Cadoc opened the file , and with each page he read , his face darkened a little more . Since birth , Emma has been abandoned in the countryside . For over twenty years , her parents have nev- er visited her , nor have they provided any financial support . She can only rely on the meager savings of her grandparents to survive . When Emma was five years old , she fell ill with a high fever of 40 degrees . Her grandmother called for help in the middle of the night , but Zoey hung up the phone . The doctor said that if they had arrived ten minutes later , something terrible might have happened . Ella has a luxurious party for her birthday every year , while Emma doesn't even have a decent cotton coat . " Good , very good , Cadoc's voice was dangerously chilling as he slammed the file in the faces of the Jef- ferson family , " How could there be parents like you in this world ? " Dylan's face was stinging from being scratched by the paper , and he was still arguing , " We brought her into this world , raised her all this time , isn't that enough ? " " Raise her ? Cadoc grabbed Dylan's collar , " Every piece of clothing she wore before she turned eighteen was hand - me - downs from the neighbors ! What do you take her for ? A tool for a forced marriage ? " He suddenly let go of his hand and sternly said to the bodyguard , " Lock them up in the basement and take good care of them . Release them when they are willing to tell the truth . " " Cadoc ! How dare you ! Zoey screamed , " We are Emma's parents ! " Cadoc sneered , " Now you remember you're her parents ? " When the bodyguard roughly dragged away the two individuals , the study door was suddenly pushed open . Ella rushed in , her face pale : " Cadoc ! Are you crazy ? Let my parents go ! " Cadoc looked at her coldly : " You finally stopped pretending , Ella . " Ella froze for a moment , then screamed hysterically , " Yes ! I am Ella ! So what ?

Ella staggered back a few steps , covering her face in disbelief . " This slap was for your sister , Cadoc's eyes were fierce , " The Jefferson family , you people , are more disgusting than the other . " Ella suddenly burst into laughter : " Hahaha ... Cadoc , what are you pretending to be affectionate now ? How have you treated her in these three years ? Making her sleep in the guest room , bringing other women home , and even throwing her into the icy lake for Sophie ! " She narrowed her eyes maliciously and said , " Cadoc , stop pretending ! Do you really think you love my sister ? She left and you didn't even notice , you don't know her at all ! " Cadoc's breath caught in his throat , as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer . " Where is she ? he asked in a terrifyingly hoarse voice . " Ella wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled , " You will never find her again . " Cadoc suddenly grabbed her neck , but then suddenly released her when he saw her face turning purple . That was a face identical to Emma's . " Get lost , he turned around , his voice tired and cold , " Don't let me see you again . " Ella sat on the ground panting heavily , but still laughing , " You deserve it ... Cadoc ... " Cadoc did not look back . His phone suddenly vibrated , it was a text message from an unknown number . " Mr. Fitzgerald , we found a clue .
