Sebastian stammered, trying to regain his composure. He couldn't understand why Katherine would choose to dress in such a seducing manner when the rest of her family was mourning their foster sister's death, especially considering the strained atmosphere between them.Katherine turned to face Sebastian, her expression unreadable, she bit her lower lip. "I didn't expect to see you here," she replied coolly, her tone laced with a hint of defiance.

"I'll do everything in my power to uncover the truth, Lillian," he said softly, his voice filled with resolve. "We'll find out what really happened to Maya."Lillian nodded, a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty playing across her features. She squeezed Sebastian's hand, grateful for his unwavering support."Sebastian, I can't believe Maya is gone," Lillian said, her voice trembling with emotion.

Lillian stood confidently, representing her family's interests, with Mrs. Rojas and Sebastian seated nearby.Just as Lillian was about to speak, the door slid open, and Katherine walked in, everyone turned in shock to see Katherine. Gasps and murmurs filled the room as those who heard she was dead couldn't believe their eyes, the ones who attended her funeral shifted in their seat.Katherine let out a knowing smirk and a sweet smile aimed at her sister who was already questioning the fact that she was there.
