Chapter 964: Chapter 964

Since Steven was still in the hospital recovering from his injuries, lan came to pick Justin and Bella up.

Sitting in the back seat; Justin took a deep breath and took Bella’s chilly hand.

Instead of pulling her hand away, she let him entwine their fingers, reveling in his warmth.

“Ryan insisted on coming along, but I didn’t let him,” Justin said

huskily.

understand where you’re coming from. Ryan spends all his time

with Carrie now. Carrie will be upset if she finds out.”

Bella sighed. “Linny had taken care of Carrie for a while. They are

more than just an employer and an employee. They are friends.”

She choked with sobs.

“Don’t cry, Bella.”

With his heart breaking, Justin raised his muscular arm and hoo

around the woman’s shuddering shoulders. He pulled her into his

arms. “If Linny could see us now, she wouldn’t want us to be sad.

would want to see the beautiful, amazing, and strong heiress of

KS Group. Don’t let her down. Don’t let the wicked see our weakness

Bella rested her head against his chest and nodded solemnly, her strength renewed.

The Thompsons spared no expense on Linny’s funeral, offering the

very best in everything as a final act of respect.

A multitude of wreaths were laid for Linny, tributes from industry

heavyweight’s like the Thompsons, Salvadors, and Hoffmans, whose

influence extended beyond Savrow to the entire nation.

Christopher’s wreath arrived before his person and was placed in a rather conspicuous position.

“Iverson sure is cunning.”

Standing at the door, Axel looked at the wreath from the Iversons and

taunted, “The wreath is hard to miss. People might think it’s a funeral

for the Iversons.

“Get someone to move the wreath to the back. It’s blocking ours.”

Asher patted his shoulder and shook his head. “Just leave it. Even if

the oversized wreath is intentional, at least they mean well. Don’t

make us look petty.”

Today, Asher, Axel, Ralph, and Drew were present at the funeral. Eve

Steven was in attendance, wheeled in by Amelia.

When Amelia found out about Steven’s injuries, she rushed to the hospital and cried all over him.

She took a leave of absence from school and stayed by Steven’s side, caring for him, feeding him,

cleaning him, and taking him to the

bathroom. She acted like a devoted wife.

Thanks to Amelia’s care, Steven was on the mend. He still needed to

rely on a cane or a wheelchair to move around, though.

“Why are you here, Steve?”

Asher drew close to him. “You need rest. Bella will get angry if she

catches you running around.”

Steven’s eyes filled with sadness. “Linny is Ms. Bella’s savior, and

that speaks a lot to me. I should attend her funeral even if I have to

crawl my way here.”

Axel approached and looked at Amelia with a pout. “Honestly, Amelia.

Why aren’t you doing anything about your man?”

Her man?

Steve and Amelia blushed.

Red in the face, Amelia said shyly, “It’s out of my hands.”

“Oh, that won’t do.”

Drew came over, shaking his head, and joined the teasing. “The Thompson girls should be able to

handle any man or situation wi

ease and confidence.

“Don’t you think so, Mr. Lovett?”

Steven cleared his throat embarrassedly and replied, “You’re right, Mr.

Drew.”

There was an announcement near the entrance.

“Ms. Bella Thompson has arrived.”

“Mr. Justin Salvador, president of Salvador Corporation, has arrived.”
