"Nacho, please calm down. We just found the bracelet and a few pieces of clothes. We guess that they are likely to belong to Amelia, so we hope that you can come to the police station."
How could Abigail die? It was impossible!
Nacho couldn't care about anything else, he immediately called Cedric. Soon, they went to the police station together.
When they arrived, the policeman who was in charge of the case handed those things to Nacho and Cedric. When Cedric looked at the bracelet with his hands trembling, his mind went blank."
"It's not true... This is fake!" Nacho threw the bracelet heavily on the ground heavily, grabbed the policeman's collar and roared at him.
Looking at Nacho's horrible face, those policemen were scared.
"Nacho, please calm down. At present, we can't fully confirm that it is the dead body of your sister."
"Listen carefully, Abigail definitely didn't die!" Nacho looked at those policemen with red and angry eyes. He looked so fierce and even horrible, which scared those people.
"Enough, let's go back first. The dead girl can't be Abigail. She must be waiting for us at home."
Cedric looked fiercely at the policeman who didn't dare speak, and then said to Nacho in a low voice. Nacho and Cedric took the bracelet and left the police station. When they returned to the Xis, the lights were on. Cornelia and Athena were sitting on the sofa. Even Joanna, Earl and Cheryl were all in the house.
It turned out that everyone saw the news that the dead girl might be Abigail, so they all wanted to find out what was going on.
"Ashe, Nacho, tell me, what's going on? The dead girl is not Abigail, right? Just tell me!"
Cornelia was the most anxious. She walked to Nacho and Cedric, and asked them with a trembling voice.
Both Cedric and Nacho didn't utter a word. They were young and successful, but they were horribly silent at this moment.
"Tell me! Isn't she Abigail, right? The police must have made a mistake, right?"
Seeing that Nacho and Cedric were silent, Cornelia roared angrily.
"Cornelia, calm down. It is just a guess. The police can't make sure whether she is Abigail or not, so they asked Cedric and Nacho. Don't be overreacted."
Seeing that Cornelia was so excited, Hayden stepped forward and held her in his arms.
"How can I calm down? I promised Sunny that I would take good care of Abigail. What if something bad happens to Abigail? What should I do?"
"I'm sorry." Joanna clenched her fists. After a long time, she walked to them, bowed and apologized. When Cedric looked at Joanna, his eyes were filled with tears, but he couldn't say a word.
"Abigail was sitting alone on the bench in the park, I saw her and took her home. I asked her to wait for me at home. When I returned home with Angelo, I found that she was missing. I have already sent someone to find her. I thought that Abigail had gone home, but I didn't expect..."
"Abigail..."
Cornelia and Athena burst into tears. Nacho rushed out of the Xis, while Cedric stared at Joanna and then walked upstairs sadly and painfully.
Looking at Cedric's lonely back, Joanna felt so painful in her heart. Her back was stiff. Just as she was about to stop Cedric, Cheryl went forward to hold Cedric ahead of Joanna.
"Cedric, don't worry. The police must have made a mistake. Abigail will be blessed by god. She will definitely be fine."
Cheryl gently comforted Cedric. Looking at Cheryl's expression, Joanna was a little sad.
She looked at Cedric's back gloomily with a hint of loneliness on her face.
"Joanna, let's go back first. Maybe Abigail is safe now."
"Okay."
Joanna nodded with melancholy in her eyes.
She prayed to the sky, hoping that Abigail would be safe and sound. "Really? Don't show any flaws. Remember, I don't want anyone to know where she is."
After hanging up the phone, Earl sneered.
"Cedric, I would let you suffer the pain that Arvin had suffered."
"Earl, what's wrong?" Blithe woke up and didn't see Earl on the bed. He got up and walked to the living room. Earl was standing by the French window and looking out of the window.
Under the dim light, Earl's face looked extremely cold and horrible. The dim light fell on his face, making him look gloomy.
"Have you implanted the microchip into her body?"
"Believe me! Didn't you make a phone call to confirm it just now? My assistants are going to become yours, sweetheart." Blithe kissed Earl's neck and said ambiguously.
Earl pinched Blithe's chin and said coldly, "You can't make any mistakes."
Joanna burst into tears. She begged Joanna in a hoarse and trembling voice.
"How can I help Cedric?" Looking at Cornelia's sad face, Joanna felt pain in her heart.
Cornelia was a kind woman, just like Ashley. But Joanna really didn't want to have anything to do with Cedric anymore.
"Joanna, do you really hate Ashe so much?" Seeing that Joanna was in a dilemma, Cornelia asked.
Did she hate Cedric ?
Joanna didn't know whether she had forgotten her hatred or not.
She didn't say anything but clenched her fists tightly. Looking at Joanna who didn't say a word, Cornelia whimpered, "I know that Ashe has done so many terrible things to you and hurt you a lot. Please help Ashe for the sake of Sunny. If something happens to Ashe, how can I explain it to Sunny? Abigail has died. If something bad happens to Ashe..."
"Joanna, please persuade Cedric." Earl, who had not spoken for a long time, looked at Cornelia and said with concern.
He raised his eyebrows, glanced at Cornelia, and said to Joanna gently.
"Angelo."
"You will save his life if you persuade him. I know that you really want to help Cedric. Don't leave any regrets for yourself." Earl held Joanna's hand and said firmly.
Hearing it, Joanna looked at Cornelia and nodded slightly. "Then... I'll have a try."
Abigail's death was a great blow to Cedric and Nacho.
Joanna did not know if she could persuade Cedric.
Upstairs, the housekeeper took her to Cedric's bedroom.
Since the police confirmed that the dead girl was Abigail, Cedric had been locking himself in the room and refused to see anyone. He even didn't pay attention to Kerr. In order to let Cedric come out, Cornelia deliberately took Kerr who was crying outside his room. She hoped that Cedric would come out after hearing Kerr's crying.
However, obviously, it was useless.
Cedric was like a walking dead that had lost its soul. He was lost in his own thoughts and refused to come out.
The housekeeper opened the door with a spare key, then they smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
