It was from an unknown number. Even its contents were very strange, hence I simply treated it as a spam message.
After taking a nap, I received a call from Heidi.
"Did Mr. Grant do it?" Her voice was a little shaky.
I frowned. "What did he do?"
"Looks like you still don't know." Heidi sighed." Serena's body was found in the suburbs. She was suspected to be tortured to death by several people."
I was stunned. "Wait a minute."
I removed the phone from my ear and pulled up the news app.
Serena was really... dead.
"Is Mr. Grant not with you?" Heidi asked from the other end of the call.
I frowned and could not help but feel cold when I recalled the words she first said to me. "Theo isn’t despicable to that extent."
Seeing that I was angry, she quickly apologized.
I did not expect Heidi to question me as soon as she called me. It turned out that many of her changes in
the past three years were not all for the better.
After hanging up the call, I pulled up the text message.
The 'her' in the text message was referring to Serena, right?
I called the number but it was switched off.
I went downstairs to pour a glass of water and pondered for a moment before calling Theo.
There was only silence on the other side of the phone.
"Do you know that Serena is dead?"
