Chapter 653: No Chance Given


    The emotions of Tel and Silvia had infected all the guests in the room. With tears in their eyes, they


    watched as the coffin was buried and the tombstone was erected.


    “Please bow to the deceased… First bow… Second bow… Third bow…” The emcee’s words prompted


    everyone to bow repeatedly, bidding their respectful farewell to the departed.


    The falling snow turned the entire world white.


    Silvia knelt in the snow, embracing the tombstone, unwilling to leave. Tel knelt beside her, gazing at


    their daughter’s memorial image on the monument, crying inconsbly.


    The Heilig Family rtives couldn’t convince Tel and Silvia to leave, so they bowed in gratitude to the


    guests who attended the funeral on their behalf.


    The guests left in an orderly manner.


    Williams and Eloise wanted to stay and apany them.


    Mathew looked at Tel and Silvia, who knelt in the snow from a distance. Tel and Silvia seemed to have


    aged twenty years in that instant, their backs bent as if crushed by sorrow.


    “Freda, I will take care of Tel and Silvia from now on, ensuring their safety. You can rest assured,”


    Mathew promised in his heart, looking at the photo of Freda on the tombstone, his eyes red and teary.


    “None of those who hurt you will escape. I hope you’re happy in the other world. I’m sorry, I’m truly


    sorry for this lifetime.”


    Freda’s memorial image had a radiant smile, just as always.


    Isabe saw Mathew standing in the snow, like a statue, not leaving for a long time. Unable to resist,


    she approached him and said, “Mathew, let’s go. Let Tel and Silvia spend some more time with Freda.”


    At this moment, it didn’t matter who stayed behind. Tel and Silvia only wanted to apany Freda


    quietly…


    Apologies and guilt were useless to them…


    “Alright.”

    Finally withdrawing his gaze, Mathew left the cemetery with a heavy heart.


    “Mathew, I found a few leads rted to those peoplest night. I sent them to you on WhatsApp,”


    Isabe said, knowing that Mathew’s greatest desire was to avenge Freda personally.


    “I also received a few leads from my men. Mathew, I sent them to you,” Benjamin sent all the


    messages he had received to Mathew.


    “I found a few leads as well. I hope I can capture them all this time,” Mathew’s voice was filled with


    deep sorrow and anger. “You two should go back for now. I’ll join youter.” He wanted to stay outside


    the cemetery longer and spend more time with Freda.


    Isabe nodded and left with Benjamin. They didn’t go to the gathering but returned to the Beyond


    Vi.


    “When my parents return tonight, I’ll ask them for our grandfather’s address. I might need to go


    abroad,” Isabe volunteered.


    Benjamin gently wrapped a scarf around her neck and said, “Alright, let me know what happens.”


    “Be careful on your way back.” Isabe declined the offer of his scarf and took it off, putting it back on


    him. “It’s cold outside, but I’m home now, so I don’t need it.”


    It was the first time Benjamin had someone help him put on scarf. Looking at Isabe’s focused and


    beautiful eyes, a tender smile curved his lips.


    “Go inside quickly. It’s snowing,” Benjamin noted, “I’ll leave once you’re inside.”


    “You go first.”


    “I want to watch you go.”


    “… Fine.” In the end, Isabe couldn’t resist him. Seeing the snowfall getting heavier, she hurriedly


    walked into the vi.


    Benjamin knew she walked quickly to make him leave sooner, not wanting him to freeze…


    As Isabe reached the vi’s main building, she turned around and saw snowkes falling on


    Benjamin. Benjamin raised his hand as if saying goodbye to her.


    Isabe waved her hand in response and turned to enter the house.


    “Isabe, I’m sorry!”


    Suddenly, Cecilia appeared in front of her, bowing ny degrees sincerely. “Lisa has already punished


    me yesterday, and I know I was wrong. Spreading rumours about you behind your back was my fault.


    Please forgive my childish behaviour. I’m sorry, I will change in the future.”


    “…” Isabe looked behind Cecilia and saw that other servants were cleaning besides Scarlet. Were


    they putting on a show for them? Trying to make these servants their witnesses? To prove that she had


    apologized?


    “Well, tell me, what did you do wrong?” Isabe raised an interested gaze and looked at Cecilia.


    “I… I shouldn’t have spoken badly about you before our friends…”


    “Tell me, how did you speak badly about me?”


    “Isabe, won’t you forgive me…?” Cecilia bit her lip. “Don’t you believe that I truly know I was wrong?”


    “I find it hard to believe. Tell me, exactly what did you do wrong?”


    Cecilia wouldn’t speak of her embarrassing actions in front of the servants. She pretended to cough,


    hoping to change the topic.


    “Miss Isabe, Miss Cecilia sincerely apologizes to you… She fell illst night and hasn’t fully


    recovered yet. She has been waiting here for you since this morning… These servants can all vouch


    for her,” Scarlet chimed in.


    Cecilia coughed a few times, her face pale. “It’s alright.


    Isabe is stili upset. I need to apologize again… Isabe, what will it take for you to forgive me?”


    “I asked you what you did wrong. Didn’t you hear me?”


    Isabe’s assertive attitude made Cecilia bite her lip in frustration. It seemed as if Isabe was a fierce


    beast, and she, a little girl, was about to burst into tears.


    “You don’t dare say it. Let me say it for you.” Isabe didn’t give her the chance to put on a show and


    directly exposed her. “You told others that you’re the only daughter of this family. You broke up with


    Benjamin because the pressure of being with him was too much, and you forced Benjamin to break up


    with you. Little did you know that Benjamin had deep feelings for you, and he temporarily found me as


    a new love interest, hoping to provoke you and make you change your mind…”


    The servants couldn’t believe their ears. Could Miss Ceciliae up with such lies? How could she, an


    adopted daughter, have the audacity to say these things?


    “But Lisa personally exposed your lies, and you were afraid of losing your status, so you insincerely


    apologized to me?” Isabe looked at her indifferently. “Am I right?”


    The servants looked at Cecilia in disbelief. Cecilia could feel their fiery gazes…


    “Miss Isabe, Miss Cecilia sincerely wants to apologize to you…” Scarlet defended.


    “I asked her a question. Doesn’t Cecilia have a mouth?” Isabe nced coldly at them, like a chilling


    gust of wind.


    Miss Isabe’s imposing manner took aback the servants.


    They hadn’t expected Miss Isabe to be so formidable!


    Scarlet herself was pretty angry. Without hermitment to act out this scene, she wouldn’t have


    endured Isabe’s arrogance!


    Cecilia’s nails dug deep into her palms as she endured the humiliation, about to speak up.


    “I don’t ept your apology.” Isabe walked past her without giving her any attention…


    Cecilia looked at her retreating figure in anger. This Isabe was doing it on purpose!


    She deliberately revealed the whole story, making her aughingstock in front of the servants!


    Deliberately not forgiving her, embarrassing her!


    Deliberately using this method to demonstrate her arrogance and abilities…


    Scarlet was angry but said, “Miss Cecilia, Isabe misunderstood you. Your health hasn’t fully


    recovered yet, so you should go upstairs and rest for now. We’ll find another time to apologize to


    Isabeter…”
