I stared in disbelief,unable to believe that Matthew could do such a cruel thing.This was clearly his son too!
“You can’t do this!”I screamed.
I rushed forward,trying to grab the shovel from his hands.But before I could,the bodyguards behind me blocked me.I could only watch helplessly as Matthew mercilessly dug into the grave with the shovel.
“No!You can’t do this!”I started being hysteric but my words did nothing to stop Matthew.
Seeing that I still refused to apologize,his expression grew even colder and he swung the shovel again without hesitation.Watching my son’s grave being destroyed,I finally couldn’t hold back my pain any longer.
“Stop!Stop!I apologize,I apologize!”
The bodyguards behind me relaxed their grip and I rushed forward,beginning to shovel the soil Matthew had dug up back into its original place.
Matthew simply looked down at me from above and said,“Don’t forget to kneel.”
My body stiffened,but upon seeing the shovel in his hand,I knelt down.Under the scorching sun,I was exposed to the sunlight and soon began to sweat profusely.
After I knelt down,Matthew still didn't let me off the hook.
He coldly looked at me,“Sonya,although I sympathize with you for losing your husband and child,that's not a reason to offend my wife and mother.You will kneel here for three hours,or else I won't let you off the hook.”
After speaking,Matthew carefully took Jennie’s hand and led them to a shaded area.
I didn’t even glance at them,focusing instead on returning my son’s tombstone to its original position.
Apparently feeling that this wasn’t enough to provoke me,Matthew made a phone call.Soon,a dozen red sports cars pulled up outside the funeral,turning the solemn atmosphere into a joke.
Jennie gave me a smug look and then shouted loudly,“Marcus,you’re too good to us.But we’re still at Sonya’s son’s funeral.Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
Matthew affectionately rubbed her nose,“When it comes to being good to you,I never need to consider the occasion.”
After saying that,a group of people got out of the red sports cars.Each of them was holding a gift box.Inside were all kinds of expensive luxury items.It seemed like this was no longer my son's funeral,but rather their luxury item show-off party.
I pinched my palm until it bled,wishing I could drive them out immediately.
Jennie exclaimed in surprise and hugged Matthew beside her,“Matthew,how did you know I’ve been liking this brand of handbags lately?And this set of jewelry—I think it costs a hundred million.You’re really too good to me.”
As Jennie spoke,she glanced at me smugly.Meanwhile I knelt there,my heart as dead as ashes.
Matthew seemed to glance at me from afar.Seeing that I didn't react,a strange feeling arose in his heart.But soon,with Jennie and the child's whining,he completely pushed that strange feeling to the back of his mind.
Watching their sweet appearance,I couldn't take it anymore.My vision went black and I fainted.
Matthew looked at the figure lying not far away and his heart suddenly stirred.He couldn't help but take two steps forward,wanting to help me up.
At that moment,his eyes fell on a necklace slipping off my body.The floral design on it was so familiar—the person who had saved him back then had also worn one.He couldn’t help but pick it up.
“Matthew,how did this necklace end up on Sonya’s body?I clearly remember putting it in the jewelry box at home.”
As she spoke,she shifted her gaze to me,“Could it be that Sonya stole my necklace?But...”
