Henrick must be joking. Perhaps he's mad and is getting back at me!
Russell had enough of her antics. He was their relative, and he didn't want to see Henrick being humiliated in public. He parted his lips to reveal, “Cindy, Shandie's dead. I know it's hard to take, but it's the truth. My condolences.”
In fact, Russell felt drained.
After getting into trouble, his daughter had kicked up a huge fuss and refused to head to the City Hall to get married. Before leaving home today, he had told the help to tie her up before bringing her there by force. I wonder how she's doing now.
Meanwhile, Cindy still refused to accept the truth. After all, part of the reason she schemed
and worked so hard was to benefit her daughter.
There was simply no way she would accept Shandie's death easily.
“No...” She retreated two steps back and shook her head. “Impossible.”
Henrick lost all patience and announced, “You can see for yourself!”
Women are annoying. She'll know when she sees it for herself!
Cindy swallowed hard and went toward the coffin.
She wanted to make sure Shandie wasn't in the coffin.
Shandie won't die!
Her legs trembled as she made her way to where the coffin was placed slowly.
Her gaze landed on the coffin hastily before she even arrived.
Shandie's dead body was lying inside the coffin surrounded by flowers.
