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."

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...
