Meanwhile, at the Bluebell Bistro in the Modern Tower, Zoe and Yuna sat inside.
It was rare for the mother and daughter pair to go out for breakfast so early.
Were it not for the death of old Laverne, which required them as relatives to guard the worn-out coffin, they would never wake up this early.
"That old hag! Can't even let us live in peace after she's dead! If it weren't for Freddie's sake, who cares about whether she is alive!”
Yuna's eyes were heavy with sleep, but her bitter words showed no sign of softening due to her tiredness.
She cut her steak with an angry fervor, as if she wished she could thrash Laverne's corpse, the clinking of her knife and fork resonating loudly.
"She's dead, and we're finally off the hook. Laverne deserved it!”
Every time Zoe thought about this, she was overjoyed. The secrets they harbored would never be exposed again. And those days of living on the edge were finally over.
But the more Yuna thought about it, the more scared she became.
These past few days, she had been having nightmares about Laverne. In her dreams, Laverne with bloody hands would come after her for revenge, making her nerves increasingly fragile.
As soon as she thought about this, she couldn't help but shudder all over.
Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, dropped her knife and fork, and said to Zoe, "Mom! I heard from Hammond that Freddie went to the hospital to investigate Laverne's death a few days ago. Will he trace it back to me? I'm scared, I'm really scared…"
Zoe looked at her daughter with disdain, and a touch of disappointment.
Just like her father Ablett, Yuna was a coward!
"What are you scared of? Laverne ate the mango herself, what does that have to do with you?”
Zoe's tone was harsh, scaring Yuna into a shudder.
