A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 173

“No! I did commit intentional assault, but the person didn’t die!” said Sierra plainly, “The person is still in the first room on the left on the second floor. Go take a look! Ashley, I made this for your dad, he would definitely like it!”

Everyone turned their gaze on the plate and it had a slab of meat on it. It was a short piece of meat and it shrunk from the deep-frying. Nobody could tell what meat it was!

The police quickly went up to the second floor and found Payne lying on the bed in the room. His white pants were covered with blood and there was even more blood between his legs. There was a pair of scissors with blood on it on the floor. Sierra also went upstairs and she noticed that everyone was looking at her with a shock and suspicious expression. She said nonchalantly, “Yes! I cut it off and made it into two dishes. Two unique dishes! Hahaha…”

…

Sherry suddenly received a call from Leon. She was with the Sutton family and they were about to have dinner together when she suddenly got the call.

“Sherry, come to the Jones family’s house right now!” said Leon in an unusually low voice.

“The Jones family?” Sherry was taken aback. “Leon, I…”

She wanted to tell him that she wasn’t going to go, but Leon quickly interrupted her, “Sherry, your mother died! Ashley said that you should come over right now no matter what.”

Sherry felt a sudden buzz in her head, and she was in shock. She wasn’t listening to what Leon said after that.

“What happened?” William took the phone from Sherry and asked worriedly, “Leon, I’m William. What happened?”

“Sierra is dead!” repeated Leon, “You guys can decide if Sherry should come to see her mother for one last time. Ashley told me to let Sherry know and that’s all I can say. It’s up to you guys whether you guys decide to come or not!”

After half an hour.

William brought Sherry to the Jones family.

The police were also at the scene. The servants and bodyguards all had stern and emotionless expressions on their faces!

Leon’s words kept repeating in Sherry’s mind, “Your mother died… Your mother died…”

She walked into the living room and saw two bodies on two stretchers on the floor. Both bodies had a white cloth on their face.

Ashley was curled up into a ball on the sofa. Leon was comforting her as she sobbed quietly. She was pushing away Leon’s hand and rejecting his touches.

The butler then said, “Miss Jones, Miss Murray and Mr. Rowland are here!”

Ashley stopped crying. She raised her head and looked at Sherry, her face was tear-streaked. She stood up and staggered as she ran towards Sherry, “Sherry, I’m sorry…”

Sherry was still in shock. She felt a shiver run up her spine.

“Sherry, Sierra was shot to death by my father. I couldn’t protect her… She put up with my father’s abuse throughout the years. Everything is our fault, the Jones family owe you a big apology…”

Sherry wasn’t in the mood to listen to Ashley. She tried to stay calm and asked quietly, “Which one is her?”

William already heard the story from Leon. Sierra drugged Payne and cut off his dick when he was unconscious. She then cooked it into two dishes.

After Payne regained consciousness, he found out what happened to him and shot Sierra when the police weren’t paying attention. He then committed suicide with the same gun.

Ashley took off one of the white cloths and revealed Sierra’s face. Her face looked calm and serene as if she was glad that she finally freed of her misery.

Sherry felt tears welling up in her eyes, but her tears wouldn’t fall. She just stared at her mother quietly.

She stared at this person who gave birth to her. At this moment, she came to a sudden realization that Sierra might have led a sad life. Thinking back, Sierra seldom smiled. Maybe she never loved Clark! That was probably why she remarried and left her and her brother without care. Or maybe she was just being selfish!

But all the hatred should disappear together with the end of her mother’s life! Sherry took a deep breath and held back her tears. She looked once more at her mother’s face and said bitterly, “William, let’s go!”

“Sherry?” asked Ashley softly, “Where should we bury Sierra?”

Sherry shook her head and peered at Sierra with a complicated look in her eyes, “I don’t know. She was with the Jones family, so I don’t have the right to decide!”

Sherry straightened her back and clenched her fist tightly. She then walked out of the place.

William followed behind her worriedly.

As if she had made up her mind, she didn’t even look back once. She muttered under her breath, “Mom, rest in peace!”

Her tears came falling down like rain the moment she left the living room. She was sobbing without making any sound. William hugged her silently. He carried her and Sherry buried her face in his chest.

William sighed.

They drove away from the Jones family’s house. William then parked the car by the roadside.

Sherry sat down quietly at the passenger’s seat. Her tears kept tumbling and falling, but she was still sobbing mutely.

“Sherry…” William tried to reach out his hand and dry her tears.

Sherry raised her head abruptly. Her jet-black hair stuck onto her face and her eyes were already swollen. She tried to stop herself from crying but to no avail. She then gazed helplessly at William and asked in a small voice, “William, I hated her. But why do I feel so sad about her death?”

William cringed and was surprised at the question. He reached out his hand, pulled her towards himself and held her tightly in his arms. He tapped her back lightly and said, “Sherry, it’s because she was your mother. She brought you into this world! It’s okay to be sad!”

Sherry bit her lips and couldn’t hold it back anymore. She wailed loudly like a child.

In the study room at the Sutton family.
