Unrecognizable Corpse Mitchel crumbled to the ground.
He tried standing but to no avail.
His legs refused to support him, rendering him motionless on the ground.
Moreover, a numbness spread through him.
It was if his heart had stopped beating, leaving him feeling hollow and lifeless.
"Mr. Dixon!" Matteo arrived with a team.
His eyes quickly followed Mitchel’s gaze to the motionless figure on the ground amidst the pool of blood.
Although already used to horrifying scenes, Matteo was still shaken by the scene before him.
"Mrs. Dixon..." Matteo managed, his voice strained with emotion.
Mitchel brushed off Matteo's assistance and pointed at the figure.
"Go... Confirm," Mitchel ordered in a barely audible voice.
He had to see for himself before he could accept it.
“Of course." Matteo approached the figure in hopes of discerning the identity.
The person, face down and severely injured, was unrecognizable.
Moreover, the blood, mixed with a gruesome, viscous substance that might have been brain matter, soaked the floor.
The sight was so horrific that nobody wanted to look at it.
One of the bodyguards was unable to stomach the scene and retched on the spot.
Matteo squatted near the body and searched for any form of identification or jewelry but found nothing.
Regardless of the identity, it was clear it couldn't be left in such a state.
Matteo instructed a person from his team to cover it with a large piece of black fabric.

"Is that her?" A chilling voice suddenly cut through the silence.
Matteo turned around, realizing Mitchel had approached silently.
After a moment's hesitation, Matteo admitted, "Mr.
Dixon, I'm sorry, but I can’t confirm the identity." "Move aside!" Mitchel commanded.
Matteo understood Mitchel’s intentions.
But personally confirming the identity of the corpse would be agonizing.
If it were Raegan, the memory of the sight would haunt Mitchel forever.
In a gentle attempt to dissuade him, Matteo suggested, "Mr.
Dixon, maybe we should wait for the forensic team to confirm.
This isn't something you should see...” His words were cautious, but the grim reality was unmistakable.

The gruesome mixture of brain matter, skull fragments, and blood was a sight no one should have to witness.
However, Mitchel disregarded Matteo’s advice.
He pushed past him with determination and knelt down by the covered body.
Mitchel seemed outwardly calm, but his inner turmoil was evident in the way he dismissed Matteo.
Moreover, his body quivered with barely contained emotion.
Seeing Mitchel in distress, Matteo tried to intervene once more.
"Mr.

He looked like someone who had walked through hell only to find a sudden ray of hope. Amidst the chaos, one of the bodyguards called out, "There's another one over here!” Everyone rushed over and found a man on the ground. He had miraculously avoided serious injuries, except for a sharp bamboo stick impaling his leg. Then, like a gust of wind, a figure rushed over, knelt beside the injured man, and cried out, "Henley! Henley!" Henley!” Matteo's eyes widened in disbelief. It was Raegan, very much alive. Upon noticing Matteo, Raegan quickly asked, "Where's the ambulance?" Matteo was

If something happens to me, can you take care of my parents?” "You'll be fine!” Raegan firmly disagreed with tears cascading
down her cheeks.

going to be okay. I know it..." Raegan's mind remained hazy. Exhaustion had overwhelmed her, and she teetered on the brink of surrender. Tessa's knife had left a cut on her skin. At that critical moment, Henley had appeared out of nowhere. He had charged at Tessa, and both of them had tumbled down the stairs. All Raegan saw was the blood spattered across the floor. She had feared the worst for Henley, and the thought of him dead because of her brought her
