The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 2187

Chapter 2187 So It Really Was Simon?

Cindy's pupils contracted. "Simon, of all people?"

She blinked and recalled Simon's behavior in their previous interactions. Indeed, the dude didn't seem too reliable, but neither did he appear to be hostile. I can't believe he killed his own mother.

The information didn't add up for Cindy, no matter how she thought of it. "Could it have been some misunderstanding? Why would he go so far? Leah loved him, didn't she? And he only wanted Leah's money, so he shouldn't have a reason to kill her. It's easier for him to just get her money when she's alive, right?"

Aurora shook her head. "I'm not sure of the details. Who knows, maybe they were arguing about something, and then when Simon struck her, he accidentally killed her. Only the two of them knew what had happened. Simon is arrested now, and he has also confessed that it was his doing."

Cindy's mouth was wide open. She didn't know what to say. Some things were entirely unexpected, but if one thought about it, it wasn't that impossible either. If she had to decide whether it was reasonable for Simon to murder Leah, she would feel that it was. This is news! Good Lord!

A melancholic sigh escaped Cindy. "Alas! I truly didn't expect that. No matter what, there should be better ways to go about it."

Aurora shared the same sentiment. "I know, right? That's just too extreme."

Judging by how much Leah pampered Simon, even if Simon didn't manage to get cash out of Leah's hands, he just had to try a few more times before Leah succumbed. As an experienced person, if Aurora had to analyze this situation from a mother's point of view, she felt that if Simon wanted to, he would be able to get Leah's money in the end.

He really didn't have to go so far and even get himself into trouble after all that.

Cindy lost her appetite in an instant. Even though she wasn't too involved with this incident, she was still shocked when she heard about it.

Cindy left the last few bites of food untouched, then cleaned up the container. "The police should be releasing a statement soon. When that happens, all the discussions and guesses online should be gone."

Aurora nodded. "This incident didn't have too much of an impact, either. I talked to Ian for a bit, and he didn't seem to care."
