Chapter 876 Check It Out (1/2)

”What? Are you kidding me?”

Rita stood up abruptly and stared at Emily incredulously for a second before shaking her head disbelievingly.

David had forbidden Rita from leaving the house, but today she had managed to sneak past the bodyguards at home and meet Emily while David was out on work.

Although it had only been a few minutes since they met at the cafe, the shocking news Emily had given her was hard to take in all at once.

”Rita, please calm down. I know this must be hard for you. If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't believe it when Jacob told me either.” Glancing apologetically at the people around them, Emily blushed and asked Rita to sit down.

Rita's breathing quickened as she reached out for the glass of cold water on the table and drank it down in one big gulp. ”Emily, Jacob wouldn't lie to you. Now that you've mentioned it, when I asked David about this yesterday, I noticed his hesitation to speak freely. That can only mean that what you're saying is true.”

Having recalled David's awkward behavior last night, Rita concluded that he must have been hiding something from her.

Perhaps David was afraid of how she would react if she were to find out the truth about what had happened.

”David hasn't told you yet?” As soon as Emily heard the news, she had been dying to inform Rita. Therefore, she couldn't understand why David would keep the truth from her.

If Jacob knew who was responsible for kidnapping Beryl and Dylan, then it would be safe to assume that David knew about it too. In fact, it would be strange if he didn't know about it yet.

”Perhaps David is just waiting to be absolutely certain before jumping to conclusions, and that's why he hasn't told you yet? Rita, try to be patient. Let's see what he says later.”

Emily was afraid that Rita would start a fight with David because of what she had said, so she insisted that Rita go back home and have a face-to-face conversation with David.

”Emily, do you think it's possible that they could be wrong about Darren? Why would Darren kidnap Dylan?”

Rita's eyebrows furrowed in deep crease, as she gingerly tapped the bridge of her nose. Rita knew Darren personally. And she knew what kind of a person he was. None of it seemed to add up in her mind.
