"Angeline, I was there when she died." Jay did not plan to keep this from Angeline because even if he did not say it, Cole, that flatterer, would.

"Was the driver one of your men?" Angeline asked.

Jay shook his head. "No. I don't know the offender."

Angeline stared at Jay with a confused gaze, silently ruling out the possibility of Jay being the direct cause of Judy's death.

"How did she die, then?"

Jay replied, "She was killed by her unrepenting ways and greed."

Angeline grew even more confused.

Jay continued to explain, "I had an argument with Cole in the car so I pulled over right in front of a wall and got out of the car in a fit of pique. Coincidentally, I saw Judy standing at the road ahead, about to cross. When she saw me, she looked like she was put under a spell and forgot to cross the road. Even when the traffic light turned green, she continued to stand there like a wooden puppet. The drivers were impatient, so they began driving, shuttling back and forth as she stood in the middle. Then very suddenly, she rushed toward me... and a truck that was speeding just..."

Jay did not want Angeline to learn about Judy's gruesome death, so he did not go on at this point.

"What did you do to her?" Angeline looked at Jay.

Her instincts told her that Judy would not have run for no reason.

Jay's countenance suddenly chilled as he replied sullenly, "She clearly knows that I'm married yet still let her feelings run free. Death is too good for people like her."

Angeline sighed. "She may have made a mistake, but that's not enough to warrant death. Judy is just like Baby Zetty. They both fell in love with the wrong person. They're persistent but also full of affection. They just don't know how to free themselves."

Jay corrected her, saying, "They're not the same. When Baby Zetty loves someone, she would choose to destroy herself in order to give others her blessings; on the other hand, Judy is an egoist, both selfish and vicious..."

Angeline smiled weakly and said, "Your daughter is your little cotton ball, so you'll accept everything she does. But you're prejudiced against Judy... so you tend to magnify all her mistakes..."

Angeline lamented, "The dead are gone. Don't worry, I won't give myself trouble. I just think that an orphan like her deserves a proper burial considering she died such a tragic death in Imperial Capital. I guess that's the last thing you could do to fulfill your promise to

her father."

Jay's expression sank when he suddenly recalled the words Judy's father previously said. He had entrusted Judy to him before he died. He said gloomily," Entrusting Judy to me was the greatest mistake." Angeline got out of bed and picked out two sets of black-colored clothes. One for herself, another for Jay. She said, "Put this on. We'll go and pay our last respects."

Jay did not refuse this time and put on the clothes compliantly.

After breakfast, Angeline and Jay came to the funeral parlor.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they could hear Sandra's heart-wrenching cries.

The Yorks were all standing around the funeral parlor's entrance with grievous expressions.

Jay helped Angeline out of the car and walked straight to Spencer, whispering, "Can you come with m e, Uncle Spencer? I have something to ask you."

Spencer and Jay then walked to the side. Jay had a solemn countenance and went straight to the point." Cole said that you released Judy and Sandra?"

Spencer widened his eyes and defended himself with an aggrieved expression. "Did that brat really say that? You told me not to let them go, so why would I go against your wishes?"

Jay studied Jay's reaction and knew that Cole's speculation was wrong.

In that case, the one who had let Judy and Sandra go was someone else, and this person intended to use Judy and Sandra to harm them.

"I'm glad to hear that it wasn't you," Jay said.

Jay glanced at Sandra from afar and asked, "Why is she here?"

Spencer explained, "Sandra saw the trending hashtags and came to the funeral parlor to pay her last respects."

Jay sneered, "Well she sure is well-informed."
