Chapter 228 She Would, Completely Disappear!

After Grandma Corona passed away, she was in unbearable pain. People cannot come back to life after death, but she wished for her grandma to return to her roots.

She knew that her grandmother must have been missing home.

Wilton had watched over her all night. During the day, he seemed to have urgent matters to attend to, so he had a caregiver come to take care of her.

She left the hospital while the caregiver was not paying attention.

In her life, she truly never wanted to see Devon again, but to bring her grandmother home, she had to go find the person she hated the most.

Corona went directly to the Burke family's villa, where she had lived for over a decade, but this place had never been her home.

Thinking of the kindness of Devon's mother, who had already passed away, and remembering how Devon had once truly loved her like a sister, she couldn't help but tear up.

The doorbell was pressed, and the butler came to open the door. The butler knew how much Devon despised Corona now, but having watched her grow up, he had deep affection for her and still let her into the mansion.

As soon as she entered the living room, Corona saw Devon sitting on the sofa, as still as an ice sculpture.

The butler knew that Corona's visit today must be for some important matter with Devon, so he tactfully withdrew, even closing the living room door behind him.

"Mr. Burke..."

Corona spoke softly, her stomach no longer hurt as much, but because of her grandmother's death, she had cried so hard that her voice had become severely hoarse.

Upon hearing Corona's voice, Devon finally managed to lift his eyelids, feeling utterly defeated.

His face, naturally good-looking, was not much inferior to Zackary, who was known for his once-in-a-thousand-years divine beauty.

But his temperament, it was really too cold and aloof.

A pair of eagle eyes, sharp yet gloomy. His glance swept over, causing one to be involuntarily shrouded in an invisible gloom, seeing no light of day.

"Corona?" In Devon's eyes, there was a bloodthirsty cruelty, "Who let you in?! Get out!"

"Mr. Burke, my grandmother passed away."

Corona really didn't want to cry in front of Devon, but thinking of her grandmother's deep affection for her, and how she died so tragically and helplessly, she couldn't hold back her tears, they rolled down her cheeks.

"Mr. Burke, death is the greatest tragedy. If there's anyone you hate, it's me. Could you please return my grandmother's remains to me? I want... I want to give her a proper burial, to let her return to her roots."

Devon knew how much Corona cared about her grandmother.

Thinking of her grandmother's death, Devon also felt a bit choked up. When he and Corona were still good siblings, she had mentioned more than once in front of him how good her grandmother was.

He had once said that once he found her grandmother, he would definitely give her the best life.

But later, he found Corona's grandmother, but forced them to separate, causing them to be in extreme pain.

He had no regrets, because, all of this, was Corona's own fault!

Thinking of how Corona shamelessly climbed onto his bed, forcing Linda to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, the last bit of warmth in Devon's heart disappeared completely.

He curled his lips, his smile chillingly cold, making him seem even more ruthless and gloomy.

"Corona, you're dreaming! You ruined Linda's life, and you still expect to get what you want?! Corona, who gave you the audacity!"

"Mr. Burke, I know, no matter how I explain, you will not believe me. Since you don't believe, let it be. But, no matter how malicious you think I am, my grandmother is innocent! She has never done anything wrong, you even called her grandma before, I beg you, can you let her go home?"

"Grandma loved home the most. She would have been very, very sad being alone in a strange foreign country."

"Mr. Burke, please, could you tell me where my grandmother is? I want to take her home."

Seeing Devon still unmoved, despair surged in Corona's heart like a tide. She took a deep breath and continued to speak, "Mr. Burke, as long as you return my grandmother to me, I am willing to do whatever you ask!"

"Huh! You're willing to do whatever I ask?"

Seeing Corona nodding vigorously, the mockery in Devon's eyes grew even thicker, "You're just a lady who only knows how to crawl into bed. Besides accompanying men, what else can you do?!"

"Off!"

Corona's body suddenly shuddered, she had never expected that Devon would make such a request to her.

A deep humiliation spread rapidly from her heart to every limb of her body.

She didn't want to take it off, she really didn't.

Even though the living room door was closed, the curtains were open.

If a servant had walked past outside the living room, her embarrassment would have been impossible to hide.

"What, afraid of being seen?" The mockery in Devon's eyes grew even thicker, "Corona, the good deed you did at Linda and my engagement party, who in the vast Sea City doesn't know?! A lady who only knows how to undress, can she understand propriety, justice, integrity, and honor?!"

Corona closed her eyes heavily, then slowly opened them again. She wanted to say, she was not a miss, really not.

But who would believe it!

Ever since she, Corona, was caught in bed by Linda at the engagement party in Devon, she had become the dirtiest prostitute in Sea City!

Take it off, it's been filthy for a long time anyway.

Get dirty one more time, at the very least, I could take grandma home.

Swallowing the salty tears forcefully, Corona exerted strength in her hands, and the light-colored coat she was wearing slipped onto the ground.

Corona's face was ruined, but her figure, with its flawless curves, remained impeccable. The tight sweater outlined her perfect figure, making it impossible to control oneself.

Devon's Adam's apple rolled violently, he despised this shameless woman, yet he found, at this moment, he missed the taste of having her under him immensely.

Or rather, after the day of the engagement party, he could never forget that taste. It was just that, filled with hatred for her and guilt towards Linda, he was unwilling to admit it.

No longer having the patience to wait, he suddenly exerted force with his hands, pressing her onto the sofa in front of him, and fiercely sealed her lips with his own.

At that moment, it was impossible to tell whether Devon was doing this to punish the shameless, malicious woman, or if he simply couldn't help himself.

"Devon, what are you doing?!" Linda's voice, filled with unbearable pain, echoed at the top of the second-floor staircase.

Devon suddenly stiffened, he was so bewitched by this shameless woman that he had completely forgotten Linda was still here.

Rudely throwing Corona on the ground, hatred and disgust interwoven in Devon's eyes. He moved his lips coldly, "Get lost!"

Corona didn't want to see this despicable couple either, but when Devon had just thrown her to the ground, she twisted her ankle and couldn't get up for a while.

Linda stared fixedly at Devon, who was dressed in a sharp suit, and large tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"Devon, you've fallen in love with Corona, haven't you?! Devon, if you've fallen for Corona, I don't blame you. Rest assured, I won't appear in your life again, ruining your relationship with Corona! Devon, I will disappear, completely disappear!"

Linda spoke, and to everyone's surprise, a cold, gleaming knife appeared in her hand. With a firm grip, she ruthlessly swiped it across her own neck.
