“Trudy, my parents haven’t divorced yet, and my mother and | are the primary heirs. Even if you rack your brains to get that money, you won't get a penny as long as I’m alive.”
Atrace of panic flashed through Trudy’s eyes, but it quickly dissipated. “Your father made a will which stated that all his property will be inherited by Aldrin when he died.”
Although Camila’s blood was boiling with rage, she did not want to argue with Trudy, especially in front of her father’s body. She leaned over to Isaac and whispered, “Let's leave.”

The two of them arrived at the villa not long after. The moment they walked through the door, Camila saw Laura in the Living room waiting for them.
Laura had heard Camila go out in the middle of the night. Then, she learned from Glenda that something had happened to Camila’s father. Restless, she waited the whole night for Camila’s return.
When she saw Camila with Isaac, she immediately asked with concern, “Are you okay?” “lm fine,” Camila assured in a low and hoarse voice.
Glenda did not sleep either, concerned about Camila.
“It's late. You should go back to bed.” Camila went upstairs, and so did Isaac.
After entering the room, she curled up on the bed and he approached her from behind. As his body pressed against hers, he wrapped her in his warm embrace, comforting her.
It was a sleepless night for Camila, which resulted in her eyes being red and tired. Despite not sleeping a wink, she got up when morning arrived.

“Hello...” Rowena said in a hoarse voice.
“Mila? Why’d you call this early? Do you miss Joe?” “Mom, my father is gone...” Camila said in a heavy voice.
“He’s a free man. He can go anywhere he wants,” Rowena replied absentmindedly. It seemed that she had not realized what was going on.
“Mom, he has passed away,” Camila repeated.
For a brief moment, no response cfrom the other end of the line. It appeared that Rowena was too stunned to speak.
