Amelia Wright and Amos Shaw locked eyes.
After a look of fierce determination, Amelia Wright also began to smile.
Both were smart people; Amelia knew Amos harbored ill intentions, and Amos knew Amelia was looking for an opportunity to leave.
They both smiled outwardly, but their hearts were full of calculations.
Outside.
Emma Lewis and Elijah Jefferson were frantically searching for Amelia Wright.
They received a tip that Amelia Wright might have appeared, rushed over, only to find it was a false lead.
Emma Lewis had not been meeting with Basil Smith recently; her eyes were bloodshot as she said, "We've almost turned every stone in Riverwood City, where on earth is she? Could she have left Riverwood, maybe even gone abroad?"
Elijah Jefferson was also enduring the stress; his unshaven stubble added to an aura of impending fury.
