Chapter 486
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The water also washed away the final vestiges of hope in Dianaâs heart.
She remembered on that rainy day, she had felt deeply uneasy. Now, she knew it wasnât because something had happened to her parents or Oliver, but rather hereâ¦
It had been her two precious babies whom she had overlooked.
She couldnât forgive herself.
She couldnât let this matter go, either.
Stumbling along with the empty urn in her arms and blood-stained fingerprints on her face, she went to the cemeteryâs office.
She didnât know when her shoes had fallen off.
Regardless, they were gone by the time she arrived at the monitoring room.
However, she didnât feel any pain. She didnât cry or make a fuss, and simply requested calmly, âI want to see the surveillance footage.â
Since she had been the one to choose this cemetery and such a terrible thing had happened, she needed to find out who was behind it.
Otherwise, she didnât know how to face her babies anymore.
Even silently reciting their names in her heart now felt like a great sin.
She had toâ¦
She had to do something for them right away! Immediately!
That would be the only way to alleviate the guilt and the feeling of her heart being ripped out of her chest.
However, the people in the monitoring room were hesitant.
âWeâre sorry, Miss Winnington.â
They clearly wanted to help her with everything they could, since such an awful thing had happened. It was the graves of two unborn babies, after all. Whoever had dug them up must be insane and outrageous!
Just who would have such a grudge that they would target two babies who had just been buried?
Yet, no matter how angry everyone in the room was, there was nothing they could do.
They looked at Diana apologetically and said, âThereâs really nothing we can do. The surveillance cameras broke down from the heavy rain a few days ago.â
Dianaâs expression slowly turned from indifference to ice. She knew all along that this incident wasnât a coincidence, given that only Aster and Starâs grave had been dug up. It was only at this moment that Diana realized she had underestimated just how wicked human nature could be.
The gravedigger had intentionally done this! They had targeted her babies! And⦠They had targeted her as well.
Was it Kayla? Did that woman have the guts to do such a thing? If not her, who else?
There were only a few people who knew about the babiesâ existence.
Regardless of who it was, Diana needed evidence.
Diana thought for a moment, and said in an unusually calm voice, âWere all the cameras broken?â
âYes. Theyâve been malfunctioning since the rain a few days ago. Weâre still repairing them, but since there are a lot of them, itâs taking a while.â
âWhat about surveillance footage from before the rain?â
âUmâ¦â the person in the monitoring room was hesitant. âThey were all working fine.â
They clearly thought that the problems started due to the strong wind and thunderstorms on the rainy day, but Diana wasnât of the same mind.
However, she didnât want to make things difficult for the people in this room.
They were only workers, and couldnât do much. If she wanted to blame someone, it would be herself for not being cautious enough and not taking Julianâs advice to bury them in the Fulcher family cemetery.
With that thought in mind, she walked out of the monitoring room. Her expression darkened, and there was no hint of her usual gentleness. Only a chilling, murderous glint remained.
She contacted Oliver.
Getting straight to the point when the man answered, she said, âHelp me.â
This was the first time she had ever asked Oliver for help.
