Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 452

After dinner, the waiters cleared the table and replaced the dishes with bottles of red wine, champagne, fruit platters, and an assortment of juices.

The academy classmates rarely had a chance to get together with their busy schedules. Everyone was in high spirits. A few of the men, arms slung over each other's shoulders, grabbed microphones and belted out a classic rock anthem.

The women gathered in a circle, chatting animatedly. At their age, most were married with children, and their conversation drifted to husbands, kids, and the details of domestic life.

Yvonne sat quietly in a corner, thinking that if she hadn't died, she would be just like them, with a family and children, able to join their conversation about everyday life.

"If you're bored, we can head back now," Bennett said, leaning toward her.

"Let's stay a little longer," Yvonne replied.

After all, she didn't know when she would ever see them again.

Bennett nodded. "I'm going to step out for a cigarette."

"Okay," she said, watching him leave the room.

The private room was a cacophony of sound—the men’s booming karaoke and the women's lively chatter.

Only after Bennett was gone did they dare to bring up Yvonne.

"If Yvonne were still alive, she and Mr. Thompson would probably be married with kids by now. It's a shame. The beautiful die young."

"Bennett was head over heels for Yvonne back then. I thought he'd stay single for her forever. But as soon as she was gone, he moved from one woman to the next. First, it was the official's daughter, now it's this young, fresh-faced starlet. Who knows what kind of woman will be next? Men!"

"Yvonne passed away. Mr. Thompson didn't cheat on anyone. He has the right to get married and build a life for himself. Crystal, you're being too harsh."

"I don't care. I just feel it was so unfair to Yvonne," Crystal said, her voice filled with emotion. She shot a resentful glare toward the corner where the new Yvonne was sitting.

Back in school, Crystal and Yvonne had been good friends. When Yvonne dropped out of the academy for her undercover mission, Crystal had given her an earful.

Yvonne's death in the line of duty was classified; only her family knew the truth. To the outside world, she had died in a simple car accident.
