View MoreThe police soon arrived at the scene, followed by a group of townsfolk.The townsfolk all had different opinions about what happened. Some claimed that Benjamin's ghost had killed Penny and Terry for revenge after she deliberately blocked him from coming home.Some even claimed that Hunter was the murderer. They believed Hunter was impulsive enough to have done so due to his young age. As the crowd continued to murmur with their own opinions, the police remained silent even after the initial investigation.The same few policemen who had made donations to Benjamin's funeral would be the ones questioning Hunter about the case. "Penny and her boyfriend, Terry, are dead. Did you know about it?"Hunter honestly replied, "I just heard about it from Ms. Stock.""The townsfolk claim that Mr. Sander's ghost is the murderer. I'm sure you're well-educated enough to know that's just bullshit. Anyway, our initial investigation points to the victims being killed."The policemen glanced over at Hunt
Hunter woke up in the middle of the night for a trip to the toilet. The restroom was not located within the same building but instead nestled in a corner of the courtyard, following the layout typical of older homes.The robed man immediately hid himself when he saw Hunter stepping out of the door.Hunter glanced over at the corner but didn't notice anything unusual.The entire courtyard was gloomy, and the surrounding air had an indescribable odor to it. Hunter simply assumed that it was just an illusion created by his mind because of his depressed mood.As he entered the restroom, the robed man took the chance to enter the house.The robed man wore his customary floor-length robe, complete with a hood that could shroud his entire head. He stood extremely still in front of Benjamin's portrait seemingly in deep thought.After a few seconds of silence, the robed man took off his hood.A terrifying mask appeared from within the hood. He then took off the mask to reveal a clean, handsome
The police captain turned to Hunter and asked, "Are you the only surviving member of the Sanders family now?""Yes.""I see. I'm sorry to hear that."A few of the policemen helped Hunter with moving the coffin into the house before making a public announcement to the neighbors. "We're all family here, remember? Benjamin was a great man. It's a pity that he's left us so soon. Hunter's still young, and he's left all alone. Let us all help him with the funeral with whatever we can do."The neighbors leaped into action after the speech.Seniors soon stepped up to help organize the funeral while the youngsters helped with running errands. Some of the policemen even tried to make donations out of their own pockets for the funeral.Hunter declined their donations, but they insisted. "You can always pay us back once you make it big, son. And don't worry about Penny and her boyfriend, Terry, okay? Just call us if you need help. We'll always be around!"Hunter was extremely touched by the
There was a budding market for houses in rural towns. Potential buyers include residents from the same town, many of whom watched their children grow up and form their own families. However, some potential buyers were rich folks from the city seeking to retire at a more peaceful location. As a result, the property market value had significantly increased.Some had even attributed the rise of the value of the Sanders family's old home to Hunter's prestige as a model student.Penny might seem like a silly woman from the outside, but she was quite the marketing genius. She had constantly advertised the Sanders family's old home as a blessed property that would guarantee any family moving in to give birth to a prodigy.Plenty of folks were also convinced enough to offer high prices for the house.The property eventually reached a market value of millions. The most recent increase came from a business owner for the city believing that purchasing it would help turn his son's life around.
The neighbors were all shocked. "What are you doing, Penny?"Penny Topps was visibly upset. "I won't allow the coffin to enter the house! It's going to lower the property's value!"The townsfolk were in disbelief as they scolded her. "This is his home! Hunter can do whatever he wants! Besides, where else do you want him to place the coffin?""Put it somewhere else. I don't care! Just don't bring the coffin inside!" Penny sat down in front of the door like a roadblock.Hunter pursed his lips and stared at her while holding himself back. He never expected Penny, of all people, to still be such a troublesome person after all these years.Hunter clenched his fists and calmly replied, "Please move aside, Ms. Topps."Penny glanced at Hunter for a second before turning away again. "I'm not trying to bully you or anything, Hunter. To be honest, it's because I've already found buyers for this place. The price is already set and all that. They're going to pull out if they ever hear about you pla
Belle approached their car and leaned on the window as if about to ask something. Immediately, she frowned and chided, "What's with the smell of smoke? Have you guys been smoking in the car?"Gabriel hurriedly explained, "Mr. Grayson was smoking…"Ginger replied, "What are you so nervous about? I know you don't smoke."Gabriel averted his gaze to hide the blush on his face as he felt guilty.Grayson threw a glance at Gabriel but decided not to expose him. "I was just bored."Belle was furious. "Gabriel's in the car with you. Can't you at least be a little considerate with him getting second-hand smoke from you?"Gabriel was afraid that Grayson might expose him, so he quickly replied, "I'm fine, Ms. Belle.""You're not! Second-hand smoke is even worse than just smoking a cigarette directly. He's hurting you!"Belle then turned to Grayson and continued, "Never smoke in front of Gabriel again!"Gabriel felt a little guilty about the situation, so he decided to change the topic. "
Gabriel asked, "Are you implying that it was someone else who came to rescue her from the hospital and hid her away?"Grayson confirmed, "Yes.""But who else would be helping her if not her own family? Could it be the Waller family? I've heard they hated Xenia because of what she had done to Monica."Grayson shook his head. "Monica's parents, Margaret and Thomas had both fallen into a coma from shock ever since she died. I don't think anyone from the Waller family would take it up to themselves to enact revenge for Monica.""Then who could it be that broke Xenia out of the hospital?"Grayson remained silent.He'd heard about what happened to Ginger from Belle and how Colette and Xenia were involved. But Belle never managed to find any evidence to prove their guilt.Grayson also realized that Colette and Xenia might have hired someone else to do their bidding while they formulated the plans.At the end of the day, he still couldn't figure out who could benefit from helping Xenia.Grayso
Gabriel closed the door and handed a cup of milkshake to Belle and Ginger each. "Here you go."Ginger accepted the milkshake and asked, "When did you go get milkshakes?""There wasn't much for me to help with, so I went for a walk and came by a café."It was from the café next to the boxing gym. It was also extremely far away from the clinic. But Gabriel knew that the milkshake from that café was Belle's favorite.Belle realized Gabriel's efforts as she accepted the milkshake. She didn't even bother to thank him before taking a huge sip of her favorite drink.It was probably a response better than saying "thank you" to Gabriel."Have you seen Hunter?" asked Ginger."Yeah. He's currently talking to Mr. Grayson about the funeral. I think he seemed okay."Belle and Ginger frowned at the same time. They realized that Hunter was probably just forcefully holding himself up.Sometimes, it would be better to just let it all out and cry to one's heart's content. As a gesture of appr
Belle replied, "I'm fine. How about you?"Ginger responded, "Yeah, I'm fine, too. You should worry about yourself. Where's Hunter?""He's with his father. He wants to bring him home and bury him there. Grayson's currently dealing with the paperwork and stuff.""Mr. Sanders was a great father. It's a pity he left us so soon. Hunter must be having it really hard right now."Belle sighed and turned to Ginger. "We really need to take care of ourselves. Everything else in life is second to our own health."Ginger understood that Belle was also worried about her. She nodded. "Don't worry about me, Belle. I made it out alive, and I became mentally stronger than ever. It'll be nothing but upward from now on for me. I'll cherish my life and my health more than ever."Belle was pleased that Ginger was mentally strong enough to take another stand at life. It was something she had to decide for herself, and nobody could have helped her with her own thoughts.Ginger continued, "I'm just worr
