Ralph managed to conclude his diplomatic mission across Lumia around mid-May and could finally send Rowena and Caleb off.
Caleb's and Rowena's funeral would be held on May 17th.
The sky was overcast on the day of the funeral. The cloudy sky and gray clouds made the atmosphere seem all the more stifling.
There was a private cemetery to the north of the Jacobson residence.
It was the resting place of generations of Jacobsons.
Rows upon rows of neatly arranged tombstones rose from the ground. They were akin to the guardians of time as they bore witness to the deaths of countless lives.
Now, two new tombstones had been added to the cemetery. Names, birth dates, and the day of their deaths were engraved on the tombstones.read sw
Mourners were all dressed in shades of black, their expression solemn as they entered the place where the deceased were laid to rest.
The two graves had been arranged with one above the other, silently representing the difference in their generation.
Bouquets of flowers and funeral wreaths surrounded the tombstones.
As the ceremony began, the pastor spoke in a low and solemn voice, guiding everyone through their prayers.
Heads were lowered in mourning.
Time seemed to slow to a heavy crawl.
Eventually, it was time for the living to bid the deceased a final farewell.
The mourners stepped forward to lay white flowers on the ground.
Samuel and Marianne attended the funeral even though their relationship with the Jacobsons was now strained at best.
They offered their condolences to the last remaining members of the Jacobson family after placing their flowers down.
When the funeral came to a close, a young woman with a white flower pinned to her black dress stepped forward. "Mr. Jacobson Senior, Mrs. Jacobson."
Ralph nodded in greeting.
Sophia responded, "Hello, Marissa."
Marissa Scott only looked toward the austere-looking man standing off to the side after greeting Ralph and Sophia. Her gaze shifted slightly as a hint of tenderness bloomed within them. "Stephen."
Stephen remained dispassionate as ever as he said politely, "Thank you for attending my father and grandmother's funeral."

Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
