Chapter 754


    Sadie’s death at Peter’s hands quickly made headlines, and the news of the matricide spread like


    wildfire.


    Samuel fled Jipsburg in disgrace, quickly selling Elden Residence at a significant discount. He was


    desperate to escape the city before being hounded by reporters seeking for a scoop.


    His whereabouts remained a mystery.


    Skr learned about these developments from the news. The Williams family’s downfall left her with


    a sense of mncholy.


    One evening after work, Skr received a call from a prison guard. Peter wanted to see her. The


    guard urged her toply with Peter’s request.


    At the prison, Skr found Peter with a shaved head, his stubble now streaked with gray. His once


    sharp gaze was now hollow and vacant. Gone was the calcting look he used to have when he


    saw her.


    Skr picked up the phone, fully aware that her ties to the Williams family were severed.


    Peter also took the phone, his eyes locked on Skr.


    “I’ve thought a lot these past few days,” Peter began. “It’s clear to me now that I was living


    recklessly, oblivious to the consequences of my choices. I even killed my mother with my own


    hands. You must be happy to see me behind bars for the rest of my life, huh?”


    “I don’t harbor any personal feelings about your situation. As aw–abiding citizen, I believe that


    those whomit crimes should face the appropriate legal consequences,” Skr responded with


    calm detachment.


    The fate of the Williams family left her indifferent. Had this urred before her rebirth, she might


    have felt satisfaction.

    Peter’s face contorted in shock, followed by a sudden outburst ofughter. “Let


    me grant you one final wish,” he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.


    Tregret everything. If only you had returned home and I had treated you with respect, our family


    wouldn’t have fallen apart. I could have achieved even greater prominence in Jipsburg.”


    Skr raised an eyebrow and then put down the phone. She stood up and left.


    Peter watched her nkly as she walked away, still holding the phone.


    As the prison guard led him away, Peterughed bitterly, muttering to himself, “I wish this were just


    a dream. If only this were all just a nightmare, How could I have been so foolish? I’m so stupid.”


    The guard was unperturbed; it wasmon for newly imprisoned individuals to struggle with


    eptance. If someone could kill their own mother and feel no remorse, they would truly be beyond


    redemption.


    Later that evening, in the hushed darkness of their bedroom, Skr’s body still trembled slightly as


    her mind slowly returned to her.


    In her peripheral vision, she caught sight of Joe recing the used condom with a new one. It


    seemed that the intense session earlier had


    only whetted his appetite.


    Skr’s face was flushed from the physical exertion. Sensing Joe’s renewed interest, she tried to


    extricate herself from the situation. “I’m going to take a shower.”


    She was startled by the hoarseness in her voice, her throat sore from


    earlier screams.


    Joe’s eyes, dark and intense, lingered on Skr, his desire reignited by her voice. “Showerter.”


    Then, he pressed his entire body down onto Skr.


    Skr couldn’t escape. Joe’s energy seemed inexhaustible that night as they repeated their intimate


    encounters.


    By the time Joe finished, Skr felt physically exhausted, as if her body were on the verge of


    copse. Even after a refreshing shower, she felt


    E/C


    However, she found herself unable to sleep as shey in bed.


    Joe returned from the balcony, where he had gone for a smoke. He climbed into bed and pulled


    Skr into his arms.


    Skry limply, devoid of strength..


    “Have you been deliberately avoiding metely?” Joe’s voice was heavy with concern.


    Recently, Skr’s deliberate distance had left Joe feeling confused. Today, a casual conversation


    with someone else revealed that Aiken might have romantic feelings for Skr.


    Several people who had sought Skr’s assistance had mentioned her to Aiken, who had


    responded with nothing but glowing praise. This was unusual, as Aiken wasn’t known for easily


    complimenting women.


    It was worth noting that Aiken had been particrly helpful when Skr had gone missing.
