CHAPTER 451: CHAPTER 451: BURIED IN THE SEA

Summer Sutton was holding a book, about to walk toward the school building.

When she only thought they were talking about the matter of being caught after hitting someone, Summer Sutton just responded with a faint "oh," without much reaction.

Zoe Baxter caught up with her in a few steps, sharing the gossip she had heard as they walked, "I heard that after she ran away from school yesterday, she jumped into the sea. Jumped into the sea! The sea near our school is so deep, and the water so fast, they haven’t even found a trace yet. The sea is so dangerous, it’s probably difficult to retrieve anything."

Summer Sutton was stunned for a moment, her footsteps halted.

Turning her head to look at her, Summer Sutton seemed a bit disbelieving in what she heard, "What did you say?"

"Gina Sutton perished in the sea, maybe without even a trace of her body." Zoe Baxter repeated, "This has been on the news, it’s not gossip, it’s not a rumor, the police have confirmed it."

Summer Sutton listened quietly to her words, her expression gradually freezing.

Gina Sutton was already dead...

After causing a disturbance on the street yesterday, Summer Sutton originally thought her final outcome would be serving time in prison, but unexpectedly, she chose to escape her crimes by jumping into the sea.

For such a malicious person, Summer Sutton did not feel sorry for her, it’s just that the incident happened too suddenly, and Summer Sutton was still a bit surprised.

"Let’s go, let’s go, class is starting!" Zoe Baxter nudged her, pulling her quickly toward the campus.

Summer Sutton attended classes at school for a few days, and only a few days after the incident with Gina Sutton, Summer Sutton heard another surprising piece of news: Betty Chapman, due to Gina Sutton’s death and William Sutton’s imprisonment, had a nervous breakdown and went completely mad.

After running out from the Sutton Family’s villa in Northtown, she disappeared without a trace...

One year later.

Summer Sutton was now in her senior year, and the school’s arrangement for students was that the entire academic year was mostly dedicated to internships.

The sentencing for William Sutton was a few days ago, sentenced to death with immediate execution.

Summer Sutton attended the trial, listening to the entire process of the incident completely.

In the face of evidence, William Sutton confessed to the crime, recounting the events himself.

The accident involving Father Sutton back then, was intentionally orchestrated by William Sutton, finding an excuse to bring Father Sutton, who was supposed to be abroad, back to the country temporarily. On the way home after arriving in the country, before reaching home, he bribed someone to stage the accident at that time.

Hush money was paid after the accident, and if it weren’t for Adrian Walyon’s reinvestigation after so many years, the truth about this matter might have been buried.

After William Sutton’s sentence took effect, the next day Summer Sutton made a trip back to River City, intending to pay respects to Father Sutton.

Upon arrival, she unexpectedly found another bunch of flowers placed in front of Father Sutton’s tombstone, fresh chrysanthemums, as if someone had just been there recently.

This kind of occurrence happened as early as a year ago when Summer Sutton came.

She didn’t know who the person was back then.

But this time, it was after helping convict the person who harmed her father to death penalty.

Summer Sutton quietly looked at the bouquet for a moment, already having guessed everything.

He had been here!

He must have come to see her father on her behalf, right?

Placing the flowers she brought down, Summer Sutton looked around, trying to capture that familiar figure.

However, near the tombstone, it was quiet, and besides her, there was no one else.

He was already gone...

Summer Sutton felt a sudden emptiness in her heart.

She just stood there in front of the tombstone, lost in thought for a long time, as if her soul had followed the person who had been here before...
