Honey, You're a Billionaire? novel Chapter 358

At this moment, as everyone's attention was focused on the white cloth, Kelly knew that no one had noticed her. She quickly wiped the joy off her face. As Oliver's granddaughter, Kelly naturally had to act devastated.

"What… What happened?" Kelly asked in a trembling voice. She looked uneasy.

Everyone turned around upon hearing her voice. Kelly stared straight ahead and pretended to be in shock. Her steps were unsteady as she walked over, threatening to fall at any moment.

She really was an actress. While Miles couldn't conceal the glint in his eyes, Gabriel, who was not in the crowd, simply sneered. He saw through Kelly's act from the start. He even noticed the change in her expression.

Even though Gabriel had seen many sinister things, he was still shocked by Kelly's sorrowful act. He wanted to see what Kelly would do next. Kelly had no idea that the play she was putting on had turned into such a spectacle.

The crowd instinctively parted when they saw her. As they did so, Kelly saw the person lying on the ground covered by the white cloth. Although the cloth concealed his body, his hand was exposed. The watch on the hand was the one Oliver often wore. It was Oliver!

"Is it… Grandpa?" Kelly seemed to be in disbelief. She stumbled forward but stopped a few steps away from Oliver's body. Although she was aware of how Oliver died, she had to keep up the act.

As if unable to bear the sight, Kelly trembled and collapsed onto the ground. She cried out in sorrow, "Grandpa! How could this happen?"

She repeated the question over and over as if prompting a response from the audience. In a panic, Kelly looked around and searched for Gabriel. She saw him standing some distance away from the crowd.

"Gabriel! What happened? Didn't you go looking for him last night? How did this happen?" She started sobbing as she continued, "It was all my fault. I shouldn't have been afraid because of that one person..."

Kelly's cries sounded like she genuinely blamed herself. If he didn't know the truth, even Gabriel might have believed her performance. But unfortunately, he did.

Gabriel hesitated for a moment before approaching her. He said, "We searched for a long time. It wasn't until dawn that we found Grandpa's body floating over there." Gabriel pointed to a huge rocky cliff on the mountain's face not far away.

Following the direction of his finger, Kelly realized something. It seemed like the man had brought Oliver there and tossed him into the sea. There were many protruding rocks under the cliff. It would certainly be unpleasant for someone to fall like that.

"Kelly, I know this is hard for you to accept, but you're his granddaughter. You should see him one last time…"

As Gabriel spoke, he began walking toward the "corpse" and reached out to lift the cloth covering it. He wanted to let Kelly see Oliver one last time to soothe her grieving heart.

But as soon as he touched the white cloth, Kelly hurriedly interrupted him. "No!"

Gabriel's hand froze and he looked at Kelly. Even though he already knew the answer, he asked, "You… don't want to see your grandfather?"

It wasn't that she didn't want to see him. She was afraid to see him. Oliver must've looked miserable, and Kelly was afraid she would have nightmares if she saw his body. Her mind refused, and her body followed suit.

However, she also realized that if she didn't look, the sorrow and sadness she displayed just moments ago would lose its impact. Her "no" earlier had already raised suspicion. How was she going to cover that?

Suddenly, Kelly thought of the butler. She silently sat on the ground, looking limp. She made it seem like she wanted to get up and get closer to Oliver.
