Chapter 605
“There's a murder! Help!”
Amidst her grogginess, Mia heard a clamor of noises around her. She struggled
to open her eyes, but her vision swam. She couldn't see anything clearly. Pain
hummed in her head as she was overwhelmed by
dizziness.
She sat up and leaned against the railing behind her. Her hand paused midair.
What was she doing
outside?
She vividly remembered she was in Laura's bedroom when she was attacked.
She fainted after the attacker hit her head. Why was she outside after she
regained consciousness?
Locating the noises around her, she chanced a glance at the weathered figure
lying in the puddle of blood at the end of the staircase. The color drained from
her face as she shrieked, “Grandma Laura!”
What happened? How did Laura fall from the stairs?
Mia clenched her jaw as she hauled herself up, but her effort was in vain. She
crawled her way toward the staircase. She glanced over at Laura, who was
drenched in blood, and screamed, “Somebody! Please
help!”
Soon, a group of people emerged from the first floor, with Timothy in the lead. His
expression darkened. once he saw Laura lying unconscious on the ground.
“Call the ambulance! Hurry!”
Sharon screamed in terror. “Oh my god, what happened? How did Mom fall from
the stairs? Are you guys
blind?”
One of the maids knelt on the floor as she explained, “Mrs. Barrett Senior said
she wants to have a private chat with Ms. Bowen. She didn’t want us to be
present. We heard some quarreling, and Mrs. Barrett Senior was already on the
floor when we rushed over to the scene.”
Sharon was flabbergasted. “Are you implying that Mia pushed Mom off the
stairs?”
“It's not me! I did not push Grandma Laura!”
Mia gritted her teeth, mustering all her might to heave herself up. She could
barely manage to steady herself as she gripped the railing. Her vision was
swimming when she stood up, and she was on the
verge of throwing up.
Still, she recomposed herself and said in a strained voice, “I went to meet
Grandma Laura, but I was attacked in her bedroom. I blacked out, and Grandma
Laura was already there when I woke up.” She glanced over at Timothy, hoping
that he'd believe in her.
He looked like someone had punched the living daylights out of him. “Get the
bodyguards to seal off the residence. No one is allowed to leave or enter before
this case is cleared.”
Laura was hauled onto an emergency stretcher and brought away. The sight of
the blood puddle was
jarring.
Mia did not expect something this terrible to happen after she woke up. Who was
trying to frame her? The audacity of that person to harm Laura!
Shelly snorted. “Timothy, I think you can’t leave Mia out as a suspect. She's the
only one who's with Grandma when it happened, after all. The maids also heard
them quarreling before Grandma fell from the stairs. Grandma couldn't have
fallen off the stairs on her own, could she?”
“Shut up!” he snapped. A glint of murderous intent gleamed in his eyes.
Just then, the Lane family arrived at the scene. Mia's brothers darted toward her
when they saw how pale she was. She was standing alone at the staircase.
“Mia, are you alright?”
Dominic noticed a metallic scent wafting in the air. His expression changed
drastically. “Mia, are you
hurt?”
