lissa Greenwood raised her glass to her lips but didn’t drink.
Her eyes were dark and unfathomable as she silently watched Eliana Reed swallow the alcohol.
Eliana was clearly delighted, holding the money and ready to live it up abroad, which excited her, "lissa, don’t worry, once Mom settles down overseas, you can co find ."
"Okay," lissa put down her wine glass and smiled.
"Why aren’t you drinking?" Eliana noticed that lissa’s glass was still full.
"It’s nothing," lissa shook her head, "Mom, I’m actually really grateful to you. If everything had gone smoothly, I really would have planned to take care of you until the end, to let you live in comfort."
Eliana frowned. lissa suddenly saying these things made her feel uneasy.
lissa’s complexion changed, and a look of hatred flashed in her eyes, "But, heaven doesn’t always follow our wishes. Yolanda Greenwood and the others have been causing trouble, pushing us ti and ti again."
"lissa," Eliana panicked, "What are you talking about? Is it...?"
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a sudden cramp in her abdon, which imdiately broke her out in a cold sweat.
She slid off the sofa, and then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She couldn’t speak a word anymore.
She looked at lissa in horror, letting out cries of "Ahh, ahh, ahh..."
"Mom, just bear with it, just bear with it, it will be over soon," lissa held Eliana, her eyes reddening, "Mom, don’t hate , I had no choice, we’ve reached a point of no return."
She clutched Eliana’s head tightly, "Mom, if you have to hate soone, hate Yolanda Greenwood. There, you have to watch over , keep helping ."
"Uh, uh, uh..." Eliana’s muffled voice grew fainter and fainter, and her struggling limbs gradually stopped.
When it was all over, lissa still held Eliana, and finally, her tears began to fall.
"Mom, I’m sorry. If I didn’t do this, we would both be dood." She wiped her eyes fiercely, and then burst into a tirade, "Why couldn’t you have just agreed to take the bla for ? I really would have saved you. Why didn’t you believe ? Why did you force ? You all forced !"
She cried for a while, with her eyes swelling grotesquely, and then she took out her cell phone.
Before dialing, she looked at Eliana’s pale face, "Mom, help one last ti. From now on, every Qingming Festival, I’ll burn lots and lots of money for you."
lissa called Cooper Coldson’s phone.
It took a while before the other side picked up, Cooper’s voice sounding low, as if he had been woken up.
"lissa?"
"Cooper..." lissa sobbed, "Co quickly, co quickly, my mom... she committed suicide."
"What?" Cooper sat up from the bed almost instantly.
"Co quickly, co quickly!" lissa cried hysterically, her voice sounding tragically desperate.
"Wait there, I’ll be right over." Cooper dressed rapidly and drove to Eliana’s house.
As soon as he entered, he saw lissa distraught, holding Eliana, drenched in blood.
"lissa, what happened?" Cooper rushed forward, crouching beside her, anxiously questioning her.
lissa was in a daze, and after a while she turned to Cooper, "Cooper, I... I really have no mother anymore..."
"Stop crying for now, what exactly happened?" Cooper grasped lissa’s arm, unsure of how to comfort her.
"Tonight, my mom suddenly called over, asking to co and keep her company," lissa continued through tears, "So I ca."
She still clung to Eliana’s body, "When I got here, I found that all the servants were gone, only she was here, and by that ti she seed to have already drunk quite a bit."
"I asked if sothing was wrong? She wouldn’t say, just asked to stay with her."
"Later, she started saying a lot of nonsensical things, and the more I listened, the more it felt off, as if she was settling her affairs."
lissa cried even harder, "Then, then she just suddenly fell off the couch, and threw up a lot of blood; she told she was leaving, and that I had to take care of myself."
"How could this happen?" Cooper was utterly baffled, "Why would she commit suicide?"
"I don’t know, I don’t know, she didn’t say anything." lissa shook her head frantically.
"Have you called the police?" Cooper asked.
lissa shook her head again.
Cooper confird with her once more, "Do we need to call the police?"
"Yes, call the police," lissa sniffled, "I completely panicked just now, all I could think of was finding you..."
"Cooper, I don’t have a mother anymore, both of my mothers are gone now, and my dad is still..." She could hardly continue.
"It’s okay, it’s okay, you still have , I’m here for you." Cooper reported to the police and accompanied her to the station to give a statent before sending her ho.
"lissa, get so sleep for now. Don’t worry about anything else, I’ll take care of it." Cooper hesitated, then kissed her on the forehead.
lissa took the chance to wrap her arms around his neck, "Cooper, please don’t leave, can you stay with ?"
"I’m not leaving, I’m just here..." Cooper pointed behind him, "I’ll sit on the sofa, right with you."
lissa looked at him pitifully, "Cooper, will you one day leave as well? Everyone is leaving ..."
"Don’t think nonsense." Given the situation, Cooper had also considered it, and he gently reassured lissa, "lissa, if you’re willing, let’s have our wedding after your mom’s funeral."
"Really?" lissa’s heart leaped with joy; indeed, this tactic was effective.
"Yes, really. Now get so sleep." Cooper forced a smile and pulled back his arm, taking a seat on the sofa.
At the hospital the next morning, Noah Coldson received the news.
"Eliana Reed committed suicide?" Lola Gold was dumbfounded, "Does she seem like the type to take her own life out of guilt?"
She turned to Yolanda Greenwood on the hospital bed, "Shouldn’t she have fled?"
Clearly, Lola understood Eliana’s character well, and Yolanda also found it strange.
"She ran out of money." Noah spoke with resignation, "She even sold her house, claiming they blackmailed her out of ten million there."
Lola and Yolanda exchanged glances, silently coming to a mutual understanding.
"Was lissa present at the ti?"
"lissa and Cooper were both there. It was Cooper who called the police."
"That’s brilliant." Lola couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up repeatedly, "This lissa is simply ruthless to the extre, even killing her own mother when necessary."
Noah was sowhat surprised, "You suspect lissa killed Eliana?"
Pushing the bla onto the dead and receiving Cooper’s sympathy..." Adam Sterling clicked his tongue twice, "If this is true, all I can say is lissa is a master among masters."
