Chapter 1347


    Cn Sunday, Theo and I woke up early.


    Both of us were dressed in ck suits for Madam Mathilda’s funeral.


    The Zimmersons'' courtyard was crowded as friends and rtives came to mourn her passing. Everyone looked solemn


    Theo and I went to the hall where the funeral was held to pay our respects. The Zimmerson family stood on both sides of the room. After the visitors


    had paid their respects, they would walk up to the family members and offer their condolences


    Besides Tory, there was no one else I recognized from the Zimmerson family.


    Theo had briefly exined the Zimmerson family’s background to me. Mr. Zimmerson


    and Madam Mathilda had four children, three sons, and a daughter. Besides the daughter, the three sons had already passed away a few years back.


    As for how they passed away, Theo was not too sure. However, he did not think they died of natural causes


    The eldest son was their firstborn, so he had always been very strict. He was very sessful as well and was an excellent man. However, he fell in


    love with a woman who had ulterior motives for the Zimmerson family. When he found out, he lost all sense of purpose and lingered in entertainment


    centers all day.


    The second son grew up cheeky and dishonest. He did not get better when he grew up either. He would go around causing trouble and was a


    Casanova who indulged in thepany of women. Every year, there would at least be five pregnant women who came knocking on the Zimmerson


    family''s door.


    The third son was not too bad. He had always followed the path that Mr. Harold Zimmerson set for him. However, he had health issues, so even if


    Harold had ns to hand the family business to him, his fragile body would not allow it. Tory was his son, but he was an illegitimate child.


    The eldest son had two children, the second son had four children, and the youngest son had a child, but they were all disappointments. All they


    knew was to party and enjoy themselves. Harold Zimmerson had tried to cultivate them, but his efforts were not fruitful.


    In the end, only Tory proved to be somewhat capable. That was why Harold chose him as the family sessor even though he was an illegitimate


    child.


    Seline, whom I met the other day. was the second son''s daughter. She might look young, but she was already in her 30s. She had never gotten


    married


    She had been spoiled since she was a child. Moreover, the Zimmerson family had money in Limbia. She was arrogant, and no ordinary man could


    meet her standards. Hence, she had been staying at the Zimmersons'' ce for the past few years. Perhaps she nned to live there as a spinster


    for the rest of her life.


    Theo said shexwas a greedy and


    ambitious wamnan. The reason she


    chose Noto marry was that she had


    greater ambitions. Hence, when she


    found out that Harold had chosen


    Tory-as his sessor, she was not


    pleased.


    ol


    As for Tory''s mother, she stayed at the Zimmersons'' home too


    Before Tory became the head of the household, it was certain that no one had once referred to her as ‘Madam’.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She was never allowed to marry into the Zimmerson family. All these years, she held no title in the Zimmerson family and had suffered as a result.


    However, the main issue was that -


    even Tary''s father did not like her:?


    She was just a drunken one-night


    stand to him, but he never thought


    she would get pregnant. Content


    belongs to


    That was the only reason he brought her in. Otherwise, she never would have had the chance to step foot into the wealthy Zimmerson family''s home.


    Just as Theo and I were leaving the funeral hall, Tory nced at me, his eyes filled with a look of disdain.


    I knew he was not pleased with the sight of me, but I was not bothered. As long as he did not provoke me, all was well.


    He quickly walked up to Theo and said curtly, “President Grant, I have some things I''d like to discuss with you."


    Theo nodded, then locked at me and said,” Wait for me in the courtyard. Don''t wander around. I''ll be right back.”


    "Alright."


    Cnce he left with Tory, I left the room.


    The Zimmers'' courtyard looked very elegant. It looked like a garden from a neossical mansion. It must have cost a fortune to build such a


    courtyard.


    Harold Zimdmerson''s eldest son and


    second son had a lot of women. =


    They alf stayed here The fact that


    they agreed to live together was


    proof that none of them loved these


    men.  -
