Chapter 712


    Adam had been in search of her for three days. He dived in the cold water again and again with


    other searchers but all their efforts turned out futile.


    They retrieved neither Tracey''s body nor Renee''s. Caesar and Rose tried tofort him, "Someone


    must have saved her, or we should have found her body."


    "That''s right. There are many fishing boats in this area. One of them must have saved her."


    What they didn''t mention was that the most fierce predators of the ocean also lived in this area.


    If she hadn''t been found in time, they could tear her apart within seconds.


    They knew Adam was on the edge of copse so before thest straw appeared they sent him


    home to have a respite.


    Handsome bounties were offered on information leading to Tracey''s rescue and now the whole


    country knew the ident.


    The news causes a sensation immediately when it was released.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    All resources were mobilized, and the area where Tracey fell overboard became unprecedentedly


    crowded.


    Days without positive news made people''s imaginations run wild.


    "Perhaps Tracey was taken by a mermaid and they lived happily ever after."


    "Ships passing by has saved her. I knew this kind of thing."


    "She must have been a tasty meal for the sharks. May she rest in peace in Heaven."


    Some even wrote a novel about what would happen if Tracey was rescued.


    The news finally reached Leo and Carmen.


    Carmen was making breakfast in the kitchen when Leo dashed in with his phone.


    "Have you seen it?" Leo handed her the phone. Carmen''s face turned livid instantly.


    The news said they''d disappeared at night on the 21st, but she remembered Renee had called her


    on the 22nd.


    "Fake news." Carmen blurted out. Renee had told her not to believe those tabloids.


    "Why are you so sure?" Leo asked.


    "Your sister called me on the 22nd, saying she''s on a trip with her friends, so it''s definitely just a


    clickbait."


    "Mom, could... could it be her ghost calling you? I''ve heard stories that families of the victims in


    shipwrecks received calls from them but only heard crying. There''s even a recording online."


    "Superstitious nonsense! Your sister sent me a selfie." Carmen showed Leo the photo on which


    Renee somehow looked pale.


    Leo frowned. Renee was obsessed with her appearance so she would never send a selfie without


    photoshopping it.


    "Renee told me not to believe the news and if I can''t contact her it''s because there''s no signal on


    the sea," Carmen said affirmatively.


    "I don''t think that''s the case. Is it possible that the news is true?" Leo felt disconcerted.


    Carmen knocked on his head exasperatedly. "Shut your face!"


    "I''m just worried. Tracey was also missing. There were many rescue ships in the harbor the other


    day. It must be Adam looking for her."


    "No good news hase yet. They were on the same ship that night," Leo said.


    Carmen remained silent for a while and then said, "Renee sounded weird that day."


    A horrific guess came to her mind. "Could it be that your sister pushed Tracey overboard and didn''t


    daree home for fear that Adam will haunt her down?" "It makes sense. We both know how


    much she hates Tracey after she almost killed you," Leo said.


    "Stupid girl." Carmen''s heart was pounding. If she guessed right, Adam wouldn''t let Renee get away


    with it.


    Leo thought for a while and said, "They fell into the water together so if Renee is alive so is Tracey."


    "Adam is now desperate for pertinent information so if we tell him about the call, he may show


    mercy to Renee."


    Leo was so afraid that after Adam found out what Renee had done, he would leash his rage on


    them.


    He could crush them easily.


    "She can''t go anywhere with her passport at home," Carmen mused. "There''s another possibility."


    "Which is?"


    "She didn''t escape for some reason. Perhaps she was kept in captivity."


    "She made it to call me but didn''t dare to say anything because someone was watching her."


    "But no one asked us to pay for her release. What do they want from her?" Leo was perplexed.


    If she was kidnapped, no one called them for money.


    If she wasn''t kidnapped, where could she go?


    "Leo, your sister is alive but she''s in trouble." It was Carmen''s instinct as a mother.
