Chapter 255 Strange Parents
Laura's parents exchanged glances. Linda wiped away her tears and said, "My daughter, she's the one I gave birth to. Daughter, your death is so tragic. You left us like this, what are your father and I supposed to do?"
Linda cried heartbreakingly, sat on the ground, slapped her legs, and pounded the floor.
Mario also chimed in. "Laura, my poor daughter! These heartless bosses! You had an accident in their shop, and they didn't even compensate us. What should we do?"
With them causing a scene, there was nothing anyone could do; not even the police could say much.
When someone's daughter dies, it's normal to shed a few tears of sorrow.
Maggie was speechless; she had never seen such cold-blooded parents.
At this moment, they still wanted to extort money from their daughter's death.
The police walked over and said, "The incident of Laura jumping off the building has been investigated. It was a suicide, ruling out any possibility of murder. Your daughter's body is in the morgue; you can take it back for burial anytime."
Upon hearing about taking the body back for burial, Mario reacted strongly. "That won't do."
Linda also said, "No."
These two were greedy and showed a clear preference for boys over girls, and their selfishness was not even slightly concealed—it was blatantly displayed.
The police said, "The case can be closed now; you naturally have to take the body back."
In a moment of desperation, Mario blurted out. "No, my son is getting married next month; we can't bring a corpse back; it's too unlucky."
This statement shocked everyone present.
These words came from the mouth of a father.
Their daughter had died, but they didn't want to bring her back home for a proper burial, finding it unlucky.
Mario realized he shouldn't have said that and quickly, unreasonably, said, "You say it's closed; how can we believe it? My daughter couldn't have committed suicide; it must be murder; you police must investigate thoroughly."
Linda added, "Yes, you must investigate further. That club definitely has issues. They can't just deceive us because we're from the countryside and tell us that my daughter committed suicide."
This time, even the police were speechless, "Sir and Madam, everything has been thoroughly investigated; your daughter did commit suicide; the evidence is conclusive."
Linda asked, "Then why would she commit suicide when she was fine? We spoke on the phone yesterday; she was perfectly fine; she couldn't have committed suicide."
"Yes, a perfectly fine person wouldn't commit suicide."
Maggie fixed a cold stare at Linda and said, "Linda, we need to talk about what you said to Laura on the phone. You used her money to buy a house for your son and didn't even inform her about his wedding date. Were you afraid she would embarrass you if she returned? You used her money and considered it tainted."
Maggie hit a nerve with Laura's parents, each word cutting deep into the ugliest side of their hearts.
Sharon also remembered something and said, "Right, when Laura came back yesterday afternoon, she seemed particularly strange, absent-minded. Later, I heard her phone ring and then heard her crying. She had been borrowing money everywhere recently; you must have pressured her to give you money again; she couldn't bear it and jumped off the building. You killed her!"
Laura's parents, in a state of agitation, quickly denied it. "Nonsense, we are her parents; we wouldn't harm her."
Linda glared fiercely at Sharon, who was somewhat scared, and took two steps back.
Maggie said, "Now that Laura is dead, we'll never know what she was thinking at the last second before jumping off the building. Your intentions are clear to everyone present."
Laura's parents felt guilty, and they were unable to see Maggie's eyes directly.
Maggie sneered. "I just feel so sorry for Laura. You exploited her when she was alive, using her money to support your son. Now that she's dead, you still won't let her go, trying to extract her last bit of value. Do you have a conscience? Linda, Laura was your child too."
This last statement struck a chord in Linda's heart.
