Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Chapter 191 The Departure of Flora Harrison

The somber staff of the funeral home had taken Flora Harrison away. Her lifeless presence cast an eerie pall over the reporters, who, despite their usual tenacity, were reluctant to approach the deceased. The sight of Flora's blood-drained face was a stark reminder of the finality of death. There was no story left to pry from her cold lips.

In the absence of an interview, the reporters turned to their cameras.

Like ravenous wolves, they eagerly raised their devices, snapping away at the lifeless form of Flora Harrison. The funeral home staff, noticing the intrusive lenses, hastily covered the body with a blanket. A few images, however, had already been captured.

The staff, incensed by the blatant disrespect, lashed out. "Are you sick? What's the point of taking pictures of the dead?" they spat. "Do you feast on misery? Aren't you afraid of retribution, of hemorrhoids, or a face full of acne?" They sneered, "Damned sewer rats."

Sylvester's bodyguards, cleverly disguised as staff, maintained a clear path amidst the chaos.

Lela, witnessing the scene, felt a surge of anger. She wished she could knock those vultures to the ground, but reason overcame her rage. Her fists clenched tightly, shaking almost imperceptibly as she clutched a thick notebook filled with her sister's records.
