    The caller turned out to be a friend from the vige where Ang used to live with the Lynches.


    He mentioned that there would be a memorial service for Mike in the vige as per tradition, and asked


    if she would like to attend.


    Even though Ang was not Mike’s biological daughter, she had called him dad for many years, so it


    felt right for her to pay her respects.


    Ang agreed to go.


    However, she decided not to stay the night but to attend as a gesture to honor their bond.


    In the past few days, Jonathan had shown significant improvement in his condition and seemed to be


    back to normal, which put her at ease.


    Upon hearing that Ang was nning to visit the Lynches‘, Jonathan suggested, “Take Oliver with


    you.”


    Ang epted the suggestion without hesitation.


    The ce teemed with people and activity. While there was no immediate danger, caution was


    advisable.


    After a few hours of driving, Ang arrived at the Lynches!


    The atmosphere here was lively.

    It was bustling with many people engaged in conversations, lending a helping hand, and some


    preparing to sing.


    Severalrge tables were set up in the courtyard, adorned with a variety of dishes.


    Ang raised an eyebrow. Has Britney struck it rich? But this isn’t surprising, considering the Kins


    Family has invested their precious gem here. She has to spend a little to ensure Fanny’s safety.


    “Why are you here?” Fanny, carrying a basin of water, confronted Ang as she was about to enter the


    house.


    Her expression was unweing, showing no pretense in such a setting.


    The opinions of those other people didn’t bother her much. After spending a few days there,

    she felt suffocated, and encountering the person responsible for her difort, Fanny naturally didn’t


    hide her displeasure.


    Ang nced at Fanny and proceeded into the room, stating, “I’m here to pay my respects?


    Fanny hastily ced the basin down. “You’re just putting on an act. Ang, please leave and don’t


    disturb my dad.”


    Fanny wasn’t trying to defend anything; she simply wanted to oppose Ang at that


    moment.


    “Dad…” Ang smirked, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. “You’re addressing him so smoothly now. Well


    done, you’ve assimted seamlessly. Truly the blood–rted daughter of the Lynches.”


    Fanny was furious. She approached Ang, lowering her voice, “I warn you, this is not the ce for


    your theatrics. If you have nothing to do, leave immediately.”


    Ang appraised Fanny and offered her a meaningful smile. “Fanny, you seem more genuine in this


    state. It’s almost refreshing.”


    Fanny adjusted her clothes, ring at Ang as if she wanted to devour her.


    Living with the Lynches, she couldn’t wear the expensive dresses she used to. Not only did they feel


    out of ce, but they could easily get ruined. Moreover, every time she stepped outside, lecherous


    eyes followed her.


    She had no choice but to dress modestly to avoid unwanted attention.


    But Ang’s mockery was evident.


    Before Fanny could respond, Britney emerged.


    She appeared despondent,cking her usual vigor.


    Fanny sneered.


    You were energetic and bold when asking the Kins Family for money at the police station a few days


    ago. Now, you’re acting like the victim and pretending to be sad.


    Upon seeing Ang, Britney burst into tears. “Ang, you’re here. Your dad has left me all alone in


    despair. This heartless man. How can a healthy person just vanish like that…”


    Ang furrowed her brow, taking a step back as Britney hurried towards her. “My condolences. And


    besides…”

    She nced over at Barny “Don’t you still have a wonderful daughter? Fanny was raised as a proper


    youngdy, and she will surely take care of you in the future?


    writney nodded slightly


    Fanny stood silently to the side, her gaze fixed on Ang as she paid her respect to Mike,


    Ang was lost in thought as she gazed at Mike’s portrait,


    Feeling uneasy, Fanny approached Ang. “Why are you still here?”


    Ignoring Fanny, Ang shifted her attention to Britney, “Today marks… his seventh day, It’s also known


    as the night of returning souls”


    Brimey nodded knowingly, “Yes, Mike shoulde back to visit us, and once he does, he will leave.”


    “There’s also a possibility…” Ang hesitated. She then nced at Fanny before speaking softly. “I’ve


    heard that some people with unfulfilled wishes may return during this time to fulfill them.”


    Britney furrowed her brow. “Wishes?”


    “Yes. It could be concerns for loved ones, regrets, or even… seeking revenge for past wrongs when


    they were powerless to fight back,” Ang continued slowly.


    Each time Ang spoke, Fanny’s heart trembled.


    Britney listened with confusion while Fanny felt a pang of guilt.


    She clenched her fists tightly.


    No, that can’t be true.


    She was a modern young woman, a believer in science. All this talk of spirits and haunting nights was


    nonsense.


    Fanny’s face paled, her heart racing.


    Ang observed silently, then took some money from her purse and handed it to Britney before


    departing.


    Britney observed Ang, pleasantly surprised to discover a hint of conscience in her. It appears our


    efforts to raise her are not in vain.

    After watching Ang leave, Fanny breathed a sigh of relief.


    Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Ang’s actions and words today were inexplicable.


    Tonight was the night of vigil.


    As Mike’s biological daughter, Fanny had no choice but to participate after having moved her


    household registration here.


    Otherwise, she would be inundated with criticism from rtives and friends.


    She knelt beside the wreath while others inside and outside the house engaged in ying cards.


    Thankfully, she wasn’t alone, or she would have been terrified.


    Britney was helped to rest in the room by others.


    Lying on the bed, she felt a wave of sorrow. Despite their strained rtionship, she and Mike had been


    married for many years. His sudden passing left her feeling a deep sense of loss.

    Especially now that Mike was gone, she would have to navigate earning a living and managing the


    household on her own. The future seemed daunting.


    At the thought of this, Britney’s mood worsened even more.


    At this moment, a woman from the vige entered the room, closing and locking the door behind her.


    Approaching Britney with a grave expression, she said, “Britney, I have something important to tell you.


    You must stay strong.”


    “What is it, Noreen?” Britney asked, noting the seriousness in Noreen’s demeanor. It seemed like


    something significant was unfolding.
