Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 512
In front of the funeral parlor.
A funeral was being held in a low-profile manner.
Dressed in black suits, Shaun and Chester came out of the car and walked into the parlor.
They did not notice that someone was watching them with a triumphant look in a black car a short distance away. It was Rebecca, who had managed to run away.
‘Hehe. Luckily, I secretly brought Shelley back in advance. You guys would never have thought that I’ve been impersonating Shelley, right?’
Rebecca grinned from ear to ear. ‘Shaun, Catherine, think about all the harm you guys have caused me. I’ll put you through hell.’
“You did a great job,” the man in the passenger seat said nonchalantly, “Shelley is dead, whereas Charity is in jail. Furthermore, Shaun, Catherine, and the Snow family are in conflict. Everything has turned out much better than what I imagined.”
Rebecca touched her face. “Having said that, this face can’t be used for the time being…”
“Go overseas for now. You’ll still be of some use.” The man snapped his fingers and asked the driver to start the car.
When Shaun reached the door, he suddenly turned around and caught sight of the black car leaving.
“What’s wrong?” Chester asked.
Shaun frowned. “It felt like someone was keeping an eye on us just now.”
“With your status, isn’t it normal for people to keep an eye on you?”
“…Let’s go.”
Shaun turned around.
As soon as he stepped into the parlor, he met Rodney who was paying his respects. Rodney looked away after he shot an icy glare at Shaun.
Chester went forward to pay his respects, while Shaun walked forward and lamented Shelley’s death in silence.
“Sa-Sarah, are you a ghost? Are you on duty today to take Shelley away?” Rodney stammered with reddened eyes.
Sarah gave a faint smile while looking at him. “Rodney, you’re still as amusing as ever.”
Chester could not help but ask in agitation, “Sarah, aren’t you already dead? Why are you…”
“Sorry, I deceived you guys. Actually, I’m still alive, but I… I couldn’t return for reasons I can’t say.” A look of dejection and helplessness crossed her pretty face.
“What stopped you from returning?” Rodney asked concernedly, “Do you know that everyone thought you were dead? Over these years, we were heartbroken, especially Shaun. He almost broke down…”
Shaun continued to remain silent as he was struck dumb.
Sarah threw a glance at him with tears welling in her eyes. “Sorry, I had my reasons for not returning.”
“What could it be that you had to fake your death out there for years and couldn’t let us know?” Rodney asked angrily.
