is was beyond thrilled. “Thank you for your kind recognition, Ms. Vale. Mr. Levinsky, would you be open to ”
“Absolutely, I’ll keep everything that Mattie loves,” Bernard interrupted her, his arm around jullet’s waist, his gaze soft and affectionate.
Bernard, what do you think about letting Iris host a concert? Maybe at Belcrest’s Concert Hall? It has plenty of room,” Juliet suggested with a warm, happy smile.
It‘ face dropped. “Ms. Yule, that venue is tied to a murder case. People say it’s cursed.”
et paused for a moment, then spoke suddenly, “Oh, right. Talmost forgot. Six years ago, Mrs. Walsh went to the concert in your place and ended up getting murdered by that serial killer. I heard it was horrific. They found her body, cut up and shoved into anum.”
Iris‘ face went pale, her voice shaking. “Ms. Yuk, I’ve carried that gult with me over since. I’ve been praying every day, hoping to bring peace to Juliet’s soul”
“that’s the case, holding the concert there would be perfect,” Jullet said, noticing the color drain from Iris‘ face and the tremor in her legs. “What’s the matter? Are you worried her ghost might come back for revenge?”
tis quickly lifted her head, her eyes wide with panic. “N–no, of course not. It’s just. I haven’t performed in so long. I’m a little out of practice, that’s all”
Juliet gave a slight smile. “Then It’s settled. Goodbye, Iris.”
Iris forced a tight, uneasy smile. “Goodbye.”
Juliet slid into the car. As it pulled away, she glanced back at the hospital balcony. Iris stood there, speaking urgently into her phone, her face etched in fear.

The moment he saw her, his eyes filled with emotion, and his voice wavered. Juliet, I heard about what happened from Mr. Walsh. It really is you, isn’t it?
“I’m so sorry, I used to care more about iris, and hurt you so much. From now on, you’re the only one who matters. Please, come home with me. I bought our old house back, and

“Seth, have you lost your mind? This is my sister, Natalie. She’s not your dead sister. Now get out of here!”
Harvey Wule then turned to Juliet, his tone softening as he gently ruffled her hair. “Nattie, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re sate. I’ll bring in more people to protect you. He won’t get anywhere near you.”
Juliet watched Seth as he knelt on the ground, his sobs spilling out uncontrollably, she was surprised
Back when she’d been ale, Seth had always backed tris, making Juhet write songs for her and sew her dresses. She’d been treated like a servant. Not once had he ever thought about how she’d fel.
But now, after her death, he’d done a complete turnaround, acting like some kind of devoted brother. How ironic.
