“I’d rather not have a daughter like her!” Jeffery pointed at her and scolded, “I should’ve known that I shouldn’t have brought you back in the first place. If not for you, would I have fallen out with Cate? If you hadn’t encouraged me, would I have killed my mother with my own hands? If it weren’t for you, even if Cate had entered Hudson, she would listen to me and let me be the chairman.”

Rosabella turned pale, and her body trembled as she was scolded.

Sally could not listen to him anymore. She hugged Rosabella tightly and yelled, “That’s enough! It’s clearly Cate who forced us to this point, but you’re still blaming and hitting Rosabella. You only know how to take your anger out on your family.”

“You still have the nerve to say that? The good daughter you brought up yourself has no sense of propriety or shame. What I regret most is that I married you and gave birth to her!”

“Fine, since you regret it, we’ll leave!”

Sally cried and grabbed Rosabella’s hand before walking out.

Before long, the whole villa became empty and eerie.

Jeffery shivered when the cold wind blew in. For the first time, a sense of regret rose in his heart.

It had clearly been a good home. How did it shatter in just three months?

The next day, Jeffery received a call that he had been expelled from the board of directors in Hudson.

He rushed to the company in a fit of anger, but the security guard at the door would not let him in at all and kicked him out.

With nowhere else to go, Jeffery got drunk at the bar and only went back at midnight.

On this night, he drunkenly pushed open the villa door. There were no lights inside, and the cold moonlight seeped in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

There was a wheelchair in the middle of the living room, and on it sat an elderly woman with a hunched back and scattered hair. The figure looked particularly horrifying.

Jeffery was so scared that his legs went weak. He turned and tried to run.

However, the door slammed shut behind him, and the living room became darker.

“Mom…” Jeffery kneeled on the ground in fright, shaking like a leaf.

“Son, why are you so scared of me?”

The wheelchair slowly slid forward, and the old woman’s voice sounded.

Jeffery crawled back in horror. “Mom, Mom, don’t come over. Please, it wasn’t me who harmed you. You got the wrong person.”

“It wasn’t you who harmed me?” The old woman’s eerie laughter echoed in the living room. “You did it for the shares and for money. But why did you harm me? Didn’t I take care of you since you were young? The afterworld doesn’t want to accept me, so I can only come back to find you. Son…”

The wheelchair was getting closer and closer. Jeffery kneeled on the ground and bowed hard, tears and snot running down his face. “Mom, I was wrong. I was wrong. I became obsessed, but I didn’t want to hurt you. It was Sally. Sally was the one who smothered you with the pillow. Go to her instead.

“If you didn’t agree, would she have killed me?” The old woman laughed and cried at the same time.

“Mom, I’m sorry.” Jeffery burst into tears, feeling at a loss. “I was encouraged by that mother-and-daughter duo. I didn’t want to do it. Mom, I’m sorry. Please let me go.”

“Since you know you’re in the wrong, I’ll take you away now.”

The old woman’s hand grabbed him, but Jeffery was too scared to move. A wet spot seeped from his crotch as he peed himself.

The lights suddenly came on.

Several police officers came out of the kitchen, and the old woman in the wheelchair took off her wig before standing up.

Jeffery was stunned and shuddered. “Aunty Wendy…”

“Mr. Cox, someone reported that you’re suspected of murdering Old Madam Cox. The police are now officially arresting you.” The officer took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed him.

“No, no…” Jeffery made a strong effort to hide. “I drank too much. I was just talking nonsense.”

“Uncle, I’ve recorded every word you said.” Cate walked out with a phone. Her face was full of grief. “You were grandma’s only son. She was so good to you and painstakingly raised you, but in the end, you conspired with others to kill her. Do you still remember how she died? Don’t you ever get nightmares? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

“Don’t say anymore…”

Jeffery had already drunk a lot of alcohol. Coupled with how he had just suffered a fright, his mind was about to collapse.

Cate said coldly, “I’ve already collected a lot of evidence. If you don’t want to die in jail, you’d better give an honest account. Otherwise, Sally Lennon will definitely try to escape charges in court later.”

Jeffery did not believe her. “What evidence did you collect?”

“Grandma was treated in the hospital, and the hospital has her medical records. The doctor said that although Grandma was paralyzed at that time, it was impossible for her to have died so suddenly. There’s also Aunty Helen who you later hired to take care of Grandma. She’s willing to appear in court now…”

Jeffery turned pale. He knew that he was in trouble.

If he did not testify now, then he might really end up in jail when Sally pushed the responsibility to him. “Okay, I’ll confess. It was Sally Lennon. She took advantage of when your grandmother was sleeping and… suffocated her to death.”

Perhaps it was the last trace of his conscience, but Jeffery finally fell to the ground and cried.

Cate and Aunty Wendy also cried. They did not expect Old Madam Cox’ end to be so miserable.

Aunty Wendy asked, “One last question. That day the old madam fell from the stairs, was it Rosabella who did it?”

“I really don’t know about that.” Jeffery shook his head, but thinking about Rosabella’s personality, he felt that she might have really done it. However, he only had one daughter and did not want her to go to jail.

In the end, Jeffery was taken away by the police for questioning.

Cate looked at the dark villa behind her.

This was once her home, but now it was a place she no longer wanted to set foot in.

She took out the keys and threw them on the grass before turning around and walking out the door.

A limousine was parked at the entrance.

Shaun’s handsome and upright body leaned against the car. It was snowing a little tonight, and snowflakes covered his head and shoulders. He looked at her, his deep and clear eyes like the only starlight in the sky.

At that moment, Cate, who had no home, seemed to have found a home. She jumped into his arms, and Shaun unfolded his coat to wrap her inside it.

“Shaunny, I finally got my revenge.” Cate choked in his arms. “But I’m not happy at all. I regret that I didn’t spend more time with Grandma before. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have died so miserably.”

The woman’s tears wet the shirt on his chest.

Shaun did not know how to comfort others. He waited for her to finish crying and patted her head. “You did well tonight. There was no evidence at all yet you managed to get a confession.”

“I took a gamble. I gambled on his humanity. I gambled on what’s left of Jeffery’s guilt and conscience. I gambled that he would be selfish enough to tattle on Sally Lennon.”

Cate’s voice was hoarse. “I had already guessed that Jeffery wouldn’t have done it himself. In order to reduce his sentence, he would definitely say that it was Rosabella or Sally who did it. I really didn’t expect Sally to be so ruthless.”

“Sally Lennon is sure to go to jail. Let’s go, it’s late.”

Shaun opened the car door.

Cate suddenly grabbed his sleeve. Her large black eyes looked into his as she said, “Shaunny, I only have you now. Are you going to leave me too?”

“I won’t.” Shaun bent down and kissed her on the forehead, speaking gently.

Cate closed her eyes. At this moment, she thought that she would never leave him in her life.

It was only later that she realized they were still young, and there were some things that would change.

…

3:00 a.m.

Sally and Rosabella were sleeping soundly.

The doorbell suddenly rang.

“Who is it?” Sally opened the door in annoyance. She thought that it was Jeffery who had come over to cause trouble.

However, as soon as the door was opened, a group of police barged in and handcuffed her. “Ms. Sally Lennon, you’re suspected of murdering Old Madam Cox. You’re under arrest.”

“What?” Sally was stunned and hurriedly ducked back. “I didn’t do it.”

“Your husband has already given a full account at the station. It was you who suffocated your mother-in-law with your own hands.” The policeman’s eyes were full of disdain. This woman even killed her own mother-in-law. This kind of person was utterly immoral.

The police did not give her a chance and dragged her out.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Rosabella came down from upstairs and rushed to grab her, but the police would not let her close.
