Chapter 249 Ms. Garcia Is Dead

Almost in an instant, Darlene, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, disappeared.

Gustave even felt that the scene of Darlene standing there just now was just an illusion.

The wind and the sound of rain and snow made the top of the mountain even more silent.

Gustave’s eyes were red as he pounced over.

He looked down and saw that Darlene, who had been surrounded by the bottomless fog, had alreadydisappeared.

He let out a desperate roar, and his chest seemed to have been torn open without warning. The coldwind carrying the snow poured into his chest.

The chill and pain instantly penetrated his limbs and bones, and he seemed to be unable to feelanything.

At this moment, he was incomparably conscious that Darlene would not live when she fell off such ahigh cliff, under which was a bottomless sea. This time, no one could save her. No one could save herin time.

In the middle of the night, when the clock just crossed zero, a new year began. This was the momentthat symbolized new life and wonderfulness, but her life ended here.

His eyes almost split open as he looked down at the endless cliff. He fell off, and his fingers dug deepinto the mud and snow.

The moment his body was about to fall down, the person behind him quickly came over and grabbedhim.

Darnell grabbed his arm with a pained expression and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Walpole, calm down.It’s more important to save her now. If something happens to you, you will only divert the police’sattention and lower the hope of Ms. Garcia being saved.”

Gustave looked at him with despair in his eyes. “This is a cliff, and there is a deep sea below. We can’tsave her.”

It was impossible for something that happened ten years ago to happen again.

Back then, Darlene was only twelve years old. She fell from the cliff into the sea and happened to meetGustave in the early morning and just happened to be saved in a very short period.

Even if that was the case, Darlene and he could still be considered to have narrowly escaped fromdanger.

But now, Darlene had fallen into such a vast sea. Even if there were many police officers below, howcould there be officers who happen to be guarding the place where she had fallen and save her at soonas possible?

Moreover, it was winter now. The sea was freezing cold. Even if she would not be swept away by thewaves, it would not take long for her to suffocate to death.

Gustave stumbled to his feet. Even if he knew that the hope was slim, there was no other choice now.

He looked at the police and bodyguards who rushed over. His voice was so hoarse that it was difficultto distinguish. “Quick, quickly go down and search. Go and save her.”

This search continued all night.

When the sky turned bright, nothing was found.

More and more police officers and bodyguards rushed over, and rescue boats also began to rush over.The search had never stopped, and the range kept increasing, but it was useless.

Tom was exhausted, and he had to tell the Swale family and Gustave a fact. “The sea has been a littleturbulent from last night until today. When she fell into such a sea, she would not be able to survive formore than an hour.”

To be precise, it should be impossible to survive for half an hour.

It was already five o’clock in the morning, and it had been more than five hours since

Darlene had fallen into the sea.

The possibility of her being alive was infinitely close to zero.

The beach was soft and damp, and it was vast around.

Dakota fell on the beach and let out an extremely painful cry. She got up and knelt in front of Tom. “Ibeg you, please! Please save my daughter.

“The Swale family has let her down. She hasn’t had a good day for so many years. She can’t have anaccident like this. She can’t

Tom looked helpless. “Mrs. Swale, get up quickly. The search has been going on. Don’t worry. Nomatter what, we won’t stop until we replace your daughter.”

On the outskirts of the city, in an abandoned factory…

It was already o o’clock. On the empty ground of the abandoned factory sat a young woman with herhands and feet tied up. Her face was filled with panic and unease.

Avery sat in front of her and looked at the phone in his hand that did not receive any messages or callsat all.

He said in a deep voice, “It’s been so long. I’m afraid Nathen won’t come to save you. It seems that youare valueless.”

As he spoke, he looked at the bodyguard beside him. “Break one of her hands, take a photo, and sendit to Nathen. Tell him that if he doesn’t come in ten minutes, he will see her other hand broken…”

Kelly had never seen such a scene before. She was so scared that her whole body trembled and herface went pale.

She trembled and said, “Don’t, don’t touch me. He will definitely come and save me. I will call himagain. He must have not heard it clearly just now…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the man outside the door said in a gloomy voice, “Let her go. Mr.Gallard, tell me what you want.”

Avery was fiddling with his phone. When he heard this, he paused and looked at the man who wasbeing escorted in by the bodyguards.

If the comer was not Nathen, who else could it be?

Avery’s worry finally subsided.

Kelly was still useful. Nathen was still alive. Now that he had come over, this meant that Darlene couldbe saved.

A joy that could not be concealed emerged in his eyes. He remembered that after Nathen washypnotized, he only mistook someone else for Darlene. He had not lost any other memories.

Therefore, it was not strange that Nathen still knew him now.

As he winked at Cyrus, he maintained his expression and said to Nathen, “You’re here.”

Cyrus understood and immediately secretly used his phone to take a video when Nathen wasapproaching. Then he quickly took his phone and went outside.

Now, every second mattered. He wanted to send this video to Gustave immediately to stabilizeDarlene’s mood.

Cyrus immediately sent the video over, but there was no response from Gustave.

He felt that it was a little strange. He called, but the person who answered was Darnell.

Before Cyrus could speak, Darnell’s indifferent voice came. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gallard,but it’s pointless now.

Ms. Garcia jumped into the sea and died.”
