Chapter 448

Camren could not help but sigh as he looked at Brian, the former genius of the business world, lying on the bed with no color on his face.
He had noticed Brian’s feelings for Grace. Back when Brian was searching for Grace all over the world, he knew that Grace was very important to Brian.
Actually, he didn’t even feel sorry for Brian. On one hand, Brian couldn’t let go of Grace, and on the other hand, he wanted to marry Louise. It was no way he could be with two women at the same time.
Now that things had come to this, Camren could only shake his head.
He then stayed with Brian in the room and waited for him to wake up.
Brian had a dream. In the dream, Grace smiled gently at him. The dream was very real as if he had returned to the days before Louise returned.
When he woke up, his expression was very calm. Other than his face being a little pale, there was no emotion in his eyes.
Camren asked worriedly, “Mr. Francis, how do you feel?”
Brian sat up and said hoarsely, “I’m fine.”
He got up and calmly washed up. Then, he changed into clean clothes and called Camren to his study. “Ava was killed. I don’t believe Grace did it. Find out who Ava saw before she went to the park. There must be more to this than meets the eye. There might be a bigger secret behind it.’
Camren did not expect Brian to pull himself together so quickly. He was slightly surprised for a moment before nodding. “Alright, Mr. Francis. I’ll check it out now.”
Brian added, “Also, don’t alert the enemy.”
*****
At the Adkins family, Shannon sat in Ava’s room and looked at the photos on the table. Tears kept pouring out like a flood breaking a dam. She hugged the photo of Ava and cried her heart out.
A servant knocked on the door. Shannon wiped her tears and said, “Come in.”
The servant came in with a cardboard box. “Madam, this is the box you wanted.”
“Leave it there. Get out.” Shannon reluctantly put down Ava’s photo Then, she opened the drawer, took out her things one by one, and placed them in the box.
After packing up the things on the table, she went to Ava’s bed. There were still dolls on the bed that Ava liked to hug when she slept. She
placed the dolls in the box
Just as she removed the doll, she saw the corner of a letter peeking out from under the pillow.
Shannon removed the pillow and took out the letter.
There was nothing written on the envelope. Doubts flashed through Shannon’s mind. She was about to open it when the doorknob suddenly turned. Shannon instinctively put the letter back. She looked up and saw Louise standing at the door.
With a smile on her face, she walked towards Shannon.
Shannon’s gaze turned cold. “What are you doing here?”
Louise was stunned for a moment before she smiled. “Shannon, I know you’re sad, but we’re family after all. Do you have to shout at me like that?” Shannon knew that she was threatening her.
Now that Ava was dead, Louise naturally became the Adkins family’s only heir. In this family, Shannon’s status had become less significant. She took a deep breath and softened her tone. “I overreacted. Why did you come in?”
Ye
Her attitude made Louise smile in satisfaction. She lowered her head and glanced at Ava’s belongings in ̧ the box. In a few days, I’ll have to discuss my marriage with Brian’s mother. Previously, because Ava suddenly passed away, the wedding had to be postponed. Now, the matter should come to an end.”
