Sylvia’s POV:

I peered on Alina’s shoulder and looked at the open door behind her. From a distance, Leonard’s b*ody
lay visible at the center of the hall. At the sight of this, I couldn’t help trembling.
Alina continued to yell something, but I couldn’t make out what it was.
“Go and have a look.” Rufus nudged me with a sigh. With a dreary nod, I walked forward.
Leonard’s b*ody was surrounded by flowers and lit white candles. If I didn’t look carefully, I would think
that he was just asleep peacefully.
Extreme despair engulfed me suddenly. But not a single tear formed in my dry eyes.
Out of nowhere, a gentle breeze brushed my face, bringing with it the enticing aroma of gardenia,
Leonard’s all-time favorite flower.
Due to the familiar aroma, I imagined Leonard was still there, standing behind me and waiting for me to
turn around.
My lips couldn’t help trembling as I tried my best to suppress the sob trying to escape my throat.
It hurt. It felt as if something was literally piercing through my heart. I was getting closer and closer to
him. But as I ascended the stairs, something pushed me away.
It was Alina.
She red at me with red eyes and shouted in a sharp voice, “Stay away from my father!”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and tried to grab me as if she was going to rip me apart right
then and there.
Fortunately, Rufus stopped her in time and gave her a stern lecture, “I’ll forgive you this once because
your father just passed away. But if you dare try again to hurt Sylvia, I won’t spare you.”
Rufus threw Alina onto the stairs. The ck veil on her head fell down, revealing her face that
scrunched up in rage. Sheughed sourly and dered, “Prince Rufus, are you going to punish me?
What did I do wrong? Are you ganging up on me now that my father is gone?”
Rufus held back his impatience and took a deep breath. His face was indifferent, and his eyes were as
cold as ice. He cast a piercing re at Alina and uttered, “I just have one question for you. Why are you
not letting anyone see Leonard’s b*ody? Even the coroner is not allowed to get close. What are you
afraid of? Leonard is the Alpha. We must find the truth behind his death.”
Upon hearing what Rufus said, Alina slowly got up from the ground. She threw the ck veil away and
grinned at him. “Well, since you want to know the truth, then let me tell you.”
She then raised her hand and signaled to the sold*iers at the door. Several troops arrived shortly
carrying an adult male corpse. His dark hair had lost its shine, and the corpse had be stiff.
This was probably Alina’s fiancé, Chet. Rufus told me he had met him in Leonard’s office a few days
back.
He struck Rufus as a decent, reserved, and intelligent young man. He was a man with great potential
and a bright future ahead of him. To be honest, he was a good match for Alina.
What a pity that he d*ied a miserable death. The sold*iers brought a tray with them, on which there was
a bloody dagger.
“The murderer and the weapon are here. You can investigate them as you like.” After saying that, Alina
scowled at me.
Rufus reassured me before approaching the b*ody to inspect it. After a quick check, he looked at me
seriously. “I could sense Noreen’s scent on the corpse.”
I pursed my lips and took the dagger, only to find that it also had a faint trace of Noreen’s scent.
Suddenly, a realization hit me. When they were in the forest, the sold*iers were affected by the white
smoke and attacked each other.
There was no doubt that Noreen was the mastermind behind all these. In this case, could it have been
Noreen who manipted Chet to K*ll Leonard?
Thinking of this, my hatred for Noreen rose to its peak.
