Chapter 436: Chapter 437 The Snake Ate the Child_1
Purple Summers followed the others upstairs, but before she could arrive, she heard a woman’s shrill cry ahead—
“Where is my child?!” “Haven’t I told you to watch her all the time?!”
Camilla Farrell was on the verge of collapse.
The nanny was crying so hard that she could barely catch her breath: “I don’t know, I just went to the restroom… When I came back, she was gone! I really don’t know…”
The face of the bodyguard at the door was also extremely ugly as he said, “We’ve been guarding the door all along, and only Ms. Carlson came to deliver a meal.”
Jade Carlson’s eyes brimmed with tears, “Yes, the baby was fine then, how could she suddenly disappear? When I left, the baby was still sleeping on the bed.”
Mrs. Farrell, upon hearing that none of these people had a clue, felt darkness before her eyes and nearly fainted!
Her pregnancy had been difficult, and it was only in her middle age that she had finally managed to have a daughter whom she cherished and protected every day, only for her to disappear at the Summers’ house!
Dylan Summers also panicked. How could a living child just vanish into thin air!
This was the only daughter of the governor’s secretary! If the child were truly gone, Camilla Farrell would definitely hate the Summers Family to death! His entire day of brown-nosing would have been for nothing, not to mention his career aspirations to forget about! He might even have to face an investigation!
He immediately supported Camilla Farrell and said, “Mrs. Farrell, don’t worry, your child won’t be lost, we will definitely help you find her! I, I will call the security guard right away to seal off this area, we’ll check the surveillance!”
It was at this moment that Nathaniel Summers walked into the room, his voice steady, “The front and back doors have already been covered by someone, and in such a short time, the child should be nearby, now we can’t panic, let’s first see if there are any clues—”
Before Nathaniel Summers could finish, Jade Carlson suddenly let out a scream!
“Why is the window open?”
Jade Carlson, who had walked to the window at some point, noticed that it was half-open, with a chilly breeze coming through. However, everyone had been focused on Mrs. Farrell, so no one had paid attention to it.
“When I left, the window was clearly closed.” Jade Carlson leaned out the window to look around and screamed again, “Ah! What is this?!”
She picked up something from the windowsill, her expression frantic as she turned to Mrs. Farrell, “Madam, this, this is… it seems to be snake scales.”
“What did you say?” Camilla Farrell was unable to think anymore; her head pounded as if being hammered, buzzing with noise.
With a tearful voice, Jade Carlson shouted, “Madam, it’s a snake! Purple Summer’s python has been in this room!”
Jade Carlson’s words fell like a huge stone into a lake, causing horrifying ripples to spread.
Everyone’s expression changed.
The room fell into deathly silence, the atmosphere oppressively tense to the utmost.
Camilla Farrell was completely dazed.
Her blood seemed to have stopped flowing, her limbs turned cold and stiff, and her tongue was as heavy as stone: “Are you saying… the python, ate… my child?”
As she spoke, Camilla Farrell stiffly turned her neck to search for Purple Summers amid the crowd.
Many were gathered at the door, and she didn’t know which one was Purple. However, at that moment, everyone’s gaze was converging on one girl.
Camilla Farrell stared at her intently.
In her eyes, a ferocious crimson slowly emerged, as if she were looking at her nemesis!
Purple Summers met Mrs. Farrell’s bloodthirsty gaze and said indifferently, “My snake has been locked in the room all along; it couldn’t have gotten out.”
So calm as to seem indifferent!
If it had been any other situation, people might have thought her composed demeanor showed the grace of high society, but now that a child was missing! Purple Summers still had this nonchalant attitude, which only made people think she was cold-blooded!
Nathaniel Summers slightly shielded Purple with his body, worried that Mrs. Farrell might do something extreme. He tried to defuse the situation, “Could there be some misunderstanding here? The snake is kept in the backyard; it shouldn’t have come here.”
