Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 435

According to the police report, Elliot died the day before yesterday, and the body was thrown into the river. It would not have been discovered so soon if the body hadn’t floated to the surface due to the storm last night.

He suffered a blow to the back of his head, and there were multiple stab wounds all over his body. So, from the looks of it, the police’s preliminary assumption was that it might have been a case of revenge homicide.

However, they were awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death.

While Leanna read through the report, Zoe remarked somberly, “It goes to show that what goes around comes around. Fate punishes the wicked and immoral. Still, it’s a little frightening, don’t you think? The guy I just spoke to on the phone a few days ago is now nothing more than a corpse.”

Leanna put the phone down. She didn’t know what to say either.

After a while, she asked abruptly, “What about Queenie?”

“I don’t know.” Zoe had a thought and asked, “You can’t be wondering whether she killed him, right? That’s impossible. Elliot was a huge guy. Queenie wouldn’t have been able to overpower him, let alone toss his body into the river. It would’ve taken a fair amount of strength to do that. The killer’s probably a man who’s about the same height and size as Elliot.”

Leanna shared the same opinion. If it hadn’t been for her encounter with Ron this morning and his professing to not have seen Queenie lately, she might’ve considered Queenie the biggest suspect when she saw the news.

However, as it was, Queenie didn’t have Ron to help her, so she couldn’t have killed Elliot and dumped the body herself.

Zoe started speaking again, “Now that Elliot’s dead, why isn’t there any update on the bribery case with those two judges? They sure know how to keep their cool. If I were in their shoes, I would’ve turned on Violet by now.”

“Just wait a little longer,” Leanna said.

The two judges were closely linked to the Kramer Group, so they couldn’t act rashly. Even if they wanted to get back at Violet, they wouldn’t do anything that would harm their profits.

In any case, Violet’s life was hell right now. Ever since her birth mother’s appearance, her father insisted on letting that woman move in with the family and even showed signs of wanting to marry her, despite all of Violet’s temper tantrums.

Her birthday celebration had been a grand affair with tons of reporters in attendance, so all of Highside had heard about what happened by now, and she was far too humiliated to leave the house. She spent her days flying into a rage over that woman or throwing things around in protest.
