Chapter 611 She is Dead
As the sun began its ascent, Darwin escorted Charles and Chicago to school, the morning routine proceeding without disruption.
Meanwhile, Fiona navigated the streets toward the studio, her mind preoccupied with the day's agenda.
The RH Company's pending case neared its conclusion, a testament to Laura and her team's dedication in securing favorable outcomes.
Over recent months, Laura and her colleagues had successfully finalized several lucrative collaborations, laying the groundwork for future success.
Fiona arrived at the studio with a purpose—to engage in a collaborative brainstorming session with her colleagues, nurturing the seeds of future projects.
Yet, their meeting was abruptly interrupted by Thalassa's frantic arrival.
"What's the matter? Why the rush?" Fiona paused the proceedings, her concern evident.
With a palpable sense of urgency, Thalassa divulged the shocking news.
"Lilian is dead," she announced, her voice laced with gravity.
Fiona recoiled in disbelief. "Dead? How do you know?"
"Not only do I know, but soon the entire nation will be aware," Thalassa whispered grimly.
"Please, start from the beginning," Fiona requested, offering her a glass of water.
Thalassa recounted her frantic attempts to reach Fiona, her desperation driving her straight to the studio.
Presenting her phone, Thalassa revealed a series of gruesome pictures, each one more horrifying than the last.
The scene depicted a dimly lit room steeped in carnage, Lilian's lifeless form amidst the macabre tableau.
"Where did these come from?" Fiona inquired, her voice strained with unease.
"They were sent to me by my foreign classmates," Thalassa confessed softly.
"They claimed the perpetrator was live-streaming the entire ordeal on the dark web."
Fiona's thoughts raced, her mind grappling with the implications of Thalassa's revelation.
"Did Darwin orchestrate this?" Thalassa's question hung heavy in the air, her discomfort palpable.
Thalassa's conflicting emotions mirrored Fiona's own internal turmoil. While Thalassa harbored resentment toward Lilian, the severity of her demise left her unsettled.
Moreover, the potential fallout weighed heavily on Thalassa's mind, particularly the impact on Charles and Chicago should their father be implicated.
Fiona's thoughts drifted to the earlier morning, recalling Darwin's cryptic behavior by the window.
Her suspicions heightened, Fiona hesitated to entertain Thalassa's hypothesis, her mind racing with unanswered questions.
Upon contemplation, Fiona refuted Thalassa's assertion.
"He didn't tell me," Fiona stated casually. "If it truly were him and he desired secrecy, there wouldn't be a livestream."
"Fine," Thalassa conceded, slouching onto the couch.
"After you've finished examining the pictures, please delete them for me. They're too disturbing!"
Fiona glanced at the photos once more, feeling a physical discomfort.
Subsequently, Fiona removed the images as per Thalassa's expectation.
As anticipated, the news of Lilian's murder disseminated across major platforms later in the day.
Despite concerted efforts to remove them, clear images of Lilian persisted, exacerbated by her recent conflict with Darwin.
The public opinion shifted blame toward Darwin and Fiona following Lilian's demise, with Darwin bearing the brunt due to his contentious reputation.
[After seeing the pictures, I couldn't even eat dinner tonight. Seriously, although Lilian was indeed inhuman, did Darwin have to be so cruel and kill her?]
[Weren't they saying Lilian was pregnant? No matter how much resentment you have, it's not right to target a pregnant woman. Even the law is lenient towards pregnant death row inmates!]
[Exactly, the child is innocent. Darwin is too malicious!]
[At least they used to like each other. He was too ruthless!]
[Starting to worry about Secretary Woods, Darwin is definitely a sick psychopath!]
Meanwhile, a message circulated about Lilian's killer surrendering to the police station, prompting a flurry of activity.
Simultaneously, a video detailing Lilian's murder surfaced on a global platform, attracting widespread attention.
[Darn it! I paid to watch it. Can you guess who the killer is?]
[Don't keep us in suspense, just say it!]
[The killer is none other than Lilian's missing brother, Thomas!]
Outside the police station, journalists gathered eagerly, awaiting Thomas's surrender.
Upon Thomas's arrival, cameras swarmed, capturing his admission of guilt.
"I am Thomas, Lilian's brother. I killed her, and now I am turning myself in," Thomas spoke.
He patted the basketball bag he was holding in his hands.
Suddenly, he cracked a smile and said, "I brought her head along with me. Do you want me to open it up and show you?"
In a chilling revelation, Thomas hinted at the grisly evidence he carried, prompting a frenzied pursuit for footage.
