Chapter 884

“Where is Cathy, Felipe?” Madeline pressed on, but Felipe had already left.

Watching him drive away, Madeline decided to search the manor for traces of Cathy. She even went to the basement, but Cathy was nowhere to be found.

Confused, she went to ask the servants, but none of them were certain themselves.

Madeline arrived at Cathy’s room and found a photo collage open on her bed. It was filled with pictures she had taken from the past. It looked like it had just been flipped through.

Had Felipe been looking at it?

Curious, she took up the photo collage only to find a piece of paper squashed under it.

“Certificate of cremation?”

Madeline’s heart lurched.

Reading it, she saw Cathy’s name, followed by Felipe’s signature at the very bottom.

Cathy was dead?!

…

Jeremy thought that Madeline was resting in the hotel the entire time he brought Lillian out for a walk, so he was surprised to not see her when they returned to their room.

He put his daughter to sleep and was about to call Madeline when the doors opened.

“Where have you been, Linnie?” Jeremy grabbed her hand worriedly as he took in her pale complexion.

“Are you not feeling well? Does it hurt somewhere? How about we just give this child up, Linnie? I’m happy with just Jack and Lily.”

Madeline raised her misty eyes to look at the concerned man. “Cathy’s dead.”

Jeremy’s expression changed drastically. “Cathy’s dead?”

Madeline passed the certificate of cremation to Jeremy who frowned as he read it. “It must have been Felipe. This doesn’t make any sense, though. Cathy was alright the other day.”

“How could Felipe be so cruel? Cathy met him when she was just 15. She has been by his side for over ten years. How could he have the heart to hurt her?” Madeline cried as her heart clenched.

Jeremy wiped off the tears from her eyes and pulled her into his arms. “I’ll gain justice for Cathy. I won’t let her die like this.”

He let go of her. “Take care of Lillian. I’ll go look for him.”

Madeline pulled him back. “Be careful, you’re still hurt.”

Jeremy placed his hands on both of Madeline’s cheeks, kissing her deeply on the lips. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to me. I’ll come back to you and the kids.”

Jeremy’s first act was to call Felipe when he left the hotel room, but Felipe’s phone was turned off.

He went to find Fabian for intel instead.

Fabian was shocked when he heard about Cathy’s death, but he told Jeremy, “A woman was shot dead in front of the police station two days ago. Could that have been Cathy?”

He passed him an image of a woman lying in a pool of blood.

Jeremy immediately recognized that woman to be Cathy.

Shot dead.

How much hatred could one bear to do such a thing?

Cathy did not deserve this, and Jeremy felt his heart hurt for her. “Help me search for Felipe.”

Fabian was reluctant but agreed anyway. “I’m only doing this for you because of Lillian.”

Jeremy was still pondering about what Fabian meant when Felipe was found.

Cemetery.

Standing alone in front of Cathy’s tomb, Felipe was ice-cold despite the bright sun shining above.

He held the red string in his hand as he waited for a reply.

Just then, his phone buzzed.

His fingers trembled in fear of what the results would tell.

After a while, he swiped to answer the call. “How is it?”

The reply he received shot through his heart like a thousand arrows…
