Chapter 563

When Richard saw the odd look on her face, he asked, "What's wrong, Miss McKinney?"

Leanna closed her eyes wearily as she shook her head. Then, she bit the tip of her tongue and recovered a shard of her composure and rationale before instructing, "Please go to the Pearson Group in my stead and find out what Aidan is doing. If you see him, inform him that Celia is dead and tell him to come here. If you don't…" she drifted off and took a deep breath before continuing, "If you can't find him, you can go home after that."

Richard nodded. "Got it. I'm going right now.''

After he left, she tried her best to stop herself from trembling as she said to the police officer, "Please take me to see her… Body."

"Come with me."

In the mortuary, the police officer lifted the white linen, revealing the familiar face to Leanna. Her lips trembled as she tried her best to stop herself from crying.

"We're trying to contact her family members," the police said. "Do you know how we can get in touch with them?"

"I have no idea," Leanna croaked.

"Have you met her boyfriend before? What do you think of their relationship? Had they been in an argument before?"

A few seconds passed by silently, and Leanna shook her head in reply. Everything she knew about Celia was only surface information.

No, even that superficial information is not true.

All she knew was the name Celia Green, everything else about her—her stories and family—was a lie they fabricated just to fool her.

Leanna suddenly found this entire farce utterly ridiculous. The last thing she would expect was all her doubts from the past would one day reveal their true self to her in this way.

When she left the mortuary, she felt that the sunlight outside was especially glaring today.
