Chapter 230 Her death has nothing to do with you
Cecilia Glendon took a while to walk back to her room from the deck, unfamiliar with the cruise ship, and had to ask several people along the way to find her room.
She took out her room card from her pocket and was about to swipe it in when the phone in her bag suddenly rang.
She just had to put the room card away for the time being and pull out her phone.
It was a text message sent to her by Hedy Clark.
Cecilia Glendon glanced at the content of the text message and thought it was strange because there was only one room number on it.
She hesitated for a moment, but turned around and headed for that room number.
She had only seen Hedy Clark once before and didn’t have time to talk. She sent a strange text message at this moment and didn’t know what was going on.
Cecilia Glendon counted the room numbers all the way through, and after a few minutes, she finally stood in front of Hedy Clark’s room.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, and waited a few seconds, no one came to open it, and there was no movement inside.
Cecilia Glendon thought it was strange and knocked again, but no one opened, so she had to fumble for her cell phone and call Hedy Clark.
After the call was dialed, she faintly heard a cell phone ringing from the room, and she listened for a moment against the door.
“What’s going on …” Cecilia Glendon muttered twice and reached for the doorknob, but didn’t expect the grip to open the door.
The moment the door opened in front of her eyes, Cecilia Glendon smelled a very strong smell of blood, she subconsciously frowned, but when she saw Hedy Clark lying on the floor, she was really shocked.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“Hedy Clark!”
Cecilia Glendon rushed to her side. At this moment, Cecilia Glendon did not think about whether she was being set up or trapped by someone, she just wanted to make sure Hedy Clark was safe, but when she held Hedy Clark’s body, she found that she was limp as if she had no bones.
There was still blood coming out of the back of her head.
All Cecilia Glendon could do was cover her wounds while calling out anxiously, “Somebody! Help! Help!”
She hadn’t even had a chance to check Hedy Clark’s breathing.
Just as Cecilia Glendon screamed for help, people came around one after another, but when they saw the scene they all screamed in terror again.
There were more and more people outside, and things spread about farther and farther, to the point where they ended up directly interrupting the auction that was going on.
“Cecilia Glendon, you killed someone!” I don’t know who in the crowd shouted this, followed by many people taking out their phones to film the scene.
There were so many people here that no one even knew who the person who just called out that sound was, but Cecilia Glendon heard it.
That’s Gail Brown’s voice!
Cecilia Glendon’s eyes sweep through the crowd and she sees Gail Brown leaving the crowd, she wants to go after her, but Hedy Clark is still lying in her arms, she can’t leave!
“Hedy Clark … Hedy Clark, wake up …”
Cecilia Glendon shook Hedy Clark’s shoulders in a feeble attempt to rouse her, but Hedy Clark still lay in her arms as before, unconscious.
Just when Cecilia Glendon was already scared to tears, Abbott Benson’s voice appeared in her ears.
“Cecilia Glendon,” he said, his voice as reassuring as ever as well as deep.
Cecilia Glendon looked up towards him and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and rushed down: “Abbott Benson …”
“Don’t be afraid.” Abbott Benson walked to her side and pulled her up off the floor into his arms, not worrying if the blood on Cecilia Glendon would stain his clothes, he just held her in his arms like nobody’s business.
“Hedy Clark … Hedy Clark is dead …” Cecilia Glendon clutched his front lapel with tears and horror in her eyes , “You believe me, she was like this when I came here, I don’t know who did it …”
A person who was obviously smiling at her just a short while ago, suddenly lay lifeless in front of her, even if psychologically strong as Cecilia Glendon, she could no longer be strong.
“You’ve got one minute to get out of here.” Moses Walker, who arrived one step behind Abbott Benson, finally arrived and took one look at the scene to see what had happened, and then coldly scolded those who were still watching to leave.
When everyone had finished, Moses Walker went to Hedy Clark’s side and squatted down to check it out.
“The man is dead.” Moses Walker looked around again and found no murder weapon, only the puddle of blood at the scene and the body of Hedy Clark, he frowned and said to Abbott Benson, “This is a little tricky.”
“Whether it’s tricky or not, get on it!” Abbott Benson said in a cold voice.
“The boat is already heading for shore, someone called the police and they will be here in a few minutes.” Moses Walker nodded, “Cecilia Glendon, you’d better recall the details carefully in the time it takes for the police to arrive, the situation is very bad for you right now.”
“I don’t know …” Cecilia Glendon was a little incoherent and pale, “I just got a text message from Hedy Clark before I came over …”
“Where’s the phone?” Abbott Benson asked.
“The phone …” Cecilia Glendon was so asked, only to remember that she just saw Hedy Clark after the rush to throw the phone directly on the ground.
Where did she leave it?
Cecilia Glendon slowly moves out of Abbott Benson’s arms, but doesn’t dare let go of his shirt with her hands as she looks around but doesn’t see her phone.
That’s not all, she actually didn’t even find Hedy Clark’s cell phone.
In a flash of lightning, Cecilia Glendon thought of the Gail Brown she had just seen!
“Gail Brown!” said Cecilia Glendon with a glare in her eyes, “Gail Brown must have taken my phone with Hedy Clark! I just saw her!”
With that thought, Cecilia Glendon’s mind suddenly cleared up. It had to be Gail Brown and there was no mistaking it!
“Find her.” Abbott Benson said coldly to Moses Walker, “This has nothing to do with Gail Brown.”
“Understood.” Moses Walker nodded, then turned to go out.
Abbott Benson also pulled Cecilia Glendon towards the outside, the corridor was no longer crowded with onlookers and was basically cleared.
“Now, you think again about what just happened.” Abbott Benson gently patted Cecilia Glendon on the back to calm her down.
“Nina Mick… Nina Mick must have known about it too.” Cecilia Glendon held Abbott Benson’s hand tightly and said, “I met her as I was coming out of the venue and it was as if she was intent on pestering me to talk, and when I went back to my room again I got a text from Hedy Clark. But I got here and pushed the door open and all I saw was that she had fallen to the floor …”
When she said this, Cecilia Glendon almost choked up and could not speak.
She did have a bad thing with Hedy Clark, but when Hedy Clark told her later that she regretted it, her heart actually forgave her.
But Hedy Clark is now leaving in this way …
“Don’t cry.” Abbott Benson cupped her face, compassionately wiped the tears away from her face, and said softly, “Her death has nothing to do with you, and I will find out the truth about this matter.”
