"Jacqueline," Cornel rubbed his eyes, almost thought he had misread the expression on her face, but fixed his eyes and looked again, there was nothing wrong at all, but more than a little grim.
Jacqueline reprimanded lowly, with hate in her eyes, "Don't call me that! You didn't even take care of my daughter, who are you to call me!"
The guilt in Cornel's heart surged up again, not daring to look at her.
Jacqueline dropped her eyes and laughed low, "Cornel, do you know why Yolanda jumped to her death at the Brown Group?"
"Why?"
"Because she hates you all!" Jacqueline shouted hoarsely, her eyes glaring, "She hates you all to death! But she can't do it! The only way to die is to die herself, and it was you, you guys, who forced her to die!"
"Jacqueline, just calm down." Cornel tried to hold her down, but by now Jacqueline was too far gone to listen to anything.
She laughed harshly and shook off his outstretched hand, "How do you expect me to be calm! My daughter is gone, my life's dependence is gone ...... everything is gone, gone!"
She has thought about it all her life, all her hopes and expectations are put on Yolanda's body ......
"Jacqueline ......"
"Don't touch me!" Looking at his hand that was about to reach out again, Jacqueline twisted her head and glared at him, her eyes burning her hand as if it was carrying fire.
Cornel stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to move, let alone what to say.
Jacqueline fought for his weakness at this moment, his eyes were scarlet, "You say I say murderer, but the real murderer is you! You forced my Yolanda to die! You forced her to step on a tall building!"
"It's not like that ......," Cornel desperately tried to explain.
He had no idea this would happen, "If I had known, I would have stopped her from the beginning and not let her leave the Browns alone by herself, I ......"
"Didn't know that earlier!" Jacqueline's sultry gaze fell on him, "That day, I was going to stop her, you were the one who said, you said, if she didn't leave, you were going to call the police! Because she took the company's money, because she knew everything about me, that's why she was used by you as an accomplice!"
Cornel opened his mouth and found himself unable to refute her.
Jacqueline snickered, "The Browns, don't flatter yourselves with your innocence! I'm a murderer, so what if I did harm, but I got my comeuppance, and you did!"
She gazed at the person in front of her, and the other person became more and more vain to look up.
"Heh!" Jacqueline sneered, "What's the difference between you guys and me, in the end, we are both executioners ...... I will eventually be punished by the law and end up spending the rest of my life, while you guys, are going to live your lives in my resentment and Yolanda's hatred, don't forget, she was killed by you guys! of her!"
She kept repeating it as if it were a constant reminder of Yolanda's death.
Cornel was said to be groundless, face buried deep in his hands, simply can not face her ......
Jacqueline made a scene, scolded, and finally calmed down after who knows how long, she muttered, "Where is my daughter ......"
With a jolt, Cornel immediately handed her the necklace.
"Here, I brought her here specifically to see you, and I knew that if I let you know later, you would resent me for not telling you, so that's why I ......"
Jacqueline did not bother to look at his remorseful face at this point, but simply took the necklace in his hand with trembling hands.
Her hand lifted slightly, the gray in the necklace pendant was like a last thought, she looked obsessed and in a trance ......
"Yolanda ......"
"Jacqueline, just say what you want to say and do, I can help, I will help you!"
"When is Yolanda's funeral?" She trailed off expectantly.
Cornel paused for a few seconds before continuing to answer, "A few more days before sending her away, tomorrow will also be the New Year, always let her stay at home for a few days, after all ......"
After all, this is the last time ......
Cornel did not say the last words, but Jacqueline understood the meaning.
Her hand trembled slightly as she held his, "Cornel, I beg you one last thing, will you promise me!"
Cornel nodded heavily, "Go ahead!"
"I want to see Yolanda one last time, I want to send her away!"
Jacqueline's sudden exit request made Cornel round his eyes and reacted with an almost subconscious blurt, "Impossible!"
How do you get her to see Yolanda when she's in jail and how do you send her away?
"Cornel, I'm begging you! This is my only request in my life, Yolanda she ...... I haven't had the chance to see her one last time, and now that she's gone, can't I, as a mother, even send my own daughter away!"
Cornel's heart rambled for a while, and after some random thoughts, he shook his head in the end, "No, I can't promise you."
"Cornel!"
Jacqueline suddenly screamed, and the next second, she did not know where to get the ruthlessness to force herself to choke, "If you do not promise me, I will die now for you to see!"
