But within just a morning, newspapers, television, and the internet had all exposed the affair, stirring up a storm across the city.
Originally, Elijah Schmidt had been patient, giving his son some private space, believing that he would return before the wedding, especially since he had promised to marry Minnie Sutton, so he did not dispatch people to search everywhere, also because he did not want the news to leak.
It wasn't until yesterday noon, when Walter had not shown up, that Elijah could no longer remain calm, and he directly called the Benson Family in Brazil.
The call was answered by Morgan Benson, who was shocked to hear that Emma had gone to Sois, and might even have eloped with Walter. Both Morgan and his wife were stunned and worried.
