Chased Her Around After Breaking off His Engagement

Chapter 653: No Chance Given 

The emotions of Tel and Silvia had infected all the guests in the room. With tears in their eyes, they watched as the coffin was buried and the tombstone was erected.

“Please bow to the deceased… First bow… Second bow… Third bow…” The emcee’s words prompted everyone to bow repeatedly, bidding their respectful farewell to the departed.

The falling snow turned the entire world white.

Silvia knelt in the snow, embracing the tombstone, unwilling to leave. Tel knelt beside her, gazing at their daughter’s memorial image on the monument, crying inconsolably.

The Heilig Family relatives couldn’t convince Tel and Silvia to leave, so they bowed in gratitude to the guests who attended the funeral on their behalf.

The guests left in an orderly manner.

Williams and Eloise wanted to stay and accompany them.

Mathew looked at Tel and Silvia, who knelt in the snow from a distance. Tel and Silvia seemed to have aged twenty years in that instant, their backs bent as if crushed by sorrow.

“Freda, I will take care of Tel and Silvia from now on, ensuring their safety. You can rest assured,” Mathew promised in his heart, looking at the photo of Freda on the tombstone, his eyes red and teary. “None of those who hurt you will escape. I hope you’re happy in the other world. I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry for this lifetime.”

Freda’s memorial image had a radiant smile, just as always.

Isabella saw Mathew standing in the snow, like a statue, not leaving for a long time. Unable to resist, she approached him and said, “Mathew, let’s go. Let Tel and Silvia spend some more time with Freda.”

At this moment, it didn’t matter who stayed behind. Tel and Silvia only wanted to accompany Freda quietly…

Apologies and guilt were useless to them…

“Alright.”

Finally withdrawing his gaze, Mathew left the cemetery with a heavy heart.

“Mathew, I found a few leads related to those people last night. I sent them to you on WhatsApp,” Isabella said, knowing that Mathew’s greatest desire was to avenge Freda personally.

“I also received a few leads from my men. Mathew, I sent them to you,” Benjamin sent all the messages he had received to Mathew.

“I found a few leads as well. I hope I can capture them all this time,” Mathew’s voice was filled with deep sorrow and anger. “You two should go back for now. I’ll join you later.” He wanted to stay outside the cemetery longer and spend more time with Freda.

Isabella nodded and left with Benjamin. They didn’t go to the gathering but returned to the Beyond Villa.

“When my parents return tonight, I’ll ask them for our grandfather’s address. I might need to go abroad,” Isabella volunteered.

Benjamin gently wrapped a scarf around her neck and said, “Alright, let me know what happens.”

“Be careful on your way back.” Isabella declined the offer of his scarf and took it off, putting it back on him. “It’s cold outside, but I’m home now, so I don’t need it.”

It was the first time Benjamin had someone help him put on scarf. Looking at Isabella’s focused and beautiful eyes, a tender smile curved his lips.

“Go inside quickly. It’s snowing,” Benjamin noted, “I’ll leave once you’re inside.”

“You go first.”

“I want to watch you go.”

“… Fine.” In the end, Isabella couldn’t resist him. Seeing the snowfall getting heavier, she hurriedly walked into the villa.

Benjamin knew she walked quickly to make him leave sooner, not wanting him to freeze…

As Isabella reached the villa’s main building, she turned around and saw snowflakes falling on Benjamin. Benjamin raised his hand as if saying goodbye to her.

Isabella waved her hand in response and turned to enter the house.

“Isabella, I’m sorry!”

Suddenly, Cecilia appeared in front of her, bowing ninety degrees sincerely. “Lisa has already punished me yesterday, and I know I was wrong. Spreading rumours about you behind your back was my fault. Please forgive my childish behaviour. I’m sorry, I will change in the future.”

“…” Isabella looked behind Cecilia and saw that other servants were cleaning besides Scarlet. Were they putting on a show for them? Trying to make these servants their witnesses? To prove that she had apologized?

“Well, tell me, what did you do wrong?” Isabella raised an interested gaze and looked at Cecilia.

“I… I shouldn’t have spoken badly about you before our friends…”

“Tell me, how did you speak badly about me?”

“Isabella, won’t you forgive me…?” Cecilia bit her lip. “Don’t you believe that I truly know I was wrong?”

“I find it hard to believe. Tell me, exactly what did you do wrong?”

Cecilia wouldn’t speak of her embarrassing actions in front of the servants. She pretended to cough, hoping to change the topic.

“Miss Isabella, Miss Cecilia sincerely apologizes to you… She fell ill last night and hasn’t fully recovered yet. She has been waiting here for you since this morning… These servants can all vouch for her,” Scarlet chimed in. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Cecilia coughed a few times, her face pale. “It’s alright.

Isabella is stili upset. I need to apologize again… Isabella, what will it take for you to forgive me?”

“I asked you what you did wrong. Didn’t you hear me?”

Isabella’s assertive attitude made Cecilia bite her lip in frustration. It seemed as if Isabella was a fierce beast, and she, a little girl, was about to burst into tears.

“You don’t dare say it. Let me say it for you.” Isabella didn’t give her the chance to put on a show and directly exposed her. “You told others that you’re the only daughter of this family. You broke up with Benjamin because the pressure of being with him was too much, and you forced Benjamin to break up with you. Little did you know that Benjamin had deep feelings for you, and he temporarily found me as a new love interest, hoping to provoke you and make you change your mind…”

The servants couldn’t believe their ears. Could Miss Cecilia come up with such lies? How could she, an adopted daughter, have the audacity to say these things?

“But Lisa personally exposed your lies, and you were afraid of losing your status, so you insincerely apologized to me?” Isabella looked at her indifferently. “Am I right?”

The servants looked at Cecilia in disbelief. Cecilia could feel their fiery gazes…

“Miss Isabella, Miss Cecilia sincerely wants to apologize to you…” Scarlet defended.

“I asked her a question. Doesn’t Cecilia have a mouth?” Isabella glanced coldly at them, like a chilling gust of wind.

Miss Isabella’s imposing manner took aback the servants.

They hadn’t expected Miss Isabella to be so formidable!

Scarlet herself was pretty angry. Without her commitment to act out this scene, she wouldn’t have endured Isabella’s arrogance!

Cecilia’s nails dug deep into her palms as she endured the humiliation, about to speak up.

“I don’t accept your apology.” Isabella walked past her without giving her any attention…

Cecilia looked at her retreating figure in anger. This Isabella was doing it on purpose!

She deliberately revealed the whole story, making her a laughingstock in front of the servants!

Deliberately not forgiving her, embarrassing her!

Deliberately using this method to demonstrate her arrogance and abilities…

Scarlet was angry but said, “Miss Cecilia, Isabella misunderstood you. Your health hasn’t fully recovered yet, so you should go upstairs and rest for now. We’ll find another time to apologize to Isabella later…”
