Andy, on the other end of the line, said something when Gwen’s face instantly turned pale.
After a while, she hung up. She looked at Luna closely. “Hailey Walter is dead. She jumped off a
building.“
Luna felt every ounce of her muscle stiffened. Hailey Walter… was dead?
She killed herself?
Luna retreated a few steps back.
More than an hour ago, Hailey was still having lunch with them. How did she just… die like that?
“Perhaps she felt shameful and did not want to go overseas?“
Gwen sighed, “Hailey is a proud lady. She would not be able to withstand such humiliation.“
Luna thought it was unbelievable.
In the dining room a moment ago, Hailey seemed to have accepted Old Mr. Walter’s arrangement. She
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteven went up to pack her bags, why so suddenly…
Hailey’s memorial service was done in a simple manner. It did not feel in line with the amount of grief
Old Mr. Walter felt of losing his beloved daughter.
The Walters explained that because this happened
too suddenly and it was also a little embarrassing, so they decided to do it in a simple manner.
Luna followed Joshua and Alice to pay their respects. “How dare you still come! “
Upon seeing Luna, Old Mr. Walter’s emotions erupted in rage. He reached out and pointed at Luna’s
face angrily.
“If it were not for you, my daughter would not have jumped! Luna, you owe the Walters a life! “
Luna lowered her head. “My deepest condolences.“
Although she did not think that she was wrong in this matter, the dead deserved some respect. She
was not willing to have a head-on confrontation with Old Mr. Walter at Hailey’s memorial service.
“Condolences? How could I possibly accept them from you! “
Old Mr. Walter glared at Luna angrily. “What Hailey did to you was just a small matter! How dare you
get Joshua to make things difficult for her, forcing me to send her out of the country.“
In a full-blown rage, Old Mr. Walter shrugged off his servants who were supporting him. He immediately
rushed to Luna and grabbed her by her shirt’s collar, shaking her violently.
“She jumped because she was not willing to go out of the country. She found it humiliating! Why
couldn’t you just bear with whatever she did? If you would have bear through it, she would not have
died! You killed her! “
Luna was shaken by Old Mr. Walter. She was dizzy. Deep down in her heart, she was telling herself to
not be petty with a grieving old man.
However, the nonsense he was saying made Luna infuriated time and again.
What did he mean that if she were to bear it, Hailey would not have died?

If she were to bear it, she would have died herself! Just because Hailey was weak, why was she to be
blamed?
Seeing how Luna had no response, Old Mr. Walter got even more aggravated.
He angrily raised his hand and slapped Luna fiercely.
“Uncle Dennis, that is enough. “ Just when Old Mr. Walter’s hand was almost by Luna’s face, Joshua
calmly stepped forward and immediately grabbed Old Mr. Walter’s hand.
“We are all very sorry for Hailey’s death, but how much this has to do with Luna, I’m sure you are clear
about it too. In other words, just because you didn’t look after your daughter, how could you blame
Luna for that?
Then, Joshua flung Old Mr. Walter’s hand away. “ But, I do remember something. Before Hailey’s
death, she called me. She said she wanted to tell me something, but she was interrupted by you, Uncle
Dennis. “According to the time of her death and her call with me, she jumped down in less than ten
minutes after the call with me. What happened in between?“
