Dereck’s will had been prepared long ago.

Unexpectedly, he did not leave his property to Alexei, instead bequeathing it entirely to Natasha.

However, he made a request: if possible, he did not wish to be buried in the Turner family cemetery, only hoping for a plot to be reserved for him on South Hill.

Natasha refused without the slightest hesitation.

Since he was no longer alive, Dereck should not disturb the peace of the Schuman family any longer.

Ultimately, his estate was used to establish a charitable fund supporting orphans and to set up scholarships at major music academies.

Under Alexei’s instructions, Dereck was buried with Teri.

As Teri had once said, after his passing, her name would inevitably be carved beside his tombstone.

Hopefully, even underground, they would remain eternally entwined.

The day after the engagement party was canceled, Quinn flew a helicopter out. After soaring through the sky for a long while, he released himself and plunged into the deep sea.

The police ultimately ruled it a suicide caused by depression.

Meanwhile, Cora, his eldest aunt, was imprisoned for kidnapping and murder.

Everything Quinn left behind was given to Arianna.

Natasha saw Arianna again in front of Quinn’s cenotaph.

The ocean where he fell was too deep, and his body was never recovered.

However, the family still held a grand funeral for him.

In some matters, everyone held their own stance, and there was no absolute right or wrong. Yet the moment they were drawn into the fray, everyone must have been prepared for defeat.

They understood that, regardless of the victor, neither would spare the other.
