Chapter 758 She''s Dead
Wesley frowned. So, that was the reason why Megan had called him that day while he was cooking.
"Whoever did that to you, I''m sure it had nothing to do with ir. She hasn''t left my side in the past few
days. I''m not going to meddle with your business anymore. Report your case to the police. Let thew
help you seek the justice you deserve. I can''t do anything about it."
Megan couldn''t believe it. "Wesley Li! Did you forget what you and Carlos had promised to myte
parents? You had vowed to take care of me for the rest of my life. How can you go back on your word
now?"
A cold light shed in Wesley''s eyes as he snapped, "You are lucky that your n failed and ir is
safe. Or else, I would have personally locked you up in jail. Carlos and I have tried our best to make it
up to you and care about you. We can''t do anything more than this. Of course, I can''t say this on behalf
of Carlos, but I, Wesley Li, will nevere see you again. I''ll stay out of your life, Megan, and you stay
out of mine."
Saying so, he took ir''s hand and turned around to leave.
Tears streamed down Megan''s face. "Uncle Wesley, please don''t leave me alone. I know it was my
fault...Please don''t go..."
Her cries didn''t soften his heart this time. Showing her no mercy, Wesley left her apartment with ir
without any hesitation.
Once they got into the car, ir asked the man, "Are you upset?"
He squeezed her hand and answered honestly, "No. Just disappointed." Wesley wondered since when
Megan had be such a vicious girl. She used to be so innocent and lovely.
ir nodded. "Now that you know Megan''s true colors, what are your thoughts about Debbie? Do you
still think she is a bad woman?"
He fell silent.
She didn''t press the question. Since he had promised to stay out of Megan''s life, she decided to let it
go. She didn''t want to mention Megan''s name anymore. Ever.

Soon after, Debbie got married to Ivan. ir and Wesley were invited to attend the wedding ceremony
in Z Country, but they couldn''t go. For one, Wesley wasn''t familiar with Ivan, and secondly, he was busy
with something else that day.
ir didn''t attend the wedding because Debbie had told her that her marriage to Ivan was fake. But it
had to be kept a secret for now.
However, somethingpletely unexpected happened on her wedding day. Debbie was taken away by
the police as a suspect for Megan''s murder.
ir was doing some part-time trantion work at home when Wesley came to her with the shocking
news.
She threw a nce at him and joked, "Dead? Another one of her shows?" She didn''t take it seriously.
However, she forgot that Wesley never joked.
"She''s dead. It''s true," he said again in a serious tone.
Her hands froze on the keyboard. "What? Megan...is really dead?"
"Yes."
Her eyes widened in shock. "How did she die?"
In an instant, a myriad of mixed feelings filled her heart. She hated Megan to the core of her being, but
she had never wished for her to die.
"The police have evidence to show that it was Debbie. She had someone rape Megan and then
stabbed her a dozen times with a knife," he replied solemnly.
''Debbie?'' "How could that be possible?" She shot to her feet and mmed her hand on the desk.
"Damn it! She got Debbie into trouble even after her death!" ir had felt sorry for Megan a minute
ago. Now, she was just frustrated and pissed.
"Calm down, ir. The case is still under investigation. If Debbie didn''t do it, the truth woulde to
light soon."
"I cannot calm down. I''m worried about Debbie. Where is she now? You have to help her, Wesley! I''m
sure she didn''t do it. Mr. Huo doesn''t remember her yet. If you don''t help her, I… I won''t talk to you
anymore!"
Wesley was happy that she didn''t mention the word "divorce" again. With a small smile, he said, "I
knew you would say something like that. I''ll see what I can do."
For ir''s sake, he decided that he would try to offer some help to clear Debbie''s name.
On the day of Megan''s funeral, only the four most respected men of Y City and their wives had showed
up.
Megan didn''t have any close friends while she was still alive. All the so-called friends around her were
just disreputable associates who had wanted to benefit from her.
By the time ir and Wesley arrived, Damon, Curtis and the others had left.
The two of them stood silently in front of Megan''s gravestone.
Wesley ced a bouquet of flowers on the gravestone and stood still.
ir asked him, "Are you feeling guilty?"
He understood what she meant. In an affirmative tone, he replied, "No."
"Really?"
"I won''t let anyone hurt you, no matter what." If he could go back in time, he would make the same
choices all over again.
ir was the most important person in his life. No one could change his heart.
ir smiled faintly at Megan''s ck and white portrait. ''Megan, is this how you wanted things to end for
you? Did you ever regret anything you did?''
Despite the hatred she held against Megan, ir didn''t want to say anything disrespectful to the dead.
She prayed, ''Rest in peace. I hope that in your next life, you are born as a kind and good person.''
The tombs of Megan''s parents were not far away from hers. Wesley walked to their gravestones
afterwards. ir didn''t tag along since she had never met Megan''s parents. She waited for him outside
the cemetery.
Wesley opened a bottle of liquor, squatted down and poured some of it on the ground near the
gravesite. "Mr. and Mrs. Lan, I''m here to apologize to you today."
He saw some incense that had just burned out in front of the gravestone. Carlos hade, he
reckoned.
He looked at the pictures of Megan''s parents and continued to say, "We couldn''t educate or protect
Megan like we had promised. Forgive us. If you reunite with her in heaven, please show her the right
path..."
When ir saw him walk out of the cemetery with a gloomy face, she felt sorry for him. She didn''t
know why, but she wanted tofort him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she said gently, "You
can cry on my shoulders if you are feeling sad."
He had taken care of Megan for so many years. It was normal for him to be upset.
He kissed her forehead. "No, I''m not going to cry. It''s only natural to have such parting moments in life."
He had witnessed too many deaths in his life. Quite a few of hisrades-in-arm had died in the
battlefield or during dangerous missions. He had never shed a tear over their deaths. Because he knew
very well that the best way to honor them would be to give them a victory, not tears.
At least, in his case, he felt that crying wouldn''t solve anything or help vent his sadness.
"Oh, you sound heartless. I bet you won''t cry when I die in front of you one day," she joked.
A dash of fear gripped his heart. He couldn''t bear to imagine such a scene. Tightening his grip on her,
he rebuked, "Don''t say such stupid things."
She chuckled. "Let''s go home."
"Mm hmm."
The sky was dark with thick clouds. It looked like it would rain very soon. Wesley drove away from the
cemetery without sparing the ce a second nce.
They returned to their normal life after that. Nobody mentioned Megan again.
Megan owned a few houses, one of which was bought for her by Wesley, and the others were all under
Carlos'' name. Frankie, Carlos'' assistant, had been in charge of Megan''s funeral affairs and he was also
taking care of her assets. He sold all of her houses, and so, arge sum of money had been
transferred to Wesley''s ount.
He wanted to take ir to D City, but Carlos invited them for a trip to a seaside resort. For some
dramatic reason, the number of people in the tour group had increased to nine in the end.
