Evan observed the image of the bracelet for a long while. At the side, Selena wasn't sure if he heard her. It wasn't until some time later that he regained his senses. "I might have seen these somewhere before."
"The bracelet had been auctioned off multiple times. Although it is very expensive, a lot of people like them, so people fight over it every time it is put up for auction. Since that is the case, it's not all that odd that you might have seen it before."
Thinking that Pierre had a point, Selena nodded in agreement. Instead of commenting on it, Evan had his assistant make a copy of the image on the phone. "Alright, I will bear that in mind. Your uncle will be handling this." With Evan's help, Selena had regained some hope regarding the matter.
It was always sad when the time to part ways came. The kids seemed to mingle well with their great-grandfather, with Juniper being the absolute favourite of Evan's. After he left, Pierre, Selena and the kids caught a flight back to Astoria.
On the other hand, the guy that had been arranged by Linda to stand watch at the hotel Pierre was staying in reported that he had left, which caught Linda off guard. The fact that Selena left Yucaria was good news, as it meant the search for the bracelet was put on hold for the time being.
At the same time, the investigation on Scott's murder ended without a definitive conclusion, so nobody found out about Linda's involvement. Scott's relatives weren't planning to go after the criminal. On the contrary, his death was much anticipated by them, as they were hoping to divide his property and then leave on their own ways. Therefore, everything regarding the case soon subsided.
Meanwhile, Linda was living the good life with the Murrays. The internationally branded clothes that she never could afford were currently being sent to her in bulk. All of the clothes were given to Linda by Jocelyn, who doted on her, and at the same time, Lindsay gave her even more expensive jewelry.
Ever since that day, she was transformed into a rich young lady. Everyday, when she woke up in her room in Vince Manor, she felt like she was living in a dream. One day, when the Murrays were having a jolly meal, Lindsay and Jerry brought up the topic about Linda's marriage all of a sudden.
"Linda, you're not getting any younger. We can let the past stay in the past, but you need to consider replaceing yourself a new marriage partner. Although Jerry and I wish for you to stay with us, we will have no regrets if we can marry you off before we pass away." Lindsay was smiling as she spoke.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I don't want to get married. I wish to stay by your side, always." Linda was such a sweet-talker.
Ever since she began to live with the Murrays, both Jerry and Lindsay had gotten much stronger. It was as if they suddenly regained their vitality, and all of the illness that used to bother them had disappeared overnight.
"My dear child, it would be cruel of us to ask you to stay with us. Both Jerry and I are as good as dead by this point, so we can't drag you down with us," Lindsay chided.
Jerry fell silent for a moment before saying, "Yeah, I haven't even visited my daughter's grave even though I am already as good as dead. It has been years since I last returned to Astoria. Linda, why don't you show us to your mother's grave in Astoria?"
Linda was drinking soup when Jerry said so. It caused her to choke on her soup, which sent her into a coughing fit. Jocelyn, who was seated nearest to her, quickly patted her on the back gently.
Everyone by the table stared at Linda anxiously as Linda's face turned red from the exertion. Linda wasn't expecting Jerry to suggest visiting Cecilia's grave so suddenly. After some time, she finally caught her breath.
"Are you alright, Linda?" Lindsay asked with a look of concern.
