Chapter 1189 - 1189: She Must Die
"In this place where no one would notice, do you really think it's that hard to make a person disappear? You've been pulling strings in the psychiatric hospital to try and get Eleanor Spencer out, haven't you? Haven't you wondered why the money you've spent and the people you've bribed have all vanished without a trace?" Aurelia Shaw's red lips curled into a smile so cold it pierced to the bone.Cymbeline Jennings shivered all over, suddenly realizing something.
"It was you!"
Aurelia smiled but said nothing. Although she was smiling, Cymbeline felt as if a cold snake was coiled around her neck, baring its sharp fangs, ready to bite the veins in her neck at any moment.
Instantly, Cymbeline felt a chill spread across her entire body.
Remembering the trump card in her hand, Cymbeline forced herself to calm down: "Let's make a deal. You hold a press conference to clear my daughter's name and release her, and I'll tell you the truth."
"You seem to be getting ahead of yourself, Aunt Cymbeline," Aurelia arched her eyebrows, the way she addressed Cymbeline made her heart tremble.
Lowering her head to play with the diamond necklace in her hand, her long eyelashes veiled her deep, enigmatic eyes, suggesting her interest lay entirely in the necklace. She said, "If you want to tell the truth from back then, go ahead; if not, I can find it out myself. If you know, it means others know about what happened back then too, so why would I need to hear it from you?"
Seeing Aurelia about to leave, Cymbeline quickly spoke out of fear of ruining her plan: "This necklace was the one I found in your mother's room on the day she disappeared. The necklace was dropped in the corner, and the Shaw Family was in chaos because of your mother's disappearance. I took advantage of no one noticing to take the necklace."
Cymbeline looked at the thoughtful Aurelia, "Your mother was someone who cherished jewelry dearly and was extremely careful. Would she let her necklace fall on the ground? Unless..."
Unless...
Cymbeline voiced the suspicion in Aurelia's heart, "Unless this necklace wasn't hers, it was accidentally dropped by the person who captured her."
"Do you want to know who that person is?" Cymbeline opened the door and gave Aurelia a glance as she walked out, "If you want to know the full truth, come with me."
Aurelia stood still for a moment in thought, then followed Cymbeline. Just as she stepped out, her arm was suddenly grabbed with tremendous force, pulling out long trails of blood, and Cymbeline fell backward in front of her, with nothing but the empty railing behind!
As Cymbeline was about to fall, she regretted it. What use were all the things Nico Spencer promised her? Aurelia's words had rattled Cymbeline. With Mason Nightshade's tight control over Q City, could Nico Spencer really rescue Eleanor Spencer?
If she fell, she might lose her life. Who could guarantee that the devious Nico Spencer would keep his promise? If she died, blaming Aurelia for stealing and then pushing her down out of rage, both she and Aurelia would end up badly, and Nico Spencer would have the last laugh.
As Cymbeline fell, she clutched Aurelia's wrist tightly, her fingers digging into Aurelia's flesh. Aurelia was pulled forward by the sudden force, and Cymbeline flashed a sinister smile, attempting to switch their positions and let go—
At this moment, the people below noticed the commotion above and let out a series of gasps.
Mason Nightshade, just stepping through the door, his pupils constricted suddenly, all his muscles tensed, and deep within his dark, brooding eyes, a storm of madness was surging! Fear, coldness, the intent to kill—emotions so intense they were hard to articulate were roiling in those pitch-black eyes.
