Chapter 839 Chapter 839 He didn't bother disguising his voice when he spoke those words.
Daisy's eyes widened in alarm, a sudden wave of fear washing over her.
"You-!" "Thud!" Brielle and Aiden stepped out of the cab, immediately noticing an unnatural stillness in the air.
Just as Brielle was about to turn the corner, Aiden stopped her.
"Ms. Brielle, there's a smell of blood." Both Aiden and Addison had undergone professional training; their noses were exceptionally keen to the scent of blood.
Brielle frowned and, by the streetlights, saw a body lying a short distance away. The figure was dressed just like Daisy and hadn't moved for a while. She wasn't sure if this was a trap or if someone was lying in ambush.
She pulled out her phone, decisively called the police, and then returned to the taxi with Aiden.
The police arrived quickly, lifting Daisy's body onto a stretcher.
As they drew closer, Brielle could see it clearly-a single, clean shot, no unnecessary suffering.

She had thought Daisy was merely injured, not dead from a single bullet.
As the body was carried past her and Aiden, a gust of wind blew, lifting a corner of the white sheet covering it. Daisy's face was frozen in her final expression, full of disbelief and terror.
Brielle's mood darkened instantly.
Daisy was dead.
Gone so abruptly.
Brielle felt like she was on the brink of understanding something, yet it remained just out of reach.
All the clues seemed so intangible.
Why was Daisy at the bar tonight? After being kicked out by the Barnes family, she should have laid low, like Alivia.
They were used to living high and mighty, respected by everyone, and now, fallen from grace, naturally, she wouldn't want to be seen.
Yet Daisy had shown up there, seemingly waiting for someone.
Brielle's lips pressed into a thin line, her hand clenched slightly at her side.
The police quickly notified the Barnes family.
Not only did the Barnes family go into a frenzy, but the entire social circle of Beaconsfield was buzzing.
After all, she was the former lady of the Barnes family-no one expected her to end up like this, sprawled on the street.
With a heavy heart, Brielle returned to Pearl Estate, took a bath, and then sat down with a pen,ng three names onto a piece of papero Andrew, Jaired, Kenzo.
She felt restless, twirling the pen in her fingers.
QUMS One moment she'd cross out Kenzo's name, the next she'd put a check next to it, eventually leaving both marks on all the names.
At three in the morning, she rubbed her sore eyes and set the pen down.
The paper was barely legible now, as if it held the definite answers, only to be negated one by one, turning into a blot of ink stains. By daylight, the news of Daisy's murder had already hit the headlines.
