Chapter 401

She thought she had herself under control, but she still broke down, tears streaming uncontrollably. In those tears were her child, her past life, her everything.Through her sobs, she choked out, “Uncle Carl…”“I’ve told you—I’m not your uncle,” Carl said, his frown deepening.“Uncle Carl.”“Fine,” he sighed, rubbing his temples. “But don’t sniffle. I can’t kiss you like that.”“What…?”Before she could finish, Carl leaned in and kissed her.Renee froze, startled. She instinctively raised her hands to push him away, but he caught them and held them tightly. Her fingers trembled slightly in his grasp.The quiet room filled with faint sounds—the deepening of their breaths, soft murmurs between their lips…Renee tried to struggle, but her strength failed her. All she could do was stare wide-eyed at the man before her.For a fleeting moment, she thought she saw something glimmer in his dark eyes—a flash of tenderness that was almost too faint to catch.The next second, Carl pul

Chapter 402

On their way to the front parlor, Renee and Susanne noticed the butler leading several of the elder members of the Grey family toward the family library hall.“Mom, why is everyone going to the library hall?” Renee asked, puzzled.Susanne glanced around nervously. “This can’t be good. Something serious is about to happen.”Worried about Patrick, she grabbed Renee’s arm and led her toward the hall.When they arrived, the place was packed with people. The crowd stood neatly divided into two sides, and Renee quickly pulled Susanne to an inconspicuous spot at the back.Peering toward the far end of the hall, Renee noticed that even the reclusive elder members of the family had been called in.At the center of it all, Carl and Michael sat in the seats of honor. Their expressions were solemn and stern.In the middle of the hall, Travis knelt on the floor, his jaw clenched tightly. Next to him, Linda looked pale and disheveled, her usual poise as the first lady of the family completely

Chapter 403

Deep down, Michael was a rigid traditionalist, a man of unyielding pride and deeply rooted masculinity. Being questioned so directly by Patrick, the son who usually followed the rules, left him humiliated.He grabbed his teacup and hurled it to the ground, the sharp crash of breaking porcelain making everyone hold their breath.“Have you lost your mind? How dare you speak to me like that!” he bellowed.But Patrick wasn’t his usual deferential self. Meeting his father’s glare head-on, he asked calmly, “Dad, do you really think you bear no responsibility for how Travis ended up like this?”Michael’s breathing grew heavy, his jaw tightening as his lips pressed into a grim line.Hearing this, Travis, who had kept his head lowered, suddenly looked up at Patrick in confusion.“Uncle Patrick, what do you mean by that?”Patrick’s lips curled into a faint, bitter smile. “Maybe it’s better if someone else explains it to you.”With that, he turned his gaze toward the entrance to the famil

Chapter 404

Linda was shoved aside by Carl, falling hard onto the cold, unforgiving floor.She had always known how to play her role, and while she didn’t hold much actual power in the Grey family, her position as the "first wife" had earned her a loyal following.But now, sitting on the ground, she found no one rushing to help her. Even her husband, Marcus, had turned his back to stand protectively in front of the woman and young girl.Only Travis remained by her side, glaring furiously at Marcus. “Dad! Is Mom wrong? If it wasn’t for her seducing you, would you have abandoned us? You’re the eldest son of the Grey family, the heir to the company, with a future anyone would envy!”Marcus checked on the mother and daughter behind him to ensure they were unharmed before looking back at Travis with a weary expression. “Even now, you still believe everything your mother says?”Travis stiffened, clearly unsure how to respond.Linda clung to his arm, her voice trembling as she urged him on. “Don’t

Chapter 405

Linda tightened her grip on Travis’s hand, her voice urgent. “Travis! They’re trying to turn us against each other! You’re my son—would I ever harm you?”Her words did ease some of Travis’s doubts.But Marcus’s next statement shattered the facade completely, exposing Linda’s true nature.“I used to believe even the fiercest beast wouldn’t harm its own cub, but you—Linda—you sacrificed your own son for the sake of your useless brother!”“That’s not true! I didn’t do that!” Linda screamed, her voice raw as she clung to Travis. “I’ve been the one taking care of him all these years. You have no right to criticize me!” She tugged at Travis’s arm, urging him. “Come on, Travis. Let’s leave this place. We don’t need to stay here any longer!”As she tried to drag him away, Carl stepped forward, raising his hand to block their path.“Travis, you’ve hated me for years. Don’t you want to know the truth about the car accident back then?”“Don’t listen to him! Let’s go!” Linda’s voice was shar

Chapter 406

“She did all of this for the Clark family,” Renee said sharply. “She even admitted that setting me up with Uncle Carl was part of her plan. If she succeeded, the Grey family would have become the Clark family’s pawn. Her heart was always with them, not here.”The moment those words fell, murmurs rippled through the crowd.“So it was Linda who orchestrated everything with Carl and Renee?”“That makes sense. She prepared the feast that night—it would’ve been easy for her to tamper with it. Nobody suspected her back then.”“Does she really think the Clark family is still what it was twenty years ago?”The whispered accusations shattered Linda’s defenses. Her frail body seemed to give out, and she collapsed to the floor like a kite with its string cut.Clenching her fists weakly, she muttered, “Was it wrong to protect my family? Didn’t Michael arrange our marriage because of the Clark family’s strength back then? When my family started to decline, he refused to help, nitpicking every

Chapter 407

“You should be thankful,” Marcus said, his voice echoing through the family hall, heavy with restrained anger. “The one thing she never taught us was hatred. I willingly became your puppet just so Carl could grow up in peace.”“I followed your orders—I agreed to an arranged marriage and maintained the family’s reputation. But on the day she died, you were off fooling around with a secretary young enough to be your daughter. That’s when Patrick and I decided to give everything back to Carl.”His voice reverberated through the hall, spilling out into the courtyard. The sky seemed to darken, casting a heavy gloom over the gathering.Everyone fell silent. Even the air felt heavier.Renee finally understood—this wasn’t a secret to anyone present. It was a truth buried for the sake of the family’s pride, never to be spoken aloud.Her eyes shifted to Carl.He sat with his head bowed, the flickering candlelight casting shadows under his eyes.In her past life, Renee hadn’t known any of

Chapter 408

The little girl looked confused, but her mother gently pulled her back.“Don’t call her old. That’s not polite.”“But Uncle Carl isn’t old, so his wife must not be old either,” the little girl said innocently.Renee’s face flushed as she awkwardly laughed, finally managing to pull her hand free from Carl’s grip.The girl’s mother glanced between them, clearly understanding the situation but choosing not to comment. With a knowing smile, she said, “We run a little diner near the university. Stop by if you have time.”“Sure,” Carl replied.Renee couldn’t help but feel that her instincts were right. They seemed like genuinely warm and easygoing people.As the family of three walked away, Renee pressed her lips together. She felt a strange mix of closure and uncertainty, like things had settled but weren’t fully resolved.If so much had been happening behind the scenes in her previous life, who was truly to blame for what had happened to Sarah and herself?Her thoughts drifted bac

“Have the driver bring the car around,” Carl instructed, glancing briefly at Renee before turning to leave. “One week. I’ll expect it then.”With that, he strode quickly toward the backyard.Renee blinked in surprise. Expect what? Who agreed to this?She moved to follow him but was stopped by Patrick.“Renee, let it go,” he said, his tone firm but kind. “Linda’s not in a good mental state right now. You don’t want her taking it out on you. Go check on your mom instead.”“Alright,” Renee agreed after a moment. He was right—after everything that had happened, getting further involved in the drama of the main house was a bad idea.As she watched the two men leave, she turned and headed toward the backyard to find Susanne.Pushing open the door, Renee was surprised not to hear Susanne’s usual boisterous energy. It wasn’t until she reached the second floor that she found her mother sitting by the window, staring into the distance.“Mom, what’s wrong?”Susanne jumped at the sound of

Chapter 410

Linda’s funeral was so simple it didn’t even measure up to an average person’s. Ordinary people at least mourn for three days. She was cremated hastily, buried in a small plot of land, and that was it.Travis wanted to organize a small memorial service for her, but every call he made went unanswered. No one wanted to show up—except for the very people Linda had most sought to harm.Even her beloved brother, Leon Clark, had fled the country with his entire family, taking all the money he could.The irony was that Leon’s escape was only possible because Linda, clinging to her final breath, had tipped him off.It was hard to feel anything but indifference toward her end.Renee hadn’t intended to come, but Susanne had wanted to pay her respects.In the cold, desolate wind, Travis appeared in a black suit, his face gaunt, cheeks sunken as if the life had been drained out of him.He lowered Linda’s urn into the small grave, placed the headstone, and just like that, a person’s life cam
