Chapter 1839


    Chapter 1839


    The memorial tablets of Jason’s father and Old master Reed were set up in the inner hall.


    Mrs. Watts’s eyes turned red when she saw the two memorial tablets. She quickly said, “I… I’ll offer


    some incense!”


    With that said, she picked up the unused incense sticks in front of the memorial tablets, lit them up, and


    offered them.


    Old Lawyer Watts nced at his wife and followed suit.


    “Mrs. Watts, are you okay?” asked Grace when she looked at Mrs. Watts’s red eyes.


    “It’s n-nothing. I just think it’s a pity that your father-inw… died so young,” murmured Mrs. Watts.


    “My father-inw loved my mother-inw too much. He lost the will to live after losing the person he


    loved. Maybe death was a relief for him,” Grace said with a sigh. However, her father-inw had left his


    pain to the living to bear.


    “How… How did he die?” muttered Mrs. Watts.


    “He froze to death by the roadside. That’s when Jay came


    back to the Reed family holding my father-inw’s ashes, “said Grace.

    Mrs. Watts turned pale and wobbled a little.


    Old Lawyer Watts immediately grabbed his wife. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling sick?”


    “Yeah, I feel a little sick. I… I want to go back to the hotel and rest,” said Mrs. Watts.


    “I’ll ask the driver to take you back to the hotel,” said Grace as the three walked out of the mourning


    hall.


    When Old Lawyer Watts and his wife got back to the hotel, Mrs. Watts could not stop her tears and


    began crying her eyes out.


    Old Lawyer Watts sighed too. Today was the first time he saw what that man looked like!


    He could have inherited the Reed family and stood at the apex of Emerald City’s power and wealth, yet


    he died in such


    a way.


    “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault!” As if unable to contain the pain,


    Mrs. Watts finally shouted, “I did Kim wrong. If I hadn’t left at


    the time, Kim wouldn’t have died! I killed him!”

    Old Lawyer Watts did not know how tofort his wife and only patted her on the shoulder.


    “He froze to death… A man like him ended up freezing to


    death. Milo, I never thought he would freeze to death!” sobbed Mrs. Watts.


    For years, she had been specting about the cause of his death but she never expected it to be this!


    “It was because of me. It was because of me! If I hadn’t abandoned him and Jay, he wouldn’t have


    made this choice. I was corrupted with greed. I was ruthless!” Mrs. Watts kept pounding her chest. The


    delicate makeup on her face became streaked with tears.


    “If he knows how sorry you feel, he’ll forgive you,” said Old Lawyer Watts.


    “No, Kim won’t forgive me. He won’t forgive me…” Mrs. Watts said with agony.


    She once thought she would never return to Emerald City or set foot in the Reed family’s house again.

    However, she eventually learned that Jason was the husband


    of Grace, who was her husband’s apprentice. The small child


    who had called her ‘Grandma’ for more than two years was her biological granddaughter! After finding


    out about


    everything, she could not contain the longing in her heart


    anymore.
