Chapter 804

No wonder Chris wasn't in the memorial hall. Conrad had taken him captive. Lisa's words had come true. Conrad was willing to make a move even at his own father's funeral. Eden had been taken care of, and now Chris was being held captive. Everything would be under Conrad's control from now on. They said a man must be ruthless to maintain his position. Conrad, once a refined gentleman, had turned into a demon who would turn against his own family. "Maddie, only you can save him," Bree said before breaking into louder sobs. The way she whispered it to me, I realized that she was trying to keep it a secret from Conrad. She was afraid he would lock her up as well. She had no choice but to feign blindness. This was the only way she could signal to me for help. It wasn't that she was afraid of her own son's retaliation—she still had unresolved wishes. Zack had been the man she loved and relied on more than anyone else in her life. Now that he was gone, life held no meaning for her.
