Chapter 1839
The memorial tablets of Jason’s father and Old master Reed were set up in the inner hall.
Mrs. Watts’s eyes turned red when she saw the two memorial tablets. She quickly said, “I… I’ll offer some incense!”
With that said, she picked up the unused incense sticks in front of the memorial tablets, lit them up, and offered
them.
Old Lawyer Watts glanced at his wife and followed suit.
“Mrs. Watts, are you okay?” asked Grace when she looked at Mrs. Watts’s red eyes.
“It’s n-nothing. I just think it’s a pity that your father-in-law… died so young,” murmured Mrs. Watts.
“My father-in-law loved my mother-in-law too much. He lost the will to live after losing the person he loved. Maybe
death was a relief for him,” Grace said with a sigh. However, her father-in-law had left his pain to the living to bear.

“He froze to death by the roadside. That’s when Jay came
back to the Reed family holding my father-in-law’s ashes, “said Grace.

Mrs. Watts turned pale and wobbled a little.
Old Lawyer Watts immediately grabbed his wife. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling sick?”
“Yeah, I feel a little sick. I… I want to go back to the hotel and rest,” said Mrs. Watts.
“I’ll ask the driver to take you back to the hotel,” said Grace as the three walked out of the mourning hall.
When Old Lawyer Watts and his wife got back to the hotel, Mrs. Watts could not stop her tears and began crying her
eyes out.
Old Lawyer Watts sighed too. Today was the first time he saw what that man looked like!
He could have inherited the Reed family and stood at the apex of Emerald City’s power and wealth, yet he died in
such
a way.
“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault!” As if unable to contain the pain,
Mrs. Watts finally shouted, “I did Kim wrong. If I hadn’t left at
the time, Kim wouldn’t have died! I killed him!”

Old Lawyer Watts did not know how to comfort his wife and only patted her on the shoulder.
“He froze to death… A man like him ended up freezing to
death. Milo, I never thought he would freeze to death!” sobbed Mrs. Watts.
For years, she had been speculating about the cause of his death but she never expected it to be this!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It was because of me. It was because of me! If I hadn’t abandoned him and Jay, he wouldn’t have made this
choice. I was corrupted with greed. I was ruthless!” Mrs. Watts kept pounding her chest. The delicate makeup on
her face became streaked with tears.
“If he knows how sorry you feel, he’ll forgive you,” said Old Lawyer Watts.
“No, Kim won’t forgive me. He won’t forgive me…” Mrs. Watts said with agony.
She once thought she would never return to Emerald City or set foot in the Reed family’s house again. xo.com
