The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 430

Those cold words froze Claire in her tracks.

"Adrian... what... what are you talking about?"

Adrian cast a frosty glance over her.

"Grandma is gone."

Claire stared at him blankly for a long moment.

"Gone where? Back to her villa? Why would she leave now? I haven't even gotten out yet! Is she just going to abandon me?"

"Claire..."

Adrian's eyes were utterly devoid of warmth. "Grandma is dead. And it's because of... you!"

It was as if someone had sucked the soul right out of Claire.

"That's impossible! Grandma's health was perfectly fine, how could she be dead!"

Adrian glanced at Todd.

Todd immediately stepped in.

"Ms. Lowell, the elder Mrs. Lowell has indeed passed away. Her funeral was held a few days ago."

Claire abruptly burst into tears.

"No! How is that possible! I don't believe it!"

Todd: "Anyone who has watched the news recently knows. The headlines about her passing have been everywhere for days."

Claire's mind was a chaotic whirlwind.

"Adrian... how... how did Grandma die?"

Adrian's gaze darkened.

"The stress and outrage over what you did triggered a massive heart attack. So, you killed her!"

Claire sat paralyzed for a few seconds before she completely lost it.

"No! You're lying to me! No! Impossible! I didn't kill Grandma."

The guards quickly intervened as she became hysterical.

"Claire Lowell, sit down and calm yourself immediately, or we will terminate this visit."

Claire forced herself back into the chair.

"Adrian! You're just playing a sick joke on me, right? Because I messed up so badly this time, you're just trying to scare me straight, right?"

Adrian stared at her coldly.

"I don't make jokes about things like this."

Claire looked at Todd, her eyes begging for denial.

She desperately wanted him to tell her it wasn't true.

Todd looked at those pleading eyes and felt a twinge of pity.

"My condolences, Ms. Lowell."

The last flicker of hope in Claire's eyes slowly died out.

How could this happen...

How...
