This sudden twist of events made Luna’s eyes widen in shock.
She bit her lip and struggled to release herself from Cheryl’s grasp. “I didn’t try to kill you, Cheryl!”
However, Luna had underestimated the sheer amount of strength a person could have when on the
verge of dying.
Cheryl gripped her neck so tightly that Luna felt as though her neck would snap at any moment!
Blood had stained Luna all over, and the pungent smell of blood, along with Cheryl’s terrifyingly tight
grip on her neck, made Luna’s face turn purple, and her eyes rolled.
She struggled against Cheryl’s grip, thinking that she was about to die right then and there.
However, humans have frighteningly sharp instincts.
Just as Luna thought she was about to die, she immediately released herself from Cheryl’s grip.
With a thud, Cheryl’s body slammed against the railing behind her, and the contents of her stomach
gushed onto the ground.
Her face was pale, and her head had tilted to one side.
With that, Cheryl died.
The scene before her was so disturbing that Luna could not help gagging.
She covered her mouth with her hand and was retching so violently that tears started to form.
As soon as she turned around, she realized that a few security guards were standing behind her,
dumbstruck.
They seemed to have been standing there for a while, and one of the more timid ones had even wet his
pants out of fear.
Luna turned around, not daring to even give Cheryl a second glance. She said to the guards, her hand
still covering her mouth as she retched, “Call the cops!”
0 ne of the braver ones among the guards quickly called the police and notified the hotel manager to
evacuate the guests.
If the police arrived, everyone would know that a murder had occurred, and the consequences would
be dire.
The hotel manager stormed into the hall and whispered a few words in Charles’ ear.
Charles quickly ended the wedding ceremony under the pretense of having things to take care of at
Landry Group.
After five minutes, most of the guests had left the hall. Joshua glanced around the room, frowning.
Cheryl should have returned already, considering so many exciting things had happened inside the
hall.
However, she seemed to have disappeared into the crowd as soon as she stepped foot here and did
not even return to watch Heather and Malcolm’s wedding.
Even though she was a curious girl, that could not explain her disappearance, could it?
Did she not come to witness this spectacular wedding?
As soon as he thought of this, Joshua furrowed his brows and took out his phone to call Cheryl.
Her phone rang on the balcony.
At this moment, the guards had placed security tape all around the balcony so that no one would be
able to enter.
Luna was crouched against a wall on the side of the balcony, unable to move.
Even though she was a brave person, she was still an ordinary woman.
When she was in Banyan City, the state of Dr. Robert when he died had haunted her for weeks, even
though she had only caught a glimpse of it from a distance.
This time, she had witnessed Cheryl dying right before her eyes.
On top of that, during her struggle when Cheryl had tried to choke her, Luna had even accidentally
touched the contents of Cheryl’s open abdomen…
The sticky texture made Luna shudder every time she thought of it.
Luna crouched in a corner and could not stop retching.
Just as her throat was beginning to hurt, Luna lowered her head to glance at her blood-stained hand.
All of a sudden, she recalled the sight she had seen, as well as the sticky texture of Cheryl’s organs…
Luna did not dare to cover her mouth with her hand anymore.
She slumped against the ground, retching so hard that she felt as though her organs would come right
out of her mouth.
Meanwhile, Joshua started searching through the hotel as he continued to call Cheryl on her phone.
He had a feeling that something terrible must have happened to her.
No young woman would let her phone leave her sight, and on top of that, she would never miss any of
his calls.
Soon, Joshua arrived at the balcony after following the sound of Cheryl’s ringtone.
