Chapter 1137 Cecilia Is Dead The police officer’s brows drew together. “I can understand your feelings. You can’t accept your daughter’s death, but it is the truth—”

“Nonsense!” Cecilia stepped on the ash forcefully and declared, “Tell Arielle that she’d never get in my head! Wendy is alive and well and is taking her exams at Maxwell University. Why would she jump off a building? Don’t take me for a fool!”

Initially, the police officer could empathize with her. However, when he saw her step on her daughter’s ash, he lost his patience and stuffed the documents into her hands. “Read the documents yourself if you don’t trust me. They are your daughter’s autopsy report and the case file prepared by the Lightspring police. As there is an official stamp on the file, it isn’t fake.”

Cecilia scanned the contents of the documents hastily. Soon, her gaze landed on a photo in the case file.

It was a photo of Wendy’s body pierced by the iron fence with blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing that, Cecilia froze. It seemed like something within her had been torn into shreds.

The police officer noticed her reaction and sighed. “My condolences. Maxwell University has contacted the police department of Horington, and they will send a representative here a few days later to discuss the compensation.”

Although Wendy had committed suicide, the incident had happened at Maxwell University. Besides, the iron fence on the campus had pierced her heart, so they had to more or less bear responsibility for that.

“No! That’s impossible! This can’t be real!” Cecilia hollered with all her might.

She then ran out of the room in a state of frenzy.

I have to go to Lightspring! I must head to Maxwell University and see it for myself! My Wendy must still be alive!

The stunned police officer went after her a beat later.

“Get her! Don’t let her get away!”

The rehab facility erupted into chaos.

The next day, when the patrol officer went to take a look at Cecilia, the latter was found lying in a pool of blood with a toothbrush in her chest.

“Cecilia’s dead.”

Vinson informed Arielle about the news right away. “She committed suicide by stabbing a toothbrush into her heart. When people at the rehab facility discovered her body, it was already stiff. I gather she killed herself, as Wendy’s death was too much for her to bear.”

Arielle was shocked into silence. After a long while, she whispered, “I can’t believe it…”

The Greene family used to be extremely influential in Horington, but they had fallen apart. One was locked up in jail, and the rest were dead.

Shockingly, it only took one month for all that to happen.

Vinson patted her shoulder. “They brought it upon themselves.”

A sigh slipped past her lips. “One wrong choice leads to another. Sometimes, it’s hard to be a human. I believe Wendy’s envious of me, but I’m also envious of her. At least her parents loved her.”

Pulling her in for a tight embrace, he said, “You have me.”

Arielle chuckled and returned his hug.

Yes, I don’t have parents, but I have Vinson. He’s the best and will face everything with me. That’s enough.

Despite not blaming herself for both Cecilia’s and Wendy’s death, Arielle’s mood was a little affected by the news.

However, she did not waste time dwelling on their deaths, for the renovation of Maureen’s Kitchen’s new branch had come to an end. It was going to open for business soon.

It meant a lot to Arielle to open Maureen’s Kitchen’s first branch.
