Aren\u2019t you afraid that Leigh might be jealous?\u201d Lily jokes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pissed at him first!\u201d Jessie snorts, \u201cKnowing that we are friends, yet he kept Louis\u2019s conspiracy a secret! He should\u2019ve told us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter all, President Smith is his buddy.\u201d Lily purses her lips and says, \u201cGo to the company tomorrow and find out when Jason Smith\u2019s funeral will be, Jessie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jessie nods.<\/p>\n<p>After all, Jason belongs to the Smiths. News of his death spreads around that night and many media rushes to the hospital. But none of them knows how he died.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he was a jerk, but I didn\u2019t expect\u2026\u201d Jessie says.<\/p>\n<p>The pain in Lily\u2019s heart is overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Jason doesn\u2019t have to protect her from the shot, obviously. Nothing would happen if he didn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<p>This favor could never be paid off.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie says that she asked for a day-off and will accompany Lily. It comforts Lily but she doesn\u2019t feel like going home. So now she is staying at Daisy, her mom\u2019s temporarily.<\/p>\n<p>Lily occasionally sees news about the Smiths when she is doing the research.<\/p>\n<p>After Olivia Smith takes over the Smith Group, the stocks become stable. But all kinds of negativity are weighing on the Smiths. Everything is disrupted, in addition to the entire group are laying off many staffs.<\/p>\n<p>Lily sneers.<\/p>\n<p>After learning the truth, she knows how powerful Louis is. Now that he must be plotting something because he quits after letting Olivia be in charge of the Smith Group.<\/p>\n<p>As for what he wants to do, she doesn\u2019t want to know.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie texted Lily that Jason will be buried at the Smiths\u2019 cemetery the day after tomorrow. All the Smith staffs can also attend the funeral to express their condolences.<\/p>\n<p>The day after tomorrow?<\/p>\n<p>Lily stares at the pair of white pearl earrings in her palm. The pearls are round, delicate and very beautiful. She can\u2019t help crying when she thinks of Jason dying in her arms.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the funeral morning, Lily puts on a black skirt and black gauze hat, which add solemnity to her aura.<\/p>\n<p>She sees Coffey waiting there after going downstairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will go with you, Lily.\u201d He is also in black, \u201cI want to thank him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Smiths\u2019 cemetery is in the suburbs. It takes two and a half hours to drive there. The cemetery is very large and was bought by the ancestors of the family fifty years ago. They hope that the entire family would be buried together.<\/p>\n<p>After getting there by car, Lily sees that many cars already had been parked in the open-air parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>Lily peaks at a Pagani while pressing her lips and entering the cemetery with Coffey. She can see many people standing there from a distance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJason, my boy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After walking closer, Lily sees Janet, who is in distress, and looks very haggard. She keeps watching Jason&#8217;s tombstone while crying. There is someone nearby comforting her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lily.&#8221; Jessie runs over and whispers, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think you should have come. Those who are here today are from the Smith family. Look at Jason\u2019s mother.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jason died because of me, how can I not come?&#8221; Lily says.<\/p>\n<p>Jessie sighs.<\/p>\n<p>Lily walks into the crowd and sees Louis. He is sitting in a wheelchair in a black suit, with no expression on his face. As if he could feel her sight, he turns his head and looks over and meets Lily&#8217;s gaze.<\/p>\n<p>When he sees Lily, his eyes move and change.<\/p>\n<p>There seems to be a sense of guilt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe killed my son. What kind of victim is she?\u201d Janet leans forward, while tugging and beating Coffey, scratching a few marks on his face. \u201cI want her to pay for my son&#8217;s life!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chloe is anxious and she wants to step in.<\/p>\n<p>Justin quickly presses her shoulders and whispers. \u201cYou shouldn&#8217;t go. Let Louis solve it by himself. See if he dares to offend another woman in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe old woman scratched my boyfriend&#8217;s face.\u201d Chloe grits her teeth, \u201cThat crossed the line. I never scratch his face even when I quarreled with him!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are such a sophisticated woman, Ms. Lily.\u201d Katherine sneers in a sarcastic tone on purpose, \u201cTwo men from the Smith family are fascinated by you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard about the car accident. Louis blocked a fatal wound for you and lost his legs. And now, Jason is dead because of you. I really don&#8217;t know if you have brought bad luck to the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seems something just hits Janet, and she points at Lily and curses.  \u201cA few months ago, I found you couldn\u2019t take your eyes off Louis at the one-month birthday party of Susan&#8217;s son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, well. Aren\u2019t you a gold-digger?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow did my son treat you wrong? How could you do that to him and kill him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA flirty woman like you should be tortured a hundred times and it won\u2019t be too much! What kind of family had raised a scheming daughter like you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lily\u2019s lips tremble but she doesn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n<p>It is all her fault. No matter what Janet curses, she couldn&#8217;t explain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s enough.\u201d Coffey can\u2019t hold back anymore, \u201cYou could be angry but stop insulting my sister.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen did I insult her? They were all facts!\u201d Janet sneers. \u201cGetting pregnant before going official with Louis&#8230; Going to the Smith\u2019s and showing off prestige? Isn\u2019t that a scheme?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf my own daughter was like this, I would\u2019ve beaten her to death!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coffey squeezes his fist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2140","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
