Chapter 73: He Had a Fiancée

Jasmine Smith's grave was far from the city, and the road was rough. Even with GPS, Henry took

a wrong turn.

They arrived at the cemetery entrance near midday.

The cemetery was on a mountain, inaccessible by car, so they had to walk. The GPS only led them to the entrance, and Henry clearly didn't know where Jasmine Smith's grave was, so they had to search. Near the summit, they saw Jay, Simon, and Mrs. Sterling.

Sonya and Henry hurried over. Sonya started to apologize, but Jay interrupted, frowning.

"Why did you bring her?"

The question was directed at Henry, but it embarrassed Sonya.

Henry's face hardened. "Jay, what's your problem? I brought my wife. What's wrong with that?"

"Your wife? You... you call her your wife? You..."

Jay paced back and forth, his anger rising. Simon and Mrs. Sterling rushed over; one pulled Jay away, the other tried to smooth things over.

"He's acting up again. Ignore him."

Mrs. Sterling took Sonya's hand, apologetic.

Sonya shook her head, indicating it was fine."We took a wrong turn, so we're late." Heh, you don't come often, so you don't know the way. Things cool down fast, huh? Way too fast," Jay muttered, directing another barbed comment at them. Henry, remarkably patient considering his temper, had reached his limit with Jay's snide remarks. He lost his temper and kicked Jay.

Jay, equally simmering, shoved Simon aside and lunged at Henry.

They started fighting, fists flying. Simon and Mrs. Sterling couldn't separate them, frantically circling them.

Sonya was still stunned. How did this happen?

She looked at the headstone, at the photo-the same girl with short hair and a defiant look. The photo showed her with a raised chin, a cold, cynical expression. She had delivered her dumplings, saying, "Who do think
