Chapter 1841


    On that day itself, Corey''s body was returned to the Lucas family.


    When Rayne saw her son''s body, she copsed into a puddle of tears.


    Remaining expressionless, Zion maintained a frosty gaze. Anyone could see that he was feeling both angry and devastated.


    The captain of his National Guards, Jan Lucas, asked softly, "Sir, Ma''am, I offer my condolences. But, I need your instructions for the funeral."


    Zion replied coldly, "Just keep it simple."


    Jan acknowledged, "Yes, I understand. I''ll be right on it."


    The Lucas family themselves knew that Corey''s death was likely connected to the Davier family.


    Moreover, they were well aware of how Corey had offended them.


    Since they were the ones that started it, the Lucas family tried not to show their outrage. Furthermore, as the election was looming, Zion remained one of the leading contenders. Therefore, the Lucas family intended to keep the funeral simple so as to not raise a furor. In fact, no one else other than the closest family members were informed of the death. Corey''s funeral was held in a funeral home.


    Many guests arrived to pay their respects despite not being officially notified.


    Those that couldn''t make it sent funeral wreaths to express their condolences.


    Zion together with Rayne and other members of the family received the guests who had arrived to pay their respects.


    Rayne had cried her eyes out and was utterly exhausted from it.


    Zion, hardened from many of life''s trials and tribtions, maintained hisposure despite his grief.


    He quietly asked Jan who was standing beside him, "Did Nathane?"


    Jan replied immediately, "No he didn''t, but he sent a wreath to express his condolences."


    After pondering in silence, Zion remarked, "The General is a real gentleman after all."


    When Zion first found out that Nathan supported Garrett instead of him, he was angered by it.


    But, he didn''t expect Nathan to still pay his respects by sending a wreath despite Corey''s repeated attempts to do him harm.


    He couldn''t help butment over the situation.


    Suddenly, something urred to


    him and he asked softly, "Did the et


    President and First Lady notify us that they would be attending the funeral?"


    Jan shook his head. “I haven''t heard anything about it."


    That means no. Or else, we would have received advance notification if they intended toe.


    Zion couldn''t help but ask again, "In that case,


    did they send a funeral wreath?"


    Jan shook his head again, "No they didn''t."


    Zion couldn''t help but feel disappointed as this wasn''t a good sign.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    It meant that President Windsor was upset. Corey''s actions had finally caught up with him, causing him to wonder if it had cost him the President''s support. Content

    If President Windsor was no longer on his side, the odds of him beating Clifford would be significantly reduced.


    At that very moment, a doorman yelled out, "A VIP has arrived."

    When everyone present saw the old man, they couldn''t help but feel shocked.


    Mr. Davier!


    Clifford had arrived.


    Not only were the guests in awe, but Zion also looked on in disbelief.


    However, he quickly regained hisposure.


    After paying his respects, Clifford snuck a nce at Corey''s body with a glint in his eye.


    After that, he approached Zion with his men behind him, and greeted calmly, "Mr. Lucas, I


    offer my condolences."


    Zion replied, "Thank you for your concern."


    Clifford added, "No thanks needed. We are just looking out for each other."


    Everyone present exchanged nces as it was obvious that Clifford was insinuating something.
