Chapter 650


    Thssa snapped back to reality, and her gaze shifted to her mother.


    Her mother had been in jail for two days, but it felt like two years had passed.


    Her hair turned noticeably silver, and her face showed new lines of age. Most importantly, her once


    vibrant, energetic spirit, which was always surrounded by joy andughter, had faded away.


    It was as if someone had sucked all the life out of her, leaving her listless and lifeless.


    A sharp surge of pain shot through Thssa’s heart. The joy that the children brought was not just for


    her; it was for their entire family.


    Their house used to be filled with the cheerful noise of four children, especially Elowen, the liveliest


    one.


    Suddenly, all four children were no longer living at home. The silence and solitude had doubled, which


    must’ve been devastating for Evelyn, who loved the hustle and bustle of family life.


    Thssa, too, was heartbroken.


    Even though Evelyn had been proven innocent and had been released, Thssa was unsure whether


    Lysander would allow them to see the children.


    That day at the Sinir residence, Lysander had ruthlessly told her to leave, stating that she didn’t


    deserve any of their children.


    Did this mean she wasn’t allowed to see the children anymore?


    Thssa didn’t have the courage to ask him.


    Angering him had severe consequences. She learned that lesson well today.


    “Mom, you should rest for a few days. We’ll see if we can visit the kids on Saturday.” Thssa tried to


    Evelyn nodded in response.


    The next day, Thssa went to work as usual.


    Ethan was leading a meeting when he suddenly announced his departure.


    “Thssa,e with me.”


    Ethan took Thssa from the conference room to his office. His expression was stern as he said, “I


    have to attend Sybil’s funeral, and I need someone to apany me. If you’re willing toe, I’ll take


    you. If not, I’ll take Betty.”


    He had been vague the day before when he’d asked Thssa to discuss the contract with Lysander.


    Thssa had seen through his intentions and was upset.

    Today, he decided to be upfront. If she was willing to go, he would take her. If not, he wouldn’t force


    her.


    Grandma Sybil’s funeral…


    Thssa’s heart sank. Just a few days ago, Grandma Sybil was healthy and vibrant. She was helping


    Lysander out of a tough situation, scolding Zephyr with a yful tone, and watching the children y


    with a benevolent look on her face.


    She had always wanted Lysander to have children so she could help look after them. She loved


    children.


    Sadly, just as she was reunited with the four little ones, she passed away.


    The mere thought of it plunged Thssa into deep sadness.


    Although Zephyr had always been hostile toward Thssa, Grandma Sybil had always been kind and


    good to her.


    Thssa wanted to bid her farewell too.


    “I’ll go.”


    “Good. Change into ck clothing ande with me.” Ethan stated this before heading to the office’s


    changing room.


    Thssa hadn’t prepared any ck clothes, so she bought a set from a store downstairs and changed


    into it.


    At the cemetery.


    Many people hade to attend the funeral, including Zephyr’s friends, Grandma Sybil’s old friends,


    business partners of the Sinir family, and prominent families associated with the Sinirs.


    A fine mist of rain was falling from the sky.


    Thssa stood next to Ethan, holding an umbre over him.


    In front of the grave, Lysander and Zephyr stood at the forefront, with David holding an umbre for


    Lysander and the Sinir family’s butler doing the same for Zephyr.


    Zephyr held Grandma Sybil’s urn. His aged face was a picture of grief and sadness. Tears welled up in


    his cloudy eyes, and his voice broke as he said, “Sybil, we had already set a date for our seventieth


    wedding anniversary. How could you leave me like this?”
