Chapter 359: Crushed Soul
Tracie arrived at the Clark mansion, looking troubled and vexed as she pulled her luggage behind her.
Kael noticed the mood his sister was in and immediately helped her inside.
"You look like a ticking time bomb. What happened to you?" He asked. None of their parents were at home so the house was quieter than usual. "Also, why are you back? I thought you were going to watch Fiona until she finally confessed whatever she knew?" He asked.
"Wait? Well, guess what? I’ve lost my patience!" Tracie’s fists trembled with fury as she recalled her previous encounter with Fiona. She had begged, time and time again, for the woman to share any information she had, but Fiona had stubbornly refused to say a word. "Every single day, I pleaded with her to tell me something, but she wouldn’t budge. Now, I’m starting to believe she doesn’t know anything at all. So, instead of wasting my time watching her, I came back home. Nothing good is going to come out of chasing her for answers."
She stomped into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water from the refrigerator, gulping it down to cool her temper.
"B-but—"
"Fiona doesn’t know anything," she concluded.
"What if she’s scared to talk?"
"I’ve offered her protection if the threat will come from her family but nothing...nothing at all. Her lips are sealed, and no matter what, she’s not going to say anything."
Kael wanted to convince Tracie but realized she may have a point. If Fiona wanted to speak, she could have spoken a long time ago.
It has been nearly a year since Anastasia went missing. Everyone thinks she’s dead despite not seeing her dead body.
