River was shocked. “When did you prepare this? I haven’t had the time to get something yet.”
“I told you that I’m a representative of the bride’s family. Don’t worry about a menial task like this,” Kenny assured her.
“Whoa! Uncle Kenny is so cool,” Liora remarked, looking at Kenny with glistening eyes.
Kenny adjusted his bow tie proudly. “I’m always cool.”
Liora rolled his eyes. “Mommy, how did you befriend a narcissistic friend like him?”
Meanwhile, Noah was talking to Reuben on the phone as he headed to the cemetery.
Reuben reported, “Sir, we lost Mr. Casey after following him to the cemetery!”
Noah’s expression was solemn. “Are you sure that he is in the cemetery?”
“Yes! Julian and I saw him with our own eyes!” Reuben confirmed.
Noah instructed, “Get them to check around and capture Casey if they see him.”
“Yes, sir!”
Noah looked out the window after ending the call. ‘The cemetery is a large area, but hiding a person won’t be easy. In addition, Casey drove a car. How can they possibly lose him for no reason? Or is the person they are following not Casey?”
Noah pondered as his phone rang. An unknown number appeared on the screen. He picked up in puzzlement and heard a familiar voice.
“My dear brother, are you looking for me now?” Casey asked.
Noah clutched his phone tightly. “What kind of game are you playing, Casey?”
“How can you lose your temper on your engagement day, Noah?” Casey continued to provoke Noah. “Are Noah gnashed his teeth in rage.
Before he could speak, Casey said coldly, “Noah, your slutty mother is the cause of me ending up like this today! If I’m not doing well, she won’t have it easy in the afterlife, either!
“I’m going to give you a taste of pain and misery today! Don’t even think about having peace on your engagement day as long as I’m here! Hahaha!”
Casey thought, ‘Rather than confronting Noah in person, I might as well torment him like this!‘
At the thought of Noah wailing bitterly on his knees before the tombstone, his heart was racing in excitement.
Casey thought, ‘Noah! I wouldn’t be in this situation if not for his bitch mother! I can torment her when I’m alive, but I can still disrupt her peace when she is dead!‘
A twisted smile gradually appeared on Casey’s face.
He clutched the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator when he saw Jamie’s tombstone.
“Jamie! Noah! Your good time is coming to an end!”
Casey’s laughter grew more frantic and sinister.
All of a sudden, dizziness came over Casey. He blinked and found a woman with long hair in a white dress suddenly standing in front of Jamie’s grave.
He was so startled that he stepped on the brake.
‘Jamie?!‘ Casey’s heart was racing because he realized that the figure looked just like Jamie! ‘Isn’t Jamie dead? Why did she appear?‘
Casey rubbed his eyes and looked again to find the figure still lingering.
In fact, the figure was turning to him slowly.
Casey’s pupils constricted in fear the moment the woman looked up at him.
It was a face that was smashed into a bloody mess! It was almost impossible to tell the facial features!
Casey thought, ‘Jamie…”
Casey’s face turned ghastly pale when he realized it was Jamie’s ghost!
Casey’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as Jamie floated to him slowly.
His breathing felt heavy, and he swallowed a gulp of saliva incredulously.
However, he forced himself to calm down soon afterward.
Casey thought, ‘Ghost, huh? Nothing but a ghost! You were scared of me when you were alive! Do you think you can triumph over me just because you’re dead?‘
Casey gnashed his teeth, set aside all the distracting thoughts, and stepped on the accelerator once again.
Casey thought, ‘If you want to die so badly, I don’t mind killing you again!‘
Meanwhile, Reuben and Julian were searching for Casey nearby when Casey drove the car at full speed.
Their eyes widened in surprise when they saw the hearse seemingly veering out of control.
Reuben had no idea who the driver was, but he shouted out of kindness, “Sir! Stop the car! There’s a rock ahead!”
Julian shouted, “Stop! You’re going to crash the car if you don’t!”
Casey heard the voices in succession.
He felt like he was jolted back to reality and regained his composure.
There was no Jamie’s ghost in front but a massive stone monument several meters in height!
Casey thought, ‘Oh no!‘
His heart sank, and the hearse crashed into the stone monument.
“Reuben! It’s Mr. Casey!” Julian exclaimed, panic in his eyes.
Stunned, Reuben asked, “What did you say?”
Noah asked, “What’s going on?”
Reuben replied, “Sir, I think Mr. Casey might be dead…”
He then recounted the earlier incident to Noah, who rushed to the scene within two minutes.
Upon arrival, Noah saw Casey, who had been extracted from the car by Reuben and Julian and placed on the ground. Casey’s top was stained red with blood.
Noah sneered at the tragic sight. ‘How foolish is he to crash himself to death?‘
Reuben reported with a frown, “Mr. Casey isn’t breathing, sir.”
Julian added, “My condolences, sir.”
Unimpressed, Noah retorted, “Condolences? Do I look sad to you?”
Realizing his mistake, Julian hastily apologized, “I’m sorry, sir. I spoke without thinking!”
Noah ignored Casey and looked toward his mother’s unscathed tombstone. He coldly ordered, “Get someone to take him away so he won’t bother my mother’s resting ground here!”
Reuben complied, “Yes, sir!”
After arranging for Casey’s removal, Reuben drove Noah home.
Noah asked, “How did you find Casey?”
Reuben explained, “We found him on Chisouth Road by lucky chance because he had the car’s window down.”
Noah frowned. “Did you check his ?ar license plate? Whose name was registered to the car?”
Reuben confirmed, “I did. It’s a fake license plate.”
Noah thought, ‘Another fake license plate? Who on earth keeps doing this repeatedly?”
As Noah pondered, Reuben’s phone rang. He stopped the car and checked his phone, discovering it was the VP of Muricia’s MK.
He put it on speaker, and Rowan Bloom urgently said, “Reuben, is Mr. De Marco there? Something bad has happened!”
Reuben handed the phone to Noah and watched as Noah sternly asked, “What is it?”
“Mr. De Marco! Please come to Muricia soon! The other party breached our firewall just five minutes ago!”
Noah’s expression turned cold. “What a bunch of useless people! How are the documents?”
“A confidential document related to the data of a software slated for launch in mid–year has been stolen, and the IT department can’t recover it.”
Noah sighed. “Understood.”
Rowan pleaded, “Please come to Muricia, Mr. De Marco. The company is in chaos now.”
Noah agreed, “Understood!”
River answered Noah’s call with a smile.
“Hello? Are you coming home?” she asked cheerfully.
“River, I’m sorry that I can’t attend the engagement party today,” Noah apologized in a deep voice.
River was taken aback. “Did something happen?”
Noah explained, “Our company’s firewall in Muricia has been breached, and a highly confidential document has been stolen. I need to be there right away.”
Suppressing the intense dejection in her heart, River lowered her gaze and replied, “Understood, you may go.”
“I’m sorry.” Noah sounded guilty.
River forced a smile. “It’s fine. I understand the urgency of company matters. We can do the engagement party another day.”
Noah kept quiet for a moment before saying, “Wait for my return.”
Although saddened, River agreed, “Sure, I’ll wait.”
After ending the call, Charis noticed River’s dejected expression and asked, “Are you okay, Ms.
Healy?”
River put down the phone. “You may stop now.”
Charis asked, “Huh, why?”
With a bitter smile, River explained, “Something happened, so we can’t proceed with today’s engagement party. Thank you for doing this. You may leave.”
Charis packed up and headed downstairs.
Kenny approached her and asked, “You’re done with G’s makeup so soon?”
Awkwardly, Charis replied, “Ms, Healy called off the session. She seems to be in a bad mood. You should check on her. I shall take my leave.”
