Chapter 546
Kaylee:
Everything I had done happened in anger. I was not a bad person. I had never wished harm on anyone.
Whenever I did something wrong, it was only because I was extremely angry. Otherwise, I had never wanted anything bad for anyone.
That was why, when all of this happened, I became very sad. But if seen from another side, I also felt a little relieved.
There was only one reason for that. One and only one.
I was afraid. If Kaylee had regained consciousness, she would have definitely told everyone about me. After that, it would have only harmed me.
That was why I had to pray that Kaylee would die.
So when the doctor came and delivered the news, although I was crying, my heart felt relieved.
Now no one would ever find out about my crimes.
The people I had taken revenge on, rightfully so, were now dead.
But of course, I had noticed my husband’s behavior. His attitude toward me had become unnecessarily cold.
Still, I knew he was only looking for excuses to distance himself from me.
After that, Lord Eldon fainted. Of course, his young wife had just died, and now he would have to find someone else someday.
We had already returned home. We were told that the pack members wanted to handle all the funeral preparations together.
Everyone had been invited to the funeral.
But there was one name on the invitation list that made me extremely angry.
“Why are we inviting Madeline as if this is some kind of event?” I yelled the moment Graham entered the room.
Not my bedroom. Not our bedroom. The guest room where he used to stay.
So I had come straight to the guest room now.
Now Penny was gone, but I did not expect them to look me in the eye and remind me that I had lost my children.
I mean, this family had been losing children left and right.
Graham looked at me and silently walked away.
“I’m asking you something. Don’t you think she has cursed us?” i yelled.
“First your daughter, then my children, our children, and now your father’s. Ever since she returned to our lives, everything has been a mess.”
I began to badmouth her because that was what she deserved.
A woman who played all sorts of games and did nasty things to others did not deserve my respect or anyone else’s.
However, Graham slightly turned around, stared at me, and shook his head.
There was a warning in his voice that I should not say another word about her.
“You know, my father said something,” he whispered.
My spine stiffened, wondering what the old man had said now.
“He told me how rude you have been to them. So I don’t believe that you are even slightly upset. I can tell that you’re not.”
His words struck me in the heart.
I was the most empathetic person.
So for him to say this to someone who carried nothing but empathy and love for others was truly painful. But I ignored his comments because I knew he was only saying them to divert the conversation.
“I don’t think Penny would have ever wanted Madeline at her funeral,” I remarked, reminding him how all of us had once hated Madeline.
But my husband did not seem to agree. He lowered his head and chuckled as if he could not believe what I had just said.
“No, Kaylee, he replied. “Penny loved Madeline. In the last days of her life, she spoke only good things about her So I’m pretty sure she would have wanted her there.”
Then he paused for a moment.
“However, I’m not so sure about you.”
His teeth scraped against each other, the anger clear in his body language.
The hatred toward me was evident in the judgment in his eyes.
“Now leave before I lose my mind,” he warned.
Tears spilled from my eyes as I watched him and shook my head in disbelief.
He was really going too far now.
I turned on my heels and decided to go to Lord Eldon’s room and tell him what his son was doing.
That he was using Penny’s death as an excuse to see Madeline again.
It had been a few days, but when I
entered Lord Eldon’s room, I saw ét
him sitting on the bed, holding
Pengy’s clothes and hugging them
tightly.

I had to admit that if he had loved his first wife that much, he would have had a more
stable and functioning family by now.
“Lord Eldon, I came here to see you,” I said softly, reaching for the edge of the bed and sitting down.
He did not respond.
He was simply staring into the distance.
“Just so you know, we are here for you,” I added.
However, once again, he remained silent.
I began to shift anxiously in my seat.
“But do you know what your son is doing? He has invited Madeline to the funeral,” I
said clearly.
For the first time, he snapped out of his thoughts and looked at me.
“Get out.”
His words stung.
My eyes widened in shock.
“You heard me. Get the fuck out of
here. You’re not here to check on
me. You’re
of
here to badmouth
Madeline.” His eyes started to turn red from genuine anger.
“And yes, my son did the right thing. My wife would have wanted that gentle soul
there.”
Gentle soul?
“You heard me. Now go, and do not make this funeral about yourself.” he grunted.
“If you disrespect Madeline at this funeral, Kaylee, and start a scene, I will kick you out of my home myself.”
The old man had gone completely crazy.
The way he started screaming at me for Madeline, I could not understand what was happening.
Why was suddenly everyone on Madeline’s side?
Was doomsday arriving?
