Ethan’s father gave the order.The next day, the cremation ceremony was held for Ethan.Catherine saw him for the last time. It was very startling, but she was not petrified. She felt nothing but grief. The one whom she had been calling ‘Brother Ethan’ since she was young had left just like that.Why was a human’s life so fragile?After Ethan was cremated, Catherine did not go to the office for three consecutive days. She was like a tortoise that was hiding in her shell, not going anywhere.On the fourth day, she suddenly received a strange call. “Is this Aunty Cath? I’m Tracy.”“Miss Steele…” Catherine was at a loss. She thought Tracy was going to cause her trouble.“I’d like to meet you. Please don’t tell anyone about it,” Tracy said under her breath.Stunned, Catherine became instinctively alert. However, as soon as she heard Tracy mentioning that they would meet downtown, she banished her doubts.Soon, she drove to the cafe and entered the private room.Tracy was sitting

As soon as Tracy finished speaking, she wore her cap and sunglasses. She seemingly transformed into a different person.“Tracy.” Catherine leaped to her feet with clenched fists. “I’ll investigate the matter. If Ethan’s death was an intentional act, I’ll certainly not let the killer off the hook.”“Thank you. I hope you’ll fulfill Ethan’s last words and not let him down.” Tracy turned around and smiled sadly before she walked away.Catherine sat in the private room for a long time.The weather was warm, yet she felt chilly to the core.Tracy’s presumption actually made sense. What if Ethan’s death was not an accident?Ethan left Wesley’s office to look for her.Why had he been looking for her?Why did he not struggle to escape or ask for help after the crash? Instead, he planned to send her a message to warn her. This indicated that the contents of the message must be of crucial importance. However, the car began to catch fire before he could send it.He tried his best to toss

“Mommy…”Suzie first spotted Catherine. She ran to her and hugged her happily. “Mommy, look, these are the new cars Granny bought for us. I’m having a competition with Lucas.”“You’re playing well.” Catherine stroked her hair and gazed at Lucas.She was worried about Lucas. During this period, he would stay at Joel’s place sometimes and the Hill household at other times. “Lucas, how’s your stay in the Hill family’s house?” Catherine asked Lucas in front of Shaun.Shaun looked at his son nervously. These few days, everyone in the Hill family had been going all out to please this little one.“... It’s fine,” Lucas looked up and answered her.Catherine was a little surprised. Given Lucas’ reserved disposition, his reply meant that he got along well with the Hill family.“That’s great.” She sighed in relief. Now that she was at ease, she could focus her attention on the investigation on the cause of Ethan’s death.“Stop playing. Come in and have some barbecue. Let’s finish our fo

Only when Suzie was tired of playing did Catherine carry her out of the pool. She helped Suzie wipe her body and wrapped a towel around her from behind.She turned around, only to meet Shaun’s deep-set eyes.“Come on. Close your eyes.”He lowered his head and wiped the water off Catherine’s neck and body. This intimate gesture made Catherine feel so awkward that she tilted away. “You don’t have to wipe anymore. I’m going to take a shower later.”“Okay. Bring this towel with you. It’s cold at night. Don’t catch a cold.”Shaun nodded gently and watched Catherine leave with Suzie. Then, he turned around and met Lucas’ distracted gaze.“Are you trying to make peace with Mommy?” Lucas’ lips twitched. “Forget it. I admit that you’re quite capable, but Mommy has already married Uncle Wesley. I won’t take your side.”“Lucas, let me teach you something,” Shaun said seriously, “One must not give up easily.”Lucas rolled his eyes. “Not giving up easily and pestering someone relentlessly

Deep down, Catherine knew full well that the Mead family only invited her simply because of her relationship with Freya.At the thought of Freya, she believed that Freya would probably be here as well.Immediately after the thought flashed across her mind, she saw Freya and Heidi walking in together. Behind them was an elegant young man who was probably in his early 20s. He had clear skin and a striking appearance.Catherine vaguely remembered that this person was Nathan’s only son, Ryan Snow. She had seen him from afar in the previous banquet but never talked to him. “Cathy…” The moment Freya saw Catherine, she immediately went to her enthusiastically. “Why didn’t you tell me that you’d be here?”“I had a lot of stuff to handle, so I forgot to inform you.” Catherine nodded at Heidi politely and shook hands with Ryan after that.“Hi, Madam Snow, Young Master Snow.” Similarly, Wesley shook hands with Heidi and Ryan with a smile. “Young Master Snow, your reputation precedes you. I
