Bye, My Ex-husband

After a few moments of hesitation, Gordon stepped forward and held her in his arms.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he struggled to find the right words to say.

"It's not your fault.There’s no need to blame yourself.Your parents built this company from the ground, and you paid the price for it.If you gave up, there would be nothing left to fight for.The least you could do is to hold onto the things they left for you."

Janessa’s body trembled as she sobbed, and she struggled to breathe.

She couldn't tell how much Gordon knew.He frowned as he watched her fall apart.

When she became almost fragile in his arms, his heart ached for her.

"I'll help you deal with Aunt Fannie’s funeral.I hope you realize that there are people here to support you."

Janessa sniffed and nodded at his comforting words.

The two rushed back to the hospital together.

When she saw her mother’s limp body, she tightly wrapped her arms around herself.

If it weren't for Gracie and Rayan, she might have been able to see her mother for the last time and say goodbye.

Now, all she saw was her cold and lifeless body.

The tears in her eyes made everything look blurry.

Janessa couldn't decide if what she felt was grief or resentment.

After everything had been arranged, Janessa returned to the Qiu family with her mother’s ashes.

When she got home, she found that the mourning hall had already been set up.

Even the elegiac couplet and flowers had been prepared in an orderly manner.

Janessa grimaced at the sight.

"I've never seen them do anything for me.My mother just passed away.They must be jumping with joy."

When her father passed away, and her mother took a more active role in the company, they were aware that the people around them had been preparing to make their move.

Now that her mother had succumbed to a cerebral hemorrhage and passed away, she was afraid that they would steal everything her parents had worked for.

When her father was still alive, he was a big help to them.

Now, it was up to her.

She vowed never to be as merciful as her father.
