Kevan modded with a straight face and comforted her st iffy. âPlease accept my condolences.â
His indifference made tears well up in Violetâs eyes once again.
Looking up at Kevan, she opened her mouth to reproach him, but in the end, she pursed her lips without another word
âOh, is Kevan here as well? Kevanâs uncles appeared with their families in tow.
There were no signs of grief on their faces. Instead, they were smiling in satisfaction.
Bemard stared at Violetâs lace and remarked with displeasure. âViolet. Iâve told you belore, this occasion is a celebration of life for Father. He passed away peacefully in his sleep. How could ne rast in peace with you crying I ke this?â
Volet lowered her head wordlessly as her grip on kewanâs arm lightened.
Narrowing his eyes, Kevan couldnât stop the hostility that arose within him.
âItâs natural to feel sad when a family member has passed away. On the other hand, an al about all of you? Are you happy because Grands is at peace, or because youâre about to get your hands on his inheritance?â he demanded.
âYou b astardâ Demard widened his eyes. âHow dare you speak to your elders like that?â
In an instant, there was tension in the air.
Anthony pulled Kevan aside with a stem lace. âDon 1 stir up trouble here. Arenât you busy with work?
Go back immediately.â
Kevan didnât want to leave, but he was also tired of seeing the smug looks on his urcesâ laces.
âFine.â He nodded and left right away after saying goodbye to Violet.
When Keyan lell the main hall, Bernard and Felixâs families gathered together and started gossiping about him.
âWhen Father was still alive, his favonte grandson was Sewan. Whatever the desired, he received.
Whatâs the use of lavoring that ungrateful b astard? Now that Father is gone, Kevan didnât even stay back to keep vigil! What a heartless childâ
Their voices were very loud, loud enough for visuel to hear every word.
Violet was already at the end of her patience. When she heard the sarcastic remarks they made, she couldnât bear it any longer.
Despite Anthonyâs attempts to stop her, Viet rushed up to them and shouted in anger, âWhose lault is it that Kevan has become like this? Back then, none of you had shown any concem when that tragedy happened. Donât assume that Iâm unaware that all of you gloated behind our backs! Our family never thought of lighting for the inheritance as we have raised Kevan well-unlike your children! Each of your children is a useless leech that lives off their parents wealth. Even at this age, they still donât know how to work hard and earn their own
Molet was luming mad. Her harsh words were brutally honest and left them no room to save lace
âViolet, what do you mean by those words?â
âWho are you calling leeches?
âViolet Father would be turning in his grave if he heard this trade! How could he rest in peaceââ
After Violet finished speaking, Berard and Felixâs family surrounded her and bombarded her with accusations.
Anthony quickly stepped forward and shielded Violet behind him,
With a stem expression on his face, he defended his wife. âDid Violet say anything wrong? Since Codyâs wedding until now, none of you. have glan us an explanation regarding Keyanâs assault. Al youâve done these six years was fight for power and wear by kicsing us out of Soaring Corporation I did not take action against your families because I didnât want the situation within the family to worsen and make Father worried However, now that he has passed on, Iâm no longer restricted by these concems.
Donât blame me for being ruthless if you insist on shring up trouble!â
Anthony was the frstbom of the second generation. After Holand stepped down, he was in charge of Soaring Corporation for the longest time. The weath of experience he had brought about a commanding presence in both his
Now that Anthony had spoken up, they could only grit their teeth and shut their mouths in silence although they were dissatisfied. For the sake of Fatherâs funeral youâd better restrain yourselves for the next few days und His funeral affairs are settledâ
that Anthony dragand Violet to the middle of the man hall so that they could meet the guests who had just arrived. Kewan instructed his driver to not go home yet.
Dylan had also heard the news of Rolandâs passing and called to console Kevan.
Taking the opportunity. Kevan invited him for a drink, âLetâs have a drink together!â
Dylan wasnât land of drinking, but he decided to kerp Kevan company as it was under special circumstances.
The two of them agreed to meet at a highly excus we private club.
Kevan ordered var ous types of alcohol and ined them on the coffee table.
There was whiskey, liquor, and beer.
Kevan was not picky with his drinks and drank the alcoho straight from the bottles,
Dylan couldnât bear to watch him intoxicate himsell like that. He tried to pry the bottle from Kevanâs hands, but Kevan pusred him away.
âLet me drinkâ Kevan was already speaking incoherently. âIâm feeling lousy-
With tears running down his face, he struck his chest with his 1st obviously drunk.
