Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1731
Chapter 1731: 420: Final Letter! Chapter 1731: 420: Final Letter! Peter Stone collapsed on the spot.
He didn't even have time to react, and his face turned deathly pale.
Jumped, jumped off the building?
Christina Armstrong had actually jumped off the building!
Beatrice Black and Edward Armstrong were also shocked and lost their color.
The two stood there dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, filled with panic.
Everything had happened too quickly.
No one had expected that Christina Armstrong would jump off the building.
What to do?
What to do now?
Beatrice was in complete disarray.
Christina was gone.
Did that mean Peter Stone wouldn't pay the remaining 1 million dollars?
Not only the 1 million, but the 2 million dollars that Peter had given earlier could also likely be taken back.
No.
That couldn't happen.
That money was hers.
Beatrice thought she had controlled Christina well.
But who would have thought.
Things had fallen out of her control.
Nearby, the young makeup artist, who had never experienced such events,
had just been standing beside Christina, and had spoken a few words to her.
She had felt sympathy for the bride.
But now.
Not even half an hour had passed.
And Christina was already…
“Ah!”
The makeup artist screamed in fright, covering her mouth as tears welled up instantly, “Ah!”
And this day would forever be a nightmare for the photographer!
At that moment, voices came from below, “Oh my God!”
“Someone jumped off the building!”
“Someone come quickly!”
Soon, the patrolling security guards rushed over and dialed the police and emergency services.
Beatrice Black and Edward Armstrong ran downstairs as fast as they could.
They still harbored a last bit of hope.
As long as Christina wasn't dead, even if she was barely breathing, even if she turned into a vegetative state, she had to marry Peter Stone; they had already held the wedding, Christina was already Peter's wife.
Peter could not break the contract unilaterally.
Unfortunately.
They didn't see the result they wanted.
At the scene.
Blood was everywhere.
Reality is not a romantic drama.
Christina's death was extremely gruesome; she was nearly decapitated, with her brain matter mixing with the blood, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.
Her red wedding dress seemed to mock the ridiculousness of it all.
The onlookers were also terribly frightened, and conversations buzzed around.
“How pitiful, she's still in her wedding dress, why would she think of jumping off?”
“Was she forced by her family?”
“They say those who jump in red harbor the most resentment, her family is in for trouble now.”
“I know that couple, they live on the 36th floor, the woman was just scammed out of 800,000 recently! Now their daughter has had this accident, how can her parents go on…”
“Tch, jumping in a wedding dress, maybe it was really her family who caused her death!”
“Those parents are inhuman! How could they press their own daughter like this?”
Hearing the crowd's discussions, Beatrice Black, heart angry and in tears, cried out, “My daughter! My poor daughter, it's all mom's fault for not protecting you, making you accidentally fall from the building, mom doesn't want to live anymore, my poor daughter…”
Edward Armstrong looked at his daughter's shattered body, not daring to take a step closer.
He was frightened.
Panicked.
Soon, the police and emergency services arrived.
The emergency team declared Christina Armstrong dead on arrival, and the police took Edward Armstrong, Beatrice Black, the makeup artist upstairs, the photographer, and the groom, Peter Stone, away.
But the moment Peter Stone, dressed in the groom's festive attire, appeared in front of everyone,
Not only did the onlookers freeze.
Even the experienced police officer was taken aback.
No one had expected.
The groom to be an elderly man, well past his prime.
The investigating officer immediately grew more alert, feeling that the case was unusual, suspecting that the deceased might have been forced to jump.
If that was indeed the case.
It would mean indirectly causing the death of the victim.
Of course, Beatrice Black refused to get into the police car, crying and saying, “Police Officer, I've lost my beloved daughter, I'm already pitiful enough, how could you possibly take me away! I won't go!”
In contrast, Edward Armstrong, looking as if he had lost his soul, followed the police into the car.
His daughter was dead.
The 200,000 dollars Peter had given would also be taken back.
Their family was once again left with nothing.
Peter Stone also got into the police car.
His forehead was covered with layer upon layer of cold sweat.
He had thought he would successfully return home with his bride.
But he had not expected things to turn out this way.
Now, all he wanted was to take off the glaringly festive attire he was wearing.
