If the events before could be considered coincidences, how I'm sure of it-Anna must have known about my death long before. There was no other explanation for why she kept sending my ashes to my loved ones, time and again. It started with Luke, then Grandma, and the rest of the family.

I don't understand it. I was her biological sister. When was alive, she took everything that belonged to me. Why couldn't she leave me in peace even after my death? Why go so far as to torment me with such insanity?

She must have planned it all out, deciding that my death would remain a secret forever.

And why not? They had reduced me to ashes. Over time, naturally, everyone would forget about me.

They would think I was dead-or simply went missing

But didn't that mean I would have to exist in this ghostly form forever? How long would it last?

I appeared, disoriented, beside Grandma. When I saw her tired, aging face, a deep ache settled in my heart.

Mrs. Lambert brought over a glass of milk. She said, "Old Madam, it's getting late, and you haven't had much to eat tonight. Drink some milk and get some sleep. Ms. Chloe will be fine, I'm sure of it."

Grandma sighed and said. "You saw how shameless they are. I don't know what Anna's been feeding them., but ever since Chloe disappeared, there's been no sign of her. That girl, no matter how angry she might have been, was the most filial one. How could she not contact me? It's likely something bad happened to her.

See? Only those who truly care about you will worry about your whereabouts.

"Old Madam, you're overthinking. I think Ms. Chloe was just upset with Mr. Bolton. If she had contacted you earlier, her whereabouts would have been exposed. She's probably trying to make things difficult for Mr. Bolton on purpose."

Grandma argued, "But I sent people to investigate and found nothing. That girl has never been away from home this long, with no trace left behind. And then there's that bloody wedding dress... I...

How could Grandma not be worried? If it weren't for the wedding dress, perhaps we could have devised a plausible explanation for my disappearance.

Mrs. Lambert comforted, "I went to the police station to ask about the wedding drest. They only found the dress; nothing else belonged to Ms. Chloe. If she had truly been murdered, her body would have been discovered by now, wouldn't it? We haven't found anything, have we?"

"Even so, I can't help but worry about her."

Mrs. Lambert sighed and said, "Ms. Chloe is in her twenties now. She is no longer a child. We live in a law-abiding society, and she always has bodyguards around her. She's fine, just troubled by her emotions. Young people these days like to just up and leave when they're upset. Maybe she's already gone to a beautiful place to heal her broken heart. You're better off worrying about yourself. If Ms. Chloe comes

back and sees how much weight you've lost, she'll be so upset; she'll cry"

After Mrs. Lambert gently reassured Grandina, her face softened. "Well, alright, let's get the milk over here."

"Of course." Mrs. Lambert cheerfully brought the milk to Grandma and coaxed her into finishing it.

Grandma's eyes held a faint hint of exhaustion. Mrs. Lambert pointed to the fine porcelain set and asked, "Old Madam, what should we do with this set?"

She knew Grandma didn't like Anna. In the past, Grandma had thrown away the supplements Anna sent.

"Keep it. Let it bring blessings to my Chloe. Let's hope she comes home soon."

I sighed quietly. Grandma, even if you collect all the blessings for me, I won't be able to come back.

Perhaps doing so would provide Grandma with some comfort and prevent her from experiencing nightmares tonight.

I stood at the edge of the bed, watching as Grandma drifted off to sleep. In my ghostly form, I had no senses, nor did I feel tired.

Since my death, I had no idea how many nights I had watched the sky change from dark to light.

The only improvement was that I didn't have to stay confined to Luke's side anymore.

As long as there was a trace of my ashes, I could move freely. Wait a minute. Ashes...

Suddenly, I had an idea.

Could I use this power to replace my own remains? To discover who had killed me?

I closed my eyes tightly and focused, trying to search for my body's other parts.

When I opened my eyes again, the scene before me had completely changed. I had succeeded.

The scenery here is too familiar, a place I could never forget, not even in my dreams-the Sander residence.

In the living room, my mom rubbed her temples. Anna brought over a bowl and said, "Mom, you know Grandma's temperament. Don't worry yourself over her. Don't harm your health worrying about her. It's not worth it

The bowl my mom was holding looked identical to the one Grandma had used. I gritted my teeth, furious. Anna, you heartless wretch.

She hated me, that was one thing. But how could she disrespect our family like this?

Clearly, our parents had been so good to her. Why was he doing this to them?

Anna placed a bowl of chicken soup on the coffee table. She said, "Mom, I know you've been feeling unwell lately, so I made this specially for you."

My mom opened her eyes and praised. "Anna, you're thoughtful. You're nothing like Chloe, that ungrateful brat. She left without a word for so many days, with no news." I finally saw a flicker of concern on my mom's face.

"Mom, this is my fault. If I hadn't made that phone call to Luke, Chloe wouldn't have gotten upset and left. When she comes back. I'll go abroad so she won't be upset anymore." "That's nonsense. What's wrong with you calling Luke It's Chloe's own fault for being petty. She's throwing a tantrum over something so small, running away from home like a child."

The worry that had briefly crossed my mom's face disappeared, replaced by a calm assurance as she comforted Anna and told her that my disappearance wasn't her fault. I was the one to be blamed.

"But Mom. I'm really worried about Chloe. She's just agirl. What if she's in trouble? Shouldn't we go looking for her?"

"If she's in trouble, it's her own doing. She has no one else to blame!"

My mom's voice turned cold and added. "She's the one who chose to run away. You went and brought her home once, and now she thinks she can do it every time she's upset. Who has the time to keep looking for her? She's an adult now, and yet she still drags the family into her problems."

When Anna said something, everyone else would swarm over her and play the role of the concerned. family member.

And yet, I had been missing for over 20 days, with no word from me. In their eyes, I was just a problem.

If I were alive, I'd demand a paternity test. How could she be so heartless?

In the midst of the conversation, my dad and brother returned home.

They had just finished their business event. Their faces flushed and their eyes a litle glazed from alcohol.

"Why are you two still up so late?" My dad took off his coat and handed it to the servant.

"It's that stock issue again. Penelope won't budge, insisting on leaving everything to Chloe."

Ethan sat down on the sofa and took a sip of lemon tea "Grandma has always favored Chloe. I can understand why she's upset. However, given the recent success of the company, I have discussed this matter with dad. We're transferring part of our shares to Anna."
