In his heart, she gradually felt more and more unease.
When she invited Ms. Armstrong to the Capital for a charity party, she didn't expect such a tragedy to happen.
After everything that had happened, these things were not something she could bear alone.
Without hesitation, she picked up her phone and dialed Karl's number.
It took many rings before Karl answered. Apparently he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You're in a meeting?" Juanita sensed that he was in an unusual environment.
"Right. You're in a hurry?" He asked.
"Yes, it's urgent." Juanita didn't want to delay any longer.
"Okay, hold on a minute. I'm going to walk outside and we can talk." Karl said gently.
After about a few dozen seconds, he said, "Okay, go ahead."
Juanita said directly, "Ms. Armstrong from the orphanage is dead, and her body was found this morning on the shallows downstream of the reservoir. I mentioned to you before that I suspected she was missing, and I didn't think she was really in trouble. What happened was that Rachel, the director of the Khebury orphanage, was invited to the Capital for a charitable party."
"Khebury Orphanage, the orphanage where Joyce had been?" Karl interrupted to ask.
