The Parks family?
How was that possible? If what happened to Juliet and Rosemary was caused by the Parks family, what was their purpose?
If they wanted to deal with the Herrera family, there was no need for them to use such despicable means.
Moreover, how could Juliet be related to the Parks family?
My heart skipped a beat at the thought of this.
I was quite confused. I didn't know what exactly had happened, but I was sure that this matter was definitely related to Austin.
If I hadn't given him 10 million dollars, would Rosemary still be alive? Juliet wouldn't be taken to the ICU.
Sophina saw that I was staggering and hurriedly helped me sit to the side. "Laurel, what's wrong?"
"Go and see what's going on," I ordered in a low voice with a frown.
Since she didn't move for a long time, I urged her again, "Just do it. Don't worry. I'm fine."
Sophina nodded and turned to leave.
Marvin called me as soon as he received the news.
Through what Sophina heard and what Marvin knew, I roughly sorted out the case.
Rosemary was taken away by a man wearing black clothes, a hat, and a mask. He was about 5.9 feet tall.
The kidnapper was most likely someone Rosemary knew because she did not call for help when he appeared in the ward.
However, the police could not rule out the possibility that she had been threatened or drugged.
She did not take the initiative to leave with the kidnapper.
Moreover, after the man took Rosemary away, he sent Kayden a message to extort 10 million dollars.
However, Kayden did not have that much money on hand.
That was why he went back to the Herrera Manor to borrow money from Raphael.
Rosemary was just an adopted daughter, so Raphael naturally did not agree to give Kayden the money.
The reason was simple. If he did give Kayden 10 million dollars, the Herrera family would be in danger at any time in the future.
No one had expected the prestigious Herrera family in Newton City to be threatened. It was simply a suicidal move.
Alex had sent his men to look for Rosemary at the first possible moment. He even asked the Lambert family's son, Damian, to help find Rosemary.
However, unexpectedly, they found a female corpse by the moat the next day. Moreover, they found Rosemary's personal identification on the corpse. More importantly, the dead's appearance was very similar to Rosemary's.
Because the body had been submerged in the sea for the entire night, the police immediately mistook the deceased for Rosemary.
After another round of verification, they realized that it was not Rosemary.
However, Rosemary's documents were all on the deceased, so the police were sure that the deceased was probably an accomplice of the kidnapper.
As for the identity of the deceased, it was still under investigation.
What Rosemary and Juliet did was discovered. After investigation, it was found that Juliet had secretly hired private detectives to help investigate Rosemary's whereabouts.
When she got Rosemary's location, she rushed over.
Unexpectedly, she really found Rosemary in a house in the countryside. In the end, not only did she not save Rosemary, but she was also kidnapped.
Unexpectedly, when the kidnapper found out that the Herrera family had prepared 10 million dollars but called the police at the same time, he directly chose to silence Rosemary and Juliet.
The reason why Juliet was able to escape death was because the private detective had rushed over at the last moment and saved her life.
However, the kidnapper had escaped.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the case, but there were actually too many loopholes.
Even the people sent by Alex and Damian could not find Rosemary's whereabouts. How could a mere private detective find her?
"Aunt Laurel, I'll return this check to you first." Austin walked up to me and handed the check to me. His eyes were red as if he had been crying.
I took the check and looked at him deeply. Austin must know something, but even if I asked him now, he would definitely not tell me anything.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned the check to me in front of everyone in the hospital.
He clearly wanted to tell me that he didn't owe me anything from now on.
The so-called deal was also written off.
I took the check and nodded, but I couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
I supposed Rosemary's death was exactly what Austin and Amanda wanted.
If not for the fact that they did not have the guts to kill her, I would even suspect that the two of them had eliminated Rosemary.
After all, only Juliet, Rosemary, and Austin knew about the relationship between Austin and Rosemary.
I guessed Amanda hadn't received the video Juliet sent her. Otherwise, with her personality, she would never have given Rosemary the chance to get close to Austin.
She might have only learned from Juliet that Austin and Rosemary had an ambiguous relationship.
Of course, Amanda must have also noticed something amiss. She must have noticed that Rosemary had been pestering Austin.
Austin had always listened to Amanda. Presumably, in order to successfully marry into the Parks family, he deliberately kept a distance from Rosemary.
Naturally, he agreed to his family's decision to send Rosemary overseas.
However, no one expected that Rosemary, who had been forced into a corner, would actually go to Kailyn for help.
Kailyn? The Park family?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shiver.
Could Rosemary's death be related to Kailyn?
At that moment, Aloysius and Alex, who were walking in, revealed puzzled expressions when they saw Austin handing the check to me.
At the same time, Austin turned around and looked at the two people behind him. He paused for a moment and said, "Uncle Alex, thank you for asking Aunt Laurel to send me the money. I just didn't expect that it was still too late."
I was stunned for a moment. Austin clearly wanted Alex to misunderstand our relationship.
He just distanced himself from me by saying he no longer owed me anything, and now he wanted to sow discord.
At that moment, I couldn't help but be curious. Was that sunny, handsome, and kind Austin really the boy I knew?
Had he changed, or had I never really known him well enough?
"Wait. Alex, didn't you already take out 10 million dollars? Why did you ask..." Aloysius stopped mid-sentence.
Then, I cleared my throat awkwardly and smiled helplessly. "Your uncle gave me this money for emergencies. I just didn't expect that it still couldn't save Rosemary's life."
Austin clearly did not believe that Alex would ask me to give him the money.
He deliberately turned to look at Alex with a grateful expression. "Thank you, Uncle Alex."
If it weren't for the fact that this wasn't a good time to laugh, I would have laughed out loud.
Actually, I had never thought of hiding this matter from Alex. I was just thinking about what I should do to let the Herrera family know that Alex had given me such a large sum of money.
Unexpectedly, Austin gave me such a good opportunity.
How was that possible? If what happened to Juliet and Rosemary was caused by the Parks family, what was their purpose?
If they wanted to deal with the Herrera family, there was no need for them to use such despicable means.
