“Mrs. Myers! We’ve returned.” Kevin’s voice called out.

Hearing this, Madilyn grew even more emboldened. “You see? The notarized will is right here. If any of you have a problem, you can examine the documents yourselves. Go ahead, read what’s written.

“Kevin was personally at Charles‘ side when this happened. He documented the will himself. So, Chloe, you have your witnesses, but I have mine as well,” Madilyn declared, her gaze shifting pointedly to Kevin.

Taking his cue, Kevin looked at Chloe and the others, adopting a grave expression. “I was indeed present when Charles articulated his final wishes. I recorded his exact words myself.”

Chloe stared directly at Kevin and asked simply, “Kevin, can you truly say that with a clear conscience? Did Charles treat you poorly? How could you participate in something like this?”

Joel stood silently beside Kevin. As Chloe spoke, he watched Kevin, waiting for his response.

Kevin hesitated. He lowered his head for a few seconds of silent contemplation. When he looked up again, a hardened resolve had settled in his eyes.

“I swear on my professional integrity as an attorney that every clause I recorded came directly from Charles‘ own mouth.” As he spoke, Kevin raised the folder in his hand. “These documents were officially notarized twenty minutes ago. They are now fully legally binding. The will is officially valid.”

“Did you all hear that? The will is now in effect. According to its terms, Chloe, you need to leave immediately. Otherwise, I will call the authorities and have you charged with trespassing, disturbing a funeral, and intentional harassment.” Madilyn listed the potential charges, her voice ringing with triumph.

Chloe merely began to laugh. The sound was light, almost airy, yet it cut through the room, leaving everyone even more bewildered. How could she be laughing at a time like this?

“Kevin, please call the police for me. This service has been delayed long enough. As the acting head of this family, if I fail to take action now, it will appear I am neglecting my duties,” Madilyn ordered sharply.

Kevin acknowledged her and promptly pulled out his phone, ready to dial.

“So what if the will is notarized? A forgery remains a forgery. It can never become truth,” Chloe said softly. Her voice was quiet, yet it carried a strange, compelling weight. Kevin’s hand, poised over his phone, instinctively stilled.

“Madilyn, your little fantasy ends here. What follows will be the beginning of your nightmare,” Chloe continued, her tone unnervingly calm.

“Chloe, shut your mouth! I am sick of the sight of you. You little social climber, with all your men so eager to throw themselves at your feet. You have talent, I’ll give you that. But trying to challenge me? You’re still out of your depth,” Madilyn spat. “The Myers family is under my control now. You have no say here.”

“You will come to regret this,” Chloe replied, her smile not wavering. An aura of formidable confidence seemed to radiate from her.

“Regret? I, Madilyn, do not know the meaning of the word,” Madilyn retorted, her smugness swelling. “Today, unless you can make Charles himself stand before me and declare this notarized will a fake, this is all a waste of time. The will is notarized. It is incontestable.”

“Madilyn… tell me… am I qualified to say it?”

Suddenly, an authoritative, familiar voice cut through the air.

Hearing that voice, Madilyn froze. It sounded… exactly like Charles.

She must be so stressed from Chloe’s provocations that her nerves were frayed, making her hear things. Hearing Charles‘ voice at his own funeral?

It had to be an auditory hallucination. A trick of an overwrought mind.

“My God! Charles!”

“How can it be Charles…?”

Gasps erupted from the crowd, followed by cries of shock from both men and women. More than anything, there were sounds of utter, disbelieving astonishment.

A wave of commotion swept through the gathering. Madilyn wanted to scream at everyone to stop this nonsense, to focus on removing the source of this endless disruption.

“You foolish people…” Madilyn looked up. When her eyes clearly registered the figure who had appeared, her entire body locked rigid with shock.

Madilyn was stupefied. She completely forgot what she had been about to say next. The words died in her throat.

Charles… was making an appearance at his own funeral. Was she seeing a ghost?
