Ethan''s father gave the order.


    The next day, the cremation ceremony was held for Ethan.


    Catherine saw him for thest time. It was very startling, but she was not petrified. She felt nothing but grief. The one whom she had been calling ''Brother Ethan'' since she was young had left just like that.


    Why was a human''s life so fragile?


    After Ethan was cremated, Catherine did not go to the office for three consecutive days. She was like a tortoise that was hiding in her shell, not going anywhere.


    On the fourth day, she suddenly received a strange call. "Is this Aunty Oath? I''m Tracy."


    "Miss Steele..." Catherine was at a loss. She thought Tracy was going to cause her trouble.


    "I''d like to meet you. Please don''t tell anyone about it," Tracy said under her breath.


    Stunned, Catherine became instinctively alert.


    However, as soon as she heard Tracy mentioning that they would meet downtown, she banished her doubts.


    Soon, she drove to the cafe and entered the private


    room.


    Tracy was sitting at the table. She was wearing a pair of sunsses and a cap. As she had cut her hair short and heavy makeup on her face, Catherine could barely recognize her.


    "Why did you want to meet me?" Catherine sat opposite her. She had always thought of Tracy as a quiet woman, but she could feel that Tracy was not despicable. Despite knowing that Catherine was previously in a rtionship with Ethan, Tracy had never envied her nor did she join Sonya to badmouth her. "Look at this."


    Tracy passed her phone to Catherine.


    Catherine clicked it open. It was a screenshot of a message that had not been sent out. [Watch out...]


    One could tell that it was an iplete message as the word ''Lyo'' could be seen in the messaging box at the bottom.


    The draft of the message was meant for Catherine.


    "This was Ethan''sst activity found in his phone. The police spotted the phone in the bush after the incident, but they didn''t know the password to his phone. After I got his phone, I switched it on and unlocked it. This screenshot was disyed on the screen."


    Tracy gazed at her with mixed feelings. "I think Ethan might''ve been aware of something during the incident. He could''ve realized that he was going to die, so he wanted to text you to warn you for thest time. But it was toote when the car began to catch fire. Hence, he tossed his phone out of the window."


    Catherine''s longshes quivered.


    Did this mean that Ethan had been trying to remind her even in hisst moments?


    "Why is it a screenshot?" Catherine suddenly asked," Can I have a look at his phone?"


    Tracy replied thoughtfully, "After Ethan''s phone was passed to the police, the Lowe family and the Lyons family took a look at it as well. But I was the first to look at it. After noticing the drafted message, I sent the screenshot to my phone and removed it from his phone." 2


    Catherine was startled.


    Tracy knitted her brows together. "Have you thought about the reason Ethan wanted to send you this message in hisst moment rather than hisst words regarding other things? What did he want you to be careful of? Or was he looking for you yesterday because of something?"


    "I have no idea."


    Afraid that Tracy would overthink it, Catherine swiftly exined, "I haven''t seen him since the wedding.


    When he suddenly contacted me the other day, I was quite surprised. But ording to Wesley, it was


    probably because I quarreled with Wesley the day before and Ethan wanted to mediate things for us."


    Once she finished speaking, she fixed her eyes on the screenshot.
