Alle Kapitel von Leaving With a Divorce and a Body Bag: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

Sebastian took the metal box with him back to the funeral home. Amelia's and Charlie's corpses hadn't been cremated yet because the police needed to finalize the identification and related procedures. He stood before the freezer for a long time, unable to bring himself to ask the staff member to open it.He refused to believe that they were dead the day before. However, at that moment, he was too scared to even look at them.The staff member handed two sets of documents to him. "You're their family. You need to decide on their burial methods.""They'll be buried in Boyd Family Cemetery," Sebastian said as he took the offered pen. "We'll pick the best spots for them and use the most expensive stone for their tombstones."He spoke quickly as if he could make amends for everything that happened to Amelia and Charlie while they were still alive as long as he gave them enough compensation in their deaths.However, the staff member didn't accept the documents. "Ms. Hunt made a request w

Maeve released a statement that same day, announcing that she and Sebastian were just regular friends. The scuffle on set happened because Amelia had suddenly barged in and demanded 500,000 dollars from her. She had even tried to raise her hand against Maeve.Maeve's reaction was so intense only because she was gripped by fear. At the very end of the statement, she pinned all the blame on Sebastian."I was always under the impression that Mr. Boyd was already divorced. He told me multiple times that Ms. Hunt was just using her son to get money from him. They stopped having feelings for each other long ago. I gave Ms. Hunt 100,000 dollars because I pitied her. I never wanted to hurt anyone."The surveillance footage from the set was uploaded online not even half an hour after Maeve's statement.In the video, the bodyguards pinned Amelia to the floor. Maeve sneered that she and Charlie were only worth 100,000 dollars as she slapped her. Sebastian appeared near the end of the video. H

Sebastian's lawyer tracked down Julia using the transaction record. Sebastian wanted to return 100,000 dollars to her on Amelia's behalf, but Julia refused to accept the money."I lent the money to Amelia. It has nothing to do with you," Julia said."I'm her husband," Sebastian said."She didn't want you anymore even before she died," Julia retorted ruthlessly.Sebastian placed the check on the table. "At least tell me how her life was for the past few years."Julia stared at him for a long time before asking, "What makes you think that you have the right to ask that?""I want to know.""And what will you do with that knowledge? Can you save her? Or can you make Charlie come back to life?"Sebastian couldn't answer her questions.In the end, Julia unlocked her phone and showed him Amelia's messages that she had saved for the past three years."I want to take Charlie and leave, Julia. I can't take it anymore. He treats me like a maid but treats Charlie like the evidence that I

Sebastian returned to the company and pulled up the family expenditures approval records for the past seven years.Amelia was denied when she wanted to spend 180 dollars on clothes. 760 dollars was refunded for Charlie's imported medicine. Approval was delayed by 11 days when the hospital asked for 3,200 dollars for a follow-up appointment.When Amelia asked for money because Charlie had been hospitalized and needed a caretaker whose services cost 600 dollars a day, Henry rejected her request with a note. "Not necessary."Meanwhile, on the same day, Sebastian had bought a 300,000-dollar bag for his girlfriend at the time. The women by his side were constantly changing. All of them received jewelry, cars, and resources from him. Only Amelia and Charlie had to prove that they needed his money to survive.Henry placed a request record on the table, saying, "Mrs. Boyd submitted this a week before Mr. Charlie's illness acted up."Amelia had asked for 28,000 dollars for a heart examinat

The cemetery was located on a hill that overlooked the sea. Not many people had shown up for the funeral.Sebastian had trailed behind them the entire time. Nobody chased him away, but nobody allowed him to get close.Amelia and William were buried together. Their names were carved on the tombstone."Amelia Hunt. Beloved son, William Hunt."There were no mentions of Amelia's husband or William's father.Sebastian's eyes reddened as he stared at the words, "William Hunt". He had done three paternity tests to force everyone to acknowledge that the Boyd family's blood flowed through William's veins. However, William rejected his last name even in death.Julia placed the family portrait that had been soaked in the ocean in the grave before it was filled."Wait," Sebastian called out, hurrying forward.Everyone turned to look at him as he pulled out the restored family portrait, saying, "Use this one instead."The restorer had fixed the faded sun and ocean. The outline of the three
