Hapter 477


    Chapter 477


    Charles, inspired by Matthew’sposure, began to analyze the situation. “In a town like this, with


    so many empty houses and more


    e men than women, a hairpin like this wouldn’t just be dropped by chance!”


    Matthew added, “Plus, this hairpin looks like it just fell. If it had dropped yesterday, it would’ve been


    washed away by the rain. Since it’s still here, she must’vee this way recently.”


    Charles couldn’t help but admire Matthew’s precise reasoning. His sharp thinking was something


    else.


    Charles asked cautiously, “Sir, do you think this hairpin belongs to Mrs. Grani?“


    Matthew nodded gravely. That’s very likely”


    Matthew examined the hair clip in his hand, noting its style unfamiliar to him but typical of Valerie’s


    taste. The button attached to it intrigued him, Irading him to hand it over to one of his subordinates


    for further investigation. He immediately instructed everyone to follow this new lead and continue


    searching along this path.


    They followed the trail right imo the heart of a mountain


    Matthew followed the tracks all the way here. Suddenly, his heart tightened, and a strong sense of


    unease washed over him. Frowning, he quickly made his way up a nearby narrow path, Charles,


    rmed, called out, “Mr. Grant, why are you going that way? It’s dangerous!”


    “Don’t hold me back. Get an ambnce ready? Matthew climbed up the mountain hastily,

    On the flip side, Matthew had a gut feeling about this path for some reason


    Vallie, hold on, he whispered..


    Matthew thought back to thest time he was in danger, recalling how Valerie had bravelye to


    his rescue. This time, he knew it was his turn to protect her.


    Meanwhile, Valerie felt woozy from the turbulence and gradually woke up. Everything seemed hazy,


    like she was drifting in and out of a dream. It felt as if she was back in her childhood, sitting on a


    boat rocking on the sex. The sensation was unsettling and made her feel really ufortable.


    Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the sensation began to fade. She realized she had been


    taken out of the car. A gust of wind swept over her, sending a chill through her body, and she


    began shivering from the cold.


    Valerie blinked drowsily and saw Matthew’s face looming before her. She took a deep breath and


    widened her eyes. “Mathew?”


    But the face in front of her abruptly disappeared.


    Valerie couldn’t help but smile wryly. It felt like she was hallucinating. Was this all just a dream?


    She felt a deep sadness, convinced that no one could find her at this moment.


    Will I ever see you again in this lifetime, Matthew? she wondered silently.


    Valene couldn’t believe it. After escaping from against the rain, but her vision was blurred

    Valerie could react, she was pulled to the edge of the cliff, Looking down, she saw nothing but a


    bottomless abyss. When she moved her feet, the gravel slipped away into silence, showing how


    deep it was.


    She couldn’t help but cough. Dying in such a ce for no reason wasn’t something she had


    expected.


    Poor thing Valerie sighed, cing her hand gently on her lower abdomen, seming the tenacious


    late life within.


    “I’m sorry, baby. Mommy might not make it,” she added softly.


    Just then, footsteps approached again, and there was Matthew’s face, appearing before her once


    more.


    Valerie looked
