A Moment in Destiny

“No! I did commit intentional assault, but the person didn’t die!” said Sierra plainly, “The person is still in the first room on the left on the second floor. Go take a look! Ashley, I made this for your dad, he would definitely like it!”

Everyone turned their gaze on the plate and it had a slab of meat on it. It was a short piece of meat and it shrunk from the deep-frying. Nobody could tell what meat it was!

The police quickly went up to the second floor and found Payne lying on the bed in the room. His white pants were covered with blood and there was even more blood between his legs. There was a pair of scissors with blood on it on the floor. Sierra also went upstairs and she noticed that everyone was looking at her with a shock and suspicious expression. She said nonchalantly, “Yes! I cut it off and made it into two dishes. Two unique dishes! Hahaha…”

…

Sherry suddenly received a call from Leon. She was with the Sutton family and they were about to have dinner together when she suddenly got the call.

“Sherry, come to the Jones family’s house right now!” said Leon in an unusually low voice.

“The Jones family?” Sherry was taken aback. “Leon, I…”

She wanted to tell him that she wasn’t going to go, but Leon quickly interrupted her, “Sherry, your mother died! Ashley said that you should come over right now no matter what.”

Sherry felt a sudden buzz in her head, and she was in shock. She wasn’t listening to what Leon said after that.

“What happened?” William took the phone from Sherry and asked worriedly, “Leon, I’m William. What happened?”

“Sierra is dead!” repeated Leon, “You guys can decide if Sherry should come to see her mother for one last time. Ashley told me to let Sherry know and that’s all I can say. It’s up to you guys whether you guys decide to come or not!”

After half an hour.

William brought Sherry to the Jones family.

The police were also at the scene. The servants and bodyguards all had stern and emotionless expressions on their faces!

Leon’s words kept repeating in Sherry’s mind, “Your mother died… Your mother died…”

She walked into the living room and saw two bodies on two stretchers on the floor. Both bodies had a white cloth on their face.

Ashley was curled up into a ball on the sofa. Leon was comforting her as she sobbed quietly. She was pushing away Leon’s hand and rejecting his touches.

The butler then said, “Miss Jones, Miss Murray and Mr. Rowland are here!”

Ashley stopped crying. She raised her head and looked at Sherry, her face was tear-streaked. She stood up and staggered as she ran towards Sherry, “Sherry, I’m sorry…”

Sherry was still in shock. She felt a shiver run up her spine.

“Sherry, Sierra was shot to death by my father. I couldn’t protect her… She put up with my father’s abuse throughout the years. Everything is our fault, the Jones family owe you a big apology…”

Sherry wasn’t in the mood to listen to Ashley. She tried to stay calm and asked quietly, “Which one is her?”
