Chapter 403 Vengeance and Ashes
Lily had never met Sharon while she was alive and had no idea what kind of bright, radiant girl the used to be.
chased
But just thinking about that pile of bones in the corner of the basement made her heart ache unbearably
She couldn't help but feel deep sorrow that Charles and Sharon-two people so deeply in love-were forever
separated by death.
Scum like Ben and Jerry couldn't stand seeing others happy, even with death looming.
The things they said to Charles were meant to break him, to keep him trapped in pain forever.
They figured that now that they were arrested, death was the worst that could happen. Charles and the others
couldn't truly do anything to them. That's why they felt free to keep hurting people, with no
remorse.
But Lily believed in the power of the Luke family’s elite legal team-they could ensure those two monsters got a
suspended death sentence.
Sharon had been tortured by them for three whole years...
She wanted them to live three more years before being executed.
And during those three years, with enough money, there were plenty of ruthless inmates in prison who would be
more than willing to give them “special attention“-making them wish they were dead but never granting the
mercy.
After watching the video, Lily couldn't calm down for a long time.
She aimlessly scrolled through her phone, not wanting to see more of Ben and Jerry's twisted faces or the
shattered despair in Charles's eyes.
Then, by complete accident, she cacross a video posted by Susie.
Jenn had told the police that Susie had colluded with the traffickers to sell her and Sharon.
But when the police found Susie, she played completely innocent and refused to admit to any wrongdoing.
The law required evidence to punish someone.

Since Susie kept denying everything, the police had no way of going after her.
Instead, Susie took advantage of the sudden attention to start livestreaming-and made a good amount of money
off it.
In her videos, she claimed to sympathize with Jenn and Sharon’s suffering, but insisted that Jenn shouldn't
defher just because she felt pitiful or was jealous of Susie's bright future.

The comments were split-speople doubted her, others supported her, and the two sider foug viciously.
But no matter how heated the arguments got, without hard evidence, Jenn couldn’t change the fact that Susie
remained free.
Watching Susic flaunt her arrogance and smugness, Lily was seething with rage.
She believed that once those four traffickers were found, they'd provide useful information-and make sure Susie
paid the price.
The more she scrolled through the videos, the more suffocated and upset she felt.
Just as she was about to toss her phone aside and step over to the window for sair, a news headline
stopped her cold.
Charles was dead.
Lily had never met Charles in real life.
But remembering the pain and shattered despair in his eyes from that earlier video, the news still hit her like a
punch to the gut.
She hoped she had read it wrong.
But when she tapped back into the article, it confirmed it-Charles was gone.
Before he died, he had done one final thing.
He had killed Susie.
Brutally.
Charles had a tragic childhood, but he had never been a twisted, deranged person. He wasn’t someone who hurt
others lightly.
He had killed Susie because he trusted in the bond between Jenn and Sharon-and because he wanted to avenge
the girl he loved.
When Susie was on the verge of death, she rasped out a plea for mercy, finally confessing that she had helped
traffickers sell Sharon and Jenn.
She begged him to call an ambulance.
Instead, Charles uploaded the video of her confession.
He never called for help.
He watched her bleed out and die.
After Sharon's death, her parents-who had always favored sons-didn’t shed a single tear. All they cared about
was compensation.
They had sons, they had grandsons-Sharon'’s life didn’t matter to them.

But to Charles, Sharon had been everything.
For the six years since she disappeared, the only thing that had kept him alive was the hope of finding her.
Now that he knew she was truly gone, he had nothing left to live for.
That afternoon, after making sure Susie was dead, he took Sharon’s ashes and went to the place where they first
met a spot beneath a phoenix tree.
Bleeding out beneath that tree, he never woke up again.
