Chapter 695 Impulse
"When are you leaving? We haven't hung out with Dorothy in a long time. How about dinner tonight?" Susan reminisced about the times she used to have dinner with Catherine and Dorothy.
Although life was tough back then, they didn't have as many worries, and life was still joyful.
Hearing this, Catherine shook her head. "Let's talk about it next time. Rylee just died, and Todd is in a bad mood. After Rylee's urn is buried today, I'll go back to the central district with Todd. I can't bear to see him linger here, surrounded by so much sadness."
Susan nodded at these words. She felt very disappointed inside but hid her feelings well.
Suddenly, Susan felt very sad. It felt like everyone was drifting away, leaving her alone with her two young children.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the cemetery!
Susan turned her head and saw two people in black clothes fighting.
Upon closer inspection, she realized the fighters were Seb and Andrew, which made Susan very anxious.
She wanted to step forward but knew she had no standing to intervene and might even be ridiculed.
Susan saw Seb was very emotional, throwing two punches at Andrew before many people pulled them apart.
Susan knew that Rylee had gone out with Andrew when the accident happened, and Seb and Andrew had always had a bad relationship. It was only natural for Seb to blame him. But Seb was usually so level-headed, so rational. To lose control like this, at Rylee's funeral...
It was probably because of his deep love for his sister. Besides his father and children, Rylee was the closest person to Seb. He couldn't accept that Rylee had died so young. Susan understood his grief.
But Susan knew that with Leon by Seb's side, she could be at ease. Leon was very cautious, smart, and capable. He should be able to help Seb handle things.
Seb grabbed Andrew by the collar and said through gritted teeth, "Andrew, you know exactly what you've done. Rylee's death is suspicious. She was my only sister, and I won't let this go!"
At this moment, Andrew played the victim in front of everyone and said sorrowfully, "Seb, it is indeed my fault. Rylee died in my car, and I can't escape the blame. If hitting me can make you feel better, then go ahead and hit me. I won't fight back. You might as well kill me and let me be with Rylee!"
After saying this, Andrew turned to look at the already buried urn, suddenly knelt down, and cried loudly. "Rylee, how could you be so heartless? Leaving me alone, I don't want to live anymore."
Everyone present was moved and shed tears.
Leon, who had been holding Seb back, quickly whispered, "Mr. Anderson, think long-term. Don't lose your composure now. It'll only hurt us in the long run."
Seb frowned deeply, feeling very helpless.
Seeing Andrew still performing in front of the grave, Seb clenched his fists, unable to bear it any longer, and resolutely turned to leave!
"Mr. Anderson?" Leon, worried about Seb's impulsiveness, quickly followed.
Seb walked along the path away from the cemetery and saw Susan and Catherine standing by a large pine tree. He paused for a moment.
Seeing Seb wearing sunglasses, Susan frowned. She could see the anger and irritability in his expression and feared he might do something impulsive.
So, Susan looked at him and comforted, "Rylee is already gone. You need to accept it and move on."
At this moment, Seb vented all his anger on Susan. "Rylee is dead. You must be very happy, right?"
Hearing this, Susan frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? She used to give you a hard time often. You must have held a grudge. Now that she's dead, you can gloat!" Seb said coldly.
Hearing this, Susan stared at him, speechless. Sadness, anger, and helplessness washed over her in equal measure.
At this moment, Catherine couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to scold Seb, "Seb, it's so cold, and Susan came here because she was worried about you. Even though you two are divorced, she still cares about you. Isn't it too hurtful to say such things? Don't you dare throw her kindness back in her face."
Seeing Catherine, Seb became even angrier and immediately mocked, "Kindness? I can't stand the phony concern of either of you. Who are you to lecture me? My ex-mother-in-law? My stepmother?"
Seb's words made Catherine's face turn very grim, and she was speechless.
Seeing Seb embarrass Catherine in front of her, Susan couldn't stand it.
The next moment, she grabbed Catherine's arm and said to Seb, "No matter what, she is your elder. Isn't that right?"
"Elder? If I had more elders like her, I would never have peace in this life." Seb sneered and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Leon quickly stepped forward to explain, "Ms. Wilson, please don't take it to heart. Mr. Anderson has been in a bad mood these days. I apologize on his behalf!"
After saying this, without waiting for Susan and Catherine to speak, Leon hurriedly chased after Seb.
Watching their backs as they left, Susan comforted Catherine, "Mom, don't take it to heart. He's probably already lost his mind."
Although Susan was very upset by what Seb had said about her and Catherine, she was still very worried because he was in a bad state.
"I know, Todd has also been acting very strange these days." Catherine nodded.
After the funeral, Todd and Catherine left the cemetery together and returned to the central district.
Watching their backs as they left, Susan felt an indescribable sadness, feeling that everyone around her was drifting far away.
In the study, Seb sat at the desk, smoking one cigarette after another.
Leon, frowning, got up and opened a small window. Snowflakes were still falling outside, and a cold wind blew in.
"Mr. Anderson, you were too impulsive at the cemetery just now. You hit Andrew in public, and he is good at acting. Not only did he play the victim, but he also cried in front of Rylee's headstone. Public opinion is now on his side!" Leon said, frowning.
