Chapter 726: Chapter 726: Leaving Peacefully

So they also didn’t know that Roxanne Sutton had already appeared at that time.

Now seeing Roxanne Sutton deliberately appear on the day of Sidney Dalton’s public trial, the crowd can only sigh, love-crazed souls, fate’s trickery.

A day later, Selena Kensington received the autopsy report from the security bureau.

No mental drugs were found in Sidney Dalton’s body.

So all of this was Sidney Dalton’s own doing.

The security bureau couldn’t find any leads, so they could only focus their attention on the black car that suddenly appeared.

There is surveillance in front of the security bureau.

But the place where the car was parked was a surveillance blind spot.

Because the location where the car was parked could be captured by the junction’s surveillance, the security bureau personnel didn’t pay attention to the area before.

However, in the past two days, the junction’s surveillance broke down and has not been repaired yet.

So the security bureau personnel have no clue how the car appeared there.

But they could still roughly tell from the surveillance footage that the original occupant drove the car away and then left the scene, heading down another road.

Based on the rough body shape, the security bureau guessed it was a woman under thirty.

As for what the person looked like, the security bureau was unclear.

Because even when that person appeared in the camera, she always kept her head down and covered herself tightly.

It seemed like there was something on her face she couldn’t show.

Additionally, she appeared for a very short time, almost leaving immediately after driving the car out.

The security personnel had to search for someone based on these pitiful clues.

Meanwhile, although people were puzzled by Sidney Dalton’s hasty ending, the evidence provided by the security bureau was convincing enough. Coupled with the bureau’s established prestige among the crowd, people accepted the situation after a few days.

They rarely discussed the matter afterward.

Though Sidney Dalton’s sins were severe, the people of The Empire still respected the deceased.

At the very least, they saw no need to be overly aggressive towards a dead person.

Selena Kensington also gradually accepted Sidney Dalton and Roxanne Sutton’s ending.

She was now a bit worried about Annelise Mayfield’s situation.

After all, Annelise truly considered Roxanne Sutton as family.

She could run alone to Aethelgard because of Roxanne’s grievances, and even after learning about Roxanne’s true nature, she never spoke ill of her nor distanced herself.

She was helping Roxanne Sutton in her own way, even trying to correct her.

She had accepted Roxanne Sutton from the bottom of her heart.

So the hardest hit from this event was Annelise Mayfield.

Selena Kensington didn’t know how to speak to Annelise Mayfield.

Although she didn’t plan to give Roxanne Sutton a good solution, she didn’t expect to lose her life.

Selena Kensington sighed slightly and ultimately decided to call Annelise Mayfield.

Annelise Mayfield quickly answered Selena Kensington’s call.

"Hello, Sister Kensington?"

Annelise Mayfield spoke first.

Selena Kensington could hear a slight sobbing tone in Annelise’s voice.

Selena paused, her tone softened a lot, "Mm, how are you?"

Annelise remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "Sister Kensington, don’t worry, I’m in good shape."

"Long before, Roxanne told me about this matter. She told me she wouldn’t have a good ending. At the time, I vaguely sensed something, so I took a long vacation."

"During that time, Roxanne treated me very well. She seemed to know she was leaving, and she passed on all her entertainment industry experience to me. Although I was somewhat unwilling to face Roxanne’s predicted ending, I listened attentively to her teachings."

"But time passed too quickly. On the day of the public trial, when I saw her wearing new clothes, leaving with a calm look, I already anticipated her ending."

"It’s just..."

Annelise’s tone gradually became a bit choked.

"It’s just that I didn’t anticipate it would be so soon, so quickly..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Selena Kensington already understood.

She simply didn’t anticipate Roxanne Sutton leaving so quickly, so hastily.

Selena Kensington sighed slightly, "In her last few days, she passed all her experience on to you, showing that she had great expectations for you. So don’t disappoint her expectations, keep moving forward well."

Selena Kensington didn’t comment on Roxanne’s actions during that period.

Because the mistakes she committed in the past couldn’t be made up by those actions during that time.

Those actions by Roxanne Sutton during that time might have been a remedy after awakening, or perhaps a kind-hearted return for Annelise.

But no matter what, Roxanne Sutton still had to taste the bitter fruit sown by herself. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

And this outcome was her life.

"Mm... I know."

Annelise said softly, her voice slightly choked but better than it was when Selena first called.

"Sister Kensington, rest assured, I’ll adjust my condition soon."

When Annelise said this, her tone appeared slightly lighthearted.

Sister Kensington was right; since Roxanne passed on so much knowledge to her, she couldn’t let it go to waste. She would walk the Stardust path, carrying Roxanne’s experience and initial dreams!

Annelise cheered herself silently in her heart.

Selena Kensington smiled, "It’s good you understand. Whenever you’re ready, then return. Don’t worry."

Annelise blushed a little, saying, "How could I let Hugh wait, he already approved me for a long vacation."

Annelise hadn’t brought any profit to Stardust yet. Instead, Stardust had invested considerable resources to train her.

And this time, Annelise directly took a long vacation, which would definitely delay many courses and arrangements, yet Hugh continued to approve without any argument.

Although Hugh didn’t have any complaints or rushed Annelise to return.

Annelise still felt a bit embarrassed deep inside, so she planned to adjust her condition quickly and return to Stardust, bringing profits to Stardust soon.

That would be a way to repay Stardust for its resources.

Selena Kensington smiled, not contradicting Annelise’s statement.

Annelise was indeed a kind and wholesome young girl.

It could be seen from her constant unchanged treatment towards Roxanne Sutton.

And she understood that the rewards earned from others’ efforts also needed to be equivalent.
