When Stuart went downstairs, Raeleigh also followed. Stuart finally said, "Let's cremate her." By the time Jepherson lifted his head up, Stuart had already gone back upstairs. Raeleigh came down and informed Jepherson, "Let's get things ready." Jepherson ordered his men to make preparations. They did not intend to have a funeral service. When the hearse arrived, Stuart was the one who carried Lucy's body down. Melinda could not bear losing her daughter and fainted shortly after Lucy's body was taken away. She was in so much emotional stress that it took a toll on her body. Morgus was also devastated. Chirsen and his wife accompanied Stuart to the crematorium. Stuart did not put Lucy's body into the coffin. He held Lucy in his arms all the way to the crematorium. When he got there, he briefly applied makeup for her before putting her into the furnace. However, the people around could not bear the sight, not even Chirsen. So, they turned around and went out.
Crevor was strangled to death, his body hung from the chandelier, and his head drooped. Raeleigh's eyes were dull when she came in; she was the reason Crevor was dead. Crevor's face was bloated and had turned blue. Raeleigh grabbed a chair and took Crevor's body down from the swinging rope. Her heart was broken then; she loathed the world. Raeleigh had already begun to move the body when Jepherson came in. She wasn't supposed to use her left hand, but she used it for Crevor. Standing there quietly, Jepherson watched as Raeleigh carefully put the body down and sat on the ground, crying her eyes out as she held Crevor. Jepherson looked exceptionally awful; never in the world had he thought the love of his life had emotional ties for Crevor. His men came in shortly after, including Jared, saw Raeleigh sitting on the ground, crying. Raeleigh shed tears for both herself and Crevor, never thinking she would be the end of him. Raeleigh had cried for some ti
All of a sudden, Deanna thought things were getting exciting and followed Rossie further in with a grin on her face. Marissa was sitting in the living room right then. Her expression turned sour seeing the girls, and she got up to retreat to her room. Marissa still held a grudge for how Rossie saved Raeleigh from her grasps. She hated Raeleigh to her core, and the feeling now extended to Rossie. However, just as Marissa stood up, Rossie spoke. "My, if it isn't Madam Marissa. I didn't think I'd bump into you here; what a small world. I wonder what fate is up to, always bringing me to where you are. Don't you think it's funny?" Deanna gazed at Rossie as she mocked Marissa, amazed by her ability. She'd had to tell the story to her mother; her sister-in-law was like a smart and evil mistress straight out of the TV. Seeing how smug Rossie was, Deanna was no longer worried, placing her hands behind her back, and was no longer cold. As for Rossie, she looke
Panicked, Marissa stumbled backward, pointing at Rossie as she trembled. "B-bull-bullsh*t. What are you talking about?" "People make mistakes; that's normal, but those who right their wrongs can be forgiven. Unlike some people who would only keep doing the wrong even when they know it's wrong. Everyone knows that she is a heinous, evil witch, but her family kept quiet because they didn't want her to be sad. But she is an evil witch, after all, doing nothing but the wicked, yet living like a self-righteous a*s. If I were her, I'd just lock myself in a room and become a mummy." "What a shame. She's living all high and mighty even after hurting her own family." "Ridiculous, don't you think? I wonder if God has fallen asleep. How is she still alive and kicking when so many had died?" Deanna blinked in awe of her sister-in-law. What a razor tongue! However, Marissa was still their senior, so Deanna thought Rossie should still be a little more respectful. Even t
Raeleigh sat next to Santiago on the bed, watching the man who still showed no signs of waking up. Seeing Jepherson enter, she hid her left hand behind her back, asking as she looked at him, "Why are you here?" "Why can't I be?" Jepherson walked to her with a deadpan face and sat next to her, his gaze filled with determination. Silent, Raeleigh shifted her hand out, to which Jepherson went to hold, only for her to evade, saying, "I can still move it. It's fine." "I'll only know after I take a look at it. Why are you hiding it from me?" Eventually, Jepherson pulled her into his arms, trapping her, holding her hands behind her back. Raeleigh did not shed a tear but only rested her chin on Jepherson's shoulder. Giving a light squeeze on her hand, he coaxed, "Cry if you want to. Let it all out." Chuckling under her breath, Raeleigh said, "Does it look like I can shed a tear? I've murdered people and done the wicked; I believe I have a ticket to hell afte
Jepherson emerged from Santiago's room the next morning, but she didn't come out with him. Deanna stared at Santiago's room from downstairs and recalled Raeleigh spent the night there, but how was it that Jepherson came out from that room too? Had Raeleigh retreated to her room? "Jepherson, where's Raeleigh?" Only Deanna Whalen would be idiotic enough to ask boldly what no one would. Jepherson inadvertently glanced at her and said, "Raeleigh's still sleeping; she's tired. I've contacted some neurology experts; they'll come over in a few days. Please help me entertain them. I need to leave for a meeting." "You're leaving for a meeting? How do you still have the mood to do that? Aren't you supposed to go to the Doyle family? Zorion said Capital City has been in a state of chaos lately. A lot of people from far and wide are gathering here. They're probably here to come at you, so..." "Come at me?" No sooner had Jepherson quirked his eyebrows than Deanna
Having changed her clothes, wearing a pair of black gloves, Raeleigh descended the stairs leisurely and went to Santiago's room. Entering, she sat down next to Santiago and held his hand. "I want to tell you something. Deanna has given birth to twins with Jacky. They are named Cedric and Heitor. Because of the dispute with the Doyle family, Jacky has now been dragged into it. They waited until Jacky, Jepherson, and Zorion were attending a meeting together to kidnap the twins. I have to go now, and I'm not certain if I'll be able to bring the children back. So if you can hear me, wake up. I need your help." With that said, Raeleigh got up, and Scarlette immediately went to her, trying to persuade her to stay. "Raeleigh, you can't go. You're in no shape. Have you forgotten how Lucy died?" "I'll be fine, don't worry." Raeleigh glanced at Santiago, who still showed no signs of waking up. She thought that could wake him up, but it seemed that he would sleep his years away.
It took no time for Harvey to notice Raeleigh's car was following them. He glanced over at the highly tensed Deanna and continued to speed through the streets to her home. No one dared to cause chaos on the roads in broad daylight; they had been driving along the city center, and everybody gave way for them to pass. They eventually arrived at the Whalen family's home about more than an hour later. Luckily, nothing bad happened. Deanna had someone open the gates, and the car entered the yard while the car Raeleigh was in was parked outside. Deanna turned to look at Raeleigh, who waved at them, signaling Harvey to bring her in. He wasted no time doing so. Raeleigh then left for the RTA in the city center. When they arrived at the gates, Raeleigh got out of the car and went to ask for the director. The director knew her; she didn't explain why but just did. Raeleigh expressed her intention to have a look at the cameras on all the roads in the city. Without gi
