Chapter 2
Alice stepped forward and explained as if she was kind, "Susy, don't get me wrong. The fish that Jonathan gave me were released into the pond of the community, but they died because of water quality. I came to contact the funeral home today to cremate them. They were not treated well when they were alive, so I want them to be more dignified after they die."
I looked at Alice's kind look, which made me look vicious.
I rolled my eyes and said coldly, "So what? What does it have to do with me? Do you need me to write an article to praise your kindness, or..."
"Susy! Do you have to be so aggressive?" Before I could finish my words, Jonathan looked at me with dissatisfaction and said, "Have you been pretending to be kind and gentle before?"
Hearing Jonathan's words, I no longer felt the pain. The only person who could affect my mood already died.
I said calmly, "Yes, it was all fake. Congratulations on you finally discovering it. In this case, you should sign the divorce agreement quickly, then you can leave me and be with your kind-hearted girl. Then you can protect her all the time."
When Alice heard the divorce agreement, she became excited and looked at Jonathan with some anticipation.
Jonathan did not agree to my proposal, but said with some displeasure, "Can you not mention divorce? Is it fun to talk about such a thing all the time?"
Alice looked disappointed, but she didn't want to ruin her gentle image, so she could only vent her anger on me, saying sarcastically, "Susy, you are already living a life of luxury, and you should learn to be content. Jonathan is very tired from work every day, but you always lose your temper like this, no one can stand it."
At this time, Jonathan's phone rang. It was his grandma Sophia Collins calling. The funeral home was very quiet, so I could clearly hear Sophia's concerned voice, "I heard that Susy's old house caught fire, and many people were killed or injured. I remember that Susy's sister seemed to still live in the old house! It's too dangerous. Why don't you let Susy's sister live in your villa? You're not at home often anyway, and the sisters can take care of each other."
"I got it," Jonathan answered Sophia perfunctorily and hung up the phone.
He looked at me and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that the old house of your family was on fire? Is your family okay?"
When I heard him mention this, my eyes turned red. "Didn't I tell you? I called you numerous times, but what did you do?"
As I said this, I looked at Alice's face. If my look could kill someone, I hoped that I could stab Alice to death to avenge Eva's life.
Jonathan was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly, saying, "That day..."
His tone softened immediately, but he still blamed me, "Then you should have sent me a message later. If you didn't tell me, how would I know about this?"
News about the fire was widely spread, even Sophia, who never played with her phone or watched television, knew about it. How could he be unaware of this?
If he had cared a little more about me or asked his assistant, he would have known why I was so anxious to find him that afternoon.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll pay for Eva to renovate the old house. Or if she doesn't want to, I'll give her the large flat next to our house..."
Chapter 3
I just felt irony when I heard these words and said, "Do you think you can buy everything with money?"
If I could get Eva back, I would rather give up everything, including Jonathan!
Alice took a step forward as if she had suffered a great injustice, and then she said, "Susy, Jonathan, it was all my fault. Don't quarrel over me."
"It was indeed your fault. You have occupied the entire city's medical resources and killed so many people. Even if you died ten thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for those families." I sneered, without showing her any mercy.
The tears in Alice's eyes flowed down.
Jonathan immediately protected her behind him and said, "Susy, Alice has a heart problem. Stop it! How can you be so vicious?"
I glanced at him and walked out directly because I wanted to eat.
It took me a lot of energy to deal with the funeral. Eva would be cremated tomorrow, so I couldn't make any mistakes at such a critical moment.
The next morning, I accompanied Eva's body to the crematorium. The place was usually empty, but now the door was crowded with people.
When the person in charge saw me and immediately came over to tell me that the cremation needed to be delayed for one day. If I was dissatisfied, they could help me contact other funeral homes and crematoriums.
I contacted this funeral home on the day Eva passed away. It was the best in the city and provided a one-stop service from body makeup, refrigeration, cremation to the farewell ceremony.
I had already notified relatives and friends early on, and many of them came from other cities. It would be very troublesome to change the time or the location of the funeral. Moreover, Eva was already so unfortunate before her death, so I didn't want to mess up even her last ceremony.
I rushed to the front with unprecedented strength and argued, "No! You must have cremation for Eva today! I made an appointment seven days in advance, and you are breaking the contract by changing it at the last minute. If you do this, I will make sure you can't continue to operate."
"Susy, what are you doing now?" Jonathan's voice sounded behind me.
I looked back and saw that he and Alice were all dressed in black, with a group of bodyguards in black suits following behind them. Each of them was holding a glass tank in their hands, and each box contained a dead fish.
The bodyguards passed me and carried the fish into the crematorium. I snatched the glass tank from the nearest bodyguard and slammed it to the ground.
The glass tank broke into pieces the moment it hit the ground. Alice squatted on the ground and screamed, "Susy, how can you be so cruel that you can't even tolerate a small animal? You are just jealous of Jonathan's kindness to me, so you still torment the fish he gave me even when they are dead!"
I ignored her and was about to grab the second glass jar, but Jonathan came forward and held me back, saying, "Susy, don't go crazy!"
I pulled my hand back and slapped him hard, saying, "Jonathan, get the hell away from me!"
"I dote on you too much, so you're so rude now!" Jonathan covered his face and looked at me coldly.
Alice hurriedly said to the other bodyguards, "Why are you standing there? Stop her! How could you just watch her slap Mr. Collins? And I must cremate and bury my fish in peace today. We can't let this crazy woman delay their reincarnation."
Immediately, a strong and tall bodyguard came over and grabbed my arm tightly. These bodyguards were so strong that I couldn't break free at all.
Chapter 4
Alice ordered the bodyguards to pick up the fish on the ground, and then she walked in front of me and said, "Susy, you can bully me, but you can't treat a dead animal like this. You must apologize to it!"
I couldn't break free but still swear, "Damn it! If you are so kind, why don't you jump into the crematorium and be buried with them?"
Jonathan calmed down at this moment and said, "Susy, apologize to Alice, then I will forget about what happened today. If it is reported, it will be embarrassing for you."
I cursed, "Who are you? You don't deserve to teach me, you damn scumbag."
Jonathan said coldly, "Susy, if you keep being like this, I will divorce you, and you won't get a penny."
I laughed in anger and said, "Who cares about your money? Jonathan, have you read the divorce agreement I gave you? I didn't ask for anything!"
Jonathan was stunned and looked at his assistant beside him. The assistant hurriedly took out my divorce agreement from the briefcase.
Alice came over to take a look and quickly said, "Jonathan, I have always hoped that you could be happy. But if Susy keeps making trouble like this, she will be photographed by the paparazzi sooner or later. So many people are eyeing the Collins group if it is reported that Mrs. Collins is a lunatic, the stock price of the Collins group will plummet."
Jonathan took out a pen and looked at me, saying, "I'll give you one last chance. Apologize to Alice and go home. You will still be Mrs. Collins."
I said angrily, "You should let Alice be Mrs. Collins. I don't want to be Mrs. Collins any more, I even feel sick when I think about the fact that I have been Mrs. Collins for so many years."
Alice's eyes were full of expectation. Jonathan took two deep breaths to suppress his anger and said, "Forget it, take Mrs. Collins back."
The bodyguard was dragging me away. My hands were held, but my feet were still able to move, so I kicked directly at Jonathan.
I used all my strength to kick the lower part of his body, but the bodyguard pulled me back, so I only kicked him on the calf.
Jonathan looked at the footprints on his suit pants and became completely furious. He kicked the cart behind me.
The cart was kicked over and Eva's body rolled down and landed on the broken pieces of the glass jar. The broken pieces scratched her face and the accumulated water on the ground washed away her makeup.
"Ah! A dead person! It's so scary!" Alice's face turned pale and she screamed and ran into Jonathan's arms.
I turned around suddenly and bit the bodyguard's wrist hard. I used all my strength and even bit off a piece of his flesh. He let go of my hand in pain.
I stumbled to Eva's body, knelt, and hugged her tightly in my arms, saying, "Don't be afraid, Eva, I will take you away. Let's go to another place. I will make you look good."
I tried to wipe the stains off her face, but as I wiped, it became dirtier. The glass shards even pierced my hands, and my blood smeared her face.
I couldn't stop my tears from flowing.
Jonathan was stunned when he saw this scene. After a moment, he came to his senses, grabbed the staff member next to him, and asked, "What's going on? Who is this?"
"This is Ms. Susy Loren's sister. She died in a fire a week ago. Ms. Susy Loren sent her to our funeral home. She was supposed to be cremated today..." The staff member lowered his voice at the end.
