Chapter 2292
Sebastian was shocked they found Dean's body, but he quickly regained his composure when the doctor handed the DNA test results to him, proving that the body indeed was Dean.Dean and Natalie had been engaged in a battle to the death, and no matter who would be defeated, it would end nastily.Since Dean's body had completely decomposed, they could not keep the body, and the Jennings family had him cremated immediately. They were only able to bring his ashes back home that night.Mr. Lycett followed the family and watched as Dean's decayed body burnt down to nothing.Though the body had already been cremated, the siblings still needed to discuss the details of his funeral."Mr. Lycett, announce our father's will now!" Violet looked at Mr. Lycett.Mr. Lycett immediately turned to look at Sebastian."Haha! Mr. Lycett, you didn't have to act so obviously. Have you informed Sebastian about what's written in the will?" Furious, Violet asked sharply, "Sebastian might be my father's c

"Don't be mad, Sis. Bobby didn't get anything as well. I pity you two! The two of you had made so many sacrifices for the family, and he didn't even leave you with anything. This is favoritism!""This will will be voided!" Violet's expression darkened as she gritted her teeth. "Just wait, Sebastian! I won't tolerate this!"Violet snatched the paper from the floor and stormed out of the mansion. The others followed her lead.The lawyer noticed the expression on Sebastian's face and tapped him on the shoulder. "Your father's will is protected by law, and even if they don't like it, they must accept reality. Sebastian, just make sure you focus on your father's funeral so the others won't think that the family is in a mess at the moment.""Thank you for the consolation. I knew that they would be furious and might even band together to file a lawsuit against me to get the money," Sebastian said. "I've hired a capable lawyer just in case, and if this really happens, I hope that I can hav

[I will handle that once my dad's funeral is over. Natalie still hasn't shown her face or contacted me.] Sebastian replied.[Leave her be. You can always think of a way to deal with her once she acts. She might be forming a plan.][She's probably the one who killed Dean. I'm a little afraid of her. I wanted to work with her before, but she ignored my offer.][There's no limit to how low she would sink, and she is no different than other criminals. People like her might be scary, but only the just will prevail. Just be careful, but don't be afraid.][When are you coming back to Bridgedale?][I won't be going back anytime soon. I will let you know if I'm visiting.][Okay.]Avery felt slightly concerned after chatting with Sebastian.Sebastian grew up with his mother, and children who grew up in a single-parent family would often lack a sense of security and would be more sensitive than others.She knew that Sebastian had to be worried to message her about Natalie. After a few th

She was terrified and was left with no option but to leave with her grandmother.After the morning prayer, the old woman took Irene into one of the church rooms. "Where will you go now?" one of the nuns asked."I have a relative that I can rely on. I only took Irene here because she was frail, and maybe it's because of the fresh air here, but she has indeed grown much healthier after staying here for over a year. I beg that you don't expose our whereabouts to others."The old woman compensated the church for looking after Irene, and she had stayed in the church to help them with their chores, and the nuns had great respect for her.When the old woman was bidding farewell to the nuns, Irene looked around. Her eyes sparkled with intelligence, and she had an air that drew people to her. "Grandma, I want to pee," she looked up and said, before running off.The old woman did not give it much thought and continued to talk to the nuns."Ever since Rose left, Irene's been depressed.

"Probably Avery Tate," the old woman drawled. "You should have lived a life like a princess, but someone ruined it."Tears welled up in her eyes again, and Irene shook her head frantically. "Could you have been mistaken, Grandma? Aunt Avery seems like a nice person. Why else would the sisters let her take Rose with her?""Do you really think that I would lie to you? Irene, why would I take you into hiding if you can live a normal life? The bad people had killed all your family members."Irene burst into tears."If only Madam didn't buy you off those traffickers, you would have died a long time ago. Irene, we must obey Madam to live." The old woman placed Irene on her lap and wiped away her tears."Who is Madam?""She is a silly and innocent woman who had nothing to do with all this, but she had come to Aryadelle years ago to look into those murders for the sake of the man she loves… She thinks that Avery was behind the murders... She is now gathering proof..."The old woman's wo

"Yeah. Earlier this morning, Shea even said that she wants to dye her hair white... I think she's probably going to do that if we really get to adopt Rose."Avery could not help but chuckle. "Let her do whatever she wants! Shea will look good in any color.""I told her to calm down and consider the matter for a few days," Wesley said. "Dying her hair isn't good for her hair and her scalp after all.""It's not really that bad as long as she doesn't do it frequently, or maybe you can get her a wig," Avery suggested. "She wore wigs all the time before.""I can't believe that I didn't think of that. I will talk to Shea once Rose's body check is done.""Yeah. Layla and Robert fell in love with Rose the moment they saw her last night. They thought that she was Ivy," Avery said with a smile, but the smile soon faded. "I hope that Ivy found someone who's kind to her as well.""She definitely did. You and Elliot are good people, and the gods would definitely shower Ivy with mercy. Even if

Avery's heart was moved for a moment, but before she could respond, her bodyguard interfered. "Rose, Aunt Avery doesn't run an orphanage. She only took you here because you are ill and need special care. You can't force her to take care of your best friend as well."Avery glared at the bodyguard and said, "Don't run your mouth. If the church has trouble caring for the kids, of course, I can take care of them."Rose flushed and muttered shyly, "Uncle, I just want Irene to find someone nice as well. I am not asking Aunt Avery to adopt Irene. I know raising a child isn't easy."Rose's mature tone left the bodyguard slightly embarrassed. "Rose, I was just reminding you that we aren't an orphanage, I do not blame you for anything. Don't take it personally!" he explained gingerly and awkwardly."You are definitely going to like Irene if you see her, Uncle," Rose said. "She is smart and cute. She is the cutest kid I've ever seen.""Is she as cute as you?" the bodyguard asked.Rose was o

"Aunt Avery, will I really get to be all those things?" Rose asked sheepishly."Of course! No matter what you want to become, we can work hard toward it. You can tell your secrets to Aunt Shea or me. We will be your best friends.""Okay!"The next morning, Layla and Robert woke up before seven.The weather was not great and the sky was dark.Layla planned to take a box of hairclips with her to give as gifts to the girls living in the church.She had a few drawers full of hairclips, and a lot of them had not even been unboxed.Robert watched as his sister prepared the gifts and felt the urge to do the same."Layla, what can I get them, then?" Robert did not have hairclips, and all his toys were too big to be carried onto the mountain."You are still young. You don't need to prepare gifts for them!" Layla glanced at Robert and Robert pouted gloomily.Noticing his pout after picking out the hair clips she would take with her, Layla said, "You have a lot of money, don't you? Just
