Chapter 1782:

Her gaze lingered on the photograph as though memorizing every detail. “When you died, I didn’t even come. I was with someone else—someone my family needed me to be with. And when Jayden asked why I missed your funeral, I lied and said I had other things to do.”

A choked sob escaped her. “Louis, I regret it. I regret everything.” The dam broke. First silent tears, then trembling sobs, and finally raw, gutwrenching cries.

Clutching her chest as if to hold herself together, she cried out, “Why did you have to die so young? Why didn’t you wait for me? My life is a disaster… so much pain.”

At that moment, Jayden and Elyse passed through the cemetery gates. Elyse’s breath caught. “Is that Corrie?” she whispered. Jayden’s eyes widened. “She’s actually here—at Louis’s grave?” They approached slowly, their hearts heavy with unspoken concern. Corrie, lost in her grief, didn’t notice them. She sat beside the headstone, arms wrapped around it as if it were her only anchor in the world.

By the time the police arrived at the cemetery, Corrie had pulled herself together. Her arrogance was gone, replaced by utter exhaustion.

As the officers led her toward their car, she paused beside Jayden and Elyse. Turning to Jayden, she murmured, “You were right.”

Jayden frowned. “About what?”
