How dare Seamus bring the flowers with him like that!

+25 BONUS

The other guests had had their flowers delivered earlier, so a professional could arrange them with the others, yet Seamus had brought his flowers along with him.

He walked up to Evie’s portrait and bowed his head in respect, but to Kate, his gesture lacked any sincerity. She believed that he was there to provoke! If not for him, Evie wouldn’t have ended up like

this!

Yet, Seamus was representing the entire Ravelle family in paying respects. Kate couldn’t drive him

away.

Sawyer watched this from the crowd. His secretary whispered, “It’s said that before Mrs. Pearson’s death, she had a confrontation with this person named Seamus Whitfield. The public apology was

made about 20 minutes before her death.”

Sawyer lowered his gaze and turned to leave. “We’ll talk to Mr. Pearson later.”

Evie’s funeral, though rushed, was grand. Almost every prominent figure in Draventh’s elite circle came to pay their respects. They spoke in small groups, carefully avoiding any mention of why no one from the Ravelle family showed up in person.

The feud between the Ravelle and Pearson families was growing worse, and no one wanted to get involved. So, they pretended to be oblivious.

Kate’s friends offered brief words of comfort before leaving. Watching them go, Kate’s eyes held no disappointment, only iciness.

Evie’s death dominated Draventh’s news cycle. The public apology video spread like wildfire online,

while her suicide became fodder for gossip.

However, the talk focused on her misfortune for raising a troublemaking daughter like Kate. She had ruined the Pearson family’s good name, and it was considered a tragedy for the family.

After the funeral, Kate returned home, feeling weak and looking pale. She sat down, no longer able to hold back her tears. From that day onward, she had no mother. No one would protect her and care

for her with such tenderness.

“How do you have the audacity to cry?” Connor asked, his voice hoarse. His eyes were bloodshot with exhaustion. “If you hadn’t caused all this trouble, your mother could’ve had more time to rest and recuperate in peace. Yet, you refused to learn! Will you stop now that your mother’s life has been taken?”

He glared at Kate. He had once taken pride in her, yet she was the one who had destroyed the Pearson

family. He couldn’t even bear to look at her anymore.

“I’m moving away, back to our hometown,” Connor said. “Stay here if you want, but from now on, don’t come to me with your problems.”

He no longer had the energy to chase after status and power in this circle.
