Semua Bab Let Her Wail: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"Celine, why won't you let me wail? The Duke had no children. What's wrong with shedding a few tears for him?"In the car on the way to the funeral, I heard the familiar whining of my husband's adopted sister, Mia Baker, and it hit me. I had been reborn.Mia's eyes were already rimmed with tears. She had not even started her mourning performance, yet she was already acting like I had bullied her.My mother-in-law, Paige Rivers, pulled her into a protective embrace and shot me a dirty look."Everyone at this funeral will be somebody important! What's the harm in crying a little?"What if some rich man notices how sweet and tender-hearted she is and sweeps her off her feet?"With backup on her side, Mia stopped hiding her intentions. She turned to the mirror and touched up her eyeshadow."I've spent a whole month perfecting this look. When I cry today, I'll look absolutely heartbreaking!"Celine's just jealous because I'm young and pretty. She's afraid I'll outshine her in front

After the funeral began, Mia stood before the crowd and started reciting her eulogy.At first, she only sniffled softly. Gradually, it turned into uncontrollable sobbing.Everyone around her stared in bewilderment, but Mia was completely oblivious. She mistook the shock in their eyes for admiration, convinced that her grief had deeply moved them.A gentleman noticed how heartbroken she seemed and offered her his handkerchief as she stepped down.Mia's eyes lit up. She took it as him flirting with her. Her crying instantly grew louder, tears flowing like she had turned on the waterworks.The woman at the gentleman's side let out a scoff and mockingly jabbed her, "You're from overseas, so I suppose you don't understand our customs? This is a solemn funeral. Who exactly are you putting on this crying show for?"Mia was certain the woman was just jealous that a man had shown her attention. She lifted her chin defiantly."You clearly don't feel any grief over the Duke's death. That's

The color drained from Mia and Robert's faces in an instant. Of all the moments to run into Prince Charles, it had to be while they were dragging me out.Robert scrambled forward, his voice unsteady."Your Highness, please don't misunderstand! This woman was causing a scene at the funeral. We were just trying to maintain order!"Prince Charles let out a scornful laugh and pointed toward the door."Do you think we're blind? You're the ones who were wailing and disrupting the funeral!"Maintain order? The ones who should be thrown out are the ones with no manners. That means you!"Robert had not expected to be dressed down so mercilessly by the prince. His face went from pale to flushed and back again.Meanwhile, Mia slumped to the ground, clutching her ankle as tears appeared on cue."Your Highness, look! I twisted my ankle because she pushed me! She bullies me like this and you're still going to take her side?"She was convinced her pitiful act would be enough to soften any ma

Robert finally panicked. He grabbed me and dragged me toward an empty corner.His voice was frantic as he begged."Honey, please put in a good word with Prince Charles for me. Locking you in the car really wasn't done on purpose!“We're husband and wife. That inheritance is marital property! You can't just watch it slip away!"I let out a cold laugh, amazed that this man still had the nerve to ask me for help."So now you remember I'm your wife? What about when you locked me in the car? Did you remember that fact then?"Your mother and your sister put me through hell, and you just stood there and watched!"Robert's face flushed red. His eyes burned with anger."Celine! If you weren't constantly competing with Mia, would I have treated you like that? This is all your own doing! Can't you think about this family for once?"Every time something came up, he blamed me for targeting his adopted sister. I could not hold back my anger any longer."Robert, Mia is the one who starts tr

"Did everyone hear that? His father had no money for treatment because they didn't get the inheritance."As for why they didn't get it? Watch this video!"I played the footage I had recorded at the aristocratic funeral. Mia's hysterical wailing was captured crystal clear on camera."See that? This woman ignored all the rules and insisted on making a scene. She's the one who ruined everything!"People tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. She was dead set on using the funeral to chase after noblemen!"At first, some viewers were skeptical, and opinions were divided, but soon, the tide of public opinion in the livestream completely reversed.Prince Charles's assistant released a statement to the local media. It clearly stated that Robert and Mia had caused a disturbance at the funeral.The person who had originally been first in line to inherit had voluntarily given up that right but later reclaimed it. All because she refused to let the money go to people who had disrespect
