Betty turned around and fell into a daze. “Theodore.”
Theodore strode over and gazed at the picture on the headstone. “Andrew resembled you.”
Betty remained silent.
Kathleen frowned. “Grandma, you two know each other?”
“We’ve been friends for many years,” Theodore said solemnly.
“Given the choice, I’d not have the slightest inclination to be friends with you. I heard you fired a shot at my granddaughter?” Betty uttered coldly.
Theodore froze momentarily before responding awkwardly, “That’s a misunderstanding. I did not know her identity at that time.”
Betty said icily, “Theodore, after all the bad things you all have done, you’ll be faced with retribution sooner or later.”
He replied in a self-deprecating tone, “Retribution? I’ve already met mine. My son died a few years ago.”
Betty asked frostily, “Why are you here?”
Theodore turned to look at Kathleen. “I’m here to meet with you.”
Kathleen knitted her brows. “Me?”
He gazed at her. “You need to be more careful.”
“What do I need to be careful of?” Kathleen was confused.
Have I not dealt with everyone who needs to be taken care of?
“Explain yourself!” Betty demanded in displeasure.
“Yareli. She blames you for Vanessa’s death,” Theodore reminded.
Kathleen frowned slightly. “How did you know about that?”
“She found me. She wanted to collaborate with me,” he explained.
Kathleen uttered indifferently, “I can’t believe she still hasn’t given up.”
“Vanessa’s death has nothing to do with you. I think Yareli is just a lunatic.” Betty furrowed her brows.
“Rest assured, Grandma. I’ll handle that problem.” Kathleen did not wish for Betty to be worried about her.
Betty grasped Kathleen’s hand. “I think these people are being ungrateful.”
“That’s right,” Kathleen agreed.
