Chapter 219: Nora! is Culprit?
"We have searched everywhere. We didn’t see her." a student came running breathlessly and informed the teachers. Many others returned one after one but they all shook their heads. The teachers looked uneasy by now.
"Should we inform the local authorities?" asked the teacher with an ashen face. She was on the verge of crying.
"They would not do anything until twenty four hours. It had only been two hours by now. Let’s keep looking. Perhaps, she had gone to local market to buy souvenirs for her friends." the teacher knew that it was a false hope. But she still nodded. A teacher with a few students had already gone to the market to look for Penny there.
When they saw Nora returning, they asked in an urgent tone. "Nora, did you find any trace?"
"Do you not think that her bed was awfully clean and tidy as if it was not used last night?" Before Nora could reply, Kane cut them with a frown.
The teachers frowned looking at him. "Even the brush and other toilieters of hers are still lying neatly in her bag. Nora where were you last night?" he took a step forward and confronted her in an icy tone.
Everyone turned to look at Nora confused.
"Kane! Behave!" but Kane ignored the yelling of the teachers. He stared coldly at Nora.
"You took her somewhere last night, have you not?" The question stunned everyone. Their hearts palpitated. "Others did not know but I do. You both are cousins with a deep rift between them. Last night, you had an argument with her and you.." the boy did not continue but everyone’s mind was wandering.
