Chapter 394 The Finality of Death
Whoever heard William's supplication would be visibly moved. Everyone in the hall including Paige
fixed their eyes on William. Paige also didn't know where the twins had been taken to after that.
Facing these questioning looks, George felt like he was in a tight corner, being guilty in front of his
children. He understood well that the only way to bring back his place in his children's heart was telling
the truth.
William hesitated for a moment and then began to say, "I had to take away the twins for our family's
reputation. But I have been always good to them after that. Every month I have someone send money
to them. And I would pay a visit if I'd got time…"
"Where are they now?"
Sharon didn't utter a word until William started defending himself. The only thing she wanted to do was
see her daughters at once.
William's anger was released by Sharon's censure. He turned his fierce eyes to Sharon and coldly
spitted out two words, "They died."
"Died? How—You said you had been good to them."
Sharon's calm face suddenly turned deathly pale. Her mind went blank and she couldn't speak her
mind clearly.
William's eyes were widened in shock. Before he said anything, George continued, "I took them to an
orphanage in City T. The dean shared a good relationship with me and I was always sending money
and supplies there. I promised the twins lived a good life. However, the 8-magnitude earthquake
destroyed everything and claimed tens of thousands of lives. You've seen that news on TV. The twins
were listed as missing. I'm afraid…"
An eerie silence descended on everyone in the hall. Even a heartbeat could be heard clearly.
Joey couldn't describe how she felt when she heard the truth. That was why she couldn't find the twins.
They had gone to another world. Seeing the desperate expression on Sharon, Joey could do nothing
but sigh deeply. Humans are fortune's fool.
The end of the farce was –everything present or hidden in secret came into sight. Sharon blubbered for
a while and fell in a faint. The old William didn't say a word. He didn't faint or stroke. A spurt of blood
came out of his mouth. He looked ten years older than yesterday. Martha and Lawrence left this home
silently. George went back to his work like nothing had happened. Paige wearily went to her bedroom.
Only Allen stared blankly at the front sitting in the couch, with Joey sitting beside him. Joey didn't try to
say anything of comfort but gave him a hug.
The end was not the end at all. Everyone knew the truth but they couldn't do anything about it. Some
were unable, like William and Sharon, and some others couldn't bear to, like… Allen.
Taking William to City S hospital was not mentioned anymore. Three days later, to everyone's surprise,
Sharon was driven out of the Charles family.
It was none other than William who did this.
George and Paige were happy to see this. To them, Sharon was always a danger. Now William had
done them a favor. So they planned to solve the problem completely and didn't expect the following. In
the next morning after Sharon left the home William's body was found by a maidservant. Beside his
body were scattered white sleeping pills.
The whole family was shocked.
George knelt down by the bed painfully. His lips trembled and his face turned pale. He couldn't even
cry.
Everyone knew the old man took his own life. And the reason was…
Actually, Joey knew better than others.
The old William called Joey to his room after driving Sharon away. The conversation didn't bear any
evidence of his intention of suicide otherwise Joey would do something to prevent it. William gave Joey Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
a letter and asked her to deliver it to Sharon the next day. The old man also told Joey not to open it
before finding Sharon.
Joey would not invade others' privacy. But the old man's death made her nervous. Without any
hesitation, she opened the letter which turned out to be William's posthumous papers. In the letter, the
words William wanted to say were recorded.
