BXBX NOVEL Chapter 676 676
"Are you done with everything?" Diamond asked one of the henchmen who had spent a long time in the morgue. She leaned on the wall, writing a memo on her phone while waiting for the report.
"Everything has been taken care of, Miss. We\'ve stuffed that old woman\'s body into a body bag, and also cleaned those six men she brought."
"What kind of clean up?"
"Mr. Phoenix Gray told me not to kill them as it was unnecessary and it\'d be a pain to handle their bodies, so he told me to keep them locked in an abandoned house and intimidate them."
"Yes, intimidate and threaten them, break them enough so they won\'t dare to talk about their experience in this morgue," Diamond said coldly. "You can go now, I will handle the cremation. The payment for all of you will be sent in a week."
"Thank you so much, Miss."
The man excused himself and left Diamond alone. Diamond stared at the snowfall that would turn into a snowstorm soon, it was a very cold day, and nobody was around the hospital corridor. So it was a perfect time to execute something like kidnapping… or murder.
Diamond entered the morgue and saw two bodies on the body trays. One was zipped until Diamond couldn\'t see her face, but she had already guessed the identity.
While the other one was Maria\'s corpse. She looked pale, and the strangulation caused by Chloe created an obvious wound on her neck. Diamond unzipped her body bag to check her chest and noticed a big wound right under her chest. It seemed the man executed her by punching her liver until it burst inside.
"Look at you, old bitch. Died because of your own stupid mistake. Bet you didn\'t expect that Chloe could fight back," Diamond scoffed. "Well, that\'s understandable. You literally abandoned your family, your husband, son, daughter to devote yourself to Vaughn. You don\'t know the concept of motherly love, because no mother would abandon her children like that."
"But it\'s okay, everyone has something they\'re lacking, and for you, Maria, you lacked something called conscience," Diamond said coldly. "Have fun in hell, I hope you rot inside that place forever. Though, before you can enter hell, you will enter the sewer first, hahahahah!"
After having a good laugh, Diamond zipped the body bag until it covered Maria\'s face completely and then left the morgue.
She strutted towards the hospital front desk. The woman on the desk was so pale that she was no different from the bodies inside the morgue.
She flinched when she saw Diamond standing in front of her. Of course, she knew the identity of this beautiful woman. She was Mr. Phoenix Gray\'s secretary and equally dangerous, "M—May I help you with something, Miss?"
"First of all, I want to know how there could be someone waiting to ambush Mrs. Phoenix Gray in the Morgue," Diamond said. Her eyes peered at the front desk. "Did you receive a payment from her?"
"N—Not me, Miss! I don\'t know who\'s the one who gave them permission to enter the morgue. There are so many people in this hospital, they might as well have come disguised as a patient visitor and sneaked to the morgue."
Though Diamond wasn\'t satisfied, she knew she wouldn\'t find the culprit like this. There were so many possibilities as to how Maria could enter this hospital, so Diamond decided to drop the question instead.
"Fine, it\'s indeed difficult to track everyone here," Diamond said. "Anyway, I\'m here to sign the documents to cremate the body of Judith Carlson and that old woman, her name is Maria."
"Mr. Phoenix Gray already told me about the cremation of both of them before," the front desk said. She leaned forward to whisper because she didn\'t want to get caught, even though they were literally in the hospital with nobody around since there was a snowstorm outside.
"But Miss, what about that old woman? Would there be anyone who might search for her?"
"No," Diamond replied without hesitation. "That old woman has no family. She is a crazy old lady who wants to hurt Mrs. Phoenix Gray. Don\'t worry about it, you can always call me if there\'s someone searching for her, though it\'s very unlikely."
After getting Diamond\'s number, the woman was assured, "Alright, Miss. I will handle the cremation documents and process them. The process takes about ten hours for two bodies, so we can send the urn in about ten days. The process of sending the urn takes that long because we\'ll have a few breaks during Christmas and New Year."
Diamond nodded, "Don\'t forget to send both of them, and name them properly. Give them different kinds of urn."
"Different kind of urn?"
"Yes, give a proper urn for Judith Carlson\'s ashes," Diamond said. "And for the other one… put it in a dollar store bottle or something, I don\'t really care as long as the ashes are contained inside."
"Y—Yes, Miss, I understand."
Diamond signed a few documents before finishing the process and rushed to her car because the snowstorm was getting heavier.
"Phew, this is an exhausting morning. I want to just go back to my apartment and rewatch Legally Blonde with a bag of popcorn and cot cocoa," Diamond complained. "But still, I\'m very happy for my homegirl. She has the strength to fight back when her daughter is threatened. She is truly a mother who will do everything for her daughter."
"And now that old bitch is dead, we\'re getting close to ending it all," Diamond muttered with a big smile. "I can\'t wait to attend their wedding and wear my purple dress as Chloe\'s bridesmaid. I hope they\'re doing a private wedding though, I don\'t want to waste my time meeting with unknown people."
Diamond texted her boss right after she started the engine to heat her car first.

To: Mr. Phoenix Gray.
Sir, I\'ve handled everything. It\'ll take ten days for you to get those urns and don\'t worry about the Paparazzi and news outlets. They will gather around the NYC police department tomorrow morning.
