The next day was a rainy day.

:

At 8 AM sharp, two cars parked at the entrance of South Hill Cemetery.

Alexei got out of the car first, opened a large black umbrella, and then helped Natasha, who was holding flowers, out.

Behind them was Teri, whose face was even paler than the hostas Natasha held.

She silently followed the young couple in front, looking at the long upward steps, each step requiring all her strength.

Unity and her grandparents were interred in the cemetery’s most scenic spot. The three stood before their graves, and Alexei and Natasha stepped forward to pay their respects first.

Natasha placed the flowers before the tombstone and, as usual, chattered to them about Alexei’s recent situation, also complaining that he was too clingy and always interrupted her drawing, and asked them to tell him in a dream to behave better.

Alexei quietly held the umbrella for her, listening to her complaints with a smile.

This warm atmosphere, even on stormy days, felt comforting and endearing, as if they were truly a family gathering and sharing intimate conversations.

Teri’s hand, holding the umbrella, was subtly trembling.

She knew Alexei had relocated Unity’s grave out of the Turner family cemetery, disregarding Dereck’s objections, but she had not inquired where he had moved

her.

Even though Unity was dead, she was still the person Teri least wanted to see in her life.

Natasha finished speaking with Unity’s family of three and finally looked at Teri, who was standing stiffly aside.

Natasha said, “The Westwood family must love you very much, and you must love them too. It’s the same for Unity’s family; her grandparents cherished her dearly.

They just wanted to take their daughter, let her live far from you, and spend her life peacefully and well. But even this simplest wish could not be realized due to your cruelty.”

The deaths of Unity’s grandparents seemed like accidents, but who could say the Westwood family wasn’t involved?

Since Dereck was unwilling to divorce Unity, they wanted their relationship to be completely fractured, making reconciliation impossible even without a separation.

For Teri’s love, many people cleared the path for her.

Teri was ashen–faced, her lips tightly pressed. As the fine rain drifted onto her, she felt her body become even colder.

Natasha said, “I assume you can’t say anything decent, so today, you don’t need to confess or apologize. All you need to do is kowtow a hundred times to each of their graves.”

Teri clenched her hands tightly, her eyes, filled with suppressed emotion, turned to Natasha, but met Alexei’s dark, deep gaze. It was the same calm, piercing, and soul–stirring look she had seen years ago when she tried to abandon him in the mountains to be fed to wolves.

Teri stood rigidly, unable to kneel. ·

Unity took the man she loved most, shattered her deepest pride, and caused the death of her unborn child. Teri had never begged Unity for mercy. How could she bow before her archenemy now?

Natasha seemed to have anticipated this, and her tone was very calm. “You don’t have to kneel, and you can turn around and leave right now. It just depends on what’s more important to you, Chloe or your pride.”

Teri was cornered.

She couldn’t admit she was wrong, nor could she simply leave.

No matter how much she hated Chloe’s betrayal, that was her niece, whom she had watched grow up. She was the only daughter of her beloved elder brother.

Her future was still so long; she couldn’t stay cowering in her room forever.

Family ties once trapped Unity, and now they trapped Teri as well.

Natasha and Alexei had a lot of patience and were not in a hurry to press her.

Alexei felt the warm hand that reached out and intertwined fingers with his, and smiled slightly.

A hundred kowtows could not outweigh the pain Unity had suffered because of Teri, nor could they bring back the lives of Unity’s family of three.

Dereck even had his legs broken, but Teri has indeed lived too well these past years; her retribution has just begun.

Today, they would start by shattering the pride she had worked so hard to maintain.

No one knew how much time passed. Perhaps ten minutes, twenty minutes, or even an hour?

The cemetery was very quiet; besides the sound of wind and rain, almost nothing else could be heard.

As Natasha’s legs were about to go numb, the umbrella in Teri’s hand fell to the ground, and the rain immediately soaked her delicate makeup.

Biting her lip, she slowly and with great difficulty bent her knees.

Bang.

It was the sound of a head heavily hitting the ground.

As Teri kowtowed with red eyes, Natasha looked at Unity’s gently smiling face on the tombstone,

Apologies were the most worthless thing. If it weren’t for Dereck and Teri, Unity should have had a beautiful and happy life.

Unfortunately, the past could not be changed.

However, from now on, she would also take good care of the person Unity

And what they had endured, Alexei would help them reclaim, piece by piece.

*****

With Natasha and Alexei supervising, Teri bowed her head genuinely every time.

After kowtowing to Unity, her forehead was already bleeding, the blood mixing with rainwater and blurring her eyes.

Through the hazy mist, she felt she had returned to the day when Dereck, the man she had secretly loved for years, held the hand of a shy, blushing Unity, standing proudly before her to boast about finding his true love.

Regret it?

Yes, probably.

Perhaps, from the very first time she stubbornly claimed she had no regrets, she had already realized that after so much entanglement, she had been utterly defeated.

Teri, pampered since childhood, was caught in the rain and knelt, kowtowing. She lost all dignity in front of her rival’s son. When she finally stood, her legs trembled, her face was covered in blood, and she was on the verge of collapsing.

Under their gaze, she stumbled out of the cemetery with great difficulty.

Enduring the pain of humiliation, she brought the good news that Alexei had agreed to have Dylan treat Chloe, and arrived at the Westwood estate.

However, as soon as she exited the car, she saw blaring police cars and rows of serious–faced police officers emerging from the Westwood estate, clutching search documents.

At the end of the procession was her elder brother, Isaac, in handcuffs,

Teri felt a crushing blow.

She stumbled as she tried to follow, but was stopped by the police.
