The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 275

Chapter275

Sadly, the door to our home was locked. They couldn't stay.

Even the neighbors had moved. Laura, my dad, and Remy had to leave.

Back in their own place, Laura put tissues in her nose and sent me a voice message.

"You irritating girl! I brought you up, and now you're avoiding me?

"Don't you forget! You owe everything to me! I found a perfect husband for you. Otherwise, would you have lived so comfortably?"

Before Laura could finish speaking, the doorbell rang. She wasn't done yelling yet and asked Remy to get the door. When the door opened, Remy froze.

A policeman was standing outside.

Thinking it was about his gambling debt, Remy panicked and hid behind Laura. Dumbstruck for two seconds, Laura stood before Remy protectively.

Warily, she asked, “Hello, officer. What's up?" "Are you Grace Parrish's family?"

Upon hearing my name, Laura gave a sigh of relief. "Yes. Did that girl make trouble? It's useless to talk to me about her. We've cut ties with her..." A fit of uncontrollable pain ran through my body when I saw Laura's face.

The police officer was displeased, too. He interrupted Laura. "Grace's husband killed her. Before she died, she called you, but you didn't answer. The best timing to save her was lost.

"Then, we found pieces of a human body. We called you so you could claim the body. But you never answered the phone."

"What? She's dead?" Laura repeated.

I observed her face, which betrayed not a tinge of sadness. Earlier, I had fainted at work.

When Laura knew it, she came to the hospital and told me off.

"Grace, what are you good for? You couldn't even do this? And you make little money every month! We brought you up for nothing!"

Laura never cared about me.

If she was sad, it was only because she couldn't get money from me anymore now that I was dead.

Even so, over and again, I had hoped she could love, but it never happened.

Laura fell deep in thought. Knowing I was murdered, Remy came out from behind her.

"Grace is dead? Mom, I've always wanted her laptop. It's mine now." He was thinking about taking my things already.

They had no idea how hard I had worked. This laptop was the only expensive thing I had bought for myself. "Is she really dead? Where's the body?"

Maybe I had been a wondering ghost for too long.

Somehow, I saw Laura shiver a little. Once again, I was hoping she cared about me.

"Mom, at this moment, are you sad for me at all?"

After a brief hesitation, the policeman took out the photo of my half corpse and handed it to Laura. She gave it one glance and began gagging, her hand propped against the wall.

“Her husband dismembered the body and flushed it down the drain.

"But don't worry. We'll find the rest of her body...” However, Laura interrupted him, "No need."

With that, she slammed the door shut. Seemingly exhausted, she leaned against the wall, her hand covering her mouth.

She looked back, hoping Remy could come and support her, only to find he was showing off to his friend on the phone. "Come to my home tomorrow. My sister's new laptop is mine now!"

Remy didn't pay attention to Laura, just like she had never paid attention to me.

That night, as usual, they had a big dinner and talked and laughed at the table. Only Laura kept looking at the doll on the couch.

It had been my favorite.

Then, Remy said he liked it. So, Laura took it from me and gave it to Remy.
