Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 651

Chapter 651 Burning Bridges

Just as she walked over with the ashes in her arms, the sunlight dimmed, dark clouds obscured the rays, and thunder rumbled beneath the heavy cloud cover.

Ainsley walked dispiritedly towards a tombstone, the cold stone standing tall, while the man in the photo on it appeared exceptionally strong and resolute.

She trembled as she reached out to touch the photograph. Her father, a once-famous business tycoon, was now confined to this small picture after his death.

The culprit hasn't been found yet; he probably can’t rest in peace even in the afterlife.

The tomb was reopened by Manuel's bodyguard, and inside the empty coffin, Ainsley placed a picture frame. It contained a photo of her father and mother together.

Still gazing indifferently at the photo, all emotions remain concealed deep within.

A droplet of rain fell on her head, and soon her hair was dampened by the rain.

Ainsley casually flicked her hair and then placed the ashes into the coffin.

Several bodyguards hurried over and closed the coffin lid.

Afterwards, she watched as Matteo nodded, and he raised the shovel, scooping dirt to cover the coffin.

Behind her, someone held a black umbrella over their head.

Manuel looked at the disheartened Ainsley, his heart filled with pity. As he lowered his gaze, he could see the trembling eyelashes of Ainsley, adorned with droplets of water. He couldn't tell if it was rain or tears.

The rain grew heavier, and the dark clouds churned, as if the sky was proclaiming its presence.

She slowly crouched down and touched that weathered face with her hand, "Dad, do you think I'm useless?"

After a long silence, Manuel squatted down like her and said softly, "Aisy, seeing you safe and sound in front of him is his most comforting moment."

Ainsley glanced back at Manuel, perhaps he had a point.

No matter what she does, her father always supports her.

"Aisy, it doesn't matter what rank you get in the exam. The most important thing is to be happy. Exams can be so tiring, let's go to the amusement park to relax."

"Don't cry, don't cry. Daddy will always support you."

“It would be great if you could get into the University of Washington. I'd rather you not study abroad; I would be worried."

She patted her pant leg, preparing to stand up. However, before she could fully rise, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and then lost consciousness.

When Ainsley woke up again, she found herself in a room filled with the smell of formaldehyde. She realized that she must be in a hospital, with an IV drip attached to her left hand.

After fainting in the cemetery, she must have been brought straight here.

Not long after, Matteo walked in.

"Awake?"

Ainsley nodded, but didn't notice Manuel's figure.

It seemed as if he could read Ainsley’s thoughts, so he explained, "Manuel is dealing with matters concerning the Packer Group."

“The Packer Group?’ Ainsley asked, somewhat puzzled.

Matteo nodded sternly, "Don't think that handing over the ashes means everything is settled. I've already sent someone to guard the cemetery. Until Kaliyah is completely dealt with, there will be someone watching."

Ainsley sighed, "What a... hassle."

Kaliyah was like a malignant tumor. Before, she would constantly pester Cason, complaining that he didn't pay enough attention to her. But after their divorce, she became even more clingy, bothering her day and night.

"Don't worry, Manuel already has a plan. The deal you made with her didn't say that Manuel and I cant deal with her, right?"

For the first time, Ainsley saw extreme disgust in Matteo's eyes, which showed just how much Kaliyah was truly annoyed.
