Surna Xu, woman.
Directly engraved with Rachel Shaw’s na.
Damien Lancaster’s face suddenly turned icy and terrifying.
Noah Scott glanced at him, his eyes full of mocking coldness, "Another of your people’s good deeds."
Without a word, Damien Lancaster turned and walked towards the door.
Julian Jacobs imdiately followed, when it cos to recklessness, Rachel Shaw ranks first, no one dares to claim second.
"Julian."
"I’m here." Julian Jacobs imdiately stood by Damien Lancaster, awaiting orders.
"Send soone to bring back Rachel Shaw. I’ll deal with her after handling these matters." Damien Lancaster’s voice was cold without a trace of warmth, sending a shiver through Julian Jacobs.
"Yes, and now?"
"Return ho."
Black Butcher saw Damien Lancaster leave, but Noah Scott remained, shivering as he looked at Noah Scott and asked, "Lord Scott, Lord Scott, I’ve confessed everything I should, please... please spare ..."
Noah Scott looked at his own bloodstained hand, his gaze sweeping over him, fixing on him like a devil, "Do you know the consequences of touching my people?"
"I... I didn’t know that lady was yours, if I had known, even if you gave 800 guts, I wouldn’t dare..."
"It’s alright, it’s not too late to know now, confess well in the underworld." Noah Scott patted Black Butcher’s shoulder, stood up, and slowly walked out.
Black Butcher’s eyes widened, slumping to the ground in despair.
Noah Scott walked out, standing at the doorway, Yanis Stone imdiately handed over a handkerchief.
Noah Scott calmly wiped his fingers, dropped the phrase, "Burn it," and left straight away.
...
Aethelgard, hospital.
At the mont, Zachary Lancaster, following Damien Lancaster’s instructions, stood guard by Ivy Sumrs’s side without leaving.
Ivy Sumrs remained icy cold, staring out the window without a word.
Zachary Lancaster looked out the window repeatedly, unable to grasp what Ivy Sumrs was seeing.
"You don’t have to stay here watching , rest assured, I won’t commit suicide before your brother dies."
Ivy Sumrs’s words sent a chill down Zachary Lancaster’s spine. After pondering, he advised, "Sister-in-law, my brother indeed made a mistake in this matter, but considering from his position, he was also forced at that ti."
"Am I a saint? Why should I consider his position? Why should I use his forced reason to comfort myself?"
Zachary Lancaster scratched the back of his head, finding himself at a loss for words.
Looking at Ivy Sumrs’s seemingly calm face.
Yet he always felt an indescribable murderous aura emanating from her.
Zachary Lancaster shivered unexpectedly.
Ella Morgan entered, glancing at Zachary Lancaster, "Get out, you Lancaster Family mbers are not worthy of being here."
Ella Morgan pushed Zachary Lancaster out, who hurriedly said, "I’m here on behalf of my brother to see my sister-in-law..."
"Who wants you to see her? Will her wounds heal if you see her? Will Sophie co back? Get out! Get out!"
With a shove, Ella Morgan slamd the door shut.
Zachary Lancaster was left in an embarrassing situation.
Ella Morgan ca to Ivy Sumrs, "Ivy, the Lancaster Family found , they said... they want to hold a funeral for Sophie."
Ivy Sumrs’s hands on her knees contracted violently, her eyes, like a dead pool, shifted slightly.
After a long ti, Ella Morgan heard Ivy Sumrs speak without a trace of vitality, "They don’t need to arrange the funeral, I’ll do it myself, but every mber of the Lancaster Family must be there."
Ella Morgan thought Ivy Sumrs would not accept the funeral or the fact of Sophie’s death.
But now, she seed to have forced herself to accept it.
Ella Morgan’s eyes reddened, nodding with a choked voice, "Alright, I’ll tell them."
Ivy Sumrs lowered her head, looking at the pink coat in front of her, her pale face filled with pain, and slowly, she said, "Sophie, Mommy will definitely avenge you."
The kidnappers were already dead, but the two truly responsible for Sophie’s death were still alive.
On his way to the airport, Damien Lancaster’s phone buzzed, receiving a text from Zachary Lancaster.
[Bro, be careful, I feel my sister-in-law is very dangerous right now.]
[Before she calms down, it’s best not to appear in front of her.]
Then he received a ssage from Seraphina Kennedy.
[Damien, Ella says they’re planning Sophie’s funeral for the day after tomorrow, I’ve thought it over, you better not attend.]
Damien Lancaster glanced at it but didn’t reply, his aura gloomy to the point that no one in the car dared to breathe.
At that mont, a call ca in.
It was from Ivy Sumrs!
Damien Lancaster hesitated for a second, softening his voice upon answering, "Hello."
Ivy Sumrs’s voice was emotionless, "Go to court tomorrow."
Damien Lancaster was silent.
His expression becoming even grimr, yet he had no reason to refuse.
After a long pause, Damien Lancaster said, "Alright."
Ivy Sumrs hung up, unwilling to speak another word to him.
Damien Lancaster put down the phone, pressing hard on his throbbing temple.
Ultimately, he was wrong.
Ultimately, he promised Sophie.
He caused the death of a five-year-old life, what right did he have to refuse?
In the evening, Ella Morgan brought Nathan and Leo to accompany Ivy Sumrs, hoping the two kids could alleviate so of Ivy Sumrs’s pain.
Nathan and Leo already knew the news that Sophie was gone.
Ella Morgan originally wanted to hide it from them, but the two little ones, unable to reach Sophie, quickly understood sothing was wrong.
Nathan and Leo’s eyes were swollen like walnuts; when they approached Ivy Sumrs, the tears they had managed to hold back before imdiately erged again.
Nathan, "Mommy."
Ivy Sumrs slightly moved her eyes, looking down at the two little ones, attempted to speak, but the words got caught in her throat.
Nathan and Leo threw themselves into Ivy Sumrs’s arms, their suppressed emotions pouring out abruptly, sobbing bitterly in Ivy Sumrs’s arms.
Leo choked out in distress, "Mommy... Sister... Sister, she..."
Ivy Sumrs raised her hand, placing it on the heads of the little ones, gently patting, and struggled to speak, "Sister... she’s gone..."
"Who is it, who killed Sister, I want to kill him!" Leo’s voice was full of anger, "Even though Leo is weak now, when Leo grows up, he won’t spare him, Leo will avenge Sister."
Ivy Sumrs closed her eyes tightly, "You don’t need to seek vengeance, you just need to live well, healthily, carrying your sister’s share, the rest Mommy will do."
From Ivy Sumrs’s words, Nathan sensed sothing unusual, "Mommy? What are you planning to do?"
Ivy Sumrs gently patted Nathan’s back, knowing he was smart, able to sense her aning, "Nathan, you’re more understanding than Leo, you need to take care of Leo from now on."
Nathan clung tightly to Ivy Sumrs, "Mommy, don’t do anything foolish, Sister is gone, we don’t want anything to happen to you too, Mommy, I’m begging you."
Tears stread down Ivy Sumrs’s face, "Silly child, Mommy won’t do anything foolish."
The three of them cried together, with Ella Morgan silently shedding tears in the back.
...
The next day, Damien Lancaster waited for Ivy Sumrs at the door of Ivy Sumrs’s hospital room.
Today they were going to court for a divorce.
Ivy Sumrs changed her clothes and silently walked out.
Damien Lancaster reached out to support her, "Be careful."
Ivy Sumrs coldly shook him off, "Keep your cheap concern, I don’t need it."
Damien Lancaster paused, and Ivy Sumrs had already walked past him.
They descended the stairs, and the car headed straight to the court.
Court divorce proceedings require reasonable grounds, a divorce agreent, and mutual consent to divorce imdiately, without a thirty-day waiting period.
