Gemma and Jacob immediately stood up. Jacob’s expression tumed serious. “Mrs. Field, what did you just say?“
Flo is gone. Hold him to wait for me outside the restroom, but when came out, he had disappeared,” Sadie cried as she spoke
Jacob’s face darkened at once. The amusement park was crowded and chaotic. A child going missing here was no small matter.
“We should call Mr. Field right away,” Jacob said as he pulled out his phone to dial Thomas,
put Gemma was already walking straight ahead. Jacob reached out and stopped her “Gemma, where are you going?”
“calling him won’t help right now. We need to check the surveillance cameras flust.”
Jacob blinked as realization dawned. “You’re right. That’s what we should be doing.”
He quickly followed her to find the amusement park statt and requested access to the surveillance footage. Salle, however, remained rooted to the spot. “Mrs. Field?” Jacob, thinking she was frozen in worry, called out to her.
Sadie suddenly walked up to Gemma and grabbed her hand, her voice trembling through her tears. “It was you, wasn’t it?”
The unexpected accusation left Gemma stunned. Jacob was even more shocked, “Mrs. Field, what are you talking about?
“It was het. She arranged for someone to take Flo away.”

Jacob stepped in front of her protectively. “Mr. Field, how can you hit someone without even asking what happened?” Thomas was furious, pointing at Gemma as he shouted, “It anything happens to your brother, I will never forgive you.” Gemma did not move. She already knew what her father believed. He chose to believe Sadie’s words. He believed she had arranged for Florian to be taken.
She stayed silent while Thomas‘ accusations and Sadie’s sobbing filled the air. The scene quickly descended into chaos.
The surveillance toutage revealed that Florian had last been seen near the amusement park’s main entrance. He was led away by a man wearing a gray jacket and a black cap. The man had deliberately avoided the cameras, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
Upon seeing this, Sadie cried even harder. She stepped forward and grabbed Gemma’s hands, her voice shalding.
“Gem, I know you resent me. You think i rutted your parents‘ marriage and took your mother’s place. But I truly love could you keep going after him like this? Don’t you know he means everything to me?”
No matter whut Sadie said, Gemma remained unmoved.
Thomas pounted at her again, his voice ring. “Tell me. Where did you take your brother?”

When she still said nothing, be raised his hand again. Before he could strike her a second time, Wesley’s low voice cut through the noise. “Find the child first.” That our sentence shafted everyone’s focus back to the only thing that truly mattered at that moment.
