Chapter 100 Aidan's speed increased rapidly along the way , due to his extreme nervousness . By the time he reached the outskirts of the villa , he had already run ten red lights . To his surprise , his usually stern father didn't utter a single word of reproach at his reckless behavior . They had originally thought there might still be a chance to turn things around . Still , when they finally stood at the front gate of the villa , they discovered that everything the butler had said was true . Outside the villa , Aidan stood where the main gate once existed , gazing at the charred ruins within . The once - warm home had become a wasteland . Blackened , scorched marks spread across the entire villa . Even though they weren't firefighters , Aidan and our father could tell from the varying shades of the villa's exterior where the fire had started . Just as the butler had said , the fire originated in my room . " My bedroom was something that my brother and my father had built together . They had spent twenty years meticulously decorating it in my favorite style . It was filled with everything I had loved since I was a child . " The gifts they'd given me were so numerous they couldn't even fit in the room and now , everything had been destroyed . The villa's fire had only just been extinguished . Aidan could still see tiny sparks dancing in the wind . In an instant , it felt as if a raging inferno had appeared before their eyes again , consuming everything they once cherished . The wailing of the burned villa was like an invisible hand , choking them both until they couldn't breathe . Aidan and my father stood frozen at the entrance , not daring to take a single step inside . It was only then that the butler hurriedly arrived at the entrance . Trembling, Billy handed my father the items I had entrusted to him just the day before . He originally had no intention of handing these items over to the men of my family . After all , in his eyes , I had long since fallen out of favor . He could already guess what these items were , most likely just things meant to salvage past affection . " If I were still alive , once he handed these items to Aidan and my father , it would be fortunate if they softened their hearts . But if they remained unmoved , this matter would inevitably reach Sally's ears . Then , he would certainly face dire consequences . Compared to the father and son , Billy , as an outsider , could see Sally's true nature more clearly . She was petty and malicious . Of course , he would never dare offend her . However , the situation was different now . I was dead and in death , all wrongs are forgiven . Even if I had done something wrong in the past , I would only have a good side in Aidan's and my father's eyes . Besides , those men were part of the reason for my death.R If they hadn't stationed all their personnel at the front door , someone would have noticed the fire as soon as it started in my room . That would also have greatly increased my chances of survival. In other words , I had essentially died because of them . " Given time , they would inevitably realize this themselves and their guilt toward me would only deepen . No , perhaps they had already learned it now . If Billy didn't present something to quell their rage , he would likely meet an even more gruesome end . Thinking of this , his body trembled and his demeanor grew even more submissive . He just prayed that the things I had left behind were truly important , or at least could distract Aidan and my father . With this hope , a glimmer of expectation flickered in Billy's eyes . " My father stared at the small gift box before him , his hand trembling slightly as he accepted it . For some reason , his heart suddenly felt suffocated , What could I have left for him ?! Soon , he took the box and placed it into Aidan's hands . Then , he looked at the butler and asked , " Have you sent someone inside to search ?
