The driver quickly agreed, making a U-turn at the next intersection.
However, by the time Quincy and his men returned to the spa to find Doctor Wally, he was already gone. Quincy kicked over a trash can in the hallway, his hands on his hips, fuming.
Kate knew about his affair with Hulda and had acted so strangely, practically taunting them. She must have had some kind of evidence.
And this spa was a place Kate frequented.
The most dangerous place is the safest. He had been one step too late.
Suddenly, he remembered bumping into Charlotte at the spa.
Could it have been her?
Whether it was or not, he decided it was better to be safe than sorry.
It was about time he dealt with both of those siblings.
Three days later, news of Kate’s death had spread through their social circle. The official story was a drunk driving accident, but the police hadn't confirmed it, and everyone knew there was more to it.
The Rayburn family held a grand funeral for her, attended by her friends and the family's close associates.
Charlotte wore a long black cardigan over a matching velvet pleated skirt, her makeup simple and somber. Standing beside her father, Sean, she noticed Kate's ex-husband, Kane, among the mourners.
Wesley had told her that Kane was a professor at a university in Yonderland who had met Kate while studying abroad, drawn by his love for Vandalia's culture.
At the time, Kate had married the foreign student despite objections from the family. Their divorce, it was said, wasn't due to a lack of love but to irreconcilable differences in their life philosophies that emerged after the wedding.
Kane stood before Kate's portrait for a long time, his silence heavy. Perhaps he never expected to see his ex-wife again under such circumstances.
