Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 435

At that very moment, she wanted a brother as stupid as Sterling. At least he would protect his sister no matter what the circumstances were.

“I know I killed someone, Will.” Leah wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, her voice still as gentle as ever as she continued, “... Goodbye, my dear brother.”

William wanted to say something else but she did not want to listen anymore, nor was she in the mood. She ended the phone and removed the sim card before breaking it into half and threw it on the floor.

With a flower bouquet in hand, she stared straight at the entrance of the hall as thoughts ran through her mind. Still, she felt as if her mind was blank as nothing seemed to make sense anymore.

Almost half an hour later, a dozen police officers barged into the hall.

Leah had anticipated this from the beginning, and so she was not surprised at all. She merely stared at them, keeping her gaze on the back of the group waiting for Charles to come out.

The police officers had not expected her to be wearing a wedding dress waiting at what seemed to be a wedding hall. They were stunned for a moment before they quickly moved to surround her.

“Where’s Charles?” Leah ignored the men who were pointing their guns at her and continued staring straight at the entrance.

It was empty with no one in sight.

How could this be…

Was Charles not even willing to see her one last time before she was sent to prison?

Even if he did not want to see her, he would at least want to know who was the one intending to harm Sophia, would he not?

Nobody answered her question while the police captain gave his subordinates a signaling look. Several police officers immediately stepped forward to subdue her.

“Don’t move!” Leah gave a wry smile as she fished out a thumb-sized blade from her sash and placed it on her throat.

She did not go easy on herself, pressing the blade to her skin so hard that it cut through her skin. Bright red blood instantly dripped down the white wedding gown, dyeing it blood-red. The bright red contrasted against the white dress, and despite how ghastly a sight it was, there was a strange sense of beauty.

The captain had no choice but to order his men to stop. “Don’t move!”

Then, he turned back to Leah. “I advise you to put down the blade and surrender. There are two lives on your hands now, you can’t run away from this!”

Run away?

Leah had never thought of running away. She did not want to live her life hiding from people, suffering under the disgusted looks and hash comments!

Aside from that, knowing Charles, she knew that she was better off dead than being in prison. Instead of being tormented in prison, she would much rather end her life just like this!

She had wanted Charles to finish the wedding ceremony with her before she killed herself before him so he would never forget her.

However, she did not think that he would not even want to see her one last time!

“Let me ask you, did Charles tell all of you that I was here?” Although Leah was smiling at the police captain, tears were brimming the edge of her eyes.

As soon as the police captain responded with a nod, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She did not understand what was so wrong with what she was doing. She was just trying to pursue Charles because she had feelings for him, what was wrong with that?

Heh, come to think about it, her life had been a complete failure. She prayed that she would never see Charles again in another life. She would much rather live a life without love than experience another unrequited love in this lifetime!

Leah exerted more force on her hand and pressed the blade into her throat.

Blood ran down her neck, and not long after, the entire dress turned red.

The moment she fell to the ground, she stared at the ceiling blankly with a smile of relief by the edge of her lips.

Her career was ruined, her love life was gone, and even her family was lost… She had lost to Sophia.

This terrible and tiring life was finally over…

Outside the hall.

Charles watched indifferently as the scene unfolded before him. “Save her,” he ordered the doctor and nurses standing beside him.
