“Yes, Mr Lisa,” Scarlet replied with a lowered head. Though she felt reluctant, she didn’t dare to argue at that moment.

“Cecilia always listened to you since she was young. The way forward depended on your guidance.” Mr Lisa said.

“I will guide her well, Mr Lisa,” Scarlet assured.

Lisa was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

“Isa is my biological sister,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Scarlet felt even more uneasy.

“Don’t cause her any more trouble in the future,” Lisa added.

“Yes…” Scarlet hadn’t expected Mr Lisa to say such words. As she watched his figure walking away, her anger grew.

Who was causing trouble for whom?

The thought of making Miss Cecilia apologize to Isabella the next day filled Scarlet with intense anger and heartache.

The next morning.

Isabella discovered a message she had received from Silvia–Freda’s mother, the previous night.

“Isa, thank you for doing everything you could to save Freda. Today was her funeral. Did you come?” Silvia asked.

“Yes,” Isabella quickly replied.

“Freda liked you a lot when she was alive. I believe she would have been pleased to have you accompany her on her final journey,” Silvia expressed.

Isabella thought of replying with just one word, “Condolences.” But the loss of a beloved daughter could not be comforted with just two simple words.
