Chapter: 785
Aldus, looking at the body within the coffin, clutched his chest, overwhelmed by remorse. His hands
trembled as they rested on the coffin, and his voice choked with regret, “My Aimee is merely
expressing her wrath by running away from home after Learning that I arranged a marriage. I
apologize. I was wrong, horribly wrong.”
Suddenly, the intact body in the coffin began to rapidly decompose.
Theodore understood that it was a natural phenomenon occurring due to sudden exposure to air after
being sealed for many years.
In Theodore’s mind, this was a sign. It was as though Aimee had heard everything and finally found
peace.
Overcome with grief, Aldus staggered, collapsing onto the coffin, his cries cutting through the still air.
He sobbed, his voice breaking as he pleaded, “Aimee, I am sorry. I failed you. Return to us, please!”
“Grandfather, please bear up. I believe mother’s desires have been fulfilled. You must look after
yourself.” Theodore tenderly supported Aldus, his face mirroring the pain of the elder man

finally sprang into action, rushing forward to grasp Aldus’s Legs, his words tumbling out in a panicked
rush, “Mr. Fredrick, my heart belongs to Aimee. The villainous Sharon drove a wedge between us,
pushing Aimee to the brink. I’m still in love with her.”
Turning towards Theodore, Darian implored, “Theodore, we share blood and you could not deny our
bond! Please tell your grandfather that Aimee and I truly loved each other.”
“Get away from us! You’re not fit to speak her name!” Aldus violently rejected Darian, his voice dripping
with anger. “My daughter will no longer be connected to the disgraceful Anderson family. I’m taking her
to rest in the Fredrick family cemetery. Also, Theodore will sever all ties with the Anderson family.
Henceforth, he will be known as Holden Fredrick, and you shall be a stranger to him!”
“No, Mr. Fredrick, you must hear me out. It’s all a grand misunderstanding.“ Darian’s desperation grew,
and his regret became a heavy burden. He felt like a caricature of a man caught in a dramatic farce.
“Silence! I have no desire to hear your explanations.” Propped up by Theodore, Aldus stood tall, his
gaze sternly fixed on the man begging at his feet. “Rest easy; today you will go unscathed. But the day
of reckoning will come. Just wait and see!”
Helpless, Darian watched them depart. He had never imagined the seemingly vulnerable Aimee to be
the heir of the prestigious Fredrick family.
He remained in the torrential rain, his face ashen and consumed by regret. Everything he had would be
gone. He was doomed.
The rain intensified, and Theodore guided Aldus away, leaving only after ensuring Aimee’s remains
were properly cared for.
Back home, Ariana sat by the window, a bundle of nerves, worried sick about Theodore.
The relentless rain showed no signs of abating.
After what felt Like an eternity, Ariana finally caught sight of a familiar car in the distance, and a wave of
relief washed over her.
The apartment didn*t have underground parking, so Theodore had to walk a short distance in the
pouring rain. Despite carrying an umbrella, he was drenched.

Just as Theodore was about to knock on the door, Ariana pulled it open, ushered him inside, handed
him a dry towel, and pointed to fresh clothes set aside. “Finally, you’re back. Go take a hot shower and
get dry. We can’t have you catching a cold.”
Theodore glanced at the neatly folded clothes on the sofa and made a wry joke. “I half-expected you to
have discarded all my belongings.”
Ariana, who was about to towel-dry his hair, snorted and tossed the towel onto his head. “Stop playing
the victim. You’ve been over while I was gone; didn’t you notice your things were untouched?”
Caught red-handed, Theodore blushed slightly.
Ariana couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle at his flustered reaction.
Feigning irritation, she nudged him towards the bathroom. “You’re not as sneaky as you think. Who do
you think took the Little figurine from my desk?”
Halted at the bathroom entrance, Theodore ducked his head, his expression sheepish as he mumbled,
“I thought you might never forgive me; I wanted to leave a memento.”
