“Jacqueline,” Cornel rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he had misread the expression on her face, but when he fixed his eyes and looked again, there was nothing wrong at all, but rather more than a little grim.
Jacqueline scolded lowly, with hate in her eyes, “Don’t call me that! You didn’t even take care of my daughter, who are you to call me!”
The guilt in Cornel’s heart rushed up again, not daring to look at her.
Jacqueline lowered her eyes and laughed lowly, “Cornel, do you know why Yolanda jumped to her death at the Brown Group?”
“Why?”
“Because she hated you guys!” Jacqueline shouted hoarsely, her eyes shining fiercely, “She hated you all to death! But she couldn’t do it! She had to die herself, and it was you who forced her to die!”
“Jacqueline, calm down for a moment.” Cornel tried to hold her down, but Jacqueline was too far gone to listen to anything else.
She laughed and shook off his hand, “How can I calm down? My daughter is gone, my life’s dependence is gone …… everything is gone, gone!”
She had thought about it all her life, all her hopes and expectations had been put into Yolanda’s body ……
“Jacqueline ……”
“Don’t touch me!” Looking at his hand that was about to reach out again, Jacqueline turned her head and glared at him, her eyes burning as if with fire.
Cornel stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to move, let alone what to say.
Jacqueline fought his weakness at this point, his eyes were scarlet, “You call me a murderer, but the real murderer is you! You forced my Yolanda to die! Forced her to step on a high building!”
“It’s not like that ……” Cornel desperately tried to explain.
He had no idea that this would happen, “If I had known, I would have stopped her from the beginning and not let her leave the Browns by herself, I ……”
“There was no such thing as knowing!” Jacqueline’s sultry gaze fell on him, “That day, I was going to stop her, you were the one who said, you said, if she didn’t leave, you were going to call the police! Because she took the company’s money, because she knew everything about me, that’s why you were made an accomplice!”
Cornel opened his mouth and found himself unable to refute her.
Jacqueline snickered, “The Browns, don’t flatter yourselves! I’m a murderer, so what if I did harm, but I got my comeuppance, and you!”
She gazed at the person in front of her, who was increasingly too weak to look up.
“Heh!” Jacqueline sneered, “What is the difference between you and me, in the end, we are both executioners …… I will eventually be punished by the law and finally spend the rest of my life, while you, will live in my resentment and Yolanda’s hatred, do not forget, she was killed by you! Don’t forget, she was killed by you!”
She kept repeating the words as if they were a constant reminder of Yolanda’s death.
Cornel was speechless, his face buried deep in his hands, simply unable to face her ……
Jacqueline made a scene also, scolded also scolded, also do not know how long has passed finally calm down, she muttered, “where is my daughter ……”
Cornel a jolt, immediately handed her the necklace.
“Here it is, I brought her here especially to see you, I know that if I let you know later, you will definitely resent me for not telling you, that’s why I ……”
Jacqueline did not bother to look at his remorseful face at this point, but simply took the necklace in his hand with a trembling hand.
Her hand lifted slightly, the gray in the necklace pendant was like a last thought, and she looked at it in fascination and trance ……
“Yolanda……”
She slowly spoke, her gaze did not move away from the half, “you later …… to live well, the rest of your life, if Mom meets you again, will not force you to do what you do not want to do, OK?”
Jacqueline’s words, like a magic spell, Cornel listened to the heart of the unbearable.
Jacqueline turned her face after half a second and looked at him faintly, “What about Yolanda’s belongings? Did she leave anything for me before she left.”
“Yes!”
Cornel, as if he had just been reminded, quickly took out the other thing he carried in his pocket. “This is the recording that Yolanda made before she left, the phone is still being held by the police, I can only take this recording for you to listen to first.”
Jacqueline saw the situation, immediately grabbed the past went to the corner squatting and listened to it.
Listen to listen, tears finally got cathartic general flow down.
She opened her mouth, dumbly shouted the name that she missed the most on the tip of her heart, “Yolanda …… Yolanda ……”
“Jacqueline,” Cornel walked up to her and squatted down, silently circling her into his arms, “Don’t worry, I will let her go in peace, her afterlife, I will also personally take care of it.”
“Yolanda, my Yolanda ah ……”
Jacqueline, as if she had heard nothing, continued to shout the name that would never be answered.
The more Cornel heard, the more his heart ached, and the force of his hold on her tightened silently.
“Cornel ……”
Jacqueline suddenly thought of something like, pushed him away, her hand tightened on his, hatred dissipated, replaced by pleading.
Cornel heart also do not know where to get the strength at once, immediately looked up to hold her hand back.
“Jacqueline, you want to say what you want to do, just say it, I can help, will help you!”
“When will Yolanda’s funeral be held?” She asked expectantly.
Cornel paused for a few seconds before answering, “A few more days after the first seven before sending her away, tomorrow is also the New Year, we must let her stay at home for a few days, after all ……”
After all, this is the last time ……
The last words Cornel did not say, but Jacqueline understood the meaning.
She held his hand trembling slightly, “Cornel, I beg you one last thing, can you promise me!”
Cornel nodded heavily, “Go ahead!”
“I want to see Yolanda one last time, I want to send her away!”
Jacqueline’s sudden request made Cornel’s eyes round, and when she reacted, she almost subconsciously blurted out, “Impossible!”
How can she go see Yolanda when she’s in prison and how can she be sent away?
“Cornel, I’m begging you! This is the only request I have ever made in my life, Yolanda. …… I haven’t had a chance to see her one last time, and now that she’s gone, as a mother, can’t I even send my own daughter away!”
Cornel heart a rambling, after thinking nonsense, he finally shook his head, “No, I can not promise you.”
“Cornel!”
Jacqueline suddenly screamed, the next second, she does not know where to come from the ruthless force to choke themselves, “If you do not promise me, I will die now for you to see!”
