Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 265

Joyce’s mind went blank as though her soul had left her body, so to speak.

After a while, Joyce slowly regained consciousness. All she could feel was that she had been in a short daze, so she was not sure whether she had misheard those words earlier.

She interrupted Hazel, “Sorry, Hazel, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly. Who’s missing now?”

When Hazel first heard the news, she was shocked. Right when she was about to inform the Solace family about it. Joyce called her. With that, she told Joyce the whole incident without hesitation, completely losing her usual calmness.

Only after Joyce interrupted her did she calm down and realize what that piece of news would mean to Joyce.

Hazel went silent for a while and regained her senses. After deliberating for a moment, she said, “Mr. Hernandez called me a while ago and said that while Mr. Solace was on his way to the site, a car accident, and the car fell into the river valley.”

he got into

Hazel paused for a while on that note. She could not bring herself to continue saying what was on her mind.

That would make sense, for Joyce was only in her early thirties. Not only was Kendrick the chairman of Solace Corporation, but he was also the patriarch of the Solace family, Joyce’s husband, and the father of their son.

“What happened next?” asked Joyce stiffly.

After all, Hazel did not follow Kendrick to Nardor, so she could not have known much about the situation there. She could only pass Hugh’s words on to Joyce. Yet, the truth was way too cruel for Joyce. Hazel could not help but utter in a heavy tone, “The car has been salvaged, and the driver’s body was found in the car. Kendrick’s assistants, Lloyd Fenton and Dylan Fairwood, had also accompanied Kendrick to Nardor. Their bodies were also found by the nearby river. Only Mr. Solace was nowhere to be found.”

Judging from the message Hazel had gotten in Nardor, they learned that Kendrick had gone missing.

Even so, everyone could more or less guess what the outcome would be. The river valley was deep, and the river was turbulent during that season. Because of that, the car that had fallen into the valley was ripped apart, and even the driver’s corpse was deformed. As for Lloyd and Dylan, it was said that their corpses were gruesome to look at.
