“Mom, why isn’t Dorothy going on her own?” Lady Beatrice Assex asked.
Lady Beatrice still wanted to stay in bed. After being dragged out of bed by Madame Claire Assex, Lady Beatrice was still in an unpleasant mood.
They were going to burn incense and pray because Madame Claire had already found out what happened at Dorothy-Alex Constructions the day before. The company nearly got shut down, and Madame Claire was so scared that she couldn’t sleep the entire night.
If the company really was shut down, what would their family live on?
Hence, Madame Claire decided to burn incense at Ereve Temple.
“Your sister is managing such a large company. How could she leave?” Madame Claire said.
“Sigh. Hurry up, will you? What’s taking you so long? Did you fall into the toilet bowl?” Madame Claire asked.
“My period is here, and I’m putting on my sanitary pad. Would you like to do it for me?” Lady Beatrice asked.
“If you want me to put on your pad for you, would you like me to get married on your behalf too?” asked Madame Claire in return.
“Sure, Mom. I thinkyou’re starting to desire men now. I don’t mind. Hurry up and get married on my behalf. Have a child for me too while you’re at it,” Lady Beatrice said.
“You’re nuts!” Madame Claire exclaimed.
The two bickered on and on until finally, they prepared everything, got into the car, and left the house.
Just as they got out of the front door in their new Mercedes-Benz, they bumped into two men wearing black clothes. After seeing them, Lady Beatrice discovered that the two men by the road were staring directly at her. Their facial expressions and gazes were both very odd.
It felt a little eerie.
Despite the hot weather, she still felt chills down her spine.
“Mom, why are these two people so weird? They have scary looks in their eyes,” Lady Beatrice said.
Madame Claire noticed them too, and she began to rant. “It’s still early in the morning, and it should have been a fortuitous time. I have no idea where these two idiots came from. They look like deities, and they seem to be wearing burial clothes. These two must be lunatics,” she said.
Meanwhile, Lady Beatrice saw something even creepier.
There was a black coffin behind those two men.
