Chapter 2046

Thssa didn''t nce back; she merely hesitated for a moment before continuing on her way. She knew better than to trust Isabe''s words. Falling for her tricks only brought trouble.
Seeing Thssa ignore herpletely, Isabe''s frustration boiled over. "Thssa, I know you don''t believe me, but why don''t you do a little digging? Ask Lysander himself if there''s a Harper in his life!" Isabe yelled after her, but the only response was Thssa''s retreating figure bing smaller in the distance.
Lydia, having had enough, approached with a scowl. "Get out of here, will you? I''m about to lock up!"
Isabe shot Lydia a venomous look before storming off, her heels clicking angrily against the pavement.
By the time Thssa returned to Starhaven, the sun was already beginning to set. She didn''t rush back to Royal Estates; knowing Lysander, he wasn''t home yet anyway. Sitting in her car with the window rolled down, a breeze carried the scent of spring and an unexpected wave of mncholy. Passing a flower shop, Thssa had the driver stop. She picked out a bouquet and then instructed him to drive to the cemetery. Seeing Isabe had dredged up a tsunami of memories, leaving her feeling blocked and heavy-hearted. She needed to visit Leopold.
At Leopold''s grave, she ced the bright yellow daisies by his headstone, staring at the photo that captured his youthful essence. Thssa couldn''t help but feel a pang of sorrow. She had always hoped, against all odds, for Leopold''s happiness, even knowing their future together was nonexistent.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.

"Sorry, sis, I missed my chance with Lysander," a voice suddenly broke the silence of the cemetery.

and saw a slender woman, kneeling in front of a grave, her demeanor schrly and elegant. It was Rosalind! Rosalind was at a grave two plots away from Leopold''s. Thssa had been so focused on her own grief she hadn''t noticed her earlier. Content belongs to
As their eyes met, Rosalind''s sorrowful expression quickly hardened into hostility.
"You here to stir up old memories?"
Rosalind stood, confronting
Thssa with a cold tone. Then, catching sight of the photo on Leopold''s headstone, she let out a
laugh. "Came to visit an old
me, did you? Does Lysander know about your little secret rendezvous?"
Rumors of Thssa''s past rtionships were no secret to Rosalind, who had hoped to use this knowledge to her advantage. Yet, in the end, she realized she hadn''ost to Thssa; she had lost to

Ignoring Rosalind''s barbed words, Thssa remembered that despite their differences, they shared the same father, making them sisters, not enemies. She had never intended to make an enemy of Rosalind.
