Chapter 452 Claiming The Body

“It was rumored that she was beaten to death, but the circumstances were complex. The prison authorities themselves couldn’t figure out the exact cause of death, so it could only be described as sudden death,” Cyrus reported.

In reality, after someone died in prison, a doctor would immediately conduct a physical examination on them to determine what exactly was wrong with their body,

After the examination, the doctor was shocked because the circumstances of Janessa’s death were incredibly bizarre. Although the doctor was told she was beaten by a prison officer, her injuries were merely superficial. They were nowhere near severe enough to be fatal.

Upon seeing that, the doctor assumed it was a sudden heart attack, followed by an abrupt death.

“Could such a thing really happen in this world?” Madelyn genuinely believed it to be impossible. Janessa is barely in her twenties. How could she possibly have died so suddenly? This is way too out of nowhere. It’s extraordinary!

For a moment, Madelyn couldn’t accept the reality of the situation. She was convinced that there was m to the matter than met the eye, that something was amiss! Yes, there must be something else going on!

Upon that thought, Madelyn promptly rose from her seat, put on her coat, and then set off toward Lockhart Group.

Half an hour later, Madelyn arrived at the company and hurriedly went upstairs to find Sebastian.

After Madelyn arrived on Sebastian’s floor, she was determined to meet him immediately. Malcolm quickly reminded, “Mrs. Lockhart, Mr. Lockhart is in a meeting right now.”

Ignoring him, Madelyn turned and was about to sprint toward the conference room.

“Mrs. Lockhart, please, wait a moment. His meeting is of utmost importance right now.” Malcolm followed

Madelyn to the conference room door, desperately trying to hold her back.

However, Madelyn was like a headstrong fawn, completely unstoppable.

Malcolm felt helpless. His only choice was to position himself in front of Madelyn. “Mrs. Lockhart, please wait a moment. Mr. Lockhart is truly occupied.”

“But I’m in a hurry right now!” Madelyn exclaimed, promptly pushing him away.

At that moment, Madelyn was a bundle of nerves.

She firmly refused to believe that Janessa could have just died like that. Therefore, she had to ensure the body was thoroughly examined before the prison released it.

However, a place like a prison wasn’t somewhere just anyone could casually stroll into, let alone when what one intended to do was perform an autopsy.

Thus, Madelyn had no choice but to seek out Sebastian, hoping he might have a solution.

At that time, the atmosphere inside the conference room was quite serious.

assessing each step of the process to determine its feasibility.

Just then, he heard a sudden commotion erupted at the door.

Despite the excellent soundproofing of the conference room, Madelyn’s loud voice still pierced through the walls. “Let me in! I need to see Sebastian.”

“Mrs. Lockhart, I’m begging you. Mr. Lockhart is in a mnecting right now. Could you please not put me in a difficult position?” Malcolm wore a troubled expression.

Upon hearing that, the people in the meeting room were compelled to halt their proceedings.

Everyone cast a puzzled gaze toward Sebastian.

After all, just hearing her voice, it was clear to them that the woman outside must be Sebastian’s wife. In such a large company, she was the only one who dared to raise her voice so openly.

Naturally, Sebastian heard it too. She’s usually pretty sensible and will wait patiently at my office. I doubt she’d be shouting if this weren’t an emergency.

With that thought, Sebastian stood up. He gave a slight nod to everyone, muttered an apology, and then exited the room.

After leaving the conference room, Sebastian didn’t express any blame. Instead, he looked at Madelyn with deep concern. “What’s wrong?”

“Sebastian, let’s talk somewhere else.” No sooner had Madelyn finished her sentence than she hastily ushered Sebastian into the office.

“What on earth happened?” Sebastian was genuinely puzzled.

Then, Madelyn said, “Sebastian, Janessa has passed away.”

Upon hearing that, Sebastian was slightly taken aback and surprised. To think something like this would happen so soon after Janessa entered prison. Then again, prison isn’t a nice place. It’s surprising, but not unheard of.

Then, Sebastian asked nonchalantly, “How did she die?”

“Sudden death,” Madelyn said.

Sebastian was taken aback once again. If it were possible to create an emoji in real life, there would definitely be three question marks floating above his head.

Madelyn knew that after hearing the news, Sebastian would surely be baffled. After all, she herself had been utterly bewildered when she first received the report.

Thus, Madelyn hurriedly explained, “Sebastian, I also felt that there was something fishy about this matter. That’s why I specifically came to find you. The prison had already conducted an examination, but apart from some superficial injuries, they didn’t detect any signs of sudden death on Janessa’s body. In other words, Janessa had a sudden cardiac arrest, and then she passed away. Sebastian, do you think such sudden events could really happen in this world?”

After Madelyn finished speaking, she looked at Sebastian with a questioning gaze, hoping he could provide
