Griffin's blood painted the tombstone red!
The tombstone held a picture of Louise. In the picture, she was smiling, looking as young and pretty as she used to be.
Griffin, overwhelmed with emotion, suddenly fainted, and the scene turned chaotic...
People from the Horigan family rushed to catch him.
"Griffin! Griffin!"
"Griffin, what's the matter?"
...
Eloise held Angus' photo, staring blankly at the unfolding chaos.
She had known long ago that she was not Angus' biological child. She had always wanted to know who her biological father was, but she had never thought it would turn out to be... Griffin!
The man she had admired since she was a kid was also the one who pushed her into the abyss.
She watched this man faint, unable to feel any sympathy for him. She just watched coldly.
Both Parker and Harvey had guessed it: the biological daughter Griffin had been searching for was Eloise!
This truth left them shell-shocked!
Parker sighed, if only the truth had been exposed earlier, the ending for Eloise and Harvey would not have been like this!
Griffin woke from his unconsciousness.
Rain started falling from the sky...
The ones in charge of the burial wiped the blood from the tombstone, loudly declaring "May they rest in peace!" The heavy granite cover fell over the coffin, with Angus and Louise buried together!
"No!" Griffin staggered forward.
"Louise, I'll take you home!"
His actions left everyone at a loss!
After all, respecting the deceased was a basic courtesy!
Just as Griffin was inconsolable, Eloise coldly said, "Mr. Lynch, this is my mother's home. She was my father's legal wife. Where do you want to take her? To the Lynch family? I recall you have a legal wife!"
Griffin's body jolted!
He involuntarily looked at Eloise, this girl who looked so much like his Louise. She should be his biological daughter, but the look she gave him was cold and even hateful!
Griffin couldn't bear her cold attitude and vomited another mouthful of blood.
He let people lead him aside, watching helplessly as his Louise was buried with another man, forever together.
Eloise didn't look at him anymore.
She stood side by side with Michelle in silence, mourning!
...
The funeral ended.
The crowd began to disperse. Parker wanted to talk to Eloise, but Griffin's condition was too bad, so he had to take him away first.
Eloise, supported by Michelle, prepared to get in the car to return home.
Harvey grabbed her arm, "Eloise, we need to talk!"
Eloise looked at him calmly.
He was still handsome, but Eloise found that he no longer stirred any feelings in her heart. The difference between loving someone and not was indeed huge.
Eloise calmly said, "Give me a couple of days. I'm not in the mood to discuss this now!"
Harvey turned pale.
He softly said, "Let me take you and Michelle home!"
Eloise lightly said, "No need, we have a car arranged to pick us up. Attorney Horigan, please leave!"
Harvey understood her meaning.
He knew Eloise's personality. She might have decided to cut off ties with him. These days, Harvey had also considered whether ending their relationship decisively would be better. But every night, he missed Eloise.
He missed their days together.
He didn't want to break up with her, didn't want to end everything!
...
Eloise and Michelle returned home, which seemed a bit empty without Angus.
