It wasn't just Emily Collins; everyone present was shocked beyond measure.
Wendy Jones... hired someone to kidnap Amelia Clarke?
Everyone's gaze shifted from Wendy Jones to Amelia Clarke.
Emily Collins and Old Madame Sheldon could hardly believe their ears; Amelia Clarke had been kidnapped right under their noses.
But the police's words were hard to disbelieve.
"This can't be possible; you must have made a mistake," Benjamin Griffin, stunned for a moment, immediately regained his composure, stepped forward, grabbed Wendy Jones by the arm, and pulled her back, "Amelia is our niece by marriage. How could Wendy possibly hire someone to kidnap Amelia? Besides, Amelia is right here, safe and sound. When was she ever kidnapped? Even if you are the police, you can't just falsely accuse innocent people like this!"
