Chapter 1733: 420: Final Letter!_3 Chapter 1733: 420: Final Letter!_3 Who doesn’t know in the industry that Mandel Thompson has a bad temper, notorious as a “smiling tiger,” and what he hates the most are people who stand up and walk away all of a sudden?
Every act of Isla Astir precisely hit Brandon’s sore spot.
She could only pray for her own luck.
On this side.
Isla Astir hurried back home, Olivia Armstrong was crying so hard that she was hoarse. Seeing Isla return, she flung herself into her arms, “Isla!”
Isla Astir then asked, “Dad didn’t explain clearly on the phone just now, how is my cousin doing now?”
She had only heard about Christina Armstrong jumping off the building on the phone.
Hearing this, Olivia Armstrong’s weeping became even louder.
Isla Astir had a bad feeling.
William Astir continued, “Your cousin, she’s gone…”
Isla Astir tried to calm herself, grabbing the car keys, “Let’s go to the police station now! Dad, please comfort mom!”
“Okay,” William Astir nodded.
The family of three got in the car.
Isla Astir was driving a bit fast.
William Astir said, “Isla, slow down.”
“Okay.”
Although Isla Astir was trying hard to control her emotions, her hands couldn’t stop trembling.
Pitter-patter.
A hot tear dripped onto the back of her hand.
Fortunately, the police station wasn’t far from the Astir family home, about twenty minutes away.
“Christina…”
At this moment, Olivia Armstrong had no strength left in her body, and Isla and her father supported her from each side.
“Christina… Auntie is here…”
The police officers Inside the Hall were also moved by this scene.
Two female officers immediately came over, “Are you Christina Armstrong’s family members?”
Isla Astir, with reddened eyes, nodded, then spoke again with a somewhat hoarse voice, “Christina Armstrong is my cousin, this is my mother also her aunt, and this is my father, her uncle.”
Olivia Armstrong suddenly looked up at the policewoman, “Where is my niece now?”
“In the morgue,” the policewoman said.
“Can we see her?” Olivia Armstrong asked further.
“We can,” the policewoman’s expression hesitated, “it’s just… since your niece jumped from a high place, her appearance might be somewhat…” Though the coroner had tried their best to restore her, it was still a sight difficult to bear,
Even Beatrice Black and Edward Armstrong, her own parents, couldn’t bear to look directly at Christina.
Folklore has it that those decapitated can turn into vengeful ghosts.
Olivia Armstrong shook her head, “It doesn’t matter, we aren’t afraid.”
The policewoman sighed, “Then please follow us.”
The three followed the policewoman’s steps and entered the morgue. Whether it was psychological or not, just stepping into the coroner’s workplace felt chilling to the bone.
But now wasn’t the time to focus on that.
The two policewomen led the family of three to a corpse covered with a white cloth, “This is Christina Armstrong.”
“Christina, Christina…”
Olivia Armstrong’s trembling hands unveiled the white cloth.
It was a shocking sight.
Christina’s head had been pieced together, her limbs were mutilated…
Even one leg was found by police in a planting strip thirty meters away.
From the height of several hundred meters.
Once jumping down, it was inevitable to be dismembered.
Only in utter despair would one have the courage to do so.
Olivia Armstrong was already crying her heart out, but seeing this, her heartache became unbearable.
“My poor Christina, open your eyes and look at your aunt, will you? You silly child, why did you have to jump off the building?”
“What was the reason?”
“Christina, does it hurt? Auntie remembers how you used to be so afraid of pain when you were little!”
“…”
Ignoring everything, Olivia Armstrong fearlessly held Christina’s body and broke into heart-wrenching sobs.
The two policewomen nearby silently cried as well.
Isla Astir choked back her tears and wiped the tears from her face. At that moment, she seemed to have discovered something and asked with a furrowed brow, “Excuse me, Police Officer, may I ask why my cousin is wearing a wedding gown?”
As Isla mentioned that, Olivia Armstrong also noticed and felt something was amiss.
The policewoman was startled, “You don’t know?”
“Know what?” Isla Astir asked back.
The policewoman continued, “Today was Christina Armstrong’s wedding day.”
“Wedding?” Isla Astir was stunned, “My cousin was getting married today? Police Officer, are you sure you’re not mistaken? My cousin was still single!”
Olivia Armstrong looked up at the policewoman and cried, “It must be a mistake, how could I, her aunt, not know if my niece was getting married!”
