Bye, My Ex-husband

Janessa walked toward them with contempt, staring coldly at her uncle's sophisticated face.

"Even before my mother's ashes have been brought back, you've already released the news of her death.The mourning hall has been set up without my help or say.I have no idea how to express my heartfelt gratitude."

She spoke these words through clenched teeth.

Her lips were curled into a smile that did not reach her eyes.

She looked her uncle in the eye with so much disdain.

Everyone present probably heard the mockery in her voice, but no one dared to say anything.

Her uncle's expression slowly changed.

He looked back at her with dissatisfaction, but he chose to keep his silence.

"My father is the only elder who can help with such arrangements, Janessa.And of course you are welcome."

Her cousin, who was holding her mother's arm, said these words with a smile, but her eyes fell on Rayan from time to time.

There was a hint of shyness on her face.

Janessa slightly raised her chin and glanced sidelong at her cousin.

She did not answer but sneered in her heart.

What a shameless family they were.

Fortunately, when the funeral began, they did not cause any trouble.

But the sad expression they pretended to show on their faces made Janessa sick.

She felt like if she stared longer at them, she would vomit.

When she was about to go to the graveyard with her mother's urn after the service, her aunt stopped her.

"Janessa, your uncle needs to speak with you."

She addressed her in a soft tone, and her hands were tightly clasped together in front of her as if she was expecting something.

Janessa wanted to refuse.

She had already walked out the door anyway, but ultimately, she decided to turn back and hear what her uncle had to say.

Holding her mother's ashes in her arms, she followed her aunt to the lounge to see her uncle.

When Rayan was about to follow in, a guard stopped him at the door.
