Chapter 418
No matter how many times she murmured her apologies, her mother could no longer hear them.
“Sherilyn?” A woman’s voice abruptly echoed from behind.
Sherilyn froze, slowly lifting her head to look back.
“It really is you, Sherilyn!” Malvina, holding a bouquet of flowers, her eyes instantly watering, fell to her knees in front of Sherilyn.
Tears streaming down her face, she exclaimed, “It’s been years, Sherilyn! You’ve grown so much?”
As she spoke, she examined Sherilyn up and down.
To an outsider, Malvina might appear as a loving elder, but Sherilyn’s eyes remained cold. Malvina… she was the reason her family fell apart, pushing them into dependency!
Disregarding all decency, she stole her sister’s husband, a deceitful wretch!
What was her act now? When committing such vile acts back then, where were these tears?
Her grandfather died of grief because of her, and her grandmother cut ties…
These tears now, were they for Dave Johnson?
Such a fitting pair, both despicable. One leaves and the other rushes here!
If Dave was bribing, what scheme was Malvina plotting now?
“Sherilyn.” Malvina pointed at the tombstone, saying, “All these years, while you weren’t in Sunhaven, I’ve been taking care of your mom’s grave, even had this tombstone renovated last year…”
“So what?”
Hearing another word from Malvina made Sherilyn feel physically sick. “Do you think, by doing these, you can erase your sins?”
“No, it’s not like that…” Malvina paused, covering her face, sobbing.

Chapter 418
“Sherilyn, we realized our mistake long ago! But back then, we were young, caught up in a moment we couldn’t control. You’ve grown up, can’t you understand? Matters of the heart can be uncontrollable. But we know we were wrong, oh…‘
Disgusting.
Sherilyn stood up, unwilling to watch her playact any longer.
“Sherilyn!” Malvina quickly reached out, grabbing her, her crocodile tears not yet dried, “I beg you, save Dave, please? I’ll kneel down, I’ll apologize, just save him. He’s your brother! Can you really stand by and watch him die?”
“Yes.” Sherilyn looked down at her, her gaze cold. “He’s nothing but a curse, better off dead!”
“You…” Malvina choked with anger.
“Hmph.” Sherilyn scoffed, “Angry? Do you even have the right? When you destroyed my family, did you ever think this day would come? Karma!”
She shook Malvina off and turned sharply around.
“Sherilyn!”
Seeing her plea fall on deaf ears, Malvina’s expression twisted, “I destroyed your family? Don’t be reckless with your accusations! The one who killed your mother…Sherilyn! It was you who killed your mother!“!
Sherilyn stiffened, her vision suddenly clouding red. She couldn’t stay here any longer!
Clutching her fists, she quickened her pace.
“Ha! Sherilyn, why run? You’re nothing but a cold–hearted, selfish bitch, the cause of your mother’s death! It was you always you! Ha…”
The taunting voice followed Sherilyn.
Her complexion grew paler with each step until she could barely stand.
Running now, stumbling, she seemed lost. Where was this?
“Sherilyn?” Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name.
Gilbert saw her figure, quickened his pace to meet her, and steadied her by the

arm, “Sherilyn, what’s wrong? You look so…” Pale.
He couldn’t finish his sentence because Sherilyn had collapsed into his arms, holding him tightly.
