Sterling and Claudia were going to be happy from now on.

Quinton stared at the photo that had fallen to the floor, then closed his eyes.

The fire had started too close. By the time the second couple was found, their bodies were already charred.

Winnie never managed to make Quinton love her, but in the end, he had chosen to die with her. Maybe, in a tragic way, that was her wish fulfilled.

The house staff had been sent far away, so none of them were hurt.

Sterling watched as the covered body was carried out, his face calm and emotionless.

When he was a boy, trapped in the Bamboo Garden with Isabella, he had dreamed countless times that Quinton would come to save them.

But once he grew old enough to understand, he realized Quinton had already abandoned them.

He hated Quinton’s weakness and his cowardice. He hated his greed too.

When he grew up, he took revenge with the same ruthless precision, making Quinton taste what it felt like to be trapped in a cage.

People called them father and son, but truthfully, they were enemies.

Now that Quinton was dead, all debts were settled. Sterling didn’t waste another moment hating him. He was just a faint mark in his memory now.

Amid the blackened ruins, a pair of warm, delicate hands slipped into his.

He pulled her close, resting his face against her neck, breathing in her scent and her warmth.

“Mr. Sterling, Ms. Cancaster, would you like to hear Mr. Quinton’s will?”

The family lawyer, who had been waiting quietly nearby, finally spoke when they released each other.

Quinton had written his will long ago.

Surprisingly, he didn’t leave his estate to Sterling. Instead, he left everything to Claudia.

But he had one request. If possible, he didn’t want to be buried in the Romeros‘ family cemetery. He only wanted a small place for himself in Westwood Memorial Park.

Claudia refused without hesitation.

He was gone now. There was no reason for Quinton to disturb the peace of the Scotts

anymore.

In the end, all of his assets were used to create a charity fund for orphans and scholarships for major music academies.

Following Sterling’s instructions, Quinton was buried beside Winnie.

Just as Winnie had once said, even after a hundred years, her name would still be carved next to his.

Hopefully, even underground, they would remain entangled.

The day after the engagement party was canceled, Simon piloted his private helicopter into the open sky. After hovering for a long time, he let go and fell into the deep sea.

The police ruled it a suicide caused by depression.

Yvonne was imprisoned for kidnapping and murder.

Everything Simon left behind was given to Tammy.

The next time Claudia saw Tammy was at Simon’s memorial site.

The sea where he had fallen was too deep; his body was never found.
