After watching the video, Sarah was surprised by what a big shock Judy had given her.
She was about to call Melvin when his call came through first.
"Melvin, I've already seen the video online," she said.
Melvin paused. "Sorry, I wasn't quick enough. But I'm not calling about that—it's something else."
Sarah felt uneasy. "What is it?"
"Judy Markers has disappeared."
Thinking of the woman's back covered in injuries that she'd just seen, Sarah said mockingly, "That video was probably made under duress."
"People always believe what they see. Even when the clues are right in front of them, they think they're Sherlock Holmes uncovering the truth, not realizing they're just being manipulated," Melvin said sarcastically.
But regardless, there was no point discussing this now.
Sarah's expression grew serious. "Melvin, I need you to find out where Judy is."
"I've already sent people to look for her. By the way, it looks like Vivian will be released soon."
"I always knew this day would come. We underestimated the Wilson family and... we underestimated Vivian." This woman had dominated the East Coast for so long—she wasn't to be taken lightly.
The video had stayed at the top of the trending list for a full hour after it was posted. Melvin had people working to suppress it, but the Wilson company was likely putting in even more effort to keep it trending.
In a secret room unknown to others, Judy looked at the old man in front of her with terror. "I've done and said everything you told me to. Can you let me go now?"
She was tied up, her body covered in bruises. She'd been kidnapped two days ago and hadn't been given any food or water—only beatings.
Before she could run even half a mile, the car caught up. Three men jumped out.
She screamed in terror, "He just said you'd let me go! What do you want?"
“Master never wastes time on useless talk. He said we'd let you go, but he never said you'd leave in one piece. When you make mistakes and say the wrong things, you have to pay a price. We'll be taking your tongue."
One man pulled out a knife from behind his back. The cold gleam flashed toward Judy's eyes.
"No! Please, no!"
The other two men walked up to Judy and seized her arms. "Don't move."
Having been starved for two days and nights, she had little strength left. The two men quickly pinned her to the ground.
