Only Hazelyn struggled to look at Beatrice in the courtroom.
Beatrice shot her a smile of triumph tinged with arrogance. Hazelyn looked deflated as her face sank. In the end, she was defeated.
As they were escorted away, everyone surged toward Beatrice, but no one spoke; they simply shook her hand in solidarity.
There were still some documents that Beatrice needed to sign at the courthouse, and we remained by her side throughout.
Beatrice left her current assistant from the Keller family to handle the remaining affairs.
Once everyone had left, Beatrice looked at me. In a hoarse voice, she said, "Take everyone back to my place.”
I looked at her, somewhat puzzled. "What about you?"
She glanced at Finn, her eyes pleading. She said, "Finn... accompany me to the cemetery."
"Sure." Finn didn't hesitate, stepping up to her side and offering his support.
Theo quickly added, "We'll all go with you."
Beatrice didn't refuse. She simply scanned her classmates before silently turning and walking away.
We all followed Beatrice as she strode out, but Gabriel blocked our path. His eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at Beatrice, his lips trembling. "Beatrice. I... "
Beatrice stopped in her tracks and looked at him coldly, her tone icy. "What is it?”
"Sorry, Beatrice." Gabriel's voice trembled as he struggled to utter the words.
"I accept your apology. From now on, let's not appear in each other's sight again. Let's keep some dignity for both of us."
Then, she turned and walked away without a moment of hesitation.
At the cemetery, to our surprise, some citizens arrived before us. It was a touching scene.
