Chapter 1598


    As Carol spoke, she looped her arm through Arabe’s and they strolled into the flower shop to buy a


    fresh bouquet of white roses.


    While the florist was wrapping up the flowers, Carol whipped out her phone and started tapping away


    furiously, meanwhile saying, "Just give me a sec."


    Arabe nodded, took out her own phone to catch up on some work emails, not prying into what Carol


    was up to but simply waiting quietly by her side.


    After a short while, the florist handed over the neatly packaged bouquet, and Carol, finished with her


    task, took the flowers and linked arms with Arabe as they left the shop.


    “Once Katherine gets back, she''ll definitely paint a dramatic picture of what happened to my dad. So, I


    hacked into the store''s surveince system and sent the footage to my dad already.”


    Only then did Arabe realize what Carol had been busying herself with. Carol''s hacking skills were


    nothing to scoff at. Arabe had discovered this firsthand when she and Romeo had tried to break into


    Carol''sputer and found it safeguarded by a firewall. At that time, Carol had even set up three


    security questions, all rting to rk.


    Thinking back, it all seemed like a distant memory.


    “I told my dad that Katherine started the whole mess, that she threw the flowers I’d bought for Crystal''s


    tribute on the ground and stomped on them. She even spewed nonsense about myte mom. I simply


    asked forpensation for the bouquet, and before I could demand an apology, she threw a fit. The


    surveince footage clearly shows they were the ones who kept provoking the situation.” Carol


    exined, not forgetting to reassure Arabe, “Don’t worry, I won’t let them walk all over me in this


    family.”


    She had been groomed to be the sessor since she was little. Katherine thought she could take


    advantage of Carol? Fat chance.


    On their drive to pay respects to Crystal, Arabe mentioned, “The Doom gang has been pretty much


    wiped out. Romeo and rk have really stepped up.”


    Of course, her aunt and uncle abroad had also been a big help. Hans had lent a hand from the


    shadows too. Grandpa Eugene and his friends, along with other beloved elders, had all pitched in.


    “You''ll finally have a peaceful year,” Arabe said with a gentle nce at Carol.


    Carol felt a weight lift off her shoulders as she looked ahead, reflecting, “I don’t even know how I got


    through those days before.”


    The days of running for her life, being on constant alert, were about to be behind her. And it was all


    thanks to Arabe.


    “Be, thank you.” Carol looked at her gratefully, “If it wasn''t for you, rk might still be looking for me,


    my brother and I might still be living in fear, Doom wouldn''t have fallen so quickly, and I wouldn’t have


    found my birth family so soon.”


    “If you really want to thank me,” Arabe replied with a smile, “just live a happy and fulfilling life with


    rk. That would be the best thank-you I could ask for. I wish you both all the happiness in the world.”


    Carol’s heart warmed. She and rk were so lucky to have such a caring and capable sister.


    Ten minutester, they arrived at Crystal’s grave site, where arge bouquet of ice-blue roses had


    already been ced.


    Alger and Celeste had been there earlier, leaving behind an assortment of Crystal’s favorite treats.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Carol bowed down and began to share updates about her and rk''s life, as well as how her aunt and


    uncle were doing.


    The girl in the photo on the tombstone wore a blooming smile, seemingly listening to Carol’s stories. As


    Carol spoke, a wave of emotion hit her, and tears welled up in her eyes. She promised the smiling girl


    that she would take good care of her aunt and uncle, and slowly help heal the wounds in their hearts.
