At this moment, Edward Thompson was also extremely grateful, because he had a sister like Sylvia.

If Viola Thompson had been by his side today, she would have probably left him like those other people.

Although he didn’t sign a contract with Director Ming successfully, Edward Thompson still wanted to set up his own studio and PR team.

His acting career had to continue.

But the liquid funds in Edward Thompson’s hands were already running low.

After all, he just paid a huge amount of liquidated damages.

Out of helplessness, Edward Thompson thought of selling real estate.

After all, he had several properties in the Capital City.

The current average house price in Capital City was 100,000 per square meter, and Edward Thompson’s houses were located in prime areas. If he sold three houses, he could get nearly 80 million in cash, plus some funds he had, which would be enough to support the early stage of investment.

Edward Thompson was a man of action.

He wouldn’t let anyone laugh at him, so he contacted a real estate agency immediately. However, because he needed the money urgently, he could only sell the three houses, originally worth 80 million, for 60 million.

…

On the other side.

City Yale.

Barbara Will had been staying at her parents’ house for a few days.

Her parents were both over seventy years old, and their hair was already gray. The mother looked at her daughter and said, “Barbara, yesterday Zhang Matchmaker came to the village saying she wanted to introduce you to someone, it’s the old Price family from the east side of the village, do you want to…?”

Barbara Will smiled and said, “Mom, I have my own plans for myself. You don’t have to worry about me. The most important thing for you and dad now is to enjoy your old age.”

The mother sighed, “But you still haven’t settled down, how can I not worry?”

Barbara Will continued, “Actually, the reason I came back this time is to tell you and dad that I found a foreign boyfriend, Jack. I might be going abroad to live with him in the future, and I don’t know when I’ll be back next time. You guys take good care of each other at home.”

“A foreigner?” Mrs. Price squinted her eyes.

Barbara Will nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Price frowned, “Can this work? Are foreigners reliable?”

“Very reliable,” Barbara Will took out her cell phone and showed her mother a picture of a foreigner, “Mom, this is Jack.”

Mr. Price also leaned in to take a look, and then said, “Barbara, when will you bring him home to meet your mother and me?”

Barbara Will explained with a smile, “There might not be a chance this time. His passport is about to expire, so I have to go back with him right away.”

The couple was still skeptical about foreigners, but under Barbara Will’s persuasion, they didn’t say much else.

Barbara had already had an unfortunate first half of her life, and they hoped she could find happiness in the latter half.

Before leaving home, Barbara Will handed ten thousand dollars to her brother and sister-in-law.

“Brother, sister-in-law, I may not be back in the future. You must take good care of our parents.”

“Barbara, don’t worry, your parents are living with me.”

The sister-in-law accepted the ten thousand dollars, smiling from ear to ear, “Barbara, you have the most filial heart in our family.”

Although Barbara Will had been away from home for years, she never fell short in providing her parents with the living expenses they needed.

This was much more considerate than her other sisters.

After all, the traditions in their hometown were that once a daughter was married off, she was like water that had been poured out, and many would never give their sisters-in-law money to support their mothers.

Barbara Will smiled at her sister-in-law, “This is what I should do.”

The next morning, Barbara Will took the first bus out of the village.

After arriving in town, she took a car to the city and finally bought a plane ticket to the Capital City.

After all the transfers, it was already past 7 o’clock in the evening when she arrived in Capital City.

Barbara Will found a hotel.

Once again leaving the hotel, Barbara Will changed her clothes, wearing delicate makeup, carrying her bag, and got into a taxi.

“Where to?”

Barbara Will looked out the window, “Linzhou Cemetery.”

The driver was a bit taken aback, “Why are you going to the cemetery so late at night?”

Who goes to the cemetery at night?

Barbara Will explained, “It’s a custom in my hometown.”

The driver nodded, but didn’t ask any more questions, although he couldn’t help taking several glances given her unusual destination.

After a moment, the driver said, “You look kind of familiar, have we met before?”

Although he couldn’t quite place where he had seen her.

Barbara Will smiled, “Maybe I have one of those common faces.”

The driver didn’t ask any more questions.

Soon, they arrived at the cemetery.

The cemetery at night seemed even darker and more sinister than during the daylight, which sent a chill down the driver’s spine. He looked at Barbara Will, “It’s hard to catch a taxi here at night, do you need me to wait for you?”

“Thank you, but someone is coming to pick me up.”

“Alright,” the driver nodded, “Then I’ll leave first.”

Barbara Will nodded.

As Barbara Will walked alone through the cemetery, she was not actually a very courageous person, but she no longer felt afraid at this time.

She even began to hope that there were ghosts in this world.

She walked all the way to Olivia Cooper’s grave.

“Nini, Mom is here to see you.”

Barbara Will took out the tribute from her bag and placed it in front of the tombstone. Then she lit a pair of white candles. The eerie wind blew through the forest, causing the candles to flicker and cast a strange shadow on Barbara Will’s face.

“Nini, I’m sorry. I’m not a good mom.” Barbara Will sat beside the tombstone, embracing it as if she were holding Olivia Cooper, “You’ve always been afraid of the dark, but now you don’t have to be anymore. Mom will always be with you.”

After saying that, Barbara Will took out a small green bottle from her bag, unscrewed the cap, and drank the liquid inside.

The extremely pungent liquid burned and stung her mouth as she swallowed it, but Barbara Will didn’t even furrow her brows. She put the bottle away and sat calmly beside the tombstone, humming a lullaby, “Little baby, sleep tight… I’ll be with you through laughter and hardship…”

As she sang, Barbara Will’s voice became softer and softer. Finally, she closed her eyes and fell into unconsciousness.

The next morning, the old cemetery guard, who was on his daily patrol, found Barbara Will leaning against a tombstone. At first, the old man thought she was asleep, so he reached out to shake her, “Hey, wake up!”

But the next moment, Barbara Will fell to the ground.

The old man was so scared that he sat on the ground, his face pale. It took him a while to come to his senses, and he shakily pulled out his phone to call the police.

When the police officers arrived, they found a suicide note in Barbara Will’s bag.

“Barbara Will, female, born in 1980.”

“After my death, please call my brother Martin Lee, and be sure to tell my siblings not to inform our elderly parents about this matter. Also, there is no need to hold a funeral for me. If possible, I would like to donate my body for free.”

“As a daughter, I have not fulfilled my responsibility to support my parents. As a mother, I have also failed to take good care of my daughter, allowing her to suffer so much at such a young age.”

“I’m sorry for being born.”

“The world is beautiful, but I won’t be here next time.”
