"To be honest, you're my brother's kid, so we are a family. If she hates me, wouldn't she hate you too? She wants you dead! What are you even doing this for?"
"Father." Wayne coldly called out.
The man stiffened.
"I haven't fully recovered. My wife told me not to waste my energy. I don't want to talk about Maddie's inheritance anymore. If you're not satisfied, I can take the evidence of your illegal activities over the years and send you to jail first…"
"Wayne!" The man exclaimed angrily.
The surrounding staff looked over in confusion.
"Fine! Well done! You're ruthless!" The man finished speaking and tried to leave.
But he was stopped by Wayne's bodyguard.
He turned back: "What do you want?"
"You have to come back with me. As her husband, you need to show your deep sorrow at the funeral." Wayne spoke slowly.
"You…"
Wayne ignored him.
On the screen, Maddie's body was being pushed into the cremation furnace.
Wayne stood straight, like a lonely pine tree on a cliff, enduring the cold wind.
After a while.
He looked down and lit up the phone screen.
He longed to go home, to the house he and she shared.
The cremation was over.
The once arrogant and domineering Maddie had been packed into a square box. Wayne didn't touch the urn.
