Chapter 1598

As Carol spoke, she looped her arm through Arabella’s and they strolled into the flower shop to buy a

fresh bouquet of white roses.

While the florist was wrapping up the flowers, Carol whipped out her phone and started tapping away

furiously, meanwhile saying, "Just give me a sec."

Arabella nodded, took out her own phone to catch up on some work emails, not prying into what Carol

was up to but simply waiting quietly by her side.

After a short while, the florist handed over the neatly packaged bouquet, and Carol, finished with her

task, took the flowers and linked arms with Arabella as they left the shop.

“Once Katherine gets back, she'll definitely paint a dramatic picture of what happened to my dad. So, I

hacked into the store's surveillance system and sent the footage to my dad already.”

Only then did Arabella realize what Carol had been busying herself with. Carol's hacking skills were

nothing to scoff at. Arabella had discovered this firsthand when she and Romeo had tried to break into

Carol's computer and found it safeguarded by a firewall. At that time, Carol had even set up three

security questions, all relating to Clark.

Thinking back, it all seemed like a distant memory.

“I told my dad that Katherine started the whole mess, that she threw the flowers I’d bought for Crystal's

tribute on the ground and stomped on them. She even spewed nonsense about my late mom. I simply

asked for compensation for the bouquet, and before I could demand an apology, she threw a fit. The

surveillance footage clearly shows they were the ones who kept provoking the situation.” Carol

explained, not forgetting to reassure Arabella, “Don’t worry, I won’t let them walk all over me in this

family.”

She had been groomed to be the successor since she was little. Katherine thought she could take

advantage of Carol? Fat chance.

On their drive to pay respects to Crystal, Arabella mentioned, “The Doom gang has been pretty much

wiped out. Romeo and Clark have really stepped up.”

Of course, her aunt and uncle abroad had also been a big help. Hans had lent a hand from the

shadows too. Grandpa Eugene and his friends, along with other beloved elders, had all pitched in.

“You'll finally have a peaceful year,” Arabella said with a gentle glance at Carol.

Carol felt a weight lift off her shoulders as she looked ahead, reflecting, “I don’t even know how I got

through those days before.”

The days of running for her life, being on constant alert, were about to be behind her. And it was all

thanks to Arabella.

“Bella, thank you.” Carol looked at her gratefully, “If it wasn't for you, Clark might still be looking for me,

my brother and I might still be living in fear, Doom wouldn't have fallen so quickly, and I wouldn’t have

found my birth family so soon.”

“If you really want to thank me,” Arabella replied with a smile, “just live a happy and fulfilling life with

Clark. That would be the best thank-you I could ask for. I wish you both all the happiness in the world.”

Carol’s heart warmed. She and Clark were so lucky to have such a caring and capable sister.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at Crystal’s grave site, where a large bouquet of ice-blue roses had

already been placed.

Alger and Celeste had been there earlier, leaving behind an assortment of Crystal’s favorite treats.

Carol bowed down and began to share updates about her and Clark's life, as well as how her aunt and

uncle were doing.

The girl in the photo on the tombstone wore a blooming smile, seemingly listening to Carol’s stories. As

Carol spoke, a wave of emotion hit her, and tears welled up in her eyes. She promised the smiling girl

that she would take good care of her aunt and uncle, and slowly help heal the wounds in their hearts.
