Chapter 235
You Hit My Heart
Joyce took a deep breath, held back her anger, and insisted, "I must
attend Grandma's funeral. Unless the police come and take me away,
otherwise, no one can stop me."
At this point, the rest of the few people attending the funeral all looked
over and whispered.
Joyce would never give up on sending Grandma off on her last journey
just because of these harsh words and strange looks. For her, this was
a matter of utmost importance and she would never give up.
"You! Do I just have to do something to get rid of you?" Jacqueline was
so angry that she cursed and was about to raise her hand.
Luther's face turned livid, and he sternly stopped her, "Quiet, where do
you think you are! If you have any arguments, we can talk when we are
back at home. Don't disturb Grandma's peace. Otherwise, you will not
attend the funeral!"
Jacqueline saw Luther's extremely livid face and did not dare to say
more. Finally, she put down her hand. She stared fiercely at Joyce, her
eyes like fire as if she wanted to burn Joyce through.
When the priest saw that everyone had arrived, he began the funeral.
Reading the scriptures and observing a moment of silence.
Finally, Stephanie's spirit armature was closed and sunk into the earth
for burial.
A most heroic life of a businesswoman, after all the glory she had
enjoyed, now came to an end.
Joyce and Luther, standing aside and watching in silence, watched as
the dirt slowly covered the spirit armature and they felt like their hearts
were dug out hard.
Stephanie's life had ended, but the suspense that remained was still
difficult to solve.
After the funeral.
The rest of the people left in twos and threes.
Joyce and Luther also left the cemetery and were approaching the gate
of the private cemetery. Luther went first towards the parking lot, with
Joyce walking a short distance behind him.
It was still raining, and Joyce was walking silently with a black umbrella.
Unexpectedly, a group of reporters hiding in the corner suddenly
gathered around.
All of a sudden, Joyce was surrounded by an airtight crowd.
Not far away, Jacqueline and Shelly watched the scene, looked at each
other, and smiled smugly.
The media, which was called by Shelly just now. Since Joyce dared to
show up, she better not be afraid of the media.
Joyce was squeezed in the middle of the reporters, unable to move.
Suddenly she loosened her grip on the umbrella and it was immediately
blown away by the wind. The dense raindrops hit her face directly,
freezing cold.
Then was an overwhelming round of questioning.
"Joyce, it's said that you were released on bail, but you are still a
suspect. Is it inappropriate for you to show up at Stephanie's funeral
today?"
"Does the police have any evidence to prove against you at the
moment? Do they have any progress? Do you have anything to
reveal?"
âI heard that your Shining Star status will be revoked and the matter is
being discussed in the city, what is your opinion on this?"
"Excuse me, is it true that you are a murderer? And what is your motive
actually?"
âI heard that after Stephanie's death, you will receive a huge amount of
R&S shares and will even be on the board of directors, is it true?"
"Excuse me, is your marriage to R&S president Luther still going?"
âThere are rumors that you have signed a divorce agreement, is that
true?"
"Excuse me, will you be returning to work at R&S Group? The
automotive integrated casting project you were in charge of received
international acclaim, will the project continue?"
