Vernon was worried when Chloe started crying. He requested those words to be embossed in the silver urn as a reminder that Judith didn't die in vain.
She died protecting her grandsons, and Mackie also told him that sometimes her Mommy would cry alone in her room as she was thinking about Judith.
So Vernon knew that Chloe respected her mother a lot, and he thought that giving her the title of an independent woman wasn't wrong.
After all, despite all her problems with Chloe in her later years, Judith was still successful enough to raise two daughters without any help. Vernon also knew that his Big sis Chloe never asked for anything when she was still dating Vincent.
"C—Chloe, love, do you like it?" Vernon asked. He sat right behind Chloe on the floor and hugged her from behind. "I just thought that the title I requested suits your mother. You treasured her so much, right? She was indeed an independent woman, and she died protecting her grandsons. I didn't write anything wrong there, right?"
"Vernon…" Chloe wiped her tears and then stretched her hand to the back until she could feel Vernon's jawline. She caressed his jaw and said, "I can't ask for something better from you. Thank you so much for honoring my late mother."
Vernon was relieved that Chloe liked his gift.
"I will keep my mother's urn for now. I don't know if I will hold a funeral or not for her, but at least I will keep her urn safe with me for the time being," Chloe said. She carefully closed the box and shifted her attention to the other box, which had 'Maria Orien' written on top. "And now, let's check that old witch's urn."
Chloe was excited as she couldn't wait to finally grab the urn of the old lady who had made her and her daughter's life miserable for years, and for this old woman, Chloe had zero pity for her.
Chloe slowly opened the box, and her eyes glimmered with joy when she saw the 'urn' that contained Maria's ashes.
It wasn't a beautifully decorated silver urn like what they got for Judith.
In fact, it wasn't even a metal or glass container.
They actually put Maria's urn in a plastic bag. A small note was written on a piece of paper on top of the plastic bag.
-
Maria Orien.
Born trash, died trash.

"Pfft—Hahaha!" Vernon was the first one to laugh over the message. "They actually do what I told them to do!"
"What did you tell them?" Chloe asked curiously. She had a light giggle as she found it funny.
"Well, I just think that a woman like Maria doesn't deserve to have a proper urn, not even a regular dollar-store glass bottle. So I just told them to store her urn in a plastic bag and write that note," Vernon said. "Damn, this is funnier than I thought, ahahaha!"
Chloe and Vernon laughed happily, and they couldn't stop laughing, especially when Chloe lifted the plastic bag as if she was about to throw the trash out.
It took them at least ten minutes of laughing nonstop until their stomachs were so cramped that they finally stopped laughing. Vernon then asked, "So, what do you want to do with that old bitch's ashes, surely you don't want to keep it, right? I refuse to let her ashes stay anywhere in my house."
"Well, she acted like trash when she was still alive, so I think she deserves to be treated like one," Chloe said. She got up and then walked to the bathroom.
Vernon followed her from behind, staring at his beloved with great interest as he saw her opening the toilet lid.
Chloe carefully opened the plastic bag and stared at the ashes inside the plastic bag and then at the toilet.
She smiled maliciously, a smile that Vernon never saw coming from Chloe before.
She then stared at Vernon and smiled at him, "Is it okay if I dump her in this toilet?"
"Sure, her ashes are yours. You can do whatever with that," Vernon replied. "In fact, I'm very entertained right now."
Chloe giggled and heartlessly dumped half of the ashes into the toilet. Chloe ensured she didn't spill any because she didn't want her ashes to dirty the bathroom floor.
And after she made sure she dumped half of it, Chloe closed, tied the plastic bag, and put it on the bathroom floor. She smiled as she stared at the puddle of ashes floating in the toilet.
"I hope that you don't mind me dumping you in the toilet, Maria. But this is what you did to me back then, right?" Chloe said. "Do you think I don't know that you're the one who gave Vincent the idea to dip my face into the toilet like a bully just because I hid in the bathroom to avoid him? Do you think I don't know that you influenced Vincent of various way to torture me for no reason at all? You vile bitch, this is your end."
Chloe's smile vanished right after she 'talked' to the ashes. She then pressed the flush, and the ashes spun with the water and were sucked in until the water was clear again.
Chloe then closed the toilet lid and washed her hand on the sink before picking up the plastic bag containing half of Maria's ashes.
She smiled at Vernon, who had been dazed as he kept his eyes on her the whole time, "Vernon, I'm sorry that you have to see me like that. But I just can't help feeling so bitter and angry at Maria. She's the one who kept on telling Vincent on what to do to make me submissive. She's the one who told Vincent methods to torture me."
"No, not at all, love," Vernon said. "I like you this way more. You're so sexy when you have that evil smile. It gets me horny in fact."
