Chapter 97
“It’s Felicia again!” Myra grumbled inwardly.
She was extremely frustrated. Previously, Felicia had overpowered Kayla and slapped her repeatedly in the car just because of what Kayla had said.
Myra felt that Felicia must have caused the injury on Kayla’s forehead this time over some measly issues again.
It made her wonder what she had done wrong to be given such an impulsive, troublemaker daughter.
Myra was about to scold Felicia, but Sebastian stopped her just in time. “Mom, we just arrived. We have no idea what’s going on. How are you even certain that Felicia is the one at fault?” Anyone could tell that there was an unusual atmosphere in the Walsh residence. Something serious must have happened. Otherwise, Clive would not have gathered all of them here. However, from Myra’s perspective, Felicia must have caused trouble at the Walsh residence
She was so irked. Even though she tried to suppress her frustration, Myra could not help saying, “Sebastian, you don’t know Felicia that well. She’s very hot-tempered. This isn’t her first time hitting Kayla.” Sebastian replied in a cold, indifferent tone, “Mom, do you know Felicia that well then?”
“…
She was struck speechless.
He had a point. Although they were related by blood, none of them knew Felicia well enough, including Sebastian and Myra themselves.
Kayla felt sad, so she asked in a low voice, “Sebastian, am I not your sister too?”
“No.”
“Sebastian…”
She was in utter disbelief.
Sebastian realized how misleading his response sounded. He explained, “What I mean to say is you’re my sister and so is Felicia.”
“However…” He took a pause with a steely look. Even if I’m your brother, I won’t blindly take sides.”
Whether it was his biological sister or the sister he grew up with, Sebastian would treat both of them equally and not show a particular person more favor. He would make his judgments Chap 202
according to facts.
T
If they were to think deeper about his words, he was also implying that he would not condone or tolerate if any one of them committed a mistake.
“Anyhow… it sounds like a warning to me, no matter how I think about it,” Kayla thought.
She was very displeased inwardly. Still, she knew better than to fight with Sebastian over this.
After all, Sebastian had always been like this. He might appear gentle and mild-tempered. However, he was never one to be friends with others easily. It was as though he had put up a wall around him.
Kayla acted as if she was completely oblivious. She said innocently, “You gave me quite a fright! I thought you were trying to cut ties with me, Sebastian.”
Sebastian did not say anything. His gaze fell on Felicia, who stood somewhere a bit further away from the crowd.
All this time, she sat silently on a chair and stared at her hands with her head lowered. It was impossible to tell what was going through her head..
She still had blood on her hands-blood from Roberta’s body.
There was a fine ray of light left as the sun was about to set. Eventually, it was completely dark
outside.
Clive made an appearance just then.
He had everyone move to a quiet part of the courtyard, where the area had been nicely. decorated. People could see the white flowers almost everywhere.
A person lay quietly amid those flowers.
It was Roberta.
Everyone was shocked to see the sight before them. Jake was the first to break the silence. He was flabbergasted.
“Isn’t that Roberta? She seemed fine when I saw her yesterday. Why is she now…”
Everyone turned their eyes to Harvey, who was Roberta’s father.
Harvey reeked of alcohol, and there were lipstick stains left on the collar of his shirt. It was obvious he was meeting another woman when they summoned him to the house. He was still in a daze after seeing Roberta’s body. He asked, “What happened?”
