Chapter 1860
Molly’s tone was very calm, but Wayne’s expression immediately changed.
He immediately shot a sharp look at Jaime.
Jaime instantly felt a chill down his spine, he said solemnly, “We were playing by the lotus pond gazebo just now, Ivy
mentioned smelling a foul odor, and when I took a closer look, I indeed detected a stench. I thought maybe an
animal had died in the pond, so I started searching subconsciously..”
The scene in front of him was probably something Jaime would never forget in his life.
His eyes first caught sight of a few flies buzzing around the lush lotus leaves.
He instinctively walked towards it, and then he found a swollen, discolored human foot hiding under the lotus
leaves.
“Did Ivy see it?” Wayne asked, his face turning sour
“No. As soon as I saw it, I blocked the kids’ view. I picked Ivy up, grabbed Cory, and ran back Jaime quickly replied,

smell?”
“I knew it was the stench of a corpse, so I sent Ivy, Cory and Liam to look on the other side” Molly responded, “1
know who’s the dead one!”
“You know?” Jaime was dumbfounded, a thought suddenly struck him, “Don’t tell me you…”
Molly looked at him with clear eyes, Tm just a regular elementary school student now, I don’t kill people.”
Jaime subconsciously became prejudiced towards Molly.
“The pants on the corpse, I’ve seen them before” Molly continued, “It belongs to the butler who has been missing
for two days”
“The butler has been missing for two days? How did you know?” Jaime asked, shocked, while simultaneously
shooting a message to Baillie
He had already sent Baillie a message as soon as he found the body.
This time, he added the information that the deceased might be the butler.
“Besides being a good student, my duty also includes protecting Cory and Ivy, so I keep a sharp eye on the people
around them. The butler used to show up every morning, but he hasn’t appeared for the past two days.” Molly
answered
“You’re something! if it really is the butler, I owe you big time
“No need.” Molly calmly finished, glancing in the direction they came from, “If the coroner doesn’t make it here
soon and you need to determine the cause of death, you can ask my father, Felix. He’s a pro. I’ll head back in.”
Without waiting for Wayne and Jaime’s agreement, Molly simply walked away.
“Thank God we kept Molly around Jaime was as white as a sheet, his lips turning blue, his hand holding the phone
was shaking, “During your disappearance, a killer broke into the house and almost killed Cory and Ivy, it was thanks
to Molly stalling the killer that bought everyone some time!”
As he spoke, Jaime gave himself a slap
“I actually suspected her of murder… I’m such an ass!”
“Alright.” Wayne said, “Call all the security personnel from the convalescent center back, and make sure Rosalynn,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCory, and ivy are safe before leaving the Scott family”
“Got it, I’ve already called Felix back
Upon receiving the message, Felix immediately returned from the hospital with his tearn.
Baillie also returned.
Upon hearing this, he immediately ordered someone to set up a high fence around that area of the pond
The body was soon retrieved from the water, it was indeed the butler.
Felix followed Baillie to examine the body
“The hot weather these days will accelerate the decomposition of the body. Felix covered his mouth and nose,
estimated based on the number of maggots on the body, “He probably died the night before last, doesn’t look like
he drowned accidentally. I suspect he was drugged and then pushed into the water while unconscious Looks like a
murder case, I can’t move the body, we have to wait for the coroner to confirm the cause of death”
Baillie seemed very imitated.
Yesterday when Kate went to the convalescent center, the casually mentioned that the butler had gone back to his
hometown due to some personal matters
