Chapter 9
But this action instantly infuriated Jeffrey: “I told you to stay away from
“aur
don’t you understand?”
He suddenly pulled his arm out of Nicole’s embrace, which frightened Nicole and instantly drained the color from her face.
“Jeffrey, I know you’re worried, but Bella is an adult now, she won’t be in any trouble.”
Not mentioning Bella is fine, but once Bella is mentioned, Jeffrey’s whole demeanor becomes
icy cold.
Just then, he received a phone call
Jeffrey picked up the phone, and on the other end, it was unclear what was said, but all Jeffrey could hear was his sudden anger: “Keep searching if you can’t find it! How can you lose a whole person? If anything happens to Bella, you know the consequences yourselves.”
After hanging up the phone, Jeffrey’s face still harbored a storm.
Coincidentally, another phone call came in.
This time, Jeffrey did not answer immediately. He stared at the number on the phone screen for a while.
Nicole noticed that his expression seemed to be filled with panic..
The hand holding the phone also began to tremble slightly.
When he picked up the phone, his voice trembled slightly, “Officer William, have you found it?”
clang-
The phone fall
phone fell to the ground, and Jeffrey stood frozen, as if his soul had been sucked out.
Luckily, the quality of the phone was good. With this one fall, the hands–free device was directly knocked off.
Officer William’s voice came through the phone, “We did indeed find a female corpse in the reservoir in the eastern suburbs. Judging by the age and clothing, there is a high probability that it is Ms. Arnold.”
Nicole was also stunned.
Is Della dead?
Did she commit suicide?
Did she love Jeffrey so much? Did Jeffrey commit suicide on his wedding day?
But the next second, Nicole thought of something else.
Jeffrey’s feelings for Bella were so deep that if Bella really died because of this matter, he would definitely blame himself, and Bella would also become the most special person in his heart forever.
No one could defeat, r
But what does it matter?
no one could replace, the power of a deceased special person, which no one could shake!
She died, and Jeffrey was left all alone, with no one e
e else to compete with her.
Nicole slightly raised a triumphant smile, but she knew she shouldn’t be laughing now. She forcefully pinched her thigh, and tears immediately welled up from the pain.
She sobbed, covering her mouth, letting the tears tall as she said with a sobbing voice, “Bella! How could this happen? Is there anything you can’t solve? You can talk to me, I can help you. I’m your sister–in–law.”
perly. “Who told you
“Shut up!” Jeffrey shouted angrily,
d you that person was Bella?”
Nicole was yelled at and dared not cry, “Didn’t Officer William just say that there was a high possibility?”
“There is a high possibility, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it is! Bella is a strong girl, she wouldn’t seek death.”
Saying that, Jeffrey stood up and was about to leave
Nicole bit her lip and tearfully grabbed onto him, saying, “Where are you going? Tonight is our wedding night, are you going to leave probeer
me alone?”
Jeffrey turned around and narrowed his eyes dangerously, saying, “Nicole, you should be aware of your own identity.”
“What kind of sister–in–law do you think you are?” he suddenly furrowed his brow, questioning, “Is Bella’s disappearance related to you?”
Nicole vehemently denied, “I was the bride today, wearing my wedding dress all day long, with so many makeup artists and bridesmaids around me, I didn’t even have a chance to say a few words to Bella.”
Jeffrey hurriedly left, leaving only one sentence: “If I find out that Bella’s departure is related to you, Nicole, you should know what awaits you”
Nicole shook and let go of the hand that was holding onto his sleeve
Jeffrey rushed to the eastern suburban reservoir that Officer William had mentioned overnight.
I saw the body that had already been covered with a white cloth.
Officer William pointed to a sealed evidence bag and showed it to him, saying, “This was retrieved from the water, it should be her clothes. Take a look and see if it’s Ms. Arnold’s.”
Jeffrey didn’t need to identify at all
He recognized it at a glance
This light blue long dress was Bella’s favorite dress.
It was her 18th birthday when I gave her the birthday gift..
It has been seven years already, the style of this dress has become outdated, and the color is not as soft and vibrant as it was
beginning, but it is still Bella’s favorite.
“Mr. Castro“”
was in the
Officer William nodded and said comfortingly, “Mr. Ca passed away.”
Castro, please accept my condolences. It’s such a pity that such a young girl has
Jeffrey lightly murmured, “It was hers.”
Jeffrey didn’t speak for a long time.
Officer William thought that he was overly sad, so he didn’t blame him, just comforted him, saying, “I heard that Ms. Arnold was a very talented photographer. People in the art field may be more emotionally fragile and sensitive.”
“She was not tragile”
Officer William
im paused for a moment and said, “I’m sorry, I misspoke.
Jeffrey shook his head and said, “She wasn’t Bella.”
“But didn’t you just identify that it was her clothes?”
“She had already donated all of her clothes.”
Jeffrey spoke as he pulled back the white cloth covering the body
The people around were all startled.
Especially Officer William, “Mr. Castro, what were you doing?!”
Jeffrey saw the girl’s face and instantly felt as if he had lost all his strength.
“Mr. Castro, what happened to you!”
Jeffrey closed his eyes and sighed with relief, “It’s not her, it’s not her, that’s good.”
Shaper
“Mr. Castro, your phone rang. Do you want to answer it?”
Jeffrey looked at his phone and saw that it was Nicole.
He hung up directly.
Nicole called again, and he hung up again.
When the phone rang for the third time, Jeffrey had reached his limit and exclaimed, “What the hell?!”
The
e person on the other end of the phone was startled by his anger, and their voice trembled a little. “I’m sorry to disturb you, Mr. Castro. There is a package for you. Are you available to sign for it now?
Express delivery?
Jeffrey frowned, “Where is my package?”
“Yes, I delivered it to the front gate of your villa. Are you available to sign for it now?”
“I didn’t have time now.”
“Okay, sorry for bothering you. I will contact you again tomorrow.”
“Wait a minute,” Jeffrey suddenly thought of something, “Who sent it to me?”
“It was Miss Bella.”
Jeffrey suddenly stood up and ordered sternly, “I am going back immediately, you wait here!”
