Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1011 Negligent Homicide

His heart lurched at the sight of her.

Fear paralyzed Steven, and his face was ashen. His stomach clenched, and he felt like he might throw up. He forced his body to step back as his throat tightened. The dagger that could have had hurt him pierced her chest!

Steven figured out that Lucia accidentally stabbed herself when she fell.

Carla saw what happened, and her eyes were red with tears. She suppressed a shiver. And in a voice edged with fear, she managed to mumble, “How could this be? I will call the doctor now…”

Steven suddenly grabbed her cold and trembling hand, refusing her to leave.

He quickly got himself together. Now that he could think sensibly, he placed his hand under Lucia’s nose, feeling her breath. A moment later, he turned to Carla, “It’s too late.

Callie, stay out of this and go back to your room.”

Steven stood up while holding Carla’s gaze. And without changing his clothes, he marched out of the bedroom.

“Steven, where are you going? I’ll go with you!”

Carla yelled and ran after him.

Steven immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her. His eyes were pleading as he scanned her blanched face, “Callie, listen to me. It is best that you aren’t seen with me, so we wouldn’t be in tremendous trouble. But if you go with me, it will make things more complicated!”

“But…” she stammered.

“Callie, I know you didn’t mean to hurt her! The evils she brought on herself are the hardest to bear. Don’t take it to heart,”

Steven reasoned out, soothing her before he stumbled out of the room. Soon, darkness engulfed his retreating figure.

Carla could only stare at him moving away with unease settling within her. Suddenly remembering Carol, Carla hurriedly went to find her. As expected, Carol was knocked out and forcibly thrown in the backyard.

“Madam… You are back,”

Carol moaned, shaking her head. She felt dizzy, with everything around her spinning.

“Carol, listen to me. Go to Steven’s room and stay there. Don’t let anyone in. I’m going to see my grandfather!”

Carla ordered as she helped Carol get up.

Slightly feeling better, Carol nodded. She had no idea what was going on.

Carla went to see Arthur immediately. And she vividly recounted every detail to him.

Arthur momentarily stood frozen when he heard what happened to Lucia.

He fell into deep thought. After a while, he calmly said, “Callie, Steven was right. You can’t help him with that. It would be easier to solve if we insist that Lucia killed herself by accident after he bullied Steven.

Yu Sea City has its laws. I assure y

e dagger somehow got stuck into her chest…

I have explained everything to the matriarch and the legal examiner has checked her body. Miss Lucia was indeed stabbed to death by her own knife…”

Steven uttered these broken sentences as he fixed his gaze at the matriarch, Eleanor. She was sitting on her ceremonial chair, and her face was devoid of any emotion.

Eleanor was also sad for losing one of her granddaughters. But she had to handle the matter according to what was morally right and fair.

“Dorothy, I will make a thorough investigation into this. But it seems that Lucia indeed killed herself by mistake based on the current evidence,”

Eleanor imparted, emitting an audible breath laced with sadness.

“No! Mother! It can’t be true! There is no way that Lucia killed herself. It must be Steven and Callie who murdered her!”

Hearing her mother’s words, Dorothy instantly loosened her grip on Steven and earnestly knelt before Eleanor, and screamed, “Mother! Lucia is your granddaughter. She can’t die like this. Please, Mother, invoke justice, and bind the murderer to the law!”

Dorothy held Eleanor’s leg, pleading helplessly.

Eleanor couldn’t help patting her shoulder sadly. After all, she had seen Lucia grow up. She was also as devastated as Dorothy. She gave Dorothy’s shoulder a gentle squeeze and assured her, “Dorothy, I know you can’t accept the fact that you have lost your beloved daughter. But since it has happened, you have to calm down. I will solve this matter justly. If it turns out that Lucia was murdered, I will not spare the murderer!”

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Dorothy adamantly shook her head and insisted, “Mother, I don’t think we need to look into it anymore. It must be Callie and Steven, who had conspired to kill Lucia!

If you don’t believe me, you can bring Callie here and interrogate her!

And Carlota! She has also witnessed what happened!”
