Chapter 381


    Reiss crouched on the floor in helplessness as she watched Seth’s ashes blow away with the wind


    before vanishing into the crowd


    Is this retribution for what he did?‘


    Reiss had no idea what she should do because everything happened too quickly. On all fours, she


    cried until her face was covered in tears.


    “This is his life. You don’t have to be too upset,” Adrian said upon seeing Reiss crying on the floor.


    Adrian was supposed to be resting at home yet he received a call from the department iming that


    someone was following


    Reiss


    Reiss looked at the urn on the ground in a daze, her body shaking.


    “He’s dead and didn’t even get to leave behind a pinch of his ashes. Is this his retribution? Reiss


    sobbed.


    Seth hadmitted all sorts of heinous acts when he was alive. In his death, he received the


    retribution that he deserved.


    Briss had always believed that good and evil would always be rewarded. It was only a matter of time.


    And Seth was no


    exception.


    Adrian patted her shoulder. “His life was destined while you can still continue to live your life. Put away


    your fragility and march on in this world ”


    Reiss stood up and took a deep breath. Adrian was right. She wiped away her tears and said, “You’re


    right. My life still goes on, and it’s not my ce to control his destiny.”


    As she spoke, Reiss picked up the um. “The ashes are already gone so what’s the point of keeping the


    um?”


    Upon saying that, she tossed the urn into the drain by the roadside.


    Reiss forced a smile at Adrian and pped her hands together as she said, “Thank you for helping me


    earlier, Adrian. Otherwise, I would’ve been beaten up by them.”


    “I can see that you haven’t eaten for quite a while. Let’s go somewhere to sit and talk,” Adrian sald


    Reiss nodded. She had been nning on asking someone to have a few drinks so Adrian came at just


    the right time.


    Hence, Adrian and Reiss came to a nearby restaurant and ordered a few dishes.


    As they sat opposite each other, she said with a smile, “I didn’t expect to encounter such an incident


    during my visit to Swallowston but I feel that I’m in the right ce because I managed to cross paths


    with you in the sea of people here.


    “Let’s have a drink!” Heiss raised her hand in preparation to order some drinks.


    Adrian quickly grabbed her hand. Heiss was stunned ever so slightly and her face blushed beyond her


    control.


    Adrian hastily loosened his grip over Reiss‘ hand and said, “I’m going to have to send you home if you


    drink too much. W shall preserve your alcohol tolerance and drink when we locate Chubbs.”


    Reiss lowered her hand. “Have you reached out to him? Did you manage to find him?”


    “My younger sister told me that her father passed away. However, Thave no idea where he is now. I’ve


    already entrusted someone to ask around and I believe that I’ll be getting an update soon.”

    “May be be well,” Reiss said with a smile.


    Adrian nodded.


    Then, their meals were served.


    Adrian passed Reiss her cutlery and said, “All right, I can see that you’re starving. Let’s dig in. Your


    brother’s matter has already passed and we shall not talk about something that’s in the past.


    “Remember that you’re living for yourself and not for him. The only destiny you can control is your own.


    This is life and no one is omnipotent.” Adrian counseled Kriss
