One Night Surprise

Chapter 221 Why Are You Blushing?

“Sis, it’s been quite chaotic lately. I don’t think you should go to Anna’s funeral.” Shay’s voice, fused with a voice tuner, came through the phone.

“Maybe if I didn’t know about it. But, since I’m aware, I don’t have a reason not to go. I have to pay my respects. She’s dead. It’s not something to argue about.”

She straightened out her black blouse and black wide-leg pants in front of the mirror, then tied her hair up at the back of her head. Through her wireless earphone, she heard Shay sigh. “You be careful. I still have work to do here so I can’t leave yet, but I might be able to make it. I’ll just be a bit late.”

“Okay. Be careful on your way here,” she exhorted and hung up the phone.

Even outsiders claimed that Anna’s suicide was unexpected. After asking a few directors who were present at the time, however, they found out she did jump off herself. According to the statements, it was very chaotic at the scene. Not to mention, the source of that chaos was Susan.

Anna was already gone. At least, her uncle had taken it upon himself to arrange her funeral and contact anyone who could be reached, including Courtney.

Aside from the flower wreath, the only two colors left at the funeral were black and white. So few people had attended that Courtney almost thought she came at the wrong time. Well, after such a big scandal at Hunter Group, who would want to forge connections with them?

After bowing in front of the grave, she walked up in front of Anna’s uncle. “My condolences.”

“Mm.” He nodded his head, his eyes slightly red. “Anna might have had a bad temper, but she was a sweet girl.”

Courtney could not agree to that completely, but since she had to show respect to the dead, she did not say anything else and simply nodded. With that, she turned around and started to leave.

“Wait,” Anna’s uncle called out abruptly. “Anna jumped because she could not bear the pressure of dealing with the company’s problems. Now that the company has turned out this way, shouldn’t his children be responsible for it?”
