Chapter 923 Corpse Identification
Devon pretended to be startled. "Are you sure? Could you have made a mistake?"
"I hope I did, but the jewellery and clothes are the same as Talitha's, and even the bag is identical... What the hell is going on?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Dear, why don't you have a look at the body?" Devon immediately suggested that Raelyn should identify the body. "I'll call someone I know there, so you can go and look at it right away. I don't think it's Talitha!"
Raelyn's mind was already in a mess. She hung up and tried to call Talitha again, but her phone was still turned off.
She was at her wit's end, so she might as well go and see what was going on.
Raelyn rushed to the morgue immediately and saw a few guards there. After they listened to Raelyn's purpose behind her visit, she entered the morgue. The police lifted the white cloth and she immediately saw that the corpse's face was swollen beyond recognition. The makeup artist's cosmetic skills were extremely advanced. At first glance, the corpse looked exactly the same as Talitha.
Raelyn immediately broke down. "Talitha! It's really you!"
The policeman pulled Raelyn away. "I'm sorry! Please don't touch the body!"
"She is my daughter! Why can't you let me see her?" Raelyn roared.
"Of course you can, but the cause of her death is unclear. We have to wait for the forensic team to perform an autopsy in order to determine the cause of death."
"What the hell is going on?" Raelyn choked with sobs. "Talitha would never go to the wilderness. Someone must have hurt her!"
"We will investigate this case properly. You should calm down, and we will inform you of the results once we have them!" The police made up a lie about the investigation to drive Raelyn out, and he didn't want her to look carefully at the characteristics of the body.
Raelyn cried and called Declan again. "It's Talitha! Dear... It's our precious daughter! Who killed Talitha so mercilessly?"
Devon sneered when he heard that Raelyn had confirmed that it was Talitha's body, but he put on an extremely surprised expression on his face. "Is it really Talitha? How is that possible?"
"I can't believe it either, but I've seen it... Who did it? Who is it? I'll never let them go!"
"How could it be Talitha? Who killed her? Dear, we can't let go of the person who tried to hurt her! We must avenge her!" Declan also pretended to be angry and heartbroken.
"Yes! I must find out the murderer!" Raelyn was extremely sad and she was filled with immense hate.
"Leave it to me. Honey, take care of yourself. I'll call someone I know and ask them what happened."
Devon comforted Raelyn on the phone for a while before he hung up the phone. The next thing he had to do was to frame Talitha's death on Raymond, so he had to think it over.
Meanwhile, in the hospital. Talitha, who had been sleeping for more than ten hours, finally woke up. After she recovered her consciousness, she felt that her head was heavy and there was a sharp pain in her chest. She couldn't help crying out, "It feels so uncomfortable!"
"You're awake? Talitha, are you awake?" Raymond's voice came.
"Raymond?" Talitha turned to look at Raymond. She was not fully awake for a moment, so she asked subconsciously, "Why are you here? What happened to me?"
"Have you forgotten? Last night, you sent me a message and asked me to meet you. I didn't see anyone when I rushed over. I realized that something was wrong, so I called William to arrange for a few bodyguards to search for you everywhere. Finally, I found your whereabouts. They were too vicious. It was fortunate that William's men had arrived early, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Raymond's words also reminded Talitha of what happened last night. "Raymond, it's Natasya! It must be her doing!"
"She did it and she's trying to get away with it. Talitha, what are you going to do now?" Raymond asked.
"I... I don't know!" Talitha curled up in fear. Natasya actually arranged for someone to kill her. If it weren't for Raymond, she would already be dead by now, wouldn't she?
Fear swept over Talitha and she trembled.
After all, although she kept threatening Natasya, it was absolutely impossible for her to actually kill someone. But Natasya was different and she was willing to do anything.
She was completely at a disadvantage when she fought against Natasya. The more Talitha thought about it, the more afraid she became.
Raymond sneered in his heart when he saw Talitha's expression, but his face was full of concern. "Talitha, I have something to tell you and it's very important. I didn't want to tell you, but I'm afraid that I have no choice."
"What is it?" Talitha had a bad feeling in her heart when she looked at Raymond's serious expression.
"I overheard something yesterday about your background. You are not Devon and Raelyn's child."
"What? How is this possible? Natasya and I are twins. We were even born in the same hospital. How could that happen?" Talitha almost jumped up, so Raymond reached out and held her down. "Don't worry, listen to me slowly!"
Raymond began to tell Talitha the whole story about how she and Natasya were fraternal twins. "Your biological father is not Devon, but Declan. That's why Devon is hostile to you."
"This is not true! How is it possible?" Talitha muttered. She said that she didn't believe it, but she subconsciously trusted Raymond's words.
She remembered Devon's attitude toward her. He had been indifferent towards her since she was a child.
There was no difference on the surface, but he would not hug her. His attitude towards her had been very superficial, and it was completely different from how he treated Natasya.
He would always carry Natasya and teach her how to do homework. Besides, Natasya would always receive praises from him as well.
Before this, Talitha always thought that Devon liked Natasya because she was smart and studious. After she listened to Raymond's words, she thought about it carefully and found that it was not the case at all.
Devon acted very differently from Raelyn's attitude towards her. Raelyn doted on both her and Natasya. This was because she was their mother and she wasn't biased towards either of them. Devon was different because Talitha was not his child. How could he like her?
On the contrary, Declan was so kind to her that he ended up in a complete mess because of her. Before he got into trouble, he would always fulfill all of her requests.
Declan would use all of his means to help her, and Natasya used to be very jealous of Declan's kind treatment towards Talitha.
She had also expressed her displeasure in front of Raelyn and Devon, and she said that their uncle was biased.
Declan had never taken Natasya's protests seriously and he had always been very kind to her.
If nothing had happened to Declan, she would not have ended up like this.
Declan would help her and he would not let her be bullied like this.
The more Talitha thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart. Could Raymond's words be true? Could it be that Raymond was talking nonsense to destroy her relationship with Devon and Natasya?
Raymond took out his trump card when he saw that Talitha's expression had changed unpredictably, "Talitha, I have your father's recording here. Do you want to listen to it?"
