He Cheated, I Rose Making Him Regret Everything

Chapter 435 Unmasking the Murderer

It was like seeing a ghost!

“A ghost!” Madilyn shrieked, stumbling backward in panic. Her footing faltered, and she crashed heavily into a serving table behind her.

Feeling the solid obstruction, she let out a sharp, terrified scream. In her blind fright, she shoved against the table with enough force to send it toppling over.

The carefully arranged fruit platters and wine glasses shattered on the floor. An apple rolled across the ground, coming to a stop at Charles‘ feet.

Charles observed the chaotic scene, then lifted his gaze to sweep over the assembled guests.

“To see my own funeral arranged with such… pomp… I simply had to come and witness it for myself.” Charles‘ voice, though raspy, carried its old, unmistakable authority through the hall.

Seated in a wheelchair, being pushed forward slowly by Landon, Charles looked terribly frail. An oxygen cannula was fitted under his nose, and his overall appearance was one of profound weakness.

As the guests‘ initial, primal shock subsided and the reality set in—that Charles was not only alive but physically present–their fear began to morph into other emotions. His dramatic entrance during his own memorial service had been genuinely terrifying. It felt like a scene from a horror film.

Now, seeing his fragile state up close, some worried he might expire on the spot if the oxygen were removed.

That he could still muster such a commanding tone was a testament to the fury burning within him.

“Charles!” Frank exclaimed, rushing forward. He reached out as if to clasp Charles‘ hand but stopped himself halfway.

Frank simply stared, his eyes drinking in the sight of his friend, as if checking again and again to verify that Charles was truly breathing, truly alive.

“To see you like this… I’m overwhelmed. You’re truly here!” Frank’s eyes welled up, and a single tear traced a path down his wrinkled cheek.

Charles watched Frank’s heartfelt reaction, his own hand trembling slightly as he reached out to grasp Frank’s. “Frank… thank you. Thank you for still caring. You’re even shedding tears for

me.”

“Don’t speak like that. I’m just… I’m relieved, do you understand? Profoundly relieved!” Frank replied, his voice thick with emotion as he tightened his grip.

“Look at this turnout–so many people gathered. But out of everyone here, you, my old friend, seem to be the only one genuinely mourning. The rest… They’re either here for the spectacle or have already been dividing my estate in their minds.” Charles let out a cold, derisive snort, his eyes sweeping like shards of ice across the faces in the room.

Under his piercing gaze, no one dared meet his eyes.

The atmosphere was beyond awkward. The man whose body was supposed to be in the casket was not only alive but presiding over the room. And just moments ago, they had been publicly bickering over the distribution of his wealth. Being called out by the man himself was arguably the most humiliating moment of their lives.

No one could face Charles directly–except for Arthur. He stood utterly motionless, stunned into silence.

From the moment Charles appeared, Arthur had been too shocked to process anything. He hadn’t fully registered Charles‘ earlier words, and now, confronted with his grandfather in the flesh, his heart hammered against his ribs. To say he wasn’t shaken would be a lie.

Finally meeting Charles‘ gaze, Arthur managed a hoarse, strained whisper. “Grandfather.”

Charles took one look at Arthur’s dumbfounded expression, snorted dismissively, and pointedly turned his attention away.

Instead, he focused on Madilyn, who was still scrambling on the floor amidst the spilled refreshments. With a slight gesture of his hand, he signaled to Landon, who wheeled him forward until he was directly in front of her.

“Madilyn, when you tried to end my life… did it ever occur to you that I might wake up and hold you accountable?” Charles gripped the arms of his wheelchair, his eyes blazing with a cold, righteous anger. “Attempting to murder me was one thing, but to then brazenly tamper with my will? Madilyn, your greed is bottomless. The sheer scale of the assets you laid claim to… It is audacious.

“Let me ask you–did you truly believe you were capable of managing it all?”

Madilyn flinched violently at Charles‘ roar. She shook her head in desperate, frantic denial. “No! It’s not what you think, Charles! Please, let me explain!”

“You still wish to lie? If lies could resolve everything, we would have no need for courts or justice.” Charles‘ voice rose again, thundering with authority. “You pushed me down the stairs with the intent to kill me. Was that not enough? Then, at the hospital, when I finally regained consciousness… you ripped the oxygen from my face.”
