The next morning, Lucas drove all the way to Cheryl’s hometown to bring her parents to Merchant City.
The two elders were excited to be picked up by the personal assistant of Joshua Lynch, CEO of Lynch
Group. ” Assistant Lucas, a few days ago, Sherry told us that she and President Lynch were growing
closer and closer…is that true?
“You must be busy, working as President Lynch’s assistant, too, aren’t you? Is Sherry the first person
President Lynch has ever sent his assistant to pick up her family before?
“What is she doing right now? Why isn’t she picking up her phone?
“Why did President Lynch send you to bring us to Merchant City? What’s going on?”
Cheryl’s parents kept asking Lucas questions left and right.
Lucas could not bear to deliver the bad news himself to the two elders who took so much pride in their
daughter.
He had no choice but to give them vague answers as he stepped on the gas.
Soon, the car arrived at the police station.
When Lucas asked them to get out of the car, the two of them suddenly realized something was wrong.
They could not help asking nervously as they held onto Lucas’ arm. “Why did you bring us to the police
station, Assistant Lucas? Where’s Sherry? What happened to Sherry?”
Lucas bit his lip and did not dare meet their gaze. “We… You’ll find out when we go inside.”
However, the more reluctant he was to tell the truth, the more impatient the elders got. “What’s going
on, Assistant Lucas? Where’s Sherry? Why are we here at the police station? We don’t want to go in!”
“Sir, Madam.” Just as the three of them were caught in their dispute, a cold, male voice rang out from
inside the police station.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin immediately turned around.
They recognized the man standing at the entrance of the police station, dressed in black, from
television.
This was Joshua Lynch, the CEO of Lynch Group!
Mr. and Mrs. Martin exchanged glances, and then both let go of Lucas.
Mr. Martin let out an exhale and walked over to Joshua after adjusting his clothes. “Nice to meet you,
Mr. Lynch; I a m Cheryl’s father!
“Your assistant came to us early in the morning, saying that he had to bring us to Merchant City to find
Cheryl immediately.
“However, he didn’t bring us to Lynch Group nor did he take us to Cheryl’s house and instead brought
us here to the police station.
“Did anything happen to Cheryl?”
He let out an exhale and stared at Joshua earnestly. ” Cheryl is just a young girl, and she has always
been timid, so she’d never commit any crime. Even if she had done so, someone must’ve framed her!
You have to trust her!”
Joshua lowered his head when faced with Mr. Martin’s gaze.
He, too, had a daughter of his own, and he could not bear to break this bad news to Mr. Martin.
However…
Joshua let out a sigh and lifted his head to glance at the two elders before him. “Come with me.
“You’ll find out what happened as soon as you see Cheryl.”
The two of them exchanged a glance before finally
following Joshua into the police station.
The four of them passed through a long hallway before finally arriving at the room at the end of it.
“Sherry!”
“My darling Sherry!”
The two elders burst into heart-wrenching sobs as soon as they caught sight of Cheryl’s cold, dead
body lying on the bed.
Joshua and Lucas stood next to them, silent.
The first thing Jim heard as soon as he parked the car and strode into the police station was the two
elders’ sobs.
