No, it couldn't be...
It wasn't like that!
"My sister, she couldn't possibly be dead!"
Keira looked straight at Howard, her voice trembling. "Mrs. Horton passed away?"
Howard glanced at her and sneered. "Why are you so worked up? It's as if you knew Mrs. Horton..."
Howard's mother immediately asked, "The Horton family? The number one prestigious family in Oceanion? Weren't they saying the family head is quite young? How could she just die?"
Howard immediately said, "I heard she was kidnapped, thrown into the sea, and drowned alive. I also heard that when the body was recovered, it was all bloated! It seemed to have been in the water for a full 20 hours!"
"What a pity, to finally marry into a wealthy family only to have such a short life. Howard, can our family attend this kind of funeral? We don't really know the Horton family, do we?"
