Chapter 6 The doubt

Jerry glanced at Mr. Celeb who had just handed him the note and hair sample, he blinked in confusion and in thoughts he wondered. What is the situation? What does he wants to do with a DNA test? Jerry swallowed hard, and he was curious but dared not ask any more questions.

"Okay, I will be right back with the result," he informed and turned to leave, but stopped when he remembered something. "Mr. Celeb, Miss Kelly's birthday is tonight and she has already invited you before, I was wondering if you would go?" He asked with the corner of his brows raised.

Jerry has always had a strange feeling about Kelly and he knew Mr. Celeb doesn't like her and won't even want to cast a glance at her, but Jerry still pondered why Celeb still helped Kelly silently even when he clearly despise her.

Jerry glanced at Celeb's facial reaction and shook his head at the thoughts that cloud his mind, then he reminded himself that Kelly was Celeb's nephew's daughter-in-law, but whoever didn't know would mistake him to be her secret lover.

Celeb thought about it for a while and nods in response to his question. "Go on and just prepare a birthday gift for her." His mind was still wrapped around on something else and Kelly's birthday was the least, without waiting for a response from Jerry, he walked into the stadium and Jerry went ahead to do what he was told.

Katherine's POV

Crown hill cemetery

I met with Neil, my late father's secretary and he took me to a tombstone halfway up the mountain and turned to me with sadness in his eyes.

"Miss Katherine, this is the tomb where the president has been put to rest," He turned to the tomb and drew a sharp breath. "Mrs. Rose's mother and son found a good placed for the president in order not to be afraid of people spreading rumors." He looked at me again.

Looking at my father's grave, I was hit by a wave of emotion and tears welled up in my eyes, I lowered to my kneels and hugged the tombstone of my father and suddenly I burst into tears, one that I had only cried when my father died.

"Dad, Dad!" My lower lips trembled.

It has been seven years already and all the memories of these seven years were generally played back in my brain. My father was a good man and didn't deserve a death like this.

I had first suffered being in a vegetable state, then I suffered from severe depression when I woke up and all these was because of a mother and daughter I once cherished and took as family.

I bite my lower lips, my eyelashes flickered and I sniffled. Don't they feel guilty about killing my father? I thought in my head as hate slowly spread little by little in my heart.

I hand clung to the headstone, my fingertips turned white and I gnashed my teeth. "Kelly!" I shouted out her name in anger and agony, but none of it made me feel better, I don't think I would be until I pay them back for all they had done to me.

"Miss Katherine, don't be impulsive," Neil quickly told me, I was sure he has suspected my thought and was worried. "Now, Kelly is not what she used to be, she is not only a popular star, but she is also backed up by Grey enterprise inc. and---"

I turned when I saw his hesitation to continue his sentence, but then I watched him grit his teeth before speaking again. "Mrs. Rose married a former company executive two years after the death of the president, now Joey's enterprise Inc. is completely controlled by both of them, if you touch them, you will undoubtedly be wasting your time and energy." Neil told me.

Listening to his words, I can only feel severely pricked in my heart, I have dreamt of nothing more but of revenge, to take everything back, to pay them back, but now it seems like this journey was going to be difficult.

Can I really fight them? Slowly doubts creep into my heart, doubt that was never there when I was returning, and I felt so helpless and so weak right now.

I lowered my gaze. "I see," My voice didn't have much strength as it should have. "I will think about it," I pressed down my lips, it seems like I was already losing a fight I haven't even begun. "Thank you, Neil." I turned my eyes away from him, Neil used to be my father's assistant and he was loyal to him, so I trusted he was trying to warm me about this fight.

"It is also my fault, Miss Katherine," I turned when I heard him sigh slightly. "I didn't see through their scheme at the beginning, otherwise the president wouldn't have---"

"Don't blame yourself for this Neil," I quickly interrupted him, I knew he was also hurting, but I didn't want him to feel guilty. "Tricks are hard to prevent." I tried to comfort him."

I watched him press his lips together, then I slowly glanced back at my father's tomb and sniffled, it was finally good to come here and pay my respect to him, I was thrown out before I could say goodbye to him.

"By the way, Miss Katherine, your things were thrown out by Kelly and Mrs. Rose after your father's death, I had to put away some important things for you," He told me and I looked at him curiously. "I came out in a hurry, but I will bring them next time we meet." He informed me.

I shook my head. "It's okay." I drew a sharp breath and got to my feet as I stared at my father's tombstone for a while before we both left.

Coming out of the cemetery, I turned on my mobile phone and saw a popup message that read: Kelly, a popular actress, was accompanied by her lovely husband, not only was she visited and blessed by the coffee shop manager, even the most famous people in the business circle also arrived at the banquet to join her.

I scoffed feeling heartbroken after seeing the news, and I gritted my teeth and clenched my mobile phone in anger. Why did this woman become a center of attention to thousands of people?

I bite down my lower lips in anger. The resentment in my heart has been unable to go away. It seems like I have to find something to distract me from all of this today.

I took a cab and went straight to the party, when I arrived, I called my son and he picked up at the first ring. "Hello, Son." I said with a smile on my face.

"Hey, mom, what are you doing?" I heard his lovely voice from the other side of the line, but he was a very curious child and always wanted to know what I was up to.

"I still have something to do, so you should order me a bunch of chrysanthemum and send them over to the banquet hall No. 3 of Four Seasons Hotel, and remember, the flowers must be big and the more eyes catching the better." I specified.

"What are you up to, Katherine?" This time his voice was interrogating. "Are you sure you want to order a chrysanthemum?" He asked in confusion and I knew why he was confused

"Of course," I told him with certainty. "What else should be used to pay homage to the dead if not the white chrysanthemums?" I smirked.

I sensed his silence and prayed he didn't noticed something was wrong as he as sharp in that aspect. "Okay, Katherine, please ensure that it would be delivered to you immediately."

"Great." I said with a smile and hung up.
