Chapter 1158
Chapter 1158
Hackett had the media in his pocket, but he was no match for the Laurence Group. So, his next best move was to lay low and
place all the blame on Karan In a flash, Karan became public enemy number one. The Howell family seized the opportunity to
pressure Hackett into giving Karan the boot
Hackett still had a soft spot for her, he was tom, he didn’t know what to do until the cops came knocking, hauling Karan off. It
was then he realized, she had killed her own cousin‘
As Karan was being taken away, she fell at Hackett’s feel, clutching onto his pants, weeping desperately. “Help me, I didn’t kill
anyone, tell them to let me go...
Hackett was shell shocked. He looked down at the sobbing woman whose face was distorted with pain. He couldn’t believe that
beneath her gentle exterior lied such a ruthless heart. She’d killed her own cousin for an inheritance that was already within her
grasp and even got Tyler killed in the process
It was only then that he saw Karan for who she really was. He didn’t say a word, he just bent down, slowly prying her clutching
hands off, then let the cops take her
away
Seeing Hackett wouldn’t save her, Karan started cursing up a storm, her words so filthy it would make a sailor blush. She even
started ragging on Hackett’s parents.
In the end, Karan started playing the blame game, “Don’t just arrest me, nab that bitch Liana too. She killed Tyler, she’s the one
who killed Tyler, why are you only coming after me, why not her!”
The cops didn’t pay any heed to her, they just shoved her into the cop car, slammed the door and drove off. From then on,
Karan’s dirty laundry was aired out for all the city to see, became the talk of the town, the juicy gossip people chewed on over
their meals.
Every time the Howell family’s mistress was brought up, people would sigh and mention the eldest son of the Howell family. The
laughter would turn into a sigh: “Poor Tyler, he was such a skilled doctor, what a shame he had to die like that”
In the end, people stopped blaming Tyler for being unfilial, his reputation restored. But he himself, he could never come back.
After Karan got locked up. Liana visited Tyler’s grave. She held onto the tombstone, crouching down, looking at the empty grave,
her heart aching Every other grave had a picture, but not Tyler’s. Who would have thought that behind the grand funeral was
such cold and desolate reality.
She touched Tyler’s name, each touch an apology in her heart. She looked at the poor quality tombstone and whispered, “I’ve
turned down Will, I won’t marry him,
you... can rest in peace...
What he feared most was her marrying Will. While he was alive, she did not follow his wishes, only after he had passed, she
decided to fulfill this wish of his, even though it was meaningless now.
Liana opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn’t find the right words. If she said love, did she still love him? If
she said she didn’t love him, why was she sad? If she said forgiveness, he had once been violent towards her. If she said she
couldn’t forgive him, he hadn’t done anything to deserve death.
Liana felt torn inside, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts, she didn’t even know how much pain she was in
All she knew was she couldn’t sleep, she relied on drugs to forget that she had shot Tyler, and the sight of Tyler bleeding out,
waiting to die. Even though every day was painful, she thought she could hang in there. After all, their hatred for each other was
the main thing between them, but...
Liana lowered her gaze, remembering how Tyler had protected her till his last breath. The pain in her heart became a virus
invasion, so intense she wished she could die. As she clutched her chest in agony, Damien walked up from behind.
“Liana.”
Hearing his voice, Liana quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up and turned to look at Damien who had already
approached her. Liana didn’t say anything. just looked at him. He just put his hands in his pants pockets, and glanced at Tyler’s
grave.
“Liana, you’re mourning the wrong guy here.”
Liana was shocked at hearing this, her eyebrows furrowed.
“What do you mean?”
Could it be that like Eleanor, Tyler’s body was switched and then revived? This thought flashed through her mind and her almost
still heart started to beat again. But Damien just curved his lips into a cold smile, interrupting her wild thoughts.
“His ashes have been thrown into the sea by my mom a long time ago. What’s lying here is just a pile of sand”
Who would care about Tyler? Who would open the urn to check if the ashes inside were really his? Because no one would,
Karan played around like it was a game, scattering the ashes into the sea, or rather, letting the wind blow them away.
Where would the wind blow the ashes? Some unknown desert sea, a place with no sign of human life....
Karan wanted Tyler to be a lonely ghost, even in death.
