Rhett continued, "Chad even built an empty house where the original house had burned down to preserve your ashes and honor your memory."
The Killians did purchase the land where Catherine's house had burned down. Although they built a new house, no one lived there.
But whatever they said could merely be a trap to lure them back here. After all, the Killians couldn't be trusted completely.
If they were truly that kind, why was Lucius accused of killing Greg and imprisoned for it? Why did Daphne die in a car accident?
Moreover, how did Bernard end up being poisoned so severely? What about Aurora's medicine being swapped, almost causing her to miscarry?
Hera said nothing, causing the atmosphere in the banquet hall to turn tense. Afraid she would bring up Greg again and spoil Chad's mood, Karen quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Oh, these are all in the past, so we shouldn't bring them up. Since Mrs. Jones and Hera are doing fine now, let's not talk about such gloomy things like ashes."
She then winked at Chad, asking, "Chad, didn't you have something to discuss with Hera?"
Chad cleared his throat. "Hera, I've heard about your true identity. Congratulations on reuniting with your birth parents.
"But you're still family to us after all these years, and you're Aury's benefactor as well. To show our gratitude, I'd like to adopt you and restore your status as a member of the Killian family again. What do you think?
