Keeping vigil until midnight, Joy Lyle told everyone to go rest, saying she'd stay alone. Elliana Lyle wanted to accompany her, but was forcibly taken away from the mourning hall by Phoebe Lyle.
"Go back and have a good rest," Phoebe said.
"Alright, Sister Phoebe, you should too."
They were just about to separate and head to their respective accommodations when Christopher Lyle called out to her.
She turned around, looking a bit surprised at this cousin. He just called her "Sister Elliana." She never heard Christopher call her that before, which caught her off guard.
Under Phoebe's watchful gaze, Christopher glanced timidly at his elder sister, then said to her, "Uncle said you've already cut ties with the Lyle family. Why did you come back?"
"What?" She wasn't unclear; she just didn't know how to respond.
Phoebe coldly chided, "Christopher! Go to bed!"
Seeing this, Christopher dared not ask anymore and said, "I knew Uncle was just a phony." With that, he ran off immediately.
