Chapter 214
Even in death, these obsessions lingered. She thought she could rise to power through the child. With a child, she would have security. Motherhood would ensure her status. But it was all just a fleeting dream. After saying these words, Linda stopped breathing, her eyes wide open, refusing to close. She died with her eyes open.
When the police came down again, Linda was already dead. They cordoned off the area. Miranda was escorted down by the police. Her hair was disheveled, her face pale, covered in blood. Tears were still swirling in her eyes and she looked terrified with her hands trembling uncontrollably. The police tried to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid.
Tears slowly streamed down Miranda’s face with her expression filled with fear. As her assistant arrived, she hugged her and cried bitterly.
When Nina, who had heard the news, rushed over, she was shocked to find it already over. All she saw was a corpse. In that moment, she was stunned. How could Linda have died from a fall? She looked again not far away, and there was Miranda, sitting there, sipping hot water.
“Miss Walker, the suspect is dead!” the police informed Nina. “If there are no other suspects in this case, it should come to a close!” Nina listened, but did not speak, her gaze fixed on Miranda, harboring suspicions.
Linda and Miranda had only met a few times, so it was suspicious that she would come looking for her and then end up falling to her death. Linda’s body was taken away. They went back to the police station, but this time it was for the case of Linda’s death.
Miranda sat there, draped in a coat and her face was devoid of color. She was trembling as she spoke, her voice choked with tears, “I don’t know why she would come to find me… Maybe because I’ve seen her a few times at the York residence, we’ve had pleasant conversations. When she came to see me, I warmly welcomed her. Ask my assistant.”
The assistant added, “I didn’t want to let her in originally, but Miranda is very accommodating. Seeing her pitiful state, she let her in and even offered her tea. Who knew she would act like this and injure Miranda’s hand like that? Miranda is an actress and she needs time to recover before filming.”
Miranda continued, “I never thought she would want to kill me…” She started crying again, “If I hadn’t fought back desperately, I would probably be dead now. When the police arrived at the balcony, Linda migh have known she couldn’t escape, panicked, tried to kill me but didn’t make it in time, and then she slipped and fell!”
Miranda cried even harder, “I watched her fall with my own eyes. There was so much blood and I was so scared. I killed her!”
“This can’t be blamed on you, Miranda. She was a criminal, not deserving of pity!” the assistant defended.
Miranda wiped her tears with a tissue, “Regardless, it’s a human life. Even if her intentions weren’t pure, she’s dead now, let’s not dwell on the harm she caused me.”
Nina listened to their conversation. Linda’s reason for wanting to kill Miranda did not seem convincing at all. She would only want to kill Miranda if Miranda had done something to anger her. Did she really slip and fall?
Nina frowned, her expression serious, feeling that Miranda was likely lying. But since she wasn’t at the scene, it was hard to determine.
After a thorough investigation, the police confirmed that Linda had indeed slipped and fallen, suffering multiple fractures, and her unborn child was lost.
Setting aside other matters, Linda’s death was truly tragic.
