The funeral didn't end that easily, really...
As soon as Elizabeth stepped out of the hall to breathe some fresh air, her eyes met the heat of lights from all directions, whispering:
"What the_.."
She finds herself surrounded by a crowd of journalists speaking at an unbelievable speed in her ears from all directions, with extreme intensity: "Miss.-.. Miss-... Miss over here-... Miss..-"
"Can you describe how your mother died?!" one of them asks.
Her aunt's shouts to them to move aside didn't seem to help; her words, "Hey!! Get out of the way!!" were trembling as she tried in vain to push them away...
She finds herself being dragged away from her Her niece . "Haaaaaay!!" she screams in panic, but it's too late; they all begin to gather around Elizabeth like a pack of wild boars...
One of the female presenters approached the young girl, who looked confused and shocked by what she was seeing, and the presenter shouted loudly, "They say your mother had a head injury before she died... Can you tell us what happened before she went to the hospital?"
"Auntie!!!"
Elizabeth screams, trying to stand on tiptoe, searching for Isabella who is being pulled further and further into the crowd of human animals, who are clinging even tighter to the young girl...
"Can you describe what the criminal looks like?"
"Does your family have any enemies?"
"So, did your mother die from internal bleeding? Do you know any more details?"
Strange faces surround her with their pale features, wanting to devour her to extract any information, and cameras are all around her to reflect her image directly from everywhere.
The veins in her neck and face became more prominent; she began to feel angry. "Get out of my sight, you idiots!!"
But who are you fooling? They're the kind of people who stick their noses in the moment they smell hot news___
On the other side, Jack appears to be watching from afar, whispering to himself, "Here we go again."
With an indifferent face covered in bruises, while Clara, at his side, tries to treat him with a worried expression...
"Why didn't you move when he hit you, sir?" Before she could place the ice pack in his face, he clenched his teeth tightly with even greater indifference, ignoring her with rolling eyes. "Who would believe that this arrogant man could be this weak?!"
His eyes went to Henry, who stood like a Halloween scarecrow, unconcerned with what was happening around him; he didn't seem likely to try to get his daughter out of the crowd at the moment...
Veins gather in her forehead, disbelieving what is happening, with a raised eyebrow...
Finally, slowly... she picks up the microphone of the presenter, who is unleashing a torrent of questions without pause, pointing the camera at Elizabeth's face, who stands frozen in place with blank expressions, muttering, "Jeffrey... or whatever your name is..."
Suddenly, she grabbed the camera with both hands, bringing it closer to her hate-filled face. "I'll make you wish for your death," she said through gritted teeth...
It seems that...some guest...was watching this interview, sitting in his chair before blowing out the smoke from his cigarette with cold blue eyes, leaning back in his chair before one of his men spoke beside him, "Didn't we break into this girl's house a few days ago, sir!??"
And so his master hummed... slowly, before a small smile appeared, "... seems we're not the only ones in this game , isn't that interesting?"
As for Elizabeth, who is suffering amidst the crowd, she feels a hand tightly wrap around her arm before her whole body is lifted off the ground, causing her to gasp, "Oh my God!!" She looks behind her...it's Isabella, who shouts, "found you!!" and pulls her into his arms, away...
"What a bunch of crazy !!"
Her aunt screams in a very angry face, directing all her anger at Jack, who stands motionless, trying to avoid her eyes in every way possible, muttering, "What a useless !!!."
"I felt like I was suffocating!! How did they find out about my mother's death so quickly in the first place!!"
Elizabeth says in complete disbelief, as if she is in a nightmare and not in reality, clutching her chest to finally breathe... Emma comes rushing in panting from afar with eyes full of tears, "Thank God you're okay," before hugging her tightly, crushing her dear friend in her strong arms, "I thought they would swallow you up there!!"
