Beatrice seemed exhausted. She knelt before the grave and said to everyone, "I want to be alone for a while."
I quickly reminded her, "Beatrice, we still need to go to the ancestral home!"
Beatrice softly replied, "I know."
Everyone had no choice but to give her some space.
Lauren, Finn, and I were standing not far away, waiting for her. The others went down the hill and stayed below.
Half an hourter, I saw Beatrice struggling to get up. Finn hurried over to support her.
Beatrice seemed even more determined. After descending the hill, she said to Sean, "I want to go to the Keller family''s ancestral home."
"Okay. It has been arranged there," Sean replied.
"Thank you!"
After saying that, Beatrice got into the car. She didn''t grab my hand again this time. I knew she feared that her hands, which touched the ashes, would disgust me. I reached out and held her hand. She struggled a bit and looked at me. "We are sisters! I won''t be disgusted!" I stopped her from saying what she wanted to say.
"Chloe!" Beatrice looked at me with her teary eyes.
We reached the ancestral home. Beatrice got out of the car, silently examining the magnificent mansion. Then, she sneered and took firm steps inside, followed by inclothes police officers. At the entrance, the Keller family''s servants blocked Beatrice. They looked at her confused and said, "Sorry, this is a private residence. Unauthorized entry is not allowed."Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Beatrice''s cold gaze waspelling as she looked at the two servants. "Unauthorized entry? You''re right. This is my private residence, and there is only one master here-me! Get out of the way!" The two servants were intimidated by Beatrice''s momentum and stood there, looking at each other in panic. Before they could react, Beatrice pushed one aside and walked inside with significant steps. The two servants btedly ran inside after realizing the situation was not good, but Sean and others stopped them.
Beatrice looked back at Sean at the entrance and whispered, "Give me some time!"
Sean nodded cooperatively.
Then Beatrice nced at me. "Come in with me!"
With Lauren and me on her left and right, we followed Beatrice inside. Behind us were Alvin and Finn.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and I saw several guests still sitting in the living room.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Gabriel and a middle-aged couple. I spected that they must be Gabriel''s parents and came here for some discussion.
I nced at Beatrice and saw her eyes fixed on the suddenly standing Jocelyn.
Nine years apart, meeting enemies made the atmosphere extra tense. I saw that Beatrice''s eyes gradually turned icy.
Jocelyn''s expression was
exaggerated. Her eyes widened, and
her lipsticked mouth was half open. Her eyes seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying.
The next moment, she roared at Beatrice, "...How did you get in? Get out! You lunatic!"
Beatrice, as if not hearing her words, walked toward her.
Jocelyn''s eyes suddenly shifted andnded on me. She went crazy, rushing towards us like a gust of wind. She yelled, "... It''s you? It''s actually you? So, you incited his madwoman-"
Before she could finish saying the word ''madwoman,'' she was pped by Beatrice without any warning.
This p''s strength, speed, and brutality were known only to Jocelyn herself. She screamed, stumbling to the side and sitting on the smooth marble floor.
Perhaps she fell too hard. She tilted backward, supporting herself with the other hand to maintain bnce. Then, she covered her face and looked terrified at Beatrice
A trail of bright red blood flowed down from the corner of her mouth. "How dare you hit me?"
Beatrice didn''t say a word, ncing at the stunned couple who had stood up from the sofa.
However, she didn''t even lift her eyes or look at thepletely shocked Gabriel, who stood there stupefied after standing up from the sofa.
