Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 560 It’s A Trap

As soon as they arrived at the scene, they saw that the road to the nearby mountain was closed off. The guardrail was shattered, and pieces of the car’s bumper and headlights were scattered on the ground. Tammy kept her fists clenched as she looked down at the cliff, and Alicia stood beside her. Then Dominic approached Tammy and handed her a bottle of water. “Have some water, Tammy. There is still hope for us. Your brother will be alright.”

Tammy did not drink the water. Instead, she stood there as still as a statue. A while later, Many people came to the accident site to help

“Tammy!” Peace yelled as soon as she stepped out of the car

Having come back to her senses, Tammy returned her gaze. At the sight of Peace, she threw herself into Peace’s arms and sobbed

Peace then stroked her hair and comforted her. “I’m so sorry, dear

He’ll be just fine.” At the moment, Peace’s eyes were red as she spoke because she cried the entire way there

Later, both Karl and Andrew arrived. Looking rather anxious, Karl asked the rescue team, “You guys still can’t find him?”

One of the members of the rescue team shrugged and said, “We can’t go down there by helicopter because the cliff is too deep and the terrain is too complicated. Only the most primitive method, rock climbing, is available. We tried several times, but we all failed. It’s too difficult to climb down there, and the cliff face is covered in ice.”

“So, what are we supposed to do?” Karl asked

Meanwhile, Tammy couldn’t stop crying, which made Peace even

559 It’s A Trap A more anxious. She asked the rescuers, “So you’re going to stand here and do nothing the whole time? Then why did you guys come here?”

“Calm down, honey!” Karl immediately said Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I’m his godmother, and it’s my job to keep him safe. How can I explain to Anna if something happens to Matthew?” Peace started crying

“Let me do it!” Suddenly, a woman said with determination. Peace stopped crying right away. When she turned around and saw who was coming, her eyes widened. “Emily!”

Emily approached Peace and asked, “Are you all right?”

Tammy cried harder when she saw Emily. She said, “Aunt Emily! Thank God you’re here!”

Emily wiped the tear on Tammy’s face gently. “Don’t cry, sweetie

There are many people here. Your parents would be heartbroken if they knew how sad you were. Don’t worry. I’ll save your brother right now.”

After that, Emily turned around and approached the rescue team at the cliff’s edge. “How’s it going?” she asked

“His car crashed off the cliff. We couldn’t hold the climbing spikes up because the cliff is icy and slippery. We can only go halfway down the mountain.”

Before starting to remove her jacket, Emily looked at the survey results. “Give me the rescue suit and the rope,” she said

“What?” the rescue team leader asked, surprised

“Give it to her,” Ryan commanded. He then showed the team leader his badge

“Mr. Tyler, hello,” the captain said right away

“Hello. You can give her the rope now.”

“Got it.”

Emily had been trained as a special forces soldier and excelled at rock climbing. The rescue team members required rock climbing spikes to safely get down this cliff. She was, however, able to go down with her bare hands. The other rescue team members gathered around and stared in awe at Emily. While Emily was climbing down, the data tester kept reporting the length of the rope going down deep. “Twenty meters… Now thirty meters…”

“Captain, who is she? She’s awesome!”

“She’s probably a subordinate of Mr. Tyler,” the captain said, scratching his head

“Actually, she’s Mr. Tyler’s boss,” Karl explained

“How come?”

“She’s Mrs. Tyler.”

Hearing that, the captain began shivering. He nervously asked one of his team members, “You just double-checked everything, didn’t you? Are you sure that the ropes are secure?”

“I’m sure it’s safe,” said one of the team members

“Mrs. Tyler herself went down there? Who was the one who fell off the cliff?”

“Mr. Tyler’s nephew,” Karl replied

Realizing that, the captain was on the verge of passing out. The entire rescue team stood nervously on the cliff’s edge. They were worried about Emily the entire time, even wishing they were on the cliff themselves

And at the same time, Tammy clung to Peace, nearly crying her eyes out. Then Peace carried her to the car and left her to rest

“Where’s Wayne?” Peace asked after closing the car door, “I dialed his

559 It’s ATrap A number, but he did not answer my calls.”

Without answering her question, Karl pulled Peace to the side

“What? What happened to him? Does he even care about Matthew?” With a darkened face, Peace snapped

“Shh, keep your voice down. Don’t let Tammy hear what you’re saying,” Looking at Tammy warily, Karl made a shush gesture to Peace and said in a low voice

As Karl lowered his voice, Peace lowered her voice, too. She asked, “What exactly is going on?”

“He should be on the plane by now,” Karl said quietly

“What? Where is he going?!”

Karl responded when looking up at the sky and saying, “Fleosil. His plane has been in the air for two hours. Wayne flew to Fleosil this afternoon without telling anyone because he didn’t want us to go to the airport to see him off. Who would’ve expected Matthew to have an accident at such a critical time?”

An hour later, Emily said over the intercom, “I’ve found the car.”

Hearing that, everyone felt relieved. Then Ryan asked, “How’s Matthew?”

“I don’t know. No one is in the car.”

“Where is he?” Clenching the intercom more tightly, Ryan asked nervously

“I have no idea.”

The next morning, the headlines read, “Carousel Group CEO Falls Off Cliff, Missing.” In the morning, the anchor of the local morning news told the public about it

“How could he have vanished?” Karl asked, perplexed. At that time, he and his friends were staying in a hotel near the accident site

Peace appeared to be very worried. “Is it possible that Matthew survived the fall and left on his own?”

“It can’t be. Emily went down to find him, and she couldn’t be wrong

After all, they’ve already brought his car up here and there’s still no sign of Matthew.”

“That’s not what I meant! Why are you misinterpreting my words?” Peace asked furiously. When Peace saw Emily walk out of the bathroom, she said, “Emily, you know that’s not what I meant. I’m just… Sigh… I just want Matthew to be okay.”

Emily nodded, “I get it. Actually, I am as anxious as you are.”

“Peace, I think you’re right. I’ve always thought the accident might not be as simple as it seems,” Andrew abruptly said

Then everyone stared at him in surprise. Under their gaze, Andrew continued calmly, “He was in his car when he fell off the cliff. Since the car was there, Matthew should be there as well. So, how could it be?”

“What?”

“No one would have known where Matthew had gone if Tammy hadn’t called him. When I asked the employees at the venue, they said Matthew went to the finish line on the spur of the moment. So…”

“So what? Don’t keep us guessing.” Peace expressed concern

“They wanted to divert our attention with this accident. In fact, Matthew may not have even been in the car at the time the car drove off the cliff,” Emily said
