When there were only Ryan, Ruth, and Sawyer left in the mourning hall, Ruth asked, "Did you tell the people in the funeral house that we want everything to be simple? How simple do you want it to be?"
Ryan could hear a little dissatisfaction in her tone. "Ruth, look at the families outside. Which of them didn't die under the orders of Sawyer? Do you think we should make it grand?"
Ruth, "But..."
Ryan said in a tired voice, "We'll be known sooner or later since we have sent Sawyer to this funeral hall. If we hold a low-key funeral now, it'll attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, let alone a high- profile funeral."
"At that time, not to mention the people outside, even any citizen in Northville will rush in and spit and curse at Sawyer's body. Do you think Sawyer will be in peace?"
Ruth shook her head hard.
"The only way now is to hold the funeral as soon as possible and let Sawyer's ashes enter the cemetery of the Home of Quartley as soon as possible. This will greatly reduce the possibility of causing trouble. Do you understand?"
Ruth closed her eyes and nodded slowly.
Noticing that her face was as pale as paper and her body was trembling, Ryan couldn't bear it and said, "Ruth, I'm sorry. I spoke too bluntly along the way and didn't care about your feelings. If you, if you want to blame me, then blame me. Don't keep your emotions in your heart."
Hearing what he said, Ruth finally couldn't help covering her face with her hands and crying.
Ryan leaned closer and held her in his arms. "Just cry. You'll be fine after you cry."
Ruth bit her lip tightly. She wanted to confess to Ryan that she had let their son down! If she hadn't insisted on letting Amelia go, Sawyer would have had a trump card at least and he wouldn't have had to die!
She could only blame herself. She trusted the Hopper family's promise too much. Who would have thought that the upright Owen would lie to her?
Besides, she had already pushed Amelia out of the car at that time. However, Patrick told her later that it was just for her to atone for Sawyer's crime. It was not a contribution...
Ha, she was, after all, an elder they knew. But in this matter, they didn't have the slightest bit of humanity and killed Sawyer in front of her!
However, even if she said those words to Ryan, it would be useless because Amelia was his daughter. How could he want his daughter to be a hostage?

At the same time, the news of Sawyer's death was heard by Safa, and she was knocked out on the spot.
However, no one cared about her at this time. Sawyer's men who did not join the operation tonight all looked gloomy, like homeless dogs.
Finally, someone asked, "Mr. Quartley is dead. Do you think we should take revenge for him or just leave?"
"Take revenge? Mr. Quartley is dead, and many of his men have died. If we want to take revenge, I'm afraid that we will die without a trace!"
"If you were afraid of death, you shouldn't have begged Mr. Quartley and joined us!"
"Humph, if I were afraid of death, I wouldn't stay in Northville and work for Mr. Quartley! Before he took action, I told him to forget his hatred for Patrick and lead everyone to find a place to start over again.
But he insisted on staying and fighting with Patrick until he died! In other words, many of his men didn't have to die tonight, but because of Mr. Quartley's stubborn behavior, they were buried in Northville forever!
Those who stayed were all more loyal to Sawyer.
These people looked at each other and came to a conclusion. "It's impossible for us to take revenge on Patrick."
"That's not necessarily true." It was a woman who spoke.
"Stella, we all know that you know how to disguise, but this move is useless against Patrick."
"Who says it's useless!" Stella shouted, unconvinced.
"If it's useful, you should have killed Patrick on the day of the wedding."
Stella's pretty face was livid. "That was an accident! If I had another chance, I would have killed him!"
"Well, well, well, even if it was an accident last time, this time, before Mr. Quartley went out, you disguised his face, but he is still dead. Do you have anything to say about that?"
"I..." Stella's eyes were red. It could be seen that she had cried. "I don't know! But it must be an accident!”
Someone laughed at her. "The first time was an accident, and the second time was also an accident. Please let it go."
Stella said angrily, "Are you still in the mood to make a joke?”
At this time, an older man said, "Well, don't talk about it. The whole city will be on guard tonight. Stay here and don't go anywhere!" Hearing this, everyone quieted down.
