One Night Surprise

Chapter 215 Who I Am Is Not Important

Lucian’s funeral was scheduled for Saturday. When the morning ceremony ended, family members brought his ashes to bury at the cemetery. His final wish was to be buried next to Cecilia. When Susan found out, she had cried so hard and fainted once during the funeral, but she still agreed in the end.

Her agreement was pointless, though, because Courtney did not agree. Moreover, Alicia had also rejected the idea. The Hunter Family had no choice but to find another grave; one that was on the other side of the road from where Cecilia was buried.

“Don’t worry, Luke. I’ll take good care of your daughter when you’re not around anymore. I’ll manage the company. My brother’s children are all grown up now. They are more than capable. According to your will, they all have the right to inherit the company.”

Susan turned the peaceful funeral into a meeting for the allotment of shares.

Courtney was sick of listening to her. After standing in a daze for a while, she snuck away from the rest of the group.

In fact, Lucian had built his career from scratch. He had endured hardships all his life but ended up falling into Susan’s schemes. Courtney did not believe that he had left all his inheritance to Susan and her maternal family in his will. Even if they went in order, it was only right that the inheritance went to Courtney first.

But his death also brought an end to everything. She no longer wanted anything to do with the current Hunter Family.

Before she left, she went to visit her mother’s grave.

Bending down to pull out some weeds, she then looked at the picture on the gravestone and lamented, “Mom, you can probably see dad on the other side now. I’ve taken the liberty to forgive him, but I’m guessing you don’t need me to hate him. Grandpa told me that when you gave birth to me, you named me Courtney with the hope that I would live a dignified life without being plagued by worldly troubles…”

After murmuring to herself for a bit, her legs started to get tired. She turned around to leave when she saw a black silhouette; the white flower on the chest of the black blouse was an especially harsh sight.

Susan glared at Courtney and chided, “I’ve been looking for you everywhere, but you were all the way on this side. Do you think I have nothing better to do?”

In the past, she always acted as a dutiful stepmother in front of Courtney’s father. But now that he was gone, there wasn’t a need for her to keep acting that way anymore.
