Chapter 704 Devastated Parents


    In the snowy a woman covered in blood. The snow beneath her was stained red from the blood,


    blooming around her like a deadly red rose.


    Charis''s bodyy lifeless on the ground floor of the Larson Group''s building. All her bones had been


    shattered to pieces after falling from such a height.


    Looking at the mangled body on the ground, J couldn''t shake off the feeling that Charis was


    staring at her with her eyes wide open.


    Such a sight made her hair stand on end. Unable to bear it, she looked away and buried her face in


    Brandon''s arms.


    "Have they contacted her parents?" she asked shakily.


    "Garrett did. They should be here soon," Brandon answered expressionlessly as he stared at


    Charis''s corpse. He took a deep breath, took off his scarf and wrapped it around J. Stroking her


    backfortingly, he asked, "Do you want to wait for me inside?"


    J shook her head like a little child who didn''t want to be separated from her parents. Just then,


    she heard the siren of an ambnce. After mustering all the courage she had left in her, she raised


    her head and looked in the direction of Charis''s body. Several EMTs were carrying her onto a


    stretcher.


    "I almost feel kind of sorry for her," she muttered under her breath.


    "She deserved it. There''s no need to feel sorry for her." Despite saying so, Brandon had mixed


    feelings.


    He truly pitied Charis.


    He never had romantic feelings for her, but he admired and trusted her.


    Ever since they were in school, she had always been a confident and excellent woman. She was


    the cream of the crop, a head above the rest.


    Garrett oncemented that she would always stand out in a crowd. She was just that


    extraordinary.


    But no one would''ve expected that she would end up like this.


    Hearing the tragic news about their daughter''s death, Mr. and Mrs. Turner rushed over as soon as


    possible and threw themselves over Charis''s lifeless body, crying hysterically.


    Luke had always been a calm man who never showed any emotions. But seeing his daughter''s


    bloodied body, he couldn''t help but burst into tears, wailing like a lost soul.


    Catherine was also losing her mind. She didn''t give a damn that her expensive fur coat was dipped


    in bloodied snow. She buried her face in her hands, her makeup runny because of her tears. "We


    just had breakfast with her this morning... How could this be? How could this be?! Oh, Charis!"


    Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of J through the crowd.


    She stood up in a hurry and stormed towards her, yelling, "You! This is all your fault! You''re the


    reason why my daughter went crazy. She said that she would start over again, but look at what


    happened!"


    The scolding made J frown tightly.


    She didn''t do anything wrong. It was Charis who had been hunting her down.


    Catherine raised her hand to p J in the face. However, before she could do so, she was


    suddenly pushed away by Brandon.


    Brandon wrapped his arms around J protectively and looked at Catherine coldly. "Mrs. Turner,


    mind yourself. We are the victims of your daughter''s crime, not the other way around. She got what


    wasing to her."


    Luke rushed over and helped Catherine up. Eyes burning with hatred, he pointed at Brandon and


    said shakily, "The police will investigate. Brandon Larson, I won''t rest until you''re behind bars!"


    Since someone had died, J and Brandon were taken back to the police station for questioning.


    Fortunately, the Larson Group''s building was well-equipped with CCTV cameras.


    The police investigated the whole thing carefully, watching the surveince videos and asking


    witnesses to get a clear understanding of what exactly happened.


    Indeed, it was Charis who had tampered with the window of her office beforehand. It was clear that


    she nned to jump off the building with J, who ended up being saved by Brandon, while


    Charis ended up dead. Both J and Brandon were dered innocent and were not held


    ountable for what had happened to Charts.


    Since the case was clear cut, it was settled soon.


    Catherine and Luke had known how crazy Charts was over Brandon, but they never knew the


    extent of her insanity.


    Because the case was ^incontestable, they had no choice but to ept the harsh reality.


    At the end of the day, the two looked as though they aged ten years as they took Charis''s mangled


    corpse back home in despair.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
