Chapter 163

It was 2:00 pm in Nathan’s office at the police station.

“Ms. Youngworth, I have good news and bad news for you.”

Nathan took a deep drag from his cigarette before snuffing the butt against the ashtray.

Hera waved the smoke may, a look of disgust apprent on her face. Before she could sprok up, Nathan’s voice cut her off.

“The good news is, we finally found Isabella and her mother”

His words elicited a frown from Hecaimmediately. Il Nathan chose to start with the good news instead of the bad news, that could only mean that the bad news carried more weight in this case.

“What’s the bad news?” she asked

“We found their corpses.” As Nathan spoke, he pulled out a case folder from his drawer and passed it to Hera

Hera lowered her gaze slightly, her long and thick eyelashes fanning out from her eyelids, as she gazed at the brown paper envelope.

Even though she was already mentally prepared for the bad news after receiving Nathan’s call this morning, she was still saddened by the news.
