One Night Stand With The Uninvited Wolf President

Chapter 344 The Dust Settles

Jamie knew that she would die.

But she didn't want to die alone. She wanted Ceres to die with her, as Jamie couldn't allow Ceres to

live a good life. Never!

Jamie pulled the trigger.

Bang!

"Be careful!" Johny was far away from Ceres when Jamie shot. He ran toward Ceres, but it was too

late!

Ceres did not have time to do anything, so she closed her eyes. But she didn't feel the pain.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Sally standing in front of her.

Roy reacted quickly and kicked Jamie's wrist. The pistol fell from Jamie's hand. Roy subdued Jamie!

"Mom!" shouted Ceres, as Sally collapsed.

Ceres tried to support Sally, who had already been beaten hard by Mike. Blood trickled out of her

mouth.

But Sally was smiling.

"Ceres, my honey..."

Ceres had complicated feelings at that moment. "Why did you do it? Do you think that because you

protected me once, I will forget all the suffering that I endured? Do you think I will forgive you?"

Wearing a smile, Sally stretched out her hand to touch Ceres's hair.

Ceres never had any recollection of Sally being so close to her. They had never had a kiss or hug.

Sally had never even touched Ceres or given her a gentle look.

"I know you will forgive me. I'm sorry, Ceres. I'm still taking advantage of you before I die. I need to ask

you a favor. I want a proper burial. I want to die with dignity."

Ceres bit her lips tightly. It turned out that Sally took the shot for her so that Sally could be buried

properly.

How dared she!

"Ceres, I know I have let you down. You are right. I am vain. I have been beautiful since I was a child.

Men loved me because of my good looks. But I thought I was too good for them.

"I couldn't waste my beauty. I wanted to find a rich, honorable man. Then, I could be a rich lady, living a

comfortable life. I could do anything in exchange for that.

"You were a mistake. I shouldn't have given birth to you, but I couldn't do anything about it. When you

were living in the Morris family, I treated you poorly. But I didn't have a choice. Otherwise, how could I

live in the family?"

"I know I've been partial to Mary. But it is because I know this is the best choice. You have always

hated me. I won't make up for you no matter how good I treat you. So, I cling to that course.

Ceres resisted the urge to cry.

She still hated Sally.

"Ceres, you're a good daughter. You've always been mature for your age. That comes with a cost. You

will bury me properly, won't you?"

Ceres remained silent.

Jamie watched as Sally fell into Ceres's arms, and spat blood. Tears trickled down from Jamie's

cheeks.

Sally was indeed a vicious woman, but she was still their mother!

"It's so nice of you. Look at my face. All these bruises and scars. When I'm dead, please cover them

with makeup. I was born beautiful. I hope when I die, I can still be dignified. I will leave it to you."

Sally cast a look at Jamie and sighed. "Mary, I haven't let you down. You know how nice I've been to

you. I don't have anything to say anymore."

She turned to Ceres again. "You deserve a much better mom."

With that, blood gushed out of Sally's mouth. She groaned before breathing her last breath.

Ceres broke down in tears.

She no longer had a mother.

"Mom!" Jamie dissolved in tears.

The episode finally came to an end. The dust settled.

In the hotel.

Ceres was sitting in front of the window in a black suit, looking haggard.

The memories of Sally flashed back. All were terrible memories full of insults, beatings, and even

humiliation. They occupied her mind.

But Ceres was still sad when Sally died.

Johny opened the door and got in. He walked slowly in case he would wake Ceres up. Seeing she was

wide awake, he walked to the bedside, sat next to her, and wrapped his arms around her.

Ceres was locked in Johny's embrace.

"I did what Sally told us before she died. Her face has been repaired. Mike and she were cremated. I

brought back the ashes. Where are you going to bury her?"

"Bury her and Mike together in the family cemetery of Morris." Ceres didn't resist the urge to cry. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I don't want her to disturb my father. She never loved my father, although he loved her. It was Mike

that she loved the most. Mike gave her the life she had dreamed of."

"Alright."

"Take Jamie back with you. We will deal with her problem after they are buried."

"It's up to you."

Johny hugged Ceres tighter. "It's all over."

Ceres hugged Johny back as she cried, "Why? Why is she still haunting me even if she died? Why was

she scheming against me until the last moment of her life!"

Johny gently stroked Ceres's hair. "She had no choice. This is the only way that you would bury her

properly. But she must have regretted everything she did to you. Don't you think so? She knew that she

owed you. If she was still alive, she would compensate you."

"You're right! Why did she take the bullet for me? She owed me! She should have paid me back before

she died!" Ceres shouted, venting her anger.

Johny knew Ceres was so hysterical because she had suffered too much. He knew she still wanted a

mom.

"It's fine. Everything is over."

"Let's go home." Ceres snuggled against Johny's chest.

"Yeah, let's go home."

The next moment, they heard a knock on the door. It was Johny's subordinate.

"Mr. Johny, Caleb sent his men here."

Johny patted Ceres on the head before walking out. The moment he left, he saw Roy.

"Mr. Johny, thank you for your help. Mr. Caleb is very grateful to you. He hopes to invite you to lunch to

repay your kindness."

"I don't think this is necessary." Johny was still cold to Roy. "Anything else?."

"Mr. Caleb wants Carly to do a paternity test."
