NovelFinishChapter 1779:
He covered his face with trembling hands, his voice raw with emotion. “His death was so sudden, so unexpected.
How do | even begin to break the news to Aunt Zoe? She's been messagingnonstop, desperate for updates.”
Jayden'’s eyes widened. “You haven't told her yet?”
Brook shook his head miserably. “I can’t find the words. It’s all too much—not only will she have to cope with her
husband's death, but she'll also have to learn of his infidelity. | fear it will shatter her completely.”
Jayden fell silent, at a loss for how to proceed in such a delicate situation.
They fell silent for a while.
Finally, Elyse spoke up tentatively. “How do you know Corrie is responsible for his death?”
Brook said, “Her car was found at the abandoned factory. The trunk was stained with blood. She must have fled
there from the primary crscene after the murder. The police are investigating that location as we speak.”
Elyse was puzzled. “Wasn't she in the car?”
Brook shook his head grimly. “No. After disposing of the body, she ditched the car and vanished into thin air.”
Then he sighed and added, “To make matters worse, there are no surveillance cameras in the vicinity. We have
no way of knowing if she had an accomplice.”

aback.
Bertha’s face paled with alarm. “Why have you brought officers to our home? What is this about? We haven't
done anything wrong!”
Elyse’s eyes blazed with fury. “Nothing wrong? Your daughter Corrie is a murderer. Tell us everything you know—
now!”
Bertha and Nicholas exchanged stunned, disbelieving looks.
“Corrie killed someone?” Nicholas choked out. “Who?”

“A member of the Owen family,” Elyse answered coldly.
Bertha collapsed into sobs. “What have | done to deserve this? She's ruined us!”
Nicholas, his face dark with fury, clenched his fists. “Where is she? I'll break her legs myself!”
Watching their raw devastation, Elyse hesitated. This wasn’t an act. She turned to Jayden, voice low. “Could they
really not know where she is?”
“Let the police handle it from here. We're done,” Jayden replied.
Back in the car, an uneasy silence stretched between them.
