hotel, the other prepared fake plates and a car in advance. After eting, they left together. In such a missing persons case, any officer in charge would believe it was a planned elopent. Purple, eloping isn’t against the law, and the police can’t do anything about it.”
Purple opened her mouth to argue, but Aria spoke again, “I know you’re anxious, but anxiety is useless, at least for now it doesn’t seem like Clyde intends to harm her. However, with both of them missing, you really should think about how to cover this up, because if even a hint of this gets out…”
If even a hint of this got out, even if Atra were found later, odds are she’d have no face to return!
Purple took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I’ll move out of the Sumrs Residence. The people of the Sumrs Family will just think that Atra moved away with ; they won’t suspect anything.”
With both Clyde and Atra missing, if they don’t co back for a long ti, it will inevitably lead to gossip among the servants. Purple didn’t want to hear any of that speculation.
Purple decided to move out as quickly as possible.
Cedric Spencer found her a house, coincidentally a place she had visited before—the residence of Judge Douglas.
Norman Douglas publicly claid to be taking his son on a world trip. In reality, they were seeking psychotherapy abroad. The psychiatrist recomnded more companionship and listening, and suggested them to change the environnt. Therefore, even if they returned to their country in the future, they wouldn’t continue living in the sa house.
The garden villa of Norman Douglas was spacious and beautiful. Although it lacked a man-made lake and was not as large as the Sumrs Residence, it was still undoubtedly an enviable mansion.
The very next day, Purple moved into the villa along with her pet snake.
However, she couldn’t take Tiny with her. It was still incubating its eggs, not leaving the nest every day. Even after the eggs hatched, Tiny would have to take care of its newborns. Purple could only give up the idea.
