Chapter 2187 So It Really Was Simon?
Cindy''s pupils contracted. "Simon, of all people?"
She blinked and recalled Simon''s behavior in their previous interactions. Indeed, the dude didn''t seem
too reliable, but neither did he appear to be hostile. I can''t believe he killed his own mother.
The information didn''t add up for Cindy, no matter how she thought of it. "Could it have been some
misunderstanding? Why would he go so far? Leah loved him, didn''t she? And he only wanted Leah''s
money, so he shouldn''t have a reason to kill her. It''s easier for him to just get her money when she''s
alive, right?"
Aurora shook her head. "I''m not sure of the details. Who knows, maybe they were arguing about
something, and then when Simon struck her, he identally killed her. Only the two of them knew what
had happened. Simon is arrested now, and he has also confessed that it was his doing."
Cindy''s mouth was wide open. She didn''t know what to say. Some things were entirely unexpected, but
if one thought about it, it wasn''t that impossible either. If she had to decide whether it was reasonable
for Simon to murder Leah, she would feel that it was. This is news! Good Lord!
A mncholic sigh escaped Cindy. "s! I truly didn''t expect that. No matter what, there should be
better ways to go about it."
Aurora shared the same sentiment. "I know, right? That''s just too extreme."
Judging by how much Leah pampered Simon, even if Simon didn''t manage to get cash out of Leah''s
hands, he just had to try a few more times before Leah sumbed. As an experienced person, if
Aurora had to analyze this situation from a mother''s point of view, she felt that if Simon wanted to, he
would be able to get Leah''s money in the end.
He really didn''t have to go so far and even get himself into trouble after all that.
Cindy lost her appetite in an instant. Even though she wasn''t too involved with this incident, she was
still shocked when she heard about it.
Cindy left thest few bites of food untouched, then cleaned up the container. "The police should be
releasing a statement soon. When that happens, all the discussions and guesses online should be
gone."
Aurora nodded. "This incident didn''t have too much of an impact, either. I talked to Ian for a bit, and he
didn''t seem to care."
This incident wasn''t the only thing Ian was indifferent about. His contract was nearing its end, so he
was getting a little wilder and didn''t care about many other things as well.
Cindy leaned against the chair and crossed her arms. "I never thought that the Morgan Family would

remained, but Sally was already far from home.
Such is life.
After sitting for a bit, Aurora got up. "I was surprised as well. Sometimes when I think about it, with
them being family and all, I really can''t figure out who''s in the wrong."
With that, Aurora went to wash up. Cindy cleared the dining table, then went back to her room and
showered as well. When everything was settled, she walked out and gave Ian a call. Because of the
recent news, she felt a little shaken and wanted to hear his voice.
Ian was a little slow to pick up the phone, for he had just finished showering as well.
When Ian answered the call, she could hear a slight chuckle. "What''s the matter? Why are you calling
me sote at night? Did you miss me?"
Not interested in answering him, she demanded, "Have they released info on Leah''s incident?"
Ian paused for a bit. "Yes, it''s out. The murderer is arrested, and when all the evidence is confirmed,
they should be able to proceed with the public prosecution and sentencing."
Cindy took a deep breath, then asked anyway, "So it really was Simon?"
Ian hummed affirmatively. "Yes. Quite the surprise, isn''t it?"
"Exactly. I was shocked to the core," Cindy added hastily. "I thought it was a robbery at most, and
maybe someone robbed her out of desperation, then killed her in the end."
