My Ex-Wife and Kids Came In Like A Wrecking Ball novel Chapter 2060

Chapter 2060 Worse Than Death

Byron took Rosalie to the entrance of the cemetery, so that she did not have to see the process of them digging up her mother's grave.

"Honey, don’t worry. These officers are very professional. They just need some bones for the investigation. When they're done investigating, they'll place them back like how they were before. They won’t go missing!” Byron comforted her.

Rosalie was not superstitious, but she had something in her mind.

"Hubby, can we move my mother’s grave after the investigation? Although I don’t think my dad deserves to be buried with my mom, my mom loved my dad all her life. That’s why she had no regrets. In fact, if she had been willing to give up on him, her life might have turned out differently!"

Byron nodded. Moving the grave was fine. This cemetery was small, and it was far from the manor. It might be inconvenient for Rosalie to visit her.

After nearly three hours, Detective Carter walked over with a group of police officers.

They nodded at Byron and Rosalie. One of the officers said, " We're certain that Mrs. Lawrence's mother was poisoned before she died. Of course, we need to carry out tests to find out the component of the poison. It won't take long. Maybe a day or two!"

Detective Carter's forehead puckered. "Boys, work overtime and do the test within a day!"

The police officers nodded since Detective Carter had ordered them.

Detective Carter watched the police officers leave. Then, he followed Byron and Rosalie back to the car.

He concluded once they were in the car. "If I’m right, it’s quicksilver poisoning!"

Quicksilver, commonly known as mercury, was the only liquid metal at normal temperature and pressure. Mercury could evaporate at room temperature. Mercury vapor and mercury compounds could be highly toxic.

Mercury could be found in thermometers. If one broke it accidentally, one had to be very careful of the toxins that come with the volatilization of mercury.

Rosalie froze upon hearing that.

She was a doctor. Moreover, she had dealt with this kind of mercury poisoning. Most of it started with a small amount of contamination, then the chronic suffering began.

Byron hugged his wife and tried to appease her.

The detective remained silent and said firmly. "Please rest assured. I’ll help you find the evidence to arrest the murderer. I promise!"

When they returned to the manor, Rosalie could no longer remain calm. She wanted to dash out and poison Violet so that she would experience the same pain her mother suffered.

Luther returned with news about Violet. One of Luke's men had attracted Violet's attention with the high purchase price. They had arranged a date to negotiate the price.

To ensure everything would go well, Byron ordered Luther to arrange for more men to stand guard at all the exits of Coast City, ensuring Violet could not flee.

In the evening, the police called and confirmed it was mercury poisoning and chronic accumulation. The poisoning period was approximately three months.

The police were preparing an arrest warrant to arrest and interrogate the suspect.
