Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Star-Crossed Lovers, Victims of Fate

Isn’t this Roxanne Sutton who previously made a high-profile appearance at the Blanchett and Dalton families’ engagement party?

Was it really Roxanne Sutton who just ran onto Sidney Dalton’s car?

For a moment, even the Director of the Security Bureau vaguely sensed something.

But in the end, he could only sigh helplessly, "Indeed, a pair of star-crossed lovers!"

After, the Director of the Security Bureau ordered his subordinates to bring the two bodies back to the bureau.

"..."

Selena Kensington remained silent for a few seconds after hearing Sterling Norwood’s words.

"What then? How is this matter going to be handled?"

This matter, after all, caused quite a stir in The Empire, and coupled with Sidney Dalton’s daring escape on the day of the trial, even though the outcome was dramatic, the Security Bureau must give the public an explanation.

"The Security Bureau will issue a statement later. Their bodies are now back at the bureau, and the bureau is preparing for specialized forensic doctors to examine them."

Sterling Norwood spoke again, explaining the follow-up to her.

Selena Kensington furrowed her brow slightly "Examination? What kind of examination?"

Sterling Norwood paused, then looked steadily at Selena Kensington, "Did you just now notice anything amiss with Sidney Dalton?"

Hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena Kensington carefully recalled Sidney Dalton in the live broadcast footage just now.

Indeed, from the beginning, Sidney Dalton had been keeping his head down.

Doing so seemed to conceal the expression on his face.

And until the car accident, Sidney Dalton acted as if possessed, suddenly exerting himself forcibly.

Moreover, if Sidney Dalton were sober, with his mind, no matter how foolish, no matter how obscured, he wouldn’t have brazenly escaped on the day of the public trial.

If Sidney Dalton had obediently accepted the trial’s verdict, there might have been some lenience considering his cooperative attitude.

Yet now, he’s only fueling the fire.

Sidney Dalton shouldn’t be foolish to this degree.

"If forensic doctors find nothing, then there’s only one speculation left: Sidney Dalton was under the control of The Godsbane Organization. They never intended to keep Sidney Dalton, a discarded pawn, alive."

Sterling Norwood continued speaking.

If someone covertly administered drugs to Sidney Dalton similar to those stimulating the nerves, it would be detected.

But if forensic doctors find nothing, then there’s only one possibility.

Someone from The Godsbane Organization, possessing the abilities of the Mayfield family, made a move.

"Hmm."

Selena Kensington didn’t know how to respond to Sterling Norwood and could only reply in a low voice.

Sterling Norwood sensed her lack of enthusiasm and lowered his head, softly comforting her, "I’ve also sent Lark Mayfield over there. If they dare to take the risk of exposure to act against Sidney Dalton, then we can use this to pull them out."

Selena Kensington’s mind wasn’t on this matter; she was still pondering the true purpose of The Godsbane Organization.

Because often, they seemed to be contradicting themselves.

Hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena Kensington forced herself to focus and responded to him with "Okay."

"But, Lark Mayfield agreed this time?"

Hearing that Lark Mayfield went to the Security Bureau, Selena Kensington showed some interest.

Sterling Norwood smiled and touched her hair, "She’s quite interested in the person possessing the abilities of the Mayfield family. I just mentioned it briefly, and she eagerly rushed over."

Upon hearing this, Selena Kensington glanced at him with a sweet smile.

The news of Sidney Dalton’s public escape on the day of the trial exploded online within an hour.

Back then, when forced to end the live broadcast, the viewers had to turn to the internet for discussions one after another.

[I really want to know if they ever caught Sidney Dalton in the end!]

[Isn’t it audacious to escape on the day of the public trial? Does he disregard the Security Bureau?]

[I really find Sidney Dalton’s escape baffling...]

[I’m confused too, wouldn’t normal people act like this unless they’re courting death?]

[And I heard he dragged a bystander along, oh my gosh...]

[I was at the scene, and I kept feeling that pulled-in bystander looked a bit like Roxanne Sutton.]

[??? Damn? Really?]

As netizens discussed, they also analyzed the scene from back then.

They discovered the suddenly appearing vehicle and noticed Roxanne Sutton’s presence.

Since a netizen mentioned that the implicated bystander looked a bit like Roxanne Sutton, many others posted their photos from the scene or screenshots from the live broadcast.

With such comparison, along with Roxanne Sutton’s former fans recognizing her, netizens confirmed it was indeed Roxanne Sutton.

For a moment, there was some sighing.

That evening, the Security Bureau released a public announcement about this matter.

They explicitly stated which ordinances Sidney Dalton violated in The Empire and later revealed the outcome of Sidney Dalton and the innocent Roxanne Sutton.

After the announcement document, the Security Bureau posted videos taken while pursuing Sidney Dalton.

In the video, Sidney Dalton, originally driving at high speed, suddenly seemed bewitched, heading straight for the unstable guardrail, then plunged off the overpass into the green space below.

This scene clearly depicted Sidney Dalton’s suicidal behavior, leaving the public with no more to say.

Regarding the suddenly appearing black vehicle, the Security Bureau stated they would conduct a thorough investigation of it.

After the announcement document was released, the public was even more astir.

Because they simply couldn’t comprehend Sidney Dalton’s actions.

Moreover, armed with a plethora of indignant curses, the public faced the abrupt death of the individual, unable to accept such an unexpected conclusion.

[I don’t understand, was his intent in fleeing fueled by a desire to die?!]

[I truly don’t get the mindset of those in high positions, self-destructive?]

[This is too dramatic, right? Just like that, gone?]

[The co-driver was really Roxanne Sutton... oh my god!...] 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

[Never thought Roxanne Sutton’s ending would be like this, sigh at fate’s irony.]

The public could never foresee Roxanne Sutton suddenly appearing, with her ending turning out to be the same as Sidney Dalton.

Because the previous events had passed for a while, the public gradually forgot about Roxanne Sutton.

Adding to that, the Dalton and Blanchett families’ engagement party, owing to Catherine Blanchett’s scandal, was suppressed by the Blanchett family.

Thus, the events of that engagement party circulated only among the upper class, with common folks being even less likely to know those details.
