CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 140: DIVORCE! FUNERAL!

Surname Xu, woman.

Directly engraved with Rachel Shaw’s name.

Damien Lancaster’s face suddenly turned icy and terrifying.

Noah Scott glanced at him, his eyes full of mocking coldness, "Another of your people’s good deeds."

Without a word, Damien Lancaster turned and walked towards the door.

Julian Jacobs immediately followed, when it comes to recklessness, Rachel Shaw ranks first, no one dares to claim second.

"Julian."

"I’m here." Julian Jacobs immediately stood by Damien Lancaster, awaiting orders.

"Send someone to bring back Rachel Shaw. I’ll deal with her after handling these matters." Damien Lancaster’s voice was cold without a trace of warmth, sending a shiver through Julian Jacobs.

"Yes, and now?"

"Return home."

Black Butcher saw Damien Lancaster leave, but Noah Scott remained, shivering as he looked at Noah Scott and asked, "Lord Scott, Lord Scott, I’ve confessed everything I should, please... please spare me..."

Noah Scott looked at his own bloodstained hand, his gaze sweeping over him, fixing on him like a devil, "Do you know the consequences of touching my people?"

"I... I didn’t know that lady was yours, if I had known, even if you gave me 800 guts, I wouldn’t dare..."

"It’s alright, it’s not too late to know now, confess well in the underworld." Noah Scott patted Black Butcher’s shoulder, stood up, and slowly walked out.

Black Butcher’s eyes widened, slumping to the ground in despair.

Noah Scott walked out, standing at the doorway, Yanis Stone immediately handed over a handkerchief.

Noah Scott calmly wiped his fingers, dropped the phrase, "Burn it," and left straight away.

...

Aethelgard, hospital.

At the moment, Zachary Lancaster, following Damien Lancaster’s instructions, stood guard by Ivy Summers’s side without leaving.

Ivy Summers remained icy cold, staring out the window without a word.

Zachary Lancaster looked out the window repeatedly, unable to grasp what Ivy Summers was seeing.

"You don’t have to stay here watching me, rest assured, I won’t commit suicide before your brother dies."

Ivy Summers’s words sent a chill down Zachary Lancaster’s spine. After pondering, he advised, "Sister-in-law, my brother indeed made a mistake in this matter, but considering from his position, he was also forced at that time."

"Am I a saint? Why should I consider his position? Why should I use his forced reason to comfort myself?"

Zachary Lancaster scratched the back of his head, finding himself at a loss for words.

Looking at Ivy Summers’s seemingly calm face.

Yet he always felt an indescribable murderous aura emanating from her.

Zachary Lancaster shivered unexpectedly.

Ella Morgan entered, glancing at Zachary Lancaster, "Get out, you Lancaster Family members are not worthy of being here."

Ella Morgan pushed Zachary Lancaster out, who hurriedly said, "I’m here on behalf of my brother to see my sister-in-law..."

"Who wants you to see her? Will her wounds heal if you see her? Will Sophie come back? Get out! Get out!"

With a shove, Ella Morgan slammed the door shut.

Zachary Lancaster was left in an embarrassing situation.

Ella Morgan came to Ivy Summers, "Ivy, the Lancaster Family found me, they said... they want to hold a funeral for Sophie."

Ivy Summers’s hands on her knees contracted violently, her eyes, like a dead pool, shifted slightly.

After a long time, Ella Morgan heard Ivy Summers speak without a trace of vitality, "They don’t need to arrange the funeral, I’ll do it myself, but every member of the Lancaster Family must be there."

Ella Morgan thought Ivy Summers would not accept the funeral or the fact of Sophie’s death.

But now, she seemed to have forced herself to accept it.

Ella Morgan’s eyes reddened, nodding with a choked voice, "Alright, I’ll tell them."

Ivy Summers lowered her head, looking at the pink coat in front of her, her pale face filled with pain, and slowly, she said, "Sophie, Mommy will definitely avenge you."

The kidnappers were already dead, but the two truly responsible for Sophie’s death were still alive.

On his way to the airport, Damien Lancaster’s phone buzzed, receiving a text from Zachary Lancaster.

[Bro, be careful, I feel my sister-in-law is very dangerous right now.]

[Before she calms down, it’s best not to appear in front of her.]

Then he received a message from Seraphina Kennedy.

[Damien, Ella says they’re planning Sophie’s funeral for the day after tomorrow, I’ve thought it over, you better not attend.]

Damien Lancaster glanced at it but didn’t reply, his aura gloomy to the point that no one in the car dared to breathe.

At that moment, a call came in.

It was from Ivy Summers!

Damien Lancaster hesitated for a second, softening his voice upon answering, "Hello."

Ivy Summers’s voice was emotionless, "Go to court tomorrow."

Damien Lancaster was silent.

His expression becoming even grimmer, yet he had no reason to refuse.

After a long pause, Damien Lancaster said, "Alright."

Ivy Summers hung up, unwilling to speak another word to him.

Damien Lancaster put down the phone, pressing hard on his throbbing temple.

Ultimately, he was wrong.

Ultimately, he promised Sophie.

He caused the death of a five-year-old life, what right did he have to refuse?

In the evening, Ella Morgan brought Nathan and Leo to accompany Ivy Summers, hoping the two kids could alleviate some of Ivy Summers’s pain.

Nathan and Leo already knew the news that Sophie was gone.

Ella Morgan originally wanted to hide it from them, but the two little ones, unable to reach Sophie, quickly understood something was wrong.

Nathan and Leo’s eyes were swollen like walnuts; when they approached Ivy Summers, the tears they had managed to hold back before immediately emerged again.

Nathan, "Mommy."

Ivy Summers slightly moved her eyes, looking down at the two little ones, attempted to speak, but the words got caught in her throat.

Nathan and Leo threw themselves into Ivy Summers’s arms, their suppressed emotions pouring out abruptly, sobbing bitterly in Ivy Summers’s arms.

Leo choked out in distress, "Mommy... Sister... Sister, she..."

Ivy Summers raised her hand, placing it on the heads of the little ones, gently patting, and struggled to speak, "Sister... she’s gone..."

"Who is it, who killed Sister, I want to kill him!" Leo’s voice was full of anger, "Even though Leo is weak now, when Leo grows up, he won’t spare him, Leo will avenge Sister."

Ivy Summers closed her eyes tightly, "You don’t need to seek vengeance, you just need to live well, healthily, carrying your sister’s share, the rest Mommy will do."

From Ivy Summers’s words, Nathan sensed something unusual, "Mommy? What are you planning to do?"

Ivy Summers gently patted Nathan’s back, knowing he was smart, able to sense her meaning, "Nathan, you’re more understanding than Leo, you need to take care of Leo from now on."

Nathan clung tightly to Ivy Summers, "Mommy, don’t do anything foolish, Sister is gone, we don’t want anything to happen to you too, Mommy, I’m begging you."

Tears streamed down Ivy Summers’s face, "Silly child, Mommy won’t do anything foolish."

The three of them cried together, with Ella Morgan silently shedding tears in the back.

...

The next day, Damien Lancaster waited for Ivy Summers at the door of Ivy Summers’s hospital room.

Today they were going to court for a divorce.

Ivy Summers changed her clothes and silently walked out.

Damien Lancaster reached out to support her, "Be careful."

Ivy Summers coldly shook him off, "Keep your cheap concern, I don’t need it."

Damien Lancaster paused, and Ivy Summers had already walked past him.

They descended the stairs, and the car headed straight to the court.

Court divorce proceedings require reasonable grounds, a divorce agreement, and mutual consent to divorce immediately, without a thirty-day waiting period.
