Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 704

In the snow lay a woman covered in blood. The snow beneath her was stained red from the blood, blooming around her like a deadly red rose.

Charis's body lay lifeless on the ground floor of the Larson Group's building. All her bones had been shattered to pieces after falling from such a height.

Looking at the mangled body on the ground, Janet couldn't shake off the feeling that Charis was staring at her with her eyes wide open.

Such a sight made her hair stand on end. Unable to bear it, she looked away and buried her face in Brandon's arms.

"Have they contacted her parents?" she asked shakily.

"Garrett did. They should be here soon," Brandon answered expressionlessly as he stared at Charis's corpse. He took a deep breath, took off his scarf and wrapped it around Janet. Stroking her back comfortingly, he asked, "Do you want to wait for me inside?"

Janet shook her head like a little child who didn't want to be separated from her parents. Just then, she heard the siren of an ambulance. After mustering all the courage she had left in her, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Charis's body. Several EMTs were carrying her onto a stretcher.

"I almost feel kind of sorry for her," she muttered under her breath.

"She deserved it. There's no need to feel sorry for her." Despite saying so, Brandon had mixed feelings.

He truly pitied Charis.

He never had romantic feelings for her, but he admired and trusted her.

Ever since they were in school, she had always been a confident and excellent woman. She was the cream of the crop, a head above the rest.

Garrett once commented that she would always stand out in a crowd. She was just that extraordinary.

But no one would've expected that she would end up like this.

Hearing the tragic news about their daughter's death, Mr. and Mrs. Turner rushed over as soon as possible and threw themselves over Charis's lifeless body, crying hysterically.

Luke had always been a calm man who never showed any emotions. But seeing his daughter's bloodied body, he couldn't help but burst into tears, wailing like a lost soul.
