After separating from Stella, Elaine returned home with a listless face.

Franklin, who was reading a book, glanced at her and said slowly, “You have almost emptied the mall, so why are you so unhappy?”

She sat down next to him on the arm of the sofa, showing a depressed look.

He said, “Well, didn't I let you out today? Someone bullied you?”

After a while, she mumbled in a dull voice, “No.”

She behaved quite well in the last half month at home. Obviously, she knew she had done wrong before. Thinking that she suffered enough, he closed the book and said, “From tomorrow, you no longer need to stay at home. You can go wherever you want.”

He thought she would jump up happily, but she simply nodded and said nothing more.

He could not help but ask, “What is wrong with you? Did you really get bullied?”

She shook her head and barely sat up, saying, “Dad, do you think Uncle Caesar is really dead?”

Hearing her words, he slightly changed his face and said after a few seconds of silence, “He is no longer a member of the James family and he is not your uncle. So whether he is dead or alive does not have anything to do with us.”

She pouted and stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, he sighed silently. “Elaine, about your uncle... About this matter, I never said anything to you. But you also saw what he did that day. He intended to kill the whole James family, and he even blew up your great-grandpa’s ashes. In fact, he is no longer the same loving uncle to you when you were a child.”
