"Since you don't want to, then delete all those photos you've taken earlier. Don't keep any of them. I'm not in a good mood these days, and I don't want to see myself in the newspaper," said Kingsley, whose intimidating expression didn't change a bit.
There was no threat in his words. But the reporters all knew what he was trying to say.
"Someone gets here!" Luke stood up again with hands clenched into fists.
Taking a step forward, Kingsley got very close to Luke. Tilting his body, Kingsley whispered to him, "I'll play along if you wanna do it. The Bennington family has your back; so does the Wright family have mine."
Clenching his hands into fists, Luke glared at Kingsley very furiously.
"Don't look at me that way. I have said all that I have t o say. Even if you mess things up in the Bennington family today, I'm going in there!"
After saying that, he walked to Sherman. Luke knew Kingsley’s personality well. Kingsley always did what was said.
Since it was Merlin's viewing, Luke didn't want to make it an ugly scene. Then he gritted his teeth and
agreed on them to go in.
Gritting his teeth, Luke thought to himself, 'We have a problem with each other from now on.'
Whether it was for the sake of Zora or Merlin, he definitely would make things difficult for them!
Merlin lay there quietly without the slightest pain. Sherman stood in front of Merlin's casket, her chest rising up and down.
Sherman could not understand the capriciousness of life. When Sherman met Merlin in Santabaca, she was still so beautiful, but now she was forever quiet...
Kingsley was silent too. He did not say a word. He placed the white flowers by Merlin’s side and stared at her intently.
Kingsley's big bony hands fell to his sides, the veins o n his hands bulging.
Kingsley's emotions were deep and steady. Most of the time, his emotion was inscrutable for he seldom showed his true feelings. But now, standing beside Kingsley, Sherman could tell his sadness from the change in his breathing.
