Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 565 What Do They Want?

Alicia shivered as she hid in the grass. All she could hear were the wind and those people’s footsteps. And she began to break out in a cold sweat

After a few minutes, she heard the sound of gunshots. Looking at the frightened crows that flew up into the sky from the valley, Alicia was shocked, and her face immediately turned pale. I Matthew, are you still alive? she thought to herself. For fear that the bad people would find her, she didn’t dare to move, and her heart was racing. Then various thoughts flooded her mind

/’ve been on an adventure since I arrived in Birmingham. I’ve seen some exciting things, but most of them are dangerous. Damn! If had known I would die in the middle of nowhere, I would have chosen to stay in my hometown!

“Are you going to stay here forever?” As he stood next to her, Matthew asked. His voice was as fresh as a mint, bringing Alicia’s wandering mind back to the present

Through the grass, Alicia noticed there was a boy standing next to her

She thought she was dreaming at that moment. “Matthew? You’re still alive?” She asked in a shaky voice

“You just told me I’m the luckiest person on the planet. So, how could I possibly die?” With a bitter smile, Matthew replied

Alicia rose from the ground immediately. She grabbed Matthew’s jacket and jumped into his arms. Then she burst into tears

As it was the first time that Matthew had faced such a situation, he

564 What Do They Want? = was terrified and had no idea where to place his hands. All he could do at the moment was to comfort Alicia by saying, “Don’t cry, please. At least we’re both still alive.”

Alicia cried for a while before she noticed a group of people in the distance smiling at her. In embarrassment, she pushed Matthew away right away. Then she greeted the person in lead, “Hello, Ms. Tyler.”

Emily smiled, “You can just call me Aunt Emily like Matthew did, Alicia

Are you alright?”

Alicia wiped her eyes with her handkerchief. “I heard gunshots just now, so I thought…”

Matthew frowned as he dusted off his jacket. “Thank goodness Aunt Emily arrived on time. They took care of everything.”

“Oh! Natalie and Tammy are still in town!” Alicia said as she suddenly remembered this. And she appeared to be about to cry again

Noticing that, Emily immediately said, “Come on, I know Tammy asked you to do this. When I find her, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson!”

Alicia remained frozen. Then Matthew nudged her gently and asked, “Let’s go. We’ll run into wolves if we stay here longer.”

“What?! Say that again?!” Alicia nearly screamed

“There are wolves in this mountain.”

Alicia shivered in fear. She then caught up with the group

While driving back downtown, Emily received a phone call from Ryan

She asked, “So, have you picked up Tammy and Natalie? How did this happen?”

Seeing that Emily was unusually quiet, Matthew asked, “Aunt Emily, what’s wrong?”

“I’m curious as well.”

Later, Emily took Matthew and Alicia to Karl’s house. Natalie was sitting on the couch as they walked in. At that moment, she was covered in mud, looking quite a mess. With tears on her face, Natalie said sobbingly, “Tam… Tammy sprained her ankle, so she asked me to go first and left her behind.”

“What was going on, Natalie? Calm down,” Emily asked

Before Emily could get close to Natalie and ask her what was going on in detail, Ryan told Emily to go to the kitchen. He said, “Don’t push her, honey. Natalie was terrified. Peace just asked her about it, so I know what happened.”

“Where’s Tammy?” Frowning, Emily asked

“Tammy was kidnapped before I arrived.”

“Are those kidnappers the same people who kidnapped Matthew?”

“I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure they’re all mercenaries. They are very efficient and brutal. The CID is currently investigating the deaths of two people in town, which are said to be linked to Night Eagle.”

“When I saw Matthew today, the people who wanted to kill him were also wearing black masks,” Emily frowned

“Is any of them still alive?”

“Yes,”

Emily brought in a team of elite special forces, but they weren’t as quick as the mercenaries. Six of the seven mercenaries ingested poison and committed suicide at that time. Emily dislocated the jaw of one of the men to stop him from killing himself. That way, the police could interrogate him

At that precise moment, Ryan’s phone rang

“Hello? Mom, what’s wrong?” Ryan became worried after hearing Jennie’s sobs. “Take it easy, Mom. Take your time.

What is going on?..

What? Gary is missing again?!”

Everyone in the room was stunned. A strange series of events had occurred recently. They had just found Matthew when Tammy and Gary disappeared at the same time

“How come they only went after the kids?” Peace was the first to notice this

Emily and Ryan didn’t have time to think about it. One of them was going to question the mercenary, while another was going to find Gary

And Emily said, “Ryan and I must leave now. Peace, Karl, can you guys look after the kids? I already have the police patrolling the area.”

“All right, be safe,” Peace said, “Don’t you think it isn’t coincidental? Apparently, they’re coming for the kids. Are they trying to wipe out the descendants of the Wright family?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, honey. Gary isn’t one of the Wrights.” Karl shrugged as he faced a group of teenagers in the living room. He said, “Your name is Alicia, right? Why don’t you take Natalie to the shower?”

Nodding, Alicia took Natalie to the bathroom ee

Awhile later, Emily and Ryan walked together to the police station

They kept talking about a group called Night Eagle on the way

“Why did they send so many people this time? First, something happened to Matthew, and then Tammy and Gary disappeared. Everything is about the Wrights. Did Wayne and Anna offend someone?”

Shaking his head, Ryan said, “I have no idea. They’re both now in

Fleosil. It’s a shambles there, but Night Eagle has never been before

Besides, I don’t think their enemies did so. Don’t forget about Gary. I don’t think they’re doing this to retaliate against Wayne and Anna.”

While they were talking, someone pushed the door open and came into the room, saying, “Someone is looking for you, Emily and Ryan. She claimed to be your sister.”

Isabella?! “Ryan and Emily exchanged glances as they both spoke at the same time

Down the hall, a young girl in a white coat was walking restlessly

“Isabella!” Ryan recognized her right away the moment he spotted her

Isabella asked when she saw Ryan and Emily. “Have you found Matthew yet? How are Tammy and Natalie doing?”

“Matthew and Natalie are fine. But Tammy is missing,” Emily replied

Isabella hung her head. “It’s all my fault. I’m sorry. I should have told you guys sooner. Tammy always acts on impulse, but I still told her about that.”

“What is going on?” Emily and Ryan were completely unaware of what was going on. They couldn’t figure out why the three girls knew where Matthew was and went to save him

Then Isabella told them everything she knew, “I saw Maria meeting with a man in Cliatin and that they were trying to ruin the Carousel Group

Later, I tracked Maria back to Birmingham, where I saw her visiting Matthew at the hospital and taking him out. Maria then took him to the base of the bad guys.”

“What? Did Maria do it?” Ryan asked, his face pale
