Upon hearing the mention of men in ck from the maid, Sophie immediately thought of the members of The Silent Shadows.
Could it be that The Silent Shadows had taken notice of Jenna, and that was why they had taken her away?
"Why are you all here?"
Among them, Sophie was the calmest.
Tears streaming down his face, Tim said, "It was thedy! Thedy led us here! She said this ce wouldn''t be discovered, but who knew those men in ck woulde storming in. The leader spoke to thedy about something, and then ordered his men to take both thedy and Ms. Jenna away!"
"Why would thedy bring you here?"
"Thedy said this ce would be safer, so she brought us here."
As Tim lowered his head, Sophie continued, "Did you all know that Ms. Jenna was hidden by thedy?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of Tim and Marian instantly changed.
"You both were in the vi that night, you knew when Wesley came back, how could you not know where Jenna went? Especially since Jenna was on the second floor that evening, butter hidden in the basement''s secret room. Tim, you said you were downstairs the whole night, it''s impossible you didn''t see Jenna. What exactly happened that night?"Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
The atmosphere visibly tensed up in response to Sophie''s questioning.
Finally, Marian spoke up, "It was thedy''s wish."
"My mom?"
Adler was stunned.
In his memory, his mother had always been a nurturing figure and often seemed confused.
How could she possibly kidnap Jenna?
Seeing Adler''s reaction, Tim and Marian lowered their heads.
Marian said, "Young master, please don''t me thedy. She didn''t want to feign ignorance, but she had to. If thedy didn''t y the fool, she might have been killed by the master long ago!"
Sophie asked, "The hints you gave me about the kidnapping case from twenty years ago, that was May''s doing, wasn''t it?"
"Yes... Thedy couldn''t tell you
these things directly. Except for me and Tim, there were eyes on thedy everywhere in the house. The
master didn''t trust ourdy, but nex
fortunately, those people were called away at night, and we were able to sessfully hide Ms. Jenna."
"Why did you have to hide Jenna?" Sophie frowned. "There should have been a more appropriate way for thedy." "There was no better way."
Marian shook his head, "Thedy has been trapped in this household for most of her life, confined within its walls, unable to speak out even if she wanted to, especially when the young master wasn''t home. The reason for hiding Ms. Jenna was because thedy could see how much the young master cared for Ms. Jenna. She knew that if Ms. Jenna disappeared, the young master would definitely search for her, and then all clues would lead directly to the Tredgold family. Thedy said you all were clever
children. The main thing was to give you clues, and you would uncover the problems..."
Maria
At this point, Marian''s face showed a trace of sorrow, "We just didn''t expect that when we tried to leave the Tredgold family under the cover of night with Ms. Jenna, we would be abducted by those men im ck..."
"Do you... not know who those men in ck are?"
