Chapter 1247

Chapter 1247 She lay on the branch for a while and figured she would try to get help come daytime.

To her surprise, after they had left, she heard yet another round of rustling footsteps. She heard someone approaching the edgeof the cliff, quickly followed by someone shining a torchlight over the edge of the cliff, directly casting its blinding lights on her.

She was blinded by the light.

She thought they had come to finish her off. She was instantly seized by a wave of fear and completely paralyzed. A voice toldher to throw herself into the raging currents below.

The men holding the torchlight suddenly cried out.

“Over here, Miss Sherry is over here!”

“Get a rope! We've got to help her!”

Sherry looked up at them and asked, “Who are you people?”

They answered, “We work for Master Carter.”

Upon being rescued, Sherry understood that it was Odell who had dispatched them to come to her rescue.

Odell and Sylvia ‘caught wind about the Stockton family throwing a party and were going to use the chance to break Sherry out.However, they were one step too late where someone else got to her instead.

Odell’s men had only just arrived outside the house when they saw several men bursting through the main entrance with Sherryand hopping into a car. They gave Sherry a phone so she could speak to Odell and Sylvia herself. After being reassured thatthey were on her side and were there to help her, she finally allowed them to take her to Westchester without any furtherprotests.

Sherry noticed the same car that had broken her out of John’s house parked by the roadside. There was nobody inside the car.

She remembered one of those men saying something about it being a new car and expressing concern about her getting the cardirty. Why did they abandon the car?

It no longer mattered. The only thing that mattered now was that Shannon was arrested and she was finally free from John andaway from Glanchester . Everything was over.

Her episode in Glanchester had finally come to an end. She no longer had anything to do with any of the Stockton familymembers. She held back tears, closed her eyes, and quickly sank

into sleep.Meanwhile, inside the forest in the mountains of Glanchester.

The day passed in the blink of an eye. The sun was about to set when one of the officers suddenly cried out, “Boss, we foundsomething!"

Officer Emmanuel approached immediately.The man perched on the edge of the cliff was drawn over by the commotion as well..

He had been squatting over the cliff for a long time and his legs had gone numb without him even realizing it. He felt stiff and aterrible ache pulsed in his calf when he tried to get up.

While getting up, he happened to notice a thick branch protruding several meters out of the edge of the cliff. He seemed to catcha glimpse of what appeared to be a red hue staining the sides of the branch.He frowned, then he turned and went to Officer Emmanuel.

Officer Emmanuel and several of his officers were squatting over a certain spot. It seemed they had found some clues. OfficerEmmanuel suddenly ordered, “Seal off this area as well.”

“Got it, Boss.”Officer Emmanuel rose.John approached him and asked, “Did you replace anything?”

Officer Emmanuel informed, “There were some footprints. It was left behind last night and it seemed like these footprints weredifferent from the ones left behind by the tree men we caught last night.” John was alerted by this. “You're saying that there wassomeone else that came by here last night?” “Yes.” Officer Emmanuel considered for a moment before adding, “We've beensearching the river for the entire day. If we still can’t replace Miss Sherry‘s body, I'd suspect that someone else had taken her away.”

John stood stiffly and tried to process these latest developments. He suddenly recalled the branch that he had just spotted off theedge of the cliff.

Suddenly, a ray of hope returned to his dark and worrisome eyes, he quickly informed, “I saw a thick tree branch with whatappeared to be bloodstains on it.”

Officer Emmanuel was intrigued by this. “Where’‘s the branch?”
