Aunt May tenderly patted Jenna''s hand.
Yet, Jenna''s heart was still filled with unease.
That night, after she entered her house, she somehow fell into a deep sleep.
Upon waking, she found herself in this hidden room.
And then, Aunt May came to see her.
"Ms. Jenna, I know you''re a good girl, but I can only protect you by hiding you here," Aunt May whispered. "I also know that you came back the night beforest to gather information, but it''s too dangerous. Wesley won''t being back, and you''re safest here..." "Aunt, I can''t just think about myself. I have friends, and I must stand with them. I can''t let them worry about me."
Jenna set down her cupcake, and just as she stood up, she suddenly felt dizzy.
There was something in that cupcake...
"Aunt, you..."
"You have to trust me, dear, I''m doing this for your own good..."
May watched Jenna fall, a sorrowful expression on her face.
Meanwhile, at the Aldridge Estate.
Adler woke up as the sky gradually darkened.
Harold had driven Sophie and Colby back early. Seeing Adler wake up at six in the evening, Sophie suddenly said to William, who was keeping his distance from the door, "That drug you gave him was really strong, he slept all day."
Hearing this, William chuckled awkwardly: "Ha... ha, well, I didn''t... I mean, I didn''t want him to wake up too early."
After saying this, William once again hid by the door, as if afraid of being seen by Adler.
Having once experienced Adler''s formidable nature, William dared not provoke him again.
Adler, rubbing his sore head, and seeing William skulking by the door, his gaze turned fierce: "You...!"
"I, I didn''t do it on purpose, it was Sophie who gave too much!"
William sneakily nced at Sophie, mercilessly shifting the me.
Of course, Adler wouldn''t trouble Sophie. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is Jenna at home?"
Sophie replied, "Colby said he found a secret passage in your house with a door at the end. Jenna might be inside." "Then I''ll go check."
Adler threw off the covers, but whether it was the side effect of the anesthetic, his head was throbbing painfully.
William immediately said, "Hey, hey, hey, you can''t drive now, it hasn''t even been twenty-four hours since you were sedated. If something happens, I''m not responsible"
Adler insisted on getting up, but Colby grabbed his arm, saying, "I''m not trying to stop you, I''ll drive you there in a bit."
"No, I have to go now..."
"It''s such a hassle, why didn''t you just take him with you this morning."
William muttered under his breath at the door.
Harold said, "That was during the
day, it would have been too risky. Now it''s night, and we''ll try our best not to alert anyone. After all,

ording to the information we gathered today, Wesley probably doesn''t know Jenna was at home lást night. So, that bag of stuff might be something else."
Seeing Adler hesitate, Sophie said, "Don''t worry, Colby has had people watching the Tredgold family''s surroundings. If there was any movement, or if we had rmed anyone, our people would have already stormed in."
"It''s not that I don''t trust you," Adler said. "I just find Jenna''s disappearance mysterious."
