Johny looked into the room. Ceres came out at the very moment.
"I don't think it's necessary."
Ceres was still gripped by sorrow. She didn't feel like doing a paternity test.
Roy knew what was on Ceres's mind. Her mother had just passed away. It wasn't the best time to ask her to take a paternity test.
"Carly, I know you are sad, but you have to do the test. You have already lost your mother, but you can at least find your father. I will be back in two days," Roy said.
Having noticed Johny's hostility, Roy did not want to stay any longer. He left before Ceres said anything.
Ceres did not want to stay here any longer, so she returned to Country A.
The first thing she did after returning to Country A was bury Mike and Sally.
They died a glorious death, so their funeral was plain. They were buried in the family cemetery according to custom.
The vibe in the cemetery was solemn. The weather was cloudy. Such bad weather made people even more distressed.
The cemetery was so silent that the only sound one could hear was Jamie crying.
Jamie bawled, as she had lost both parents. She was now an orphan.
Johny stood by her side and stared at Jamie coldly. Ceres walked toward her.
"Don't feel ashamed of crying. After all, they died for you."
Jamie looked up and glared at Ceres in hatred. "I'm not as cold-blooded and heartless as you. You don't even shed a tear even if your mom died!"
Ceres sneered, not refuting Jamie.
"I'm envious of you. You have such good parents, who would give up their lives for you. Your mother, in particular, is so protective of you. Even if you did something wrong, she would still protect you. She still cared about you even if you committed a heinous crime."
Ceres was staring at Jamie calmly. When she was little, she was jealous of Jamie. But that feeling disappeared now.
Ceres couldn't force Sally to love her, and people had different fates. There was no need to envy others because others might be jealous of her.
What she should do was cherish the present.
"It's you who killed them."
Jamie retorted, "It's you! It's your fault! It's all your fault! Bitch, I'll kill you!"
Jamie picked up a stone, trying to hit Ceres. But before she could get up, a bodyguard slapped her and the stone fell to the ground.
Now that Jamie was subdued, she could no longer cause any trouble.
"Why can't you accept reality, Mary? You refused to marry Johny, so I married him instead. But when Johny woke up, you wanted to take him back. It's you who should be blamed. If it hadn't been for you, the Morris family wouldn't have gone bankrupt, and your father wouldn't have died.
"You had many opportunities to turn over a new leaf. It's a pity that you were too ambitious. You killed your mother and your father! Even now, you haven't realized that! You are so stupid!
Ceres didn't bother to argue with Jamie. She sighed and turned to Johny. "I'll leave it to you."
After that, she walked toward the other side of the graveyard.
She knew that Johny would deal with Jamie.
No matter what choice he made, he had her support.
Jamie stared at Ceres's back in horror. Now, she had nothing left. Both of her parents were dead. She was an orphan.
