Upon reflection, she thought it was truly terrifying

Raylee couldn’t come to terms with the reality, and she needed some solitude.

“Ray–Ray, why aren’t you talking? What exactly led to Jeremiah’s death? Also, what was his connection with Bradley?” Casimir asked anxiously

Raylee, not wanting her suspicions to mislead Casimir, decided to change the subject.

“If Bradley wasn’t your bodyguard, then this matter would have nothing to do with you. However, let me reiterate. If you keep bothering me, don’t force me to run far away!”

Casimir was threatened. His tone was annoyed as he said, “So, now that Jeremiah is dead, you’re just going to run far away? Where do you plan on going?”

“I go to a place where I can’t find you! All that matters is that I won’t see you! I don’t love you anymore, regardless of whether Jeremiah is dead or alive. I’ve stopped loving you. You need to accept that reality!”

“Ray–Ray, is this truly how you feel?” A fleeting expression of desolation and loneliness suddenly crossed Casimir’s face.

“Yes. It’s my innermost feelings, so don’t pressure me!”

Raylee quickly walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi, not even considering taking Casimir’s car.

At Goodridge Manor, exhausted, Raylee sat by the window in her room.

The two–day journey to Musmeynia felt as if it had lasted a century.

Until that moment, she couldn’t believe that Jeremiah, who was once so vibrantly alive, had vanished from this world.

Just a short while ago, he had whisked her away to East Aploth. It wasn’t long ago when she was still using evidence of his crimes to blackmail him..

He, under duress, had already compromised, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

Yet, fate was unjust

The separation of life and death, a torment too unbearable for one’s existence, left a lasting imprint on Raylee’s heart that she struggled to let go.

Raylee couldn’t help but speculate. Had I not ventured to Musmeynia, had it not been for my protection, would Jeremiah have met his untimely end 10 soon! Even if the drug addiction was so severe that he was in unbearable pain, given his capabilities, he would still have the ability to protect himself, right?

Right then, Vera entered, seeing her face stained with tears. With a heart full of distress, she drew her into an embrace, saying. “My sweet granddaughter, Jeremiali has passed away. Are you very upset?”

“Grandma, you already knew?” Wiping her face, Raylee only then realized how many tears she had unknowingly shed.

Life was unpredictable. Just a month prior, she despised Jeremiah to the point of wishing him dead.

At that moment, however, she was devastated by his death.

with all the commotion your father’s been causing, it didn’t take much to find out,” Vera gently ruffled her hair with affection. “Don’t worry. It’s just that Jeremiah was not destined for a long life, nor was he fortunate enough to marry you. Even though he’s gone, there are countless others like him out there. Jexburgh is such a vast city, so there’s no shortage of eligible bachelors who would be a great match for you. Forget about that abusive man. I’ll help you find someone better.”

Kaylee was nonplussed “Just because he’s gone doesn’t mean I’m immediately on the hunt. I’m not that desperate to get married, Grandma. I’d rather spend more time with you. After all, no man is as important as you.”

“You silly girl… I already have one foot in the grave. All I want in my remaining years is to find you a shoulder to lean on.” Vera let out a deep sigh. “I initially thought that Jeremiah could be your strong pillar of support. Turns out, not only was he
