Chapter 1468

Early in the morning, Catherine was laid to rest in the cemetery.

All of Catherine's relatives, as well as neighbors close to her, came to bid her one final farewell.

Dressed in black, Summer and Aiden led the procession, wearing white roses on their chests.

Mirabella stood at a distance, watching the scene unfold with a serene expression, feeling neither pain nor sorrow.

She, too, was clad in black, her pale, thin cheeks and slender figure making her appear as if she might topple over with the slightest breeze.

James, who was beside her, glanced at her and began, "If you want to go..."

Before he could finish, Mirabella, as if guessing what he was about to say, interrupted, "Actually, it's nice to just send Grandma off this way."

She hadn't made it in time to be there at the end, and now that Catherine was being laid to rest, she preferred to let her go in peace.

If she did show up in front of Mandy and the others, it would likely lead to arguments.

She had no desire to dispute anything with the Gilbert family.
