Tyrone's eyes reddened as he recalled Rena's distress the previous night.

A girl Like Rena deserved to be treated well, and Waylen was nothing but a scoundrel in Tyrone’s eyes, who hurt her over and over.

Rena intervened, stopping Tyrone's anger from escalating.

Waylen longed to embrace Rena in that moment, seeking solace in her presence.

Hiwever, she declined his advances.

Speaking to Waylen with polite detachment, she said, "Thanks to you,

Mr. Fowler, my father could win the lawsuit and clear his name. Now that he's gone and you're willing to pay his respects, I am grateful."

Waylen stood there, stunned.

They had been on the verge of getting married not long ago, and Rena had called him "honey" in their moments of intimacy.

But now, she addressed him as Mr. Fowler again, creating a painful distance between them.

These words felt particularly harsh to him.

However, Waylen had no choice but to swallow his own sentiments.

He couldn't bring himself to leave, and Rena didn't drive him away.

She only treated him as a guest of the Gordon family. Amidst the busy activity surrounding preparations and mourning, Tyrone and some of the Gordon family's relatives attended to the tasks at hand.

Rena, on the other hand, remained seated in her wheelchair, a silent observer.

The following morning, they gathered at Darren's grave, Rena clutching a picture of her late father.

Eloise wept inconsolably.

Rena held her tightly, their bond growing stronger as they leaned on each other for support.

The graveyard exuded an air of solemnity.

Everyone connected to Darren came to pay their respects.

Hyatt arrived with Danna;

Harold came, and even Korbyn and Juliette showed up with Cecilia.
