Frank’s funeral was held on Saturday.

Frank once said that he wished that he could be buried together with Anna’s mother, Olivia. When Shirley learned about it, she cried so hard at the funeral that she even fainted. She did, however, eventually agree to do so.

However, it didn’t matter if she said yes or not because Anna didn’t agree on this. Also, Anna’s aunt Selina refused his request. Therefore, Frank’s relatives found another cemetery for him and placed his grave just across the path from Olivia’s.

“Frank, don’t worry. I will take care of my daughter and manage the company well. As you know, my brother’s children are all adults now. So, they can all inherit your company according to your will.” Shirley said. Her words made the funeral look like a share distribution meeting instead.

Anna couldn’t take it any longer. She froze and stood there for a few moments before quietly walking away.

Anna felt sentimental.

Frank had started this business with no money at all. He had worked hard for the company all his life, but Shirley took it away from him when he died. To be honest, Anna didn’t think Frank would leave all of his possessions to Shirley and her family in his will. She felt that if he had considered the order, he would have given his money to Allie first.

However, Anna felt that since Frank had passed away, she no longer needed to be around the Gabriels. Before leaving, Anna paid a visit to her mother’s grave. She knelt and pulled the weeds away from the tombstone.

She wept out in despair after seeing her mother’s picture on the tombstone. She said, “Mom, do you see my father in heaven? I’ve actually taken it upon myself to forgive him. I don’t think you would want me to hate him, though. Grandpa told me that the biggest thing you used to expect from me was that I would live my life in peace.”

Anna talked to her mother until she felt she could no longer stand on her own two feet. Then, she was going to walk away when she saw a woman dressed in black standing behind her.

When Anna first saw the woman, she saw that she was wearing a white flower on her shirt, which was a stark contrast to her black shirt. Anna recognized that it was Shirley.

Shirley gave Anna a frigid stare and said meanly, “I‘ve been looking for you everywhere, and I wasn’t expecting you to show up here! Anna, I don’t have time to play games with you right now.”

Anna sensed the irony. Shirley used to always act like a good stepmother to Anna in front of Frank. After Frank’s death, however, she became extremely hostile toward her.

Shirley grumbled and gave Anna a dismissive glance. Her movements appeared to be quite smooth, as if she had practiced them. She said, “The funeral is over now, Anna. But,
