Nina knew very well that this person had contact with them all. After Lily vented her emotions, she calmly asked, “At the scene where Xander abducted me that day, there was another person, a woman. She didn’t want me to recognize her, so she altered her voice. You framed me. I already know someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes. Another person was present during my abduction, and I suspect it’s the same person. To uncover who killed Xander, we have to rely on your identification!”

“Nonsense, pure nonsense, it’s impossible!” Lily didn’t believe it. “You’re just trying to absolve yourself and lessen your guilt!”

Lily’s refusal to accept reality was evident. She couldn’t bear to admit that Nina’s kidnapping led to this dire situation. Instead, she shifted all blame onto Nina, absolving themselves of any responsibility. Nina’s words were clear: “Think carefully for yourself. Is Xander’s death worth it? If not, tell me who that woman is. I won’t let her off the hook!”

These words also reached Sue’s ears. She pondered over Nina’s words, her face turning pale, and she seemed somewhat unsettled.

Nina left.

Enraged, Lily overturned the table.

Startled, Sue exclaimed, “Mom, what are you doing?”

With teary eyes, Lily replied, “She said there’s someone else who killed your father. She’s just trying to absolve herself of blame. They have ulterior motives!” Finishing her words, Lily burst into tears again.

Sue hugged her, saying, “Mom, don’t be like this. Dad wouldn’t want you to be like this, even in spirit.”

The final day of the funeral arrived.

Drizzle fell from the sky, adding to the already somber atmosphere. Everyone dressed in dark clothing.

Xander was buried next to Nina’s

grandparents tombstone. Julia and Zion stood together, and Zion’s eyes were red but he remained silent. Only Lily and her daughter cried uncontrollably, clinging to Xander’s tombstone, unable to rise from their

knees.

No one was more grief-stricken than them. Nina also felt emotional; after all, he was her own uncle. When people say someone is gone, they’re really gone.

After the funeral, people started to

leave one by one. Lily and her

daughter were too overwhelmed with tears, to stand. Out of courtesy, Nina bid farewell to the mourners one by one. After seeing off the last group, she suddenly felt a chill down her back, sensing that someone was watching her.

The sixth sense always came on strong. Nina looked around and

Nina’s expression turned ugly, instantly growing cold. How dare she come here! She hurried over and called out, “Linda.”

Linda looked at Nina, smiling, “Nina, what a coincidence, running into you here.”

Her demeanor was already indifferent, and Nina asked coldly, “Coincidence? Wasn’t it intentional for you to come here?”

“Nina, what are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Linda pretended not to comprehend, then glanced at the mourners crying inside, “Nina, who died? Is this person your relative?” Linda’s lips curved slightly, deliberately saying such things in front of Nina.

Nina clenched her fists, unable to restrain herself, and slapped Linda across the face, “I underestimated you. I didn’t realize you were so malicious!”
