“That’s right. It would be best if they all lost their jobs and faced the wrath of everyone. They should experience what online harassment feels like. Their behavior is utterly inhumane p>
Despite Elisa’s somewhat rebellious nature, she still possessed a sense of virtue.
Moreover, her fondness for Serenity motivated her desire to seek justice on Serenity’s behalf.
It was her way of repaying a kindness.
“After all, it was Serenity who referred me to York Corporation, allowing me to meet Zachary today. He even spoke to me p>
“Clive, I’m heading home to spend time with Mom. You should get back to work,” Elisa said before hanging up the phone.
She didn’t want to take up more of her brother’s valuable time.
The old Stone residence was not far from the old York residence, but they were on different routes.
If they had been on the same route, Elisa would have intercepted Zachary’s car on his way home. However, Zachary rarely returned to the old York residence, making it unlikely for her to block his path even if they were traveling the same way.
As the second most influential family in Wiltspoon, the old Stone residence was beautifully restored and expansive. The York residence was designed like a manor, and the Stone family followed suit in building their home similarly.
Inside a grand hall, a middle-aged woman sat on the sofa, holding a photograph in her hands. She gazed blankly at the image for an extended period.
Elisa entered the room and took the photograph from her mother’s grasp as she approached. “Mom, you shouldn’t stare at this photo all day. If Aunt were alive, we would definitely find her. Please try to stay positive. Don’t be so downcast and worried all the time p>
Darrell brought over a glass of water and chimed in, “Elisa is right, dear. You shouldn’t keep fixating on the photo p>
“We have arranged for many people to search for your sister. I believe we will receive news about her soon,” he said as he handed the glass to his wife.
In their youth, the couple had been busy with work, leaving little time for each other. After Clive took over, Darrell retired and looked forward to spending quality time with his wife, hoping to enjoy their old age peacefully.
However, he did not expect his wife to be so frequently depressed lately over a sister-in-law he had never met. Darrell was anxious about Audrey’s distress, but he felt powerless to help. The two sisters had been separated for a long time, and it was possible that his sister-in-law had forgotten she even had a sister. She had been passed from one family to another, leaving no one aware of her current whereabouts. The other half of the photo might not even be in her possession anymore.
Finding someone with just a photograph was a daunting task.
Audrey accepted the glass of water her husband offered, took a sip, and then took the photo from her daughter’s hand. She set the glass down, carefully returned the photo to its album, and closed it with a sigh. “Lately, I’ve been having nightmares of my sister being beaten and scolded. She must have had a miserable life p>
“That’s because you keep thinking about it all day,” Elisa said, sitting down beside her mother and affectionately holding her arm. “Mom, it’s still hot outside. I want to go to the beach for a vacation, and you should come with me. Let’s go fishing and enjoy some fresh seafood,” Elisa suggested sweetly.
“So you don’t have to block Zachary’s path every day?” Audrey teased, nudging her daughter’s nose playfully. “I thought you’d be willing to sacrifice food and sleep just to stand guard at the York Corporation gates every day p>
“The pursuit of true love can’t be accomplished in
