Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 426 Respect the Dead

Infuriated, Ruka chided, “Quiet! Respect the dead, will you?”

Caitlyn and Reese wanted to say something, but Ruka and the Larsons were not looking too happy, so they glared at Veronica and stepped aside in silence.

Veronica stepped through the crowd and came to Tiffany’s gravestone. A line of golden words were engraved on the surface. It read, ‘Here lies Tiffany Larson.’ A black-and-white photo was placed right above that line. Tiffany was smiling sweetly in the photo; her eyes were clear and innocent.

Veronica had no idea when this photo was taken, but seeing the photo of someone that resembled herself on a gravestone was bizarre for her. She hated and envied Tiffany before, but now that she was nothing more than a pile of ashes, all that hatred disappeared. She stood before the gravestone and bowed deeply, then she placed a white lily on it before walking to the side.

The Larsons stood beside her and she was shocked to see how much they aged in one night. They were no longer the proud couple they once were. Having to witness their child die was a harrowing experience. The death of their daughter traumatized them and all the light in their life was snuffed out, leaving nothing but a husk of darkness behind.

“Uhm…” She had a lot that she wanted to say, but she could not bring herself to say it. Matthew uploaded a voice recording online months ago to prove her innocence and that recording was provided by the Larsons. As Tiffany’s parents, they should have protected her, but in the end, they gave her up to prove Veronica’s innocence.

Due to that, Veronica was still in disbelief even until this moment. Everything just screamed of a conspiracy. Still, it did not matter why they did it. Maybe they were scared of Matthew or maybe they had other reasons, but she had to thank them. She heaved a sigh and said, “My condolences.”
