Chapter 433
Nara paused slightly.
….
It felt as if a memory was about to surface.
But it was veiled by a thin layer that prevented her from recalling it.
She wanted to look at the man’s phone screen when the young woman buying vegetables said, “Sorry, I haven’t seen it.”
The young man immediately put away his phone and walked on.
Nara didn’t get a clear look at his phone screen.
She frowned.
She couldn’t help but follow him…
This man was Morgan, the eldest son of the Gill family. He had not noticed the girl following him as he continued to ask around in the market.
Right then, two men in suits arrived from a distance.
They looked entirely out of place in the grimy, rundown market.
Nara watched them, unable to look away.
After a moment, a voice suddenly came from behind her. “Hey, I’m talking to you, move! What are you so engrossed in that you haven’t heard me?”
Nara quickly turned around and realized someone was trying to get by with a cart, so she hurriedly apologized.
The commotion caught the attention of the three brothers from the Gill family.
When they saw Nara, they were instantly stunned.
Austin stared hard at Nara and couldn’t help but say, “Guys, do you feel… this Nara looks familiar?”
“Her eyes are a bit like dad’s, very gentle…”
“And looking at her gives me a feeling of affection…”
The three suddenly looked at each other and turned to Nara in unison. “Could she be…”
In their excitement, they saw Nara hurriedly waving her hands, taking out a small notebook, and handing it to someone else after opening it.
There was a line in it: I’m sorry.
The person immediately curled their lips with disdain. “What a bummer! You’re a mute…”
He then walked past her.
Nara hesitated for a moment, then sighed and walked to the stall she had been at before to buy vegetables.
The three men from the Gill family frowned in the distance.
Austin said with disappointment, “So she’s a mute? Our little sister used to be such a chatterbox. How could she be mute?”
The three brothers left in disappointment.
After leaving the market, Austin wanted to go to the next market to ask around.
Morgan suddenly said, “Asking from one market to the next won’t work. Clance has so many markets, and there are roadside vendors as well. It’s impossible to ask them all.”
Austin became anxious. “What do you mean by that? Are you saying we won’t look for our sister?”
His second brother gave a wry smile. “Why the rush? If Morgan says that, he must have his reasons!”
He then looked toward Morgan, “Don’t be angry. Whenever it’s about our sister, Austin gets like this!”
Morgan frowned. “You’re not that young anymore! Can’t you share the family’s burdens? All you do is hang out with your friends all day and stir up trouble. I heard you’ve offended both the Olsen family and the Freeman Sect, along with Mom. Among the five great families of Clance, no two are at war with each other yet. It seems you won’t be satisfied until you’ve run the Gill family into the ground!”
Austin retorted defiantly, “They started it! Anyway, let’s get back to our sister. Are we not searching for her anymore?”
Morgan rubbed his temples, “What I mean is, even if we were to deploy every person we have and do nothing else, it would still be hard to find her. Since that’s the case, it might be better to put up an advertisement.”
Austin was startled. “An advertisement?”
“Yes,” Morgan continued. “When our sister disappeared, we were afraid that the kidnappers, realizing our desperation, might dispose of her or harm her to silence her, so we dared not publicize our search. But now that we know she’s in Clance, doesn’t an ad make things easier?”
Austin’s eyes immediately lit up. “Morgan, you’re so smart!”
Morgan said, “We’ll make the advertisement now, then we won’t just run it throughout the city. We’ll go nationwide. We must ensure that the entire nation sees our advertisement!”
“I’m going back to the office to work on it!”
The second son immediately turned and left.
Morgan took a deep breath and glanced at Austin again, frustrated at his brother’s lack of initiative, but what could he do when their mother spoiled Austin so much?
He could only pat Austin on the shoulder and threaten him. “You better stay out of trouble! Stay away from Ellis! Don’t provoke him again!”
Austin grimaced. “I know.”
After Morgan left, Austin sneered. “I’ll provoke if I want to. What can he do about it?”
It was not even half a day before the advertisements of the Gill family were plastered everywhere.
But no matter how much money was spent on spreading the word, momentum took time to build. It wasn’t until that evening, after Nara finished preparing dinner that she saw the advertisement on her phone.
She stared at the crescent jade pendant on the screen, and her eyes widened in shock. She tapped Matias on the shoulder to show him the ad.
When Matias saw it, he too was stunned, his expression bewildered.
“Nara, isn’t that your jade pendant? How did it end up on TV? Let me see what’s going on here!”
