Corentin not only notified Anne but Jeremy as well.
When they rushed to the scene, they saw Marshall and Beth lying neatly on the ground, as well as a woman whose neck had been slashed. Corentin was sitting in the car with his head hung and his long legs on the ground. His body and his arms were covered in blood. There was no way to distinguish where the wounds were.
The first thing Jeremy did was to check on Marshall and Beth, but he found their bodies had long gone cold, and their pulses had already stopped.
"Dad! Mom!" Jeremy has a terrified expression. He could not believe it, and his eyes immediately got teary. "Why? How did this happen?"
Anne was not willing to believe it as well. She went up to them to check for their vital signs. They truly have died.
"It's this assassin who captured them. When I rushed over, she killed both of them. This wouldn't have happened if I had agreed with Tommy's request ..." Corentin was heavy-hearted.
Anne asked, "What request?"
"Send you to him."
Anne was stunned.
This was highly possible. The possibility was so high that it made Anne feel terrible.
Tommy wanted her, so he killed Marshall and Beth? He was simply too insane!
"It's all because of you. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way! " Corentin stood up. His amber-colored eyes looked extremely sullen. "How do you want me to tell Ash? She's pregnant now. How could she accept this?"
Anne was at a loss for words. She was the one who got Marshall and Beth killed. She was the one who made Ashlynn, who finally found her parents and was enjoying the wonderful relationship with her family, an orphan...
All things considered, she truly was extremely guilty.
"What else did Tommy say?" asked Anne.
"Are you trying to free yourself of any faults?" asked Corentin.
"I just want to capture him."
"This is the price you have to pay to capture him!" Corentin pointed angrily at Marshall and Beth, who were both lying on the ground. "Even I, myself, almost died at the hands of this woman!"
"You should've brought me with you when he called," Anne said weakly. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"Is that so? Do you think Anthony would spare me if something happens to you? He'll definitely seek revenge like a mad dog!" Corentin was fierce.
Anne turned around and looked at Marshall and Beth on the ground, as well as Jeremy, who was still in pain, and she felt like crying.
'Tommy, I'll tear you up into a million pieces!!'
"I only have one request. Don't tell Ash. Regardless of what reason we use, we have to keep this from Ash until she delivers the child!" That was the only request Corentin had.
Jeremy carried Marshall and Beth into the car. After he closed the car door, he rushed to Corentin and punched him in the face. "Why didn't you save them? Why?"
Corentin did not fight back. "I'm sorry..."
It was when Anne lifted her gaze that she noticed a chemical plant in the distance.
It was very normal to have a chemical plant in a remote place like this, so she did not think too deeply about it.
The first thing they did after returning to the city was to take care of Marshall and Beth's funeral. They buried them together.
There were only three of them standing in front of the tombstones.
When the light breeze brushed past them, Anne felt desolate from the deepest end of her heart.
What should Ashlynn do? How much pain would she feel if she found out her parents died like that?
Also..., she was not even present when they were buried.
Anne's phone rang. She glanced at it. It was Ashlynn who called.
She left in a hurry after receiving Corentin's call, so Ashlynn must have been worried about her.
Anne did not dare to answer the call, especially in front of Marshall's and Beth's tombstones.
