Chapter 648

Fortunately, Edmund’s hug and steady heartbeat calmed her down gradually.

“Why did Flora do that? She can’t be so vulnerable that she would kill herself because of being blamedfor drugging others.” Chelsea was confused. Flora had experienced a lot of things, and she seemedlike a tough woman.

Edmund wore a stern look. “It must be Eric. He must have done something. Don’t forget that he pickedup Flora and brought her home.”

“He is the murderer,” Edmund judged without any hesitation.

He was convinced that Flora was forced to death by Eric, although he had no adequate evidence. Thepolice autopsy report would reveal the truth.

Hearing the word “murderer,” Chelsea snuggled closer in Edmund’s arms. He gently stroked her slimback and said, “Don’t sleep in the nap bed tonight. Sleep with me.”

He didn’t want to sleep separately from Chelsea, and he was afraid that she would be scared afterwhat had happened.

Chelsea was indeed terrified, so she did not refuse. She nestled in his arms as soon as she got intobed, which made Edmund feel bittersweet.

Diane fainted on the spot when she heard the news that Flora had jumped into the sea.

Although she had often argued with her, she had never thought that Flora would die.

After all, she was her mother, and it was fake not to grieve.

After she woke up, Diane, accompanied by the police and Eric, went to see Flora for the last time.

After the white cloth covering Flora’s body was lifted, Diane immediately fell to her knees and criedaloud. “Mum!” She could never have imagined that one day her family would be ruined.

Now that she was in prison with her father, and her mother had died, what was it if not a broken home?

Eric dragged her up into his arms, and his tone was sullen as he comforted her, “I’m sorry for her. Shewill rest in peace.”

The staff then pushed Flora away. Diane cried so hard that she almost fainted.

Eric stayed by her side, holding her firmly.

Diane slowly calmed down, tears in her eyes, and asked, “Why did she do this? Even if she tricked me,why would she give up her life? If the truth that she had drugged you is exposed, she’d be ashamed,right?”

Now that Flora was dead, Diane couldn’t ask anything from her.

Eric consoled Diane, genuinely meaning to help her, “I’ll do my best to ensure you suffer less. Sinceyou were framed, you might receive a suspended sentence, and that would be great.”

Diane cried, “Eric, you’re the only one I can trust now. Help me, please.”

A suspended sentence would be ideal,” Diane continued. Probation was usually not enforcedafterward, as Sonya’s sentence was suspended last time. Diane believed that she could have a similaroutcome if Eric did something about it.

Eric couldn’t resist smirking at Diane’s words. Reduce her sentence? A suspended sentence?

She was so naive. He wouldn’t let her out since she was in the police station.

Besides, he had even gotten Flora killed. How could he save Diane?
