It was understandable that she thought that way, but she overestimated them. Most people wouldn't try to commit any crimes easily, let alone murder.
The call went on until Cindy came home. Aurora wasn't around, and she had no appetite, so she lay down on the couch and stared at the ceiling. She went through a lot of possibilities. Perhaps Leah had a conflict with someone and got into a fight during negotiations.
Or perhaps someone killed her for money. She didn't have much, but Bryce did give her some money. Some people might think none of it, but that sum was generous for most people. Leah was alone and crippled. She was easy prey, so to speak. It's possible someone killed her for money, Cindy thought.
She lay on the couch until Aurora called. She had just heard of the news and was on her way back. The cops called her, and she was shocked when she was told that Leah was murdered. She said, "I couldn't believe it. They could've just taken the money, but murder's too much."
For some reason, Cindy guessed, "Leah was a sucker for money. She probably refused to let go, so the killer did what they had to do."
Aurora smacked her lips. "She should've just given them the money. Nothing's more important than her life. If it were me, I'd give them all the money they wanted."
Most people would think so, but when put in that kind of situation, everyone might react differently. Cindy commented no more on the topic, and Aurora hung up as well. She waited for a moment, and Aurora came back. When she got the news, she had just finished her work and was wondering if she should go for lunch with the organizers, but the news made her lose her appetite, and she came back home.
Cindy was lying on the couch, then she turned around, a small smile tugging on her lips. "Yeah, I lost my appetite. Didn't even make lunch."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
