A Cue for Love novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577 One Of A Kind

Natalie heaved a long sigh and told Yandel, “The Nichols family might view Melissa as a disgrace, but her death isn’t the end. I must investigate who’s the mastermind and how did the person make Melissa go amok!”

“Boss, you…”

“I’ll conduct an autopsy before they bury her body,” she said solemnly. “I suspect that she has consumed some illegal drugs, and only a post-mortem can give me the answer.”

“But… Thomas didn’t agree to that.”

“The dead can’t talk. Anyway, all evidences will be destroyed once the body is cremated.” Natalie paused for a bit before continuing, “I can only do that discreetly before the cremation using my position as the coroner adviser to the Major Crimes Unit.”

Nodding, Yandel listened attentively to Natalie’s plan.

Toward the end of their discussion, Natalie recalled something important and asked Yandel, “When is Melissa’s funeral?”

“According to the customs in Dellmoor, the dead will either be buried on the third, fifth, or the seventh day. Usually, the funeral for someone who passed on at a young age will be held on the seventh day after his death. I think Melissa’s will be four days from now.” Yandel was completely baffled. “Boss, you’re asking this because…”

“I’ll attend Melissa’s funeral.”

“Are you serious?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t go as Natalie Nichols, and neither will I cause a scene there. I just purely want to pay her my last respect,” she explained. “Though she had done many wrong things, she’s still my stepsister. Attending her memorial service is a way for me to bid her my final farewell. That’s the least I can do.”

“Noted, I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”

“Thanks.”

Meanwhile, Christopher slowly regained consciousness.

What greeted him was a scruffy-looking Joshua, whose eyes were swollen like pandas.
