Chapter 13 Reynald was struck hard , his lips moved but he couldn't say a word . In front of his eyes appeared Gabriella , whom he had met on the day of the tomb sweeping . Her hair was messy , with scratches and bloodstains on her face and hands . Her eyes were bloodshot , and her thin body swayed in the wind . She just wanted to be buried closer to her mother after she died . But he said , " Addicted to showing off ? Fine , just pretend you really want to die ... " " You don't even deserve a burial , you should be crushed to dust . " Gabriella was quiet for a while , " Okay , I'll listen to you . " He used to say things without a care , but now those words came back to haunt him , tearing a bloody hole in his heart . Reynald's breathing became more rapid , but the feeling of suffocation was always present . " Mr. Dalloz . " He looked up blankly , facing Gwen's mocking and cold . eyes . " Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital , and ... " You must live a long and healthy life , just like Gabriella said . " Live to be a hundred years old . These four words were also said by Gabriella on her birthday , and only Chapter 13 now , Reynald knows their true meaning . sal Reynald was in a daze , standing still in the spot even when Gwen left . " Rey , don't do this , okay ? I was really scared when you did that ... " He suddenly looked up , and Vanessa was scared by his fierce gaze , taking several steps back . " Why ? " He should have realized that Gabriella was in trouble a long time ago . If only ... Reynald actually knew he couldn't change anything , but couldn't help but go crazy thinking about it . At least he didn't leave without seeing the final farewell , Vanessa barely composed herself and said , " Rey , I know I shouldn't have lied to you about Gabriella insulting me . I just wanted you to care for me more , to like me a little bit more . " Reynald seemed to have heard a joke , " I offer you two million a year to act , and you tell me you like it ? " " Vanessa , when did I ever give you that impression ? " Her face turned pale . When Reynald first approached her , he clearly stated what she should do . The annual - contract renewal further solidified her position . She actually knew better than anyone else that Reynald's kindness towards her was only superficial , but she still lost herself in the adoration . What if ? Reynald treated her so well , maybe he also fell in love with her . Chapter 13 " I know I was wrong , I promise ... " Vanessa tried to step forward to pull him , but his icy gaze kept her rooted to the spot . " Escort her out , and also inform the legal department to hold her accountable for breach of contract . " Vanessa's breath caught in her throat , unable to believe what she was seeing . Two million a year , a hundred times the penalty for violations . She had already squandered all the money she had received , a hundred times the penalty , even if she risked her life to compensate , it would not be enough . " Rey , in the future ... " Reynald didn't look at her again as the bodyguard forcefully dragged her out . The surroundings quieted down once again . Reynald sat dejectedly on the sofa , covering his face with his hands . Betty hesitated for a moment , " Reynald , don't do this ... " " Mom ... " Reynald's voice was strained , tears falling , " I never imagined that Gabriella would die . " He didn't even consider , let alone actually going public with those photos as he said , to ruin Gabriella's remaining years . What he thought was that they would never give up . The moment he died , everything should come to an end . He was willing to let Gabriella be free from then on . Reynald pressed his hand against his chest , feeling the steady rhythm beneath his palm , but the overwhelming sense of emptiness almost Chapter 13 consumed him . After a while , Reynald finally spoke again , " I want to arrange a funeral for Gabriella . " Betty's eyes widened , " The ashes have been scattered into the sea , what should we do about the funeral ? " " The first invitation was sent to the Hensley family . " At that moment , Reynald was unusually calm , while Betty gasped in shock , feeling a chill run down her spine . She felt inexplicably that once this layer of calm skin cracked open , it would reveal an even more chilling madness . Reynald ... What did you want to do ?!
