“Tyler?!”The moment Olga’s eyes landed on Tyler, fury blazed through her like wildfire. Of all the people she never wanted to see at Aria’s funeral, Tyler was at the very top of the list.His mere presence unsettled her. Countless thoughts raced through her mind, each one more terrifying than the last. What if he said something unexpected? What if he revealed something capable of dragging her into trouble?Olga’s chest tightened.What is he even doing here?And what did he mean by that statement?But before Tyler could answer, Olga stormed toward him in rage.“You animal!” she screamed. “What the hell are you doing here? And how dare you come here to disrespect my dead daughter during her final rites?!”Tyler slowly lifted his gaze, looking her up and down before letting out a cold scoff.“Your dead daughter?” he repeated mockingly. “Disrespecting her?”A faint smirk crept onto his lips.“Well, just in case you don’t know, if there’s anyone disrespecting the dead here, then it’s defi

The moment Olga saw Aria standing there alive and breathing, her black eyes nearly flew out of their sockets. Her legs wobbled like badly fixed noodles, and before anyone could even ask what was wrong, she dropped to the floor dramatically and fainted.Instantly, Becca released the loudest scream of the century.“GHOSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTT!”That one scream alone was enough to scatter the entire funeral ground.Chaos exploded immediately.People started running helter-skelter as if the cemetery itself had opened up. Nobody even bothered to confirm whether Aria was truly dead or alive. The moment they heard “ghost,” survival mode activated automatically.Even the priest forgot about dignity and holiness. He grabbed his robe and sprinted away faster than everybody else.One old woman removed her slippers while running.A man abandoned his own wife halfway and shouted, “Baby, save yourself!” before disappearing into the crowd.The media reporters dropped their expensive cameras on the ground

Olga clutched the side of her face where the slap had landed, her mind spinning in utter disbelief.She couldn't believe what had just happened.Did Aria... did Aria really raise her hand against her?The very same Aria she had manipulated into loving her so deeply.For the first time ever, Aria wasn't just talking back or standing up to her. She had actually slapped her.The shock wasn't limited to Olga alone.Chloe stared in stunned silence as blood trickled from the corner of her lips. Her eyes widened as she struggled to process what she was witnessing.The same Aria who never joked with Olga.The same Aria who respected her aunt so much.That Aria was the one who had just slapped her?Olga slowly shook her head, still unable to accept reality as she fixed her gaze on Aria.“Did you just... did you just raise your hand against me?”Aria's eyes blazed with fury.“And that's only the beginning of what I'll do to you. After everything you've done to me and my family, a slap isn't nea

Rather than replying to Olga's inquiry, Tyler took a step forward.“You won't be arrested by the police.”His voice was calm, yet every word carried weight.“You will be arrested by the General of Team Elite himself.”A wave of shock swept through the guests.Murmurs instantly erupted across the room.Even Becca and her mother exchanged confused glances, wondering where this was heading.But Tyler wasn't finished.He looked straight at Olga and continued,“After everything you've done, the General won't show you even a shred of mercy.”“And what General are you talking about?” Olga asked quickly, replacing her brief confusion with a mocking smile.“The General of Team Elite?”She laughed.“The same man whose identity nobody knows?”“The same person who is probably somewhere abroad enjoying his life?”She shook her head dismissively.“Is that the General you're talking about?”Her eyes filled with ridicule.“You're completely mistaken, Tyler.”She lifted her chin proudly.“Because no m

Following Aria's words, the room fell silent once again as all eyes landed on Tyler, waiting for his response.At that moment, Tyler clasped his hands behind his back and barked out a command."Permission to enter!"Immediately, the cemetery gates swung open once again.Two figures walked in.One was Aisha Ahmed.The other was Mr. Woods, the Acosta family's personal lawyer.The instant Aria, Chloe, and Olga saw him, their eyes widened in shock."Mr. Woods?!"The three women exclaimed in unison, staring at him as though they had just seen a ghost.In a way, it felt exactly like that.Ever since the late Sir Acosta Sr. passed away, Mr. Woods had practically vanished from their lives.The bank and insurance company had informed them that all of Sir Acosta Sr.'s properties, assets, and final wishes would be handled and announced by Mr. Woods.Naturally, they had contacted him countless times, demanding that he read the old man's complete will.However, when Mr. Woods finally agreed to mee
