Chapter 673 A Fisherman Has Found A Body
A villa built on a cliff by the sea collapsed overnight and was completely engulfed by the sea. This event became a hot topic before dawn.
At first, everyone just regarded it as an incident of substandard construction.
Soon after, someone revealed that the villa's owner was Hathaway Ross, who had caused a domestic and international sensation.
[In case some people don't know her, let me briefly explain that Hathaway is the woman who was engaged to Darwin six years ago.]
[I remember. Isn't she the one with a particularly chaotic personal life? She even attempted to frame Secretary Woods but was globally criticized, which backfired.]
[The memory is vivid. Back then, she was always marketing herself as a princess online but was suppressed by Darwin!]
Everyone was fervently discussing this scandalous gossip from six years ago that had caused a sensation domestically and internationally.
An even bigger scandal exploded.
[Breaking news! Yesterday, when the house collapsed, Darwin himself was inside!]
[Where did this fake news come from upstairs? Darwin and Hathaway were sworn enemies. How could he possibly go to Hathaway's villa in the middle of the night?]
[It wasn't Hathaway's villa, it was Annie, Heather's sister. She kidnapped Secretary Woods and lured Darwin there! I even received a few pictures of the scene, all with the police!]
This person then posted several pictures of the scene.
It could be seen that there were, indeed, many police officers nearby.
[I can testify. There was indeed a big incident in Bay City yesterday, and all the police officers in the city were mobilized. I just don't know if it was because Fiona was kidnapped.]
[With such a big public outcry, shouldn't the official response come out?]
And so it went.
Because of the leak, rumors spread all over the internet.
By the afternoon, Bay City officials finally released a case briefing.
It clearly explained the whole incident that happened yesterday.
It also stated that the collapse of the villa led to the disappearance of two individuals, a foreign man and an Army man.
As soon as this announcement was made, it immediately caused a huge uproar on the internet.
Not long after, a police station issued a statement with the hashtag [#Major Mass Murder Case Solved#] after clicking on it. There were two horrific murder cases involving 27+8 individuals that had previously caused a huge uproar. The content of the case briefing was explosive, to say the least.
In the lengthy briefing, it started with the death of Hathaway. Then, it continued with the continuous violent actions of the Astralis family's young master, Robert, and the involvement of Hathaway's elder sister, Annie, who was the next in line to take over the Ross family. It also mentioned the alleged kidnapping of Fiona. Every detail was laid out clearly in the briefing.
With this statement and the collapse of the mansion case, netizens pieced together a complete storyline.
[So, Hathaway died? All these murders, kidnappings, and the killing of Darwin were all done by Robert and Annie to avenge Hathaway?]
[I am shocked and confused. Remember, those who followed the gossip then knew that the Ross family broke off the engagement. Later, it was Hathaway who provoked Mr. Solomon. Mr. Solomon and the Ross family have had a successful partnership these past years. Why would Darwin's family have any issue with Hathaway's death?]
[Oh my, if Darwin is that Armie man from the collapse of the mansion case, then I can only say that Mr. Solomon and Secretary Woods really suffered unjustly. They were leading their lives peacefully.]
[@SolomonInvestment @Darwin @Thalassa, whoever you are, can you please deny these rumors? I am getting really anxious!]
Thalassa rushed back to Bay City from the Walker family's old residence.
First, she went to the Emerald Pool area.
Charles had gone out with Fiona, leaving only Chicago at home, diligently studying.
Thalassa heard about the heart-stopping events that occurred here last night.
After seeing Chicago, Thalassa turned around and held Charlotte tightly in her arms.
Charlotte rarely had such intimate interactions with others, and she stiffened.
"Thank you." Thalassa's voice trembled.
Charlotte pondered for a moment.
Charlotte felt somewhat helpless. So many people thanked her today as if she had done something extraordinary.
Actually, Charlotte felt that she had only done what was expected of her.
"You're welcome," she said softly.
"You can add me on Facebook and ask me for anything from now on!" Thalassa took out his phone. "We are best friends now!"
Charlotte looked at Thalassa in shock.
Charlotte impulsively added Thalassa on Facebook.
Shortly after, Thalassa hurriedly left the room.
Two hours later, Thalassa arrived near the area where the villa collapsed.
Because it involved Darwin, anchors, and news media were everywhere as the car drove forward.
Thalassa frowned.
Thalassa made several turns and entered a hotel.
When Thalassa saw Fiona, she was on the phone, her face pale and her eyes slightly swollen.
"You're here," Fiona greeted Thalassa calmly. "Charles just took his medicine and fell asleep in the next room. Do you want to go see him?"
Thalassa furrowed her brows slightly.
With red eyes, Thalassa ran over and hugged Fiona tightly.
Fiona's body stiffened slightly. "Don't make me cry, okay?"
"If you need to cry, then cry. Why hold it in?" Thalassa said, crying themselves. "Are those idiots crazy? Hathaway is dead, but what does it have to do with you? Why?!"
Thalassa said, crying heartbreakingly.
Fiona gently patted Thalassa's back. "It's okay. He must still be there, waiting for me to save him. I will definitely bring him back. Don't cry as if Darwin has died."
Fiona choked up for a moment and then firmly said, "He promised to come home."
Hearing Fiona say this, Thalassa became even more sad.
The storm last night was incredibly fierce, and Darwin's chances of survival were slim.
But back then, wasn't it also believed that Stuart had no chance of surviving?
At that time, even Thalassa thought that Stuart was undoubtedly dead, and Thalassa even went to the temple with everyone to pray for Stuart's spiritual ascension.
But didn't Stuart come back?
"Yeah! Kenny also contacted a professional rescue team, and they're on their way! We will definitely find Darwin and bring him home!" Thalassa nodded forcefully.
Just at that moment, Christopher rushed in from outside.
"Madam, a fisherman has found a body!"
In an instant, Fiona's blood ran cold.
A moment later, accompanied by Thalassa and Christopher, Fiona arrived at the corpse's temporary resting place in a hurry.
Despite the cold winter, they could still smell the nauseating stench from a distance.
