After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 2

It had started to drizzle.

The grass was lush and green. It felt soft under one's feet. The drizzle was like fog that hung over the whole mountain and made it look a bit surreal.

The funeral was simple and most attendees were the old Maskelyne's friends and relatives as well as business partners of the Maskelyne family.

The white lilies looked even purer and whiter under the wash of the rain, surrounding the tombstone.

Sylvia got off the car, held a black umbrella, and walked towards the crowd.

Franklin had arrived, wearing a black suit, standing straight with his mouth shut.

It was the first time Sylvia had ever seen something else instead of indifference on his face.

His eyes were red rimmed and he was standing in the front row of the crowd.

She knew that the old Maskelyne raised Franklin up, so he had been very close with the old Maskelyne.

Sylvia walked over and put down the lilies in her hand.

There was melancholy in her eyes. The old Maskelyne had been very kind to her and he had always treated her like she was his granddaughter.

What a pity that she couldn't get a chance to pay him back in this life.

She slowly bent over and took three bows.

Her dress had gotten wet in the rain, but she didn't look embarrassed at all. She was thin and beautiful, like a shade of light in the dark.

Who was this beautiful woman?

What was the relationship between her and the Maskelyne family?

No one but Franklin among the younger generation of the Maskelyne family had taken three bows.

Everyone looked at Sylvia in shock.

Even Franklin was shocked. Sylvia...

He didn't know she had been this close to his grandfather.

Sylvia never liked being around too many people. After that, she was about to leave.

She came and left in a hurry, mysterious.

"Sylvia, stop there!"

Behind her, an angry scream came.

Sylvia stopped and withdrew her sight.

Soon, a tall teenager rushed over and stopped in front of her.

He said in an unfriendly tone, "Sylvia, you should leave the Maskelyne family as soon as you can! You don't have grandpa protecting you now!"

"Is there anything else? I need to go now," Sylvia said calmly.

The teenager in front of her was James Maskelyne, the Maskelyne family's second son, Franklin's half-brother.

Only the old Maskelyne and Franklin's brother and sister knew about her marriage to Franklin.

"Who do you think you are?"

James was pissed. However, he had never defeated Sylvia at quarreling before. No matter what he said, she always didn't seem to care.

She saw him as a child, which pissed him off!

Moreover, she was very good at pretending. She always looked sweet in front of Franklin and their grandfather.

She became a different person without Franklin's presence, but Franklin could never see it.

He couldn't let her deceive his brother anymore!

"You say the same words every time. Can't you say something new?" Sylvia looked up at James.

Then, she got in the car and left.
