    After all, she had already lost two sons.


    Muchter, Madam finally spoke, “Ci.”


    Her voice emerged hoarse and raspy, thick with sorrow.


    “We’ll attend the funeral.”


    She owed her son this final farewell.


    Juniper kept vigil beside Holden.


    Cecilia approached, “Juniper.”


    Juniper offered a smile worse than crying, “Cecilia, I’ve lost my father.”


    Cecilia’s heart ached. She pulled Juniper into an embrace,forting her, “You still have your siblings, your grandmother. Many of us stand with you.”


    Juniper burst into loud sobs.


    Cecilia shed silent tears, patting her back,


    Just then, Mrs. Johnson arrived atst,


    d in mourning attire once more, she threw herself before Holden’s gravestone, “My dear, how could you leave me behind? What will be of Juniper and me?”


    Juniper’s barely contained tears fell anew, her sobs choking her voice.


    “Auntie, I’m so sorry for your loss.”

    Johan urged gently, “Though Second Brother is gone, we remain family.”


    Family?


    Mrs. Johnson shot Johan a venomous re, “He’s the one who killed my dear.”


    Johan watched coldly, ignoring Mrs. Chengpletely.


    Mrs. Cheng turned and knelt before Madam. “Mother, Old Cheng’s been found, but we can’t let his death go unexined. You must intervene.”


    She wept brokenly.


    Madam staggered, bracing herself. “How do you expect me to intervene?


    He kidnapped someone first, then drowned by his own doing.”


    Mrs. Cheng refused to believe it. “Johan’s the murderer, Mother. You can’t shield him.”


    She remained convinced Johan was responsible.


    “If you won’t give me justice, I’ll dash my brains out right here!”


    She lunged toward the tombstone.


    Cheng Huayu pulled her back.


    Madam clutched her chest, overwhelmed by grief and Mrs. Cheng’s relentless pressure.


    Cecilia strode over, shielding Madam. “What justice are you demanding?”

    “Buzz off! This doesn’t concern you.”


    “If you think he died unjustly, call the police. Let them investigate.“”


    Cecilia spoke with calm authority.


    She showed no fear. “Why keep harassing Grandma?”


    Mrs. Cheng wiped her tears. “Old Cheng… Old Cheng…”


    ??She called out desperately.


    Cecilia immediately guided Madam away.


    If Mrs. Cheng kept causing scenes, Madam might copse.


    The second wife kept making a scene and was pinned down by Johan’s


    men.


    After Madam left, he had fewer reservations.


    The second wife kept cursing.


    Johan squatted down to meet her eyes, “Aunt, do you really want me to strip away yourst shred of dignity?”


    The second wife’s eyes were bloodshot.


    “You wouldn’t dare.”


    “When you saved Uncle back then, that was all a setup, wasn’t it?”


    He spoke slowly, word, by word, and the second wife’s face changed.


    “After you married Uncle, you used thepany tounder money; when my parents found out, you were kicked out. But you weren’t satisfied, so you deliberately brought it up in front of Uncle, saying my parents kicked you out on purpose to strip you of your power, right?”

    Holden went down that path, and the second wife had a hand in it.


    Holden was dead, and Johan truly wanted to let it rest.


    But this aunt of his had been ying everyone for fools.


    She knew everything, yet pretended innocence here.


    “Moneyundering?”


    Madam heard this for the first time, her shock momentarily eclipsing grief.


    Johnson Hua Yu was equally stunned–his seemingly fragile sister–in-w had secretlyundered money through thepany.


    If discovered, the entire Johnson family would’ve been dragged down.


    Thankfully, his eldest brother and sister–inw caught it in time, keeping the Johnsons safe.


    Yet after being exposed, instead of repenting, she’d instigated his second brother against them.


    Johnson Hua Yu fought back tears; Johan had endured too much.


    He was such a useless uncle.


    Seeing the documents Johan produced, the second madam panicked. “Johan, you’re framing me!”


    Johan shook his head. “Aunt, the police will verify these records.”


    She copsed, face ashen. “You called the police? I’m your aunt-”


    Mid–sentence, she froze in terror. If Johan could eliminate Holden, why would he spare her?

    Snarling, she threatened: “Johan, if I’m arrested, the Johnsons will be implicated too.”


    Madam was very disappointed. “You actually want to drag the Johnson family down with you? You…”


    “I’d really like to see how you n to drag the Johnson family down.”


    Johan gave Madam a reassuring look.
