Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1012 Confession

“Mr. Su, please tell me the truth. Were you really the only one in that room?”

Although the doctor had already confirmed that Lucia’s death had been an accident, she still was a prominent figure. For that reason, Eleanor needed to have all the facts covered before taking it to the public.

“My Queen…”

Steven didn’t have the chance to say more. A servant had stepped inside and interrupted him with a sudden announcement.

“My Queen, Mrs. An is here to see you!”

Steven immediately frowned, confused as to why she was there.

“Let her in.”

Eleanor waved a hand and averted her eyes towards the Phoenix Palace gate.

An instant later, Carla walked in.

“Grandmother…”

Carla said as she bowed to Eleanor. Her eyes rapidly locked onto Lucia’s corpse next to the matriarch, causing a shiver to run down her spine.

However, before Eleanor could say anything, Dorothy came forth towards Carla and grabbed her through the shirt, screaming, “Callie! You! You did this! Confess now!

How could you be so cruel? Lucia was your family! How could you murder her?! You monster!”

Carla didn’t try to break free from her aunt’s grip, allowing her instead to vent her anger for as long as she needed.

At that moment, however, a voice broke through the screaming.

“My Queen, Carlota has woken up and is now waiting outside.”

With a slight nod, Eleanor ordered, “Let her in.”

Carlota carefully walked inside, but as soon as she saw Lucia lying on the floor, she ran up to her and fell on her knees. “Lucia! Lucia! Why isn’t she waking up?”

Carlota had just regained her consciousness. She had no idea about Lucia’s death.

“Carlota! Tell me the truth. How did she die? Was it Callie and Steven who plotted against her? Tell me!”

Letting go of Carla, Dorothy made her way to Carlota and winked at her.

Carlota understood the signal and didn’t think twice before turning to Eleanor as she confirmed, “Yes! I saw Carla coming to the room a few minutes ahead of Lucia’s death. They must have killed her!”

Satisfied with Carlota’s words, Dorothy knelt in front of Eleanor and cried, “Mother, did you hear that?

It was her! It was Carla! Ever since this girl returned to Yu Sea City, she has only stirred up trouble. She had always been intimidated by Lucia. She feared that my daughter would f

r her crime?”

“I’ll discuss this matter with the people from the law department.”

Carla was standing in silence when Eleanor turned her attention to her and said, “Callie, until I know how to proceed with your case, you are not allowed to leave the east yard without permission.”

“Yes, Grandma.”

Carla nodded.

“Okay, you all may leave now. We’ll discuss Lucia’s funeral later,”

Eleanor commanded wearily, gesturing with her hand for everyone to leave.

Outside the Phoenix Palace, Lori was anxiously waiting when she spotted the movement of people coming out.

She promptly sought out for Dorothy and walked up to her, eager to know what happened. “Mom, are you okay? What did Grandma say?”

Dorothy didn’t know her heart could break anymore, but it did when she saw Lori. She still couldn’t believe she had only one daughter left now.

Yet, paradoxically, to look at Lori was also a solace. It was comforting to know she still had her by her side after all.

“Lori, let’s go back first. Then, I’ll tell you everything.”

Dorothy’s words carried more kindness than any other that she had said to Lori before. Caught off guard, the girl quickly nodded and helped her mother more diligently than she normally would.

At the same time, her lips curve into a smirk.

Lucia might have been her biological sister, but once Lori heard she was dead, she couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of relief and joy.

The elder sister, whom she had always been forced to look up to was now dead. From that day on, her mother would rely on her for the future of the family.
