After burying Alina, Zoe and Shelley returned, looking at the extra hill next to them, their bodies shuddered slightly, and then slowly walked to Rosemary's side.
From the moment Rosemary saw Alina fall in front of her eyes, her whole body was like stunned, not saying a word, just her eyes kept staring at the hill.
Shelley came over and was just about to speak when Fiona pulled her aside and lowered her voice and said, "Leave Rosemary alone." She needs a good Susan at the moment.
Turning her head to look at her, Shelley nodded and then said, "Alina's death has affected her sister-in-law a lot, let her be quiet for a while and then get some food for her later." She still had things to take care of.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of Rosemary."
Fiona knew she still had things to take care of, after all, they hadn't met up with Arthur and Alexander yet, and they didn't know how many people were hiding in the mountains, and now it was raining so hard that it was impossible to leave even if they wanted to.
Summer wanted to stay by Rosemary's side, thinking about that scene just now her whole heart was about to jump out, although in the end Rosemary was fine, but Alina died, which was a heavy blow to everyone.
Among so many people, perhaps only Fiona is the most calm, and she also knows that Alina must also know something.
She had heard her grandfather say before that she was not the only one of the seven hidden families who could divine, so the moment Alina handed her the purse, she already understood.
Thinking of this, Fiona excused herself to change clothes and came inside the tent, took out the purse Alina gave her and opened it to see a note sitting quietly inside, and when she saw the words on it, Fiona stumbled a few steps.
The note in his hand was squeezed tighter and tighter, and his hand subconsciously went to his chest.
Just then, suddenly a thing flew in from outside, and when she looked over, there was nothing but leaves looking up at the trees.
Fiona picked up the stone on the ground, only to see a note tied to it.
When I opened it, I saw that it read, "See you at 8:00 p.m. at Bluff Rock in the southeast," and it was addressed to Crystal.
Crystal?
Looking at the familiar handwriting on it, Fiona knew that it was Crystal's handwriting and was happy to know that she was here, but thinking about what had happened before her heart began to feel a little scared again.
Not afraid of what she might do to herself, but afraid that what she had guessed earlier was true.
"Brother, did you find out what those people are from?"
Although she had always known that there were people in the shadows protecting Rosemary, but what happened today it was clear that the other party was in a hurry to get here, and it looked like they had obviously planted a diversionary scheme, yet folded back.
"The Moore Family second youngest Lynch Moore."
As Zoe's words fell, Shelley asked with great uncertainty, "Which The Moore Family is it?"
It couldn't be The Moore Family that she knew about, could it?
"What other The Moore Family did you say besides that The Moore Family?"
"But hasn't The Moore Family always been our arch rival of The Tang Family? How could she be so kind as to step in and help us?"
"Isn't it in the tent? Just now she said her clothes were wet and went in to change."
"I've seen it and it's not there."
The words fell, Shelley jerked to her feet and hastily lifted the tent to see that it was indeed empty inside.
"It was just here, how come it's gone all of a sudden."
"Don't worry yet, Fiona is not reckless, she knows what she's in for at the moment."
Zoe tried to comfort Shelley, then with a wave of her hand she saw a dark guard appear from nowhere, and heard him say, "Miss Fiona just hurriedly went to the southeast towards Bluff Rock, do you need us to follow her?"
These dark guards were called by Zoe when she was in town for fear that something would happen if she came in and sent a temporary signal, and arrived just ten minutes ago, only without Zoe's orders, they were almost always hidden.
"Broken Cliff Rock?"
Zoe did see such a sign on the map earlier, which seemed not very far from here, but not close either, and just didn't understand what Fiona was doing there.
"No, you guys keep watching in the shadows, I'll go check it out myself."
"I'm going too!"
"I'll be fine on my own, you stay and protect the young lady, I'll be back soon."
