Another comment said, “This is letting that animal off too easily. He should suffer a few years in jail, not being allowed to eat every day and suffer a beating every day. He deserved to be tormented to death!”
One comment agreed, “Exactly! He died way too early. It’s a shame that he hasn’t tasted the bitterness of suffering!”
“It’s a bigger shame that the victims did not witness David tried by the law. He hasn’t suffered utter humiliation by the public. What a shame!”
However, it didn’t matter what was said. No one was standing on David’s side. Only a person out of his mind would do that.
The Schmidt Group had never publicly expressed their stance yet. They were so quiet as if they didn’t know David.
Victor’s son, whom he had spoiled for two decades died and suffered so much humiliation on the internet. Yet, he didn’t dare utter a word, hoping that the citizens of this country would stop hounding on their family affairs.
However, David’s funeral was done sloppily. No one else came to send their condolences except for his family.
No one of status and power would come and pay their respects to a terrible animal like him. They would be too shameless if they did that.
Time passed, and it was finally two days before Sophia’s trial.
In the morning, Alyssa visited Jeremy’s mother, Anne, with him.
In the quiet and solemn cemetery, desolation and sadness filled their hearts.
Alyssa placed her mother’s favorite bouquet of lilies respectfully before the tombstone. An overwhelming sense of sadness overtook her. Her eyes reddened as she stood behind Jeremy.
Jeremy knelt on one knee and used a clean white handkerchief to delicately wipe the tombstone.
Alyssa noticed this tombstone was the cleanest and most well-kept in the entire cemetery. It was clear that Jeremy visited her every year. He cared for this place day and night, ensuring his mother could rest in peace.
“Mom, I’m here to see you again.”
Jeremy was teary-eyed as his fingertips shakily grazed his mother’s face in the photo. “However, it’s different this time. I didn’t come alone today. I have company.
“I remember you were always worried I would have no one with me when I was younger. You always worried I would be lonely. Mom, you don’t need to worry now. I’m doing well. Since you left, I-I found my happiness once again.”
He stood up, walked to Alyssa’s side, and hugged her tightly by the shoulder. His lips curled into a bright smile. “Look, what do you think of her? I think she is beautiful, just like you.”
“Y-You’re exaggerating…”
Alyssa’s cheeks blushed. She was more beautiful than any other woman in the world. She knitted her fair and delicate hands together, completely shy and reserved.
It was as if Jeremy’s mother was standing right in front of her.
“Mom, let me introduce you to her. Her name is Alyssa Taylor. She is the love of my life.” Jeremy choked as he shakily said the last word. “I don’t want anything but her in this lifetime.” “Jeremy.” Alyssa murmured, teary-eyed.
“I’m sure you’re happy for me wherever you are now.”
Suddenly, a delicate breeze lifted a strand of Alyssa’s black hair hanging next to her beautiful face. It blew away the tears at the corner of her eyes like an invisible hand caressing her face gently.
Alyssa’s face started beating wildly. Her eyes widened as she stared at the warm, smiling woman in the monochrome picture.
She wondered if it was Jeremy’s mother, answering Jeremy silently.
She must have been watching over her son in heaven, protecting and blessing him.
“Mom, Alyssa, and I had found out how you died. Now, Sophia is in prison, and her trial is in two days. I hope that will be her doomsday.
“Alyssa and I will make sure Sophia suffers the way you did. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. We will make sure she pays tenfold!”
Jeremy’s eyes reddened as he laced his fingers in hers. “Once we have the verdict, we will come back and visit you with the news of victory.”
“Auntie Anne, we will win this war. Please bless Jeremy wherever you are in heaven.”
After they finished, they both paid their respects before Anne’s tombstone, hand in hand.
Jeremy’s eyes were filled with tears as he paid his respects to his late mother. His lips curled into a happy smile.
He was overjoyed to have brought Alyssa to finally see his mother.
Both of them stayed for a while. Alyssa wiped and cleaned the tombstone. Then, she was ready to leave peacefully.
Suddenly, unfamiliar footsteps inched closer to them.
“Jeremy?”
However, the familiar voice was like a sharp ice pick that stabbed Jeremy’s back.
Alyssa turned back before he did to look. Her pupils dilated as Jeremy’s grip, already tight, tightened even more.
Javier stood tall in a black suit a few steps away. Rory and four bodyguards were right behind him.
The resounding presence of the Walsh Group’s chairman shattered the serenity of the cemetery.
Alyssa watched as the glum look on Jeremy’s face set in like the moon setting into the vast sea.
Jeremy’s shoulders trembled slightly underneath his suit. His eyes were bloodshot. He turned into a volcano as an overwhelming wave of emotions erupted in him.
Alyssa squeezed his hand, trying to hint for him to maintain his composure.
She wasn’t a goody-two-shoes who would buy into the “a harmonious family would prosper” gimmick. She wanted to help Jeremy by giving Javier a piece of her mind.
However, fighting in front of Jeremy’s mother’s tombstone didn’t seem too respectful of her. Jeremy’s mother would be rolling in her grave in anger if she saw it.
“I didn’t expect you to visit your mother today. You should have told me earlier, and we could have come together.”
Javier carried the authority of a father, but his tone remained gentle. “I think your mother would have loved it.”
“My mother would have loved it?” Jeremy stared at him coldly. Hatred pierced through his voice. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Mr. Javier.”
“What are you saying, Jeremy?” Javier frowned deeply.
“As a husband, you’ve never cared about her depression when she was alive. When she passed, you didn’t arrange for anyone to tidy her tombstone up even once. For the past 20 years, there have been more gardeners here than the number of times you’ve visited Mom. Now, you’re talking nonsense about her wanting to see you.”
Jeremy laughed and shook his head. Anger burned in his heart. “Mr. Javier, my mom had slept by your bedside for years and had loved you. But there has to be a limit to however shameless you want to be.”
Alyssa was shocked as she nervously pursed her lips.
She wondered if they would start fighting physically, whether it was necessary to step in to get Jeremy to step down.
However, she agreed with what Jeremy said. She didn’t want to step in. She wanted to scold Javier, for he was nothing but an obnoxious and shameless old man!
If they fought, so be it. She would have clocked those bodyguards one by one.
Javier was outraged. Anger reddened his stiffened face.
Rory and the bodyguards kept their mouths shut, terrified for Jeremy.
“Rory, give me the flowers.” There were outsiders around, so Javier didn’t want to look bad. He held his anger in and instructed Rory coldly.
“Yes, Mr. Javier.” Rory quickly brought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums to Javier respectfully.
He took it with a lowered gaze and walked to the tombstone glumly.
However, after a few steps, Jeremy’s tall and sturdy body blocked him. He snatched the bouquet and threw it on the ground.
Everyone gasped in shock.
Javier’s eyes widened as he was consumed with rage. “What the hell are you doing, Jeremy?”
“Mr. Javier, my mother and I do not welcome you.”
Jeremy locked his piercingly cold gaze on Javier’s shocked face. He emphasized each word, “She doesn’t need your pretense. You are not worthy to stand before her.”
As he said it, he went forward and stomped on the white chrysanthemums.
“Pretense… Are you saying that I’m putting on a show?”
It was as if something was stuck in Javier’s throat as he pointed at his son’s face. His high and mighty demeanor was slowly compromised. “Jeremy, you ungrateful bastard!
