Chapter My Toyboy 304
Chapter 304
Luke's body kept twitching uncontrollably. A hole had been blown in his head, and blood gushed out continuously. Soon, the ground was stained bright red.
After a while, his body finally stopped moving. After firing that shot, Shirley stood frozen in place. While they were in the car, she had taken advantage of Luke's distraction and slipped his handgun out of the pocket of his coat
It was easy for her, she had learned to steal since childhood, honing her skills to perfection. Everything else went according to her plan, except for Cynthia surviving.
How could she possibly send Luke abroad? Whether Cynthia lived or not, Luke had to die, she thought. Shirley's heart was pounding. When she fired that shot, she hadn't thought about anything at all.
But now, as she stared at the pool of blood on the ground, her fingers began to tremble. She recalled the time she stabbed Dennis with all her strength. Throughout her life, that kind of thought had surfaced in her mind countless times.
In her mind, she repeatedly stabbed Dennis in the heart. When she really killed Dennis, she was terrified, scared, and shaking all over
Yet she admitted that deep inside, there was a sense of relief spreading through her body, like finally getting rid of at rampant tumor. Just like now.
She looked at Luke lying motionless on the ground and suddenly laughed, "Luke, you should have been careful; this isn't my first time killing someone." Luke had never imagined that she would dare to kill him she thought
But it wasn't her first time doing something like this. Killing one person is a death sentence, and so is killing two! Shirley laughed heartily as the blood from Luke's body flowed all the way to her feet.
But she quickly took a step back. She couldn't let herself get any of this dirty blood on her. Shirley took out the tissues and gloves she had prepared in advance. Wearing the gloves, she wiped the fingerprints off the gun. Then she carefully avoided Luke's bloodstains as she placed the gun in his hand and took the cellphone from his pocket. She thought, 'It had evidence of their communication, and it couldn't be discovered.
As Shirley got up, she glanced at Luke. His eyes were wide open pupils dilated from death, and his face was pale, but his expression looked like that of a vengeful spirit staring at her.
Shirley felt a chill run down her spine. "You forced me to do this. If you want to blame someone, blame Cynthia. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have to die."
After Shirley arranged everything, she opened the window. Then she took out a lighter, ignited it, and tossed it into the suitcase. Flames instantly erupted from the box of paper money, setting it ablaze.
A gust of wind blew in from outside, scattering the burning paper money everywhere. The couch, sheets, curtains-the- whole house was quickly engulfed in flames.
Once the paper money had burned for a while, Shirley finally ran out the door. As she rap, she screamed, "Help! Help! Someone's been murdered!"
Shirley's cries echoed through the night sky, prompting a few people in the neighborhood to peek out. There were originally very few residents in the neighborhood, and now only some empty-nesters remained. Moreover, the fire was growing larger, waking everyone up. Before long, someone came over. Shirley collapsed to the ground, looking panicked, and cried, "There's been a murder!"
An elderly man asked, "Young lady, what happened?"

She cried out, "Luke was going to kill me! He murdered someone, took me hostage, and he planned to set the place on fire and die with me. I barely managed to get away, and then he shot himself? You have to help me as witnesses!" A group of elderly people looked on in confusion. However, nearly all of them had been threatened and robbed by Luke. He was a nightmare for all the residents in the neighborhood.
Upon hearing that Luke had killed himself, none of them felt any sorrow; instead, they were relieved. They would no longer have to live in fear of him. A group of elderly people gathered around Shirley, saying in unison, "Great, great! We'll testify for you." The police arrived quickly, but by the time they got there, the fire had already spread significantly. Shirley watched the blazing flames, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.
"This fire would take away everything. Regardless of whether Luke's claims were true, or how many secrets he held over her. or whether there was any evidence of her murder, everything would disappear without a trace, she thought.
From then on, she would be innocent, and no one would be able to threaten her again. Shirley was soon taken to the police station, followed by several elderly people who accompanied her.
They took Shirley's statement, which echoed what she had just said: that Luke had gone mad, set the house on fire, and that Ms. Jones had barely escaped, only to hear a gunshot inside-the sound of Luke taking his own life.
It sounded as if they had all witnessed the events firsthand. The police found this a bit strange, considering that Luke had taken a hostage and had tried every possible way to escape.
However, instead of hiding, he returned to his own residence to commit suicide, which seemed illogical. Of course, they couldn't understand why he had shot Mrs. Yates at her wedding in the first place.
The police opened an investigation. Even though Luke was dead, there were still many unanswered questions that needed to be explored. However, after Shirley completed her statement, she was released.
In their eyes, she was merely a victim who had been taken hostage. Furthermore, after being brought to the police station, Shirley managed to contact Ruben
Ruben rushed to the police station in person to bail her out and successfully got her released. At that moment, the police had no suspicions about her.
Shirley wasn't afraid, 'Even if they had suspicions, they wouldn't find a single piece of evidence against her. Besides, she was now backed by the strong support of Whitney
After they got outside, Ruben instructed her to get into the car, saying he would personally drive her home. Once they were in the car, Ruben finally spoke up. "Ms. Jones truly has both courage and cunning." "Although there were some minor hiccups, Ms. Bennett still admires Ms. Jones," Shirley was both surprised and delighted upon hearing his words.
In fact, she knew that Whitney's arch-nemesis was Jonathan. As Jonathan's wife, Cynthia was naturally a thom in Whitney's
side as well.
So although Whitney didn't say it outright, she surely supported the idea of getting rid of Cynthia. Shirley spoke up,
for the Ms. Bennett's compliment, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned this time."
You
Thank
Ruben smiled. "There's plenty of time, Ms. Jones, no need to rush. Ms. Bennett knows you have a passion for jewelry design. so she specifically asked me to give you an invitation for the QUEEN International Jewelry Exhibition Consider it a small consolation for you." Saying that, Ruben took out a gold-embossed invitation and handed it to Shirley, Shirley was thrilled. Every Christmas, QUEEN hosts a magnificent jewelry exhibition

The exhibition hall is located in Betrico's palace. There are only ve hundred invitations, and they are reserved for QUEEN's top VIP clients.
At that time, the world's elite and wealthy will be invited. The guest list each year includes Starlight Cinema stars, Vloford tycoons, and members of the Emmeria royal family.
Since it's a global event, there are fewer than fifty invitations available within the country. Most of those invited are members of extremely wealthy families and top-tier celebrities.
In the past, Cynthia would have been completely unqualified to attend. But now that she is Mrs. Bennett, whether she would receive an invitation is uncertain.
Shirley was over the moon with excitement. No matter what, attending such a high-end jewelry expo could mean sudden success through networking.
Maybe she'd even encounter an actual royal prince! Shirley's fingers trembled in excitement as she tucked the invitation into her chest.
On the other hand, Lilian had already been rushed to the hospital. The situation was grim. Not only was she in danger, but the baby in her womb was also at great risk.
