Chapter 405 A Peculiar Vige
Although Abigail found it difficult to identify if the girl in the photo was Kelly, Abigail figured she might
make discoveries once she got to Westcape Vige.
The next day, she and Luna headed to Sicuaro.
Although Sicuaro was a highly developed city, the poverty gap between the folks in Sicuaro’s vige
and its surrounding towns was still pretty obvious.
After the two arrived at Sicuaro Airport, Abigail told Luna her ns, “I will go to Westcape Vige while
you go to the exhibition alone. I have some information regarding Kelly’s identity. So, I n on checking
it out.”
As soon as Luna heard her words, she immediately abandoned her attention on the luggage exit.
Instead, she turned to look at Abigail with a frown on her face and questioned, “Don’t you think things
are going way too smoothly? Besides, have you looked into what kind of vige Westcape Vige is?
What if you can’t make it out in one piece once you’re there?”
“Rx. The new phone I bought has a satellitemunication function, so I don’t have to worry about
not being able to reach the outside world if there’s no signal,” Abigail said while raising her phone.
“Be careful then.” Regardless, Luna was still worried.
With that, Abigail waved her hand and left carrying her small backpack.
After a two-and-a-half-hour car ride, she arrived at Westcape Vige.
Even though the vige was very remote, Abigail could feel the folks living in this vige were
somewhat privileged, judging from the numerous vis and its scenic view.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
She passed through the vige entrance and saw an old woman sitting by the door, running her fingers
through the dried soybeans on the concrete floor. Hence, she walked over and greeted, “Hello,
Granny.”
The old woman looked up and sized her from top to bottom before nodding slightly. “Yes. What are you
doing here?”
Since she spoke with a heavy ent, Abigail had difficulty figuring out what she was saying.
After a brief guess, she asked, “You asked me what I’m doing here, right?”
“Yeah. The old woman responded.
For a moment, Abigail was unsure of how to start the rest of the conversation. Even if I can understand
this line, can I understand the rest of what she will sayter?

“I’m here to ask about someone. Do you know a guy named Wilson Hagl who lives in this vige?” she
asked anyway.
“Wilson Hagl… We have several people with that name here. Which one are you looking for?” The old
woman looked at Abigail and inquired.
Now that she was chatting with the old woman, Abigail realized it wasn’t so hard to understand. the
dialect spoken in Westcape Vige. It’s close to the Coryntheannguage that we speak. It’s just that
it’s fast and has an ent. That’s probably why I find it so difficult to catch the words all at once.
But then again, so many people go by the name of Wilson Hagl in this vige. How am I supposed to
begin my search?
As a result, she decided to chat a bit more with the old woman. She patiently gestured while inquiring
about the information she needed.
Sean, who sat in a nearby van, was watching her with a frown.
“Nheless, it seems that Ms. Quinn is amazing, for I didn’t expect that she had identified Kelly’s
background,” Cameron whispered as he leaned beside Sean.
Sean still had a frown on his face as he expressed his thoughts. “I don’t think it’s weird that we
managed to learn about this. What I find strange is that she actually found out about this ce.”
This ce was indeed where Kelly’s adoptive parents had lived. So far, they only managed to uncover
that Kelly spent about twenty years of her life here.
Sure enough, Sean didn’t care about Kelly’s background. He came here today to look into another
matter rted to her and Vincent.
“Kelly is so scheming, and Vincent’s family is cautious. Ms. Quinn can’t possibly find out this
information easily. Could it be intentional?” Cameron’s face instantly turned solemn.
“Let’s keep an eye on the situation first,” Sean said wearily.
Abigail will misunderstand me again if I show up in front of her now.
I don’t have to get in her way as long as she leaves this ce safely after she has found what she’s
looking for.
Abigail chatted with the old woman for two hours before she finally acquired the home addresses. of
the five people named Wilson Hagl living in Hagl Vige.
The Hagl Vige was massive. Arge residential area came before sight after one stepped. through
the vige’s entrance. ording to the old woman, they were currently in the middle vige The upper
vige was located up and over the valley, whereas an hour-long walk through the field path along the
middle vige’s river and into the valley could reach the lower vige.
All of theirnds belonged to Hagl Vige.

Based on this factor, the vige was indeed arge one.
Abigail arrived at the first address, but the house was locked and seemed empty. When she saw that
she had made a wasted trip, she involuntarily sighed.
Still, she kept moving forward.
Once her figure slowly disappeared, the old woman entered her house; her benign expression instantly
turned sinisterly cold.
She swiftly dialed a series of numbers, and after the call got through, she said, “We have a first- rate
veborer here. She’s beautiful, and she looks rich. We can sell her for at least 30 thousand.”
Then, she hung up after receiving a response from the other end.
Cameron, who was hiding in a corner of the wall outside the room’s wooden window, overheard what
she said. He didn’t hesitate to lurk back to the van. As he absentmindedly scratched the mosquito bites
on his body, he reported, “Something’s definitely wrong with this entire vige. In her phone call, that
old woman called Ms. Quinn a veborer and even mentioned selling her off for 30 thousand!”
Sean furrowed his brows upon hearing Cameron’s words, his expression frosty. “Notify the police.”
Cameron nodded affirmatively.
Meanwhile, Abigail involuntarily frowned when she realized the house in the second address was also
empty.
Strange. It’s not even crop-growing season now, and it’s almost lunchtime. Why isn’t anyone home?
When she thought of that, she stood there and looked around.
Just then, in a window of one of the houses, she saw a shadow hiding away in the dark.
Abigail became alert. She took out her phone and sent her location to Luna.
As expected, the phone had no signal. Nevertheless, the satellitemunication function worked
perfectly fine.
Then, she feignedplete ignorance as she slowly took a few steps forward and walked back.
At this moment, the door of one of the Wilson’s houses she was searching for was swung open.
The middle-aged man, who opened the door, immediately noticed her and pretended to ask
enthusiastically, “Oh, a youngdy from out of town, I see. What are you doing here?”

“I’m looking for someone. Are you Mr. Wilson Hagl? I have a few questions I want to ask you.” Abigail
acted naive as she approached him.
“It’s hot outside. Why don’t youe in, drink some water, and we can talk it over?” The man smiled
and entered the house.
Abigail smiled. Then, she stood in ce as she added, “You are too kind, Mr. Hagl. It’s fine. I’m just
going to ask a few questions before leaving.”
Suddenly, a woman came out. She had pears in her hands as she said to Abigail, “Oh, my, such a kind
youngdy. Here. Take it. These pears are our vige’s special local products. If you want to ask
anything, just ask me!”
