“I had been looking for a picture of Victor for a long time, but I was not able to find a picture of him smiling.” Carson walked to

Rachel’s side.

“He rarely ever let anyone take photos of him, so this was all I could find.

It was from the time he took the wedding photo.”

It was a picture that was taken when Victor’s grandmother pretended to be sick and forced him to come back from the company.

Rachel frowned but remained silent as she gently placed the bouquet of flowers in her hand below the picture.

It seemed like Carson had not slept in a long time and he looked very haggard.

“Where’s Joey?”

“He left Apliaria,” Rachel answered in a low voice.

“When did he leave?” Carson wasn’t too surprised because he was expecting it to happen.

“It’s good that he left this place.”

Rachel turned to him and said softly, “I haven’t told him about

Victor’s death.”

“That’s for the best.

I did not want to let him know about it so early, either.” It seemed like Carson had changed overnight.

He was so much steadier than before that for a moment Rachel thought that perhaps being a playboy was just an act.

However, she did not let herself think too much of it.

The funeral lasted for two hours.

Carson was there the whole time, gently bowing to the guests who came to mourn.

But still, there were only a few who came.

Hector had fallen ill on the day the doctor had announced Victor’s death, but he still came to the funeral with the help of his wife.

He walked over to the stairs and put down an old yellow notebook.

“You brat…” Hector struggled to force a smile.

“I rummaged through all the boxes and cabinets last night just to find this old notebook.

You came to my house every day to look for it, but you never found iso

Jenna’s eyes turned red when she heard those words.

“Do you know where this notebook was?” Hector let out a heavy cough.

“I hid it behind the headboard of my bed.

I bet you did not expect that, did you? I hid it there on purpose.

I did it so you would often come and keep me and my wife company.

Though you were a stubborn brat, I have liked you from the moment we met.

I advised you to become a policeman and leave those messy things behind, but you did not listen to me.

You’re such a brat! Why didn’t you Listen to me? You kept saying that you didn’t want to fail your grandma’s expectations.

I told you to take good care of yourself, but you kept busy for that damned company.

You married a good girl, but you tortured her, and in the end, when she did not want you anymore, you regretted it.

Honestly, if I were her, I wouldn’t want you either.
