Chapter 374: Chapter 316 Marc Isn’t Dead
"Ah!"
Claire and Sarah screamed when they saw this scene, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. They screamed and hid in the corner of the room.
What was going on?
Could it be Marc’s ghost?
"Dad ... Dad, I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to hurt you... Don’t come to me. I’m Murray’s mother. Don’t take me away..." Sarah was so terrified that she threw away the flashlight in her hand and covered her eyes tightly. She didn’t dare to look at Marc, who had suddenly sat up.
Claire also trembled with fear. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead. "Grandpa? You... I didn’t mean to hurt you. Don’t blame me. If you have to blame someone, go to find that bitch Melissa. It’s all because of her. Otherwise, the thing wouldn’t become like this." Claire said.
"So, it was you two who poisoned me and framed Melissa. Now you even want to steal my body and destroy the evidence?" Marc, who was sitting on the iron bed, suddenly opened his mouth.
Sarah and Claire looked at each other. They had already freaked out and could only nod at Marc.
"We were ... forced to do that. Grandpa, we didn’t mean to poison you." Claire bit her lower lip. She was afraid that Murray would ask someone to expose Marc’s body the next day. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so anxious to steal his body at this time.
"Did you say that you were forced to do this?" Marc sneered. "One of you is Murray’s biological mother, and the other is his cousin. Who dares to force you to do something? Claire, nice try!"
Hearing this, Claire was stunned. She thought, Grandpa has never directly called her by her name, nor has he called Murray by his name.
There is only one explanation...
"Something is wrong!" Claire suddenly thought,
"It is impossible for ghosts to exist in this world!It is even more impossible for a man to resurrect himself! So..."
Claire stood up pointing her finger in Marc’s direction, the fear in her heart gave way to fury. She said snapping, "You are not my grandpa! Who are you?"
"Claire, what are you talking about?" Sarah squatted confused on the ground after hearing her words.
Claire turned around and helped the woman up. "Sarah, don’t be afraid. This person in front of you is not grandpa at all. It’s just that someone is playing tricks on us!"
"What?" Sarah was still confused.
Claire looked at "Marc" on the iron bed and sneered. "What? Do you still want to pretend? Who are you? Why did you pretend to be my grandpa’s ghost? What exactly do you want to do?"
"Well, I didn’t expect the truth to be discovered so quickly." The old and cold voice of "Marc" suddenly turned soft and gentle. It sounded like a delicate female voice.
Claire was very familiar with that voice.
Suddenly, Claire thought of a woman who she hated the most!
It was her!
"Marc" nimbly removed the white cloth from the iron bed and jumped down. Then, "he" removed a piece of skin from the face, revealing Melissa’s face.
"Melissa, it’s really you!" Claire said viciously.
"Melissa? Weren’t you taken away by the police?" Sarah asked with widened eyes.
She had asked someone to beat up Melissa when she was locked up in prison.
Why is she here?
Sarah and Claire wondered so at the same time. Their eyes glaring with fear as if they had seen something very shocking!
Crack!
The originally dark morgue suddenly lit up.
The blinding light made Claire and Sarah narrow their eyes subconsciously. Then, they saw the door of the morgue open. Marc was sitting in a wheelchair, and he was pushed in by Murray.
Marc wasn’t dead!
Claire and Sarah looked at each other seeing panic in the other’s eyes.
The two of them hurriedly walked over, pretending to be crying tears of joy.
"Dad."
"Grandpa!"
Claire and Sarah said in sync, "We knew that you would be fine. We didn’t believe that you were dead, so we came here to take a look. You are really alive!"
Marc snorted bleakly and flung their hands away from his legs.
"You two don’t have to shed crocodile tears in front of me. I heard what you said just now. If Melissa didn’t come up with a way to fake my death, I really wouldn’t have known that the two of you were the ones who tried to poison me secretly!"
Marc’s eyes were filled with disappointment and sadness.
No matter how much Marc disliked Claire and Sarah, he would treat them as his family members anyway.
Marc had never treated them badly. Even though these people had wanted to kill him.
"Grandpa. It’s not like that. It’s all because of Melissa. It’s all because of her..." Claire wanted to explain, but she didn’t know what she could say to convince him.
Sarah fell to the ground helplessly.
Claire and Sarah were calculating, but they didn’t expect that Melissa and Murray would make such a trap and wait for them to take the bait!
It was all over this time!
Claire’s and Sarah’s actions just now had told others that they were the murderers.
Claire was still trying to talk Marc into believing that Melissa was the guilty one. Seeing this scene, Melissa serenely walked over to look at Claire and Sarah with disdain.
"Claire, you said it was all my fault. Did I force you to poison grandpa? Did I force you and Mrs. Gibson to steal grandpa’s body? She asked acidly.
"If it wasn’t for your selfishness, how would you have gotten yourself into this situation?"
"I..." Claire bit her pale lips. She didn’t know what she could say.
"Mom, you have disappointed me." Murray’s face was tense and cold.
"I’m sorry, son. I’m sorry. Don’t call the police, OK? I don’t want to go to jail. If Claire and I go to jail, our future will be ruined!" Sarah rushed over and hugged Murray’s leg tightly, crying.
"Since you know the consequences, why did you do it?" Murray pushed Sarah away.
"From now on, grandpa is my only family. And I have no one else to be my family member." He turned his head away, ignoring Sarah’s crying.
"Murray..." Sarah fell to the ground helplessly, and her face was pale as death. She knew that he meant it.
Murray really wanted to cut off the relationship between him and Sarah!
Claire stood at the side, not daring to say a word.
Murray was cruel to his biological mother. Claire thought she was just Murray’s cousin, and she would definitely end up even worse!
"Take them away!" Murray’s cold eyes were full of resentment. He didn’t want to say any more words to them. He waved his hand, and a group of bodyguards came from outside to drag Claire and Sarah away.
Melissa looked worriedly at Murray. She opened her mouth but didn’t say anything in the end. Then, Melissa followed him and Marc outside.
The morgue regained its silence and cold.
A pair of bright eyes flashed in the dark corner of the corridor. Ryleigh, who had witnessed everything, felt a chill down her spine.
