Chapter 358 I'll Play Along At this moment, as everyone's attention was focused on the white cloth, Kelly knew that no one had noticed her. She quickly wiped the joy off her face. As Oliver's granddaughter, Kelly naturally had to act devastated.
"What... What happened?" Kelly asked in a trembling voice. She looked uneasy.
Everyone turned around upon hearing her voice. Kelly stared straight ahead and pretended to be in shock. Her steps were unsteady as she walked over, threatening to fall at any moment.
She really was an actress. While Miles couldn't conceal the glint in his eyes, Gabriel, who was not in the crowd, simply sneered. He saw through Kelly's act from the start. He even noticed the change in her expression.
Even though Gabriel had seen many sinister things, he was still shocked by Kelly's sorrowful act. He wanted to see what Kelly would do next. Kelly had no idea that the play she was putting on had turned into such a spectacle.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe crowd instinctively parted when they saw her. As they did so, Kelly saw the person lying on the ground covered by the white cloth. Although the cloth concealed his body, his hand was exposed. The watch on the hand was the one Oliver often wore. It was Oliver! "Is it... Grandpa?" Kelly seemed to be in disbelief. She stumbled forward but stopped a few steps away from Oliver's body. Although she was aware of how Oliver died, she had to keep up the act. As if unable to bear the sight, Kelly trembled and collapsed onto the ground. She cried out in sorrow, "Grandpa! How could this happen?" She repeated the question over and over as if prompting a response from the audience. In a panic, Kelly looked around and searched for Gabriel. She saw him standing sdistance away from the crowd. "Gabriel! What happened? Didn't you go looking for him last night? How did this happen?" She started sobbing as she continued, "It was all my fault. I shouldn't have been afraid because of that one person..." Kelly's cries sounded like she genuinely blamed herself. If he didn't know the truth, even Gabriel might have believed her performance. But unfortunately, he did.
Gabriel hesitated for a moment before approaching her. He said, "We searched for a long time. It wasn't until dawn that we found Grandpa's body floating over there." Gabriel pointed to a huge rocky cliff on the mountain's face not far away.
Following the direction of his finger, Kelly realized something. It seemed like the man had brought Oliver there and tossed him into the sea. There were many protruding rocks under the cliff. It would certainly be unpleasant for someone to fall like that.
"Kelly, I know this is hard for you to accept, but you're his granddaughter. You should see him one last time..." As Gabriel spoke, he began walking toward the "corpse" and reached out to lift the cloth covering it. He wanted to let Kelly see Oliver one last tto soothe her grieving heart.
But as soon as he touched the white cloth, Kelly hurriedly interrupted him. "No!" Gabriel's hand froze and he looked at Kelly. Even though he already knew the answer, he asked, "You... don't want to see your grandfather?" It wasn't that she didn't want to see him. She was afraid to see him. Oliver must've looked miserable, and Kelly was afraid she would have nightmares if she saw his body. Her mind refused, and her body followed suit.
However, she also realized that if she didn't look, the sorrow and sadness she displayed just moments ago would lose its impact. Her "no" earlier had already raised suspicion. How was she going to cover that? Suddenly, Kelly thought of the butler. She silently sat on the ground, looking limp. She made it seem like she wanted to get up and get closer to Oliver.
However, despite trying her best, her attempts weren't successful. She could not stand. Miles signaled to a nearby servant.
The servant immediately approached Kelly to support her. With their support, Kelly had no choice but to stand. Supported by the servant, Kelly slowly walked toward the "corpse." Gabriel grabbed ahold of the white cloth, attempting to lift it. But Kelly had made up her mind not to look.
As Gabriel's hand started to lift the cloth, Kelly's body went stiff. This time, she closed her eyes and fainted. All of this had been expected by Miles and Gabriel.
Gabriel sneered. He hadn't intended to uncover the white cloth. And Kelly, as expected, did not disappoint with her acting.
Gabriel lowered the cloth and "caringly" instructed the servant, "Take good care of Kelly. She's Grandpa's only remaining relative. There must be no mistakes." The "unconscious" Kelly was quite satisfied with this statement. That's right. Now that she was Oliver's sole heir, it was only natural that everything in the Young family would belong to her. Although Kelly didn't control the Young family's business yet, she wasn't afraid. As long as Oliver's will was intact, no one could take it away from her. But Kelly still needed an ally.
As Kelly was carried away by the servant, she began to plan everything. Because of Gabriel's helpful words, she decided to choose Gabriel as her ally.

After she took control of the Young family, she would finally be a match. for Jonathan. And by then... Kelly was overjoyed at the thought. At this m ve moment she no longer considered Rose a threat. Kelly noticed earlier that there was only one body. They probably hadn't found Rose yet. Or perhaps, after being violated by so many men, Rose was too ashamed to appear. But even if Rose was hiding, Kelly wouldn't let her go that easily. The most important thing now for Kelly was to contact Maya.
Kelly was placed in the car. She continued to feign unconsciousness but listened closely to her surroundings. Oliver's body was lifted into the dar It seemed like they were in a hurry to return to Aquastead. Something clicked in Kelly's mind. That's right. Oliver's death was big news. There would be a lot of matters to attend to afterward. It was understandable that they were eager to return.
Kelly also wanted to return to Aquastead soon. Oliver's will was still in his room. Kelly needed to figure out a way to expose the will as soon as possible and not give anyone a chance to tamper with it. With that thought, Kelly beceven more eager to return. A group of people brought Oliver's "corpse" into the car. But after driving for only a short period, the car suddenly stopped.
"There's sconstruction ahead. We must cross by boat." X RULE #1 choose married women Kelly vaguely heard Miles say something in response, and the people got out of the car and onto a boat. At this moment, Kelly took the opportunity to "wake up." It seemed like everyone's attention was focused on Oliver's "corpse," and they didn't notice her. Even so, Kelly continued to play the role of a "heartbroken" and "grief-stricken" granddaughter.
They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
