When they returned to Starlight Villa, the air felt heavy and sad. Evelyn looked at Howard’s face. His eyes were swollen. His steps were slow. He looked completely broken. She asked in a bored voice,
“Since you look so sad, I guess Gerald killed that old fool Harold?”
Howard did not even answer. He just shook his head weakly. He felt too tired and too sad to speak to her. Without looking back, he walked straight to his room and closed the door.
Evelyn snorted.
She turned to Anna and raised her eyebrow.
“Anna, what happened? Did that old fool really die?”
Anna frowned. She felt angry right away.
“Mom, how can you say something like that? Grandpa did not die… but Uncle Gerald did.”
“What?”
The Barton family members froze. Their eyes went wide with shock.
Evelyn stopped for a second
