“Indeed! Some people are simply born with bad intentions. Xander’s death was truly tragic; he was killed by his own niece, and there is still no closure. It’s really sad.”
“What did the police say? Are they just going to let it go like that?”
“People die, they get buried, and that’s the end of it.”
“That’s really unfair. One life lost, and Nina gets all the benefits!”
These comments caused Julia’s face to darken. “They’re crossing a line, especially considering they’re relatives. Gossiping like this!”
They rarely interacted with these relatives, only exchanging greetings on formal occasions. Julia looked at Nina and said, “Nina, don’t pay attention to their nonsense. Let’s finish paying our respects and leave. She didn’t want any trouble. If it wasn’t for Nina’s insistence, they wouldn’t have come. Nina didn’t mind, used to being talked about behind her back.
Some relatives were worse than neighbors.
She wasn’t just here to pay respects, but to uncover the person responsible behind the scenes. As they got out of the car, everyone’s gaze shifted towards them, almost questioning their audacity to show up. They walked with their heads held high; not attending would only make them look guilty.
Nina glanced at Xander’s funeral spot, his photo capturing his youthful appearance.
As they entered, Lily and Sue were seen weeping, being supported by others. Their faces looked worn and weary from the ordeal. However, upon their arrival, Lily became agitated. Her eyes were red with anger as she exclaimed, “Nina, how dare you show your face here? You’re a murderer! If it weren’t for you, Xander wouldn’t have died so tragically. Why haven’t the police arrested you, you killer!”

Before Lily could get closer to Nina, someone pulled her away. Nevertheless, Nina could still see the hatred in Lily’s eyes, blaming her for Xander’s death.
But was that truly the case?
She couldn’t comprehend why everyone was pointing fingers at her.Her uncle’s death was clearly unjust, yet no one seemed to question who was responsible. She looked at Lily and calmly said, “I’m sorry for Xander’s death, but I’m not the who caused it. You can’t just accuse me like that. I understand your grief, but we’re all grieving too, Please accept our condolences.”

Her words only intensified Lily’s fury. “Why should I accept condolences? You all stood by and watched him die! Your whole family just stood by and watched!”
She looked at Zion and said, “Zion, he was your brother, your own flesh and blood. Couldn’t you have helped him? Are you happy now that he’s dead?”
Zion stared silently at Xander’s photo.
Lily, her emotions running high, continued accusingly, “And you, Nina, if you had just shared a few pennies, this wouldn’t have even happened. Your profit means more to you than one person’s life!” Lily was on the verge of losing control as she expressed her frustration with their indifference.
In contrast, Nina remainedcomposed and rational, wanting Lily to understand the truth rather than venting her anger. “Lily, no matter how much you hate me, you need to clearly understand one thing. Unicle was murdered in a car explosion. We need to find the person responsible and bring them to justice to avenge him.”
Lily refused to believe, locking eyes with Nina and accusing her, “You’re the one responsible! You’re the culprit!”
Another relative spoke up, saying, “Nina, you’re in the wrong here. Your arrogance led to your uncle’s death. Just like Lily said, if you had lent some money, this disaster might have been avoided. Now that you uncle is gone, how will your aunt and cousin survive?”
“You can’t be so heartless!” echoed other relatives. Ads by PubFuture
“We’ve heard enough. Your family doesn’t care about us at all. Nina didn’t even invite us to her wedding. We only found out through Lily that Nina married into wealth. Once you marry into wealth, you forget your roots, huh? You don’t even acknowledge us anymore! Your family is just arrogant and disrespectful.”
