"My brother, why do you die in such an early age?" William was shocked when he saw Jacob's dead body.
Although his brother always reproached him, he usually helped at last. Now he just lay here still and would never help him again.
"Mother, how did my brother die?" cried William. He held Addy's hand and asked the reason for his brother's death.
"You brother was poisoned by Amy because she was afraid that your brother would compete with him for the position of CEO. Therefore, they poisoned him," said Addy. She was in a low mood now. She had two sons. The younger one was selfish so she couldn't expect him to look after her. She used to wish to rely on the elder one but he died now. She thought she was so miserable because all the people she could rely on were murdered by Amy.
"It's Amy again. Why does she treat us so ruthlessly? We have conceded so much to her. What else does she want?" said William angrily.
"She wants to kill us all so the Carter family is hers. She can do anything she likes and your father's money will all belong to her," said Addy. She ascribed all the mistakes to Amy.
"I'll go to talk to her. I don't believe there isn't justice in this world and she can do anything she likes," said William. As soon as he began to leave, he was prevented by Allison who just came in.
"William, you just come back. Please calm down. I have arranged a house for you. I don't want you to be affected by your brother's death," said Allison. She pulled back William because she couldn't let him to create trouble for her.
"Allison, the wedding is going to start but my brother is dead now. I'm so sorry for that so I want to free you from the bonds of injustice. Why did Amy do such harm to you without punishment?" said William. Then he insisted going to see Amy. But Allison held him tightly.
"William, you should calm down. We should give this matter further thought. Amy is too cunning. If we don't plan it well, she will beat us back," said Allison to William.
"That's right. William, follow Allison's advice. We have no one to rely on except her," said Addy. She didn't say that her younger son was a foolish one because she would rely on him in the future. But the truth was that he was really a fool.
After hearing his mother's words, he gave up the idea of going to see Amy. He looked back at his brother lying in the coffin.
"My brother, I'll take revenge on the murder. No matter what happens, I'll do it and let you die in peace," said William with determination. Only at this moment, he felt the ties of brotherhood.
"William, take one more look at your brother. We decide to cremate him tomorrow. It's better to bury the deceased and bring peace to him early," said Allison to William.
"Aright, I'll follow your order," said William. His brain was in a fuddle now and he didn't know what he was doing now.
Allison was happy to control them. A faint sneer of satisfaction crossed her face. Although they were obedient, they were not very smart so couldn't do much good to her. Luckily, Philip would be released soon. At that time, she had very strong backing.
After cremating Jacob, they buried him beside Halbert. Everyone here was sad about the death of Halbert and his son, including Richard.
However, Amy was involved in this case, which would come to court in a month. Richard was busy finding the evidence to prove Amy was innocent.
