Chapter 215


    Frank’s funeral was held on Saturday.


    Frank once said that he wished that he could be buried together with Anna’s mother, Olivia. When


    Shirley learned about it, she cried so hard at the funeral that she even fainted. She did, however,


    eventually agree to do so.


    However, it didn’t matter if she said yes or not because Anna didn’t agree on this. Also, Anna’s aunt


    Selina refused his request. Therefore, Frank’s rtives found another cemetery for him and ced his


    grave just across the path from Olivia’s.


    “Frank, don’t worry. I will take care of my daughter and manage thepany well. As you know, my


    brother’s children are all adults now. So, they can all inherit yourpany ording to your will.”


    Shirley said. Her words made the funeral look like a share distribution meeting instead.


    Anna couldn’t take it any longer. She froze and stood there for a few moments before quietly walking


    away.


    Anna felt sentimental.


    Frank had started this business with no money at all. He had worked hard for thepany all his life,


    but Shirley took it away from him when he died. To be honest, Anna didn’t think Frank would leave all of


    his possessions to Shirley and her family in his will. She felt that if he had considered the order, he


    would have given his money to Allie first.


    However, Anna felt that since Frank had passed away, she no longer needed to be around the


    Gabriels. Before leaving, Anna paid a visit to her mother’s grave. She knelt and pulled the weeds away


    from the tombstone.


    She wept out in despair after seeing her mother’s picture on the tombstone. She said, “Mom, do you


    see my father in heaven? I’ve actually taken it upon myself to forgive him. I don’t think you would want


    me to hate him, though. Grandpa told me that the biggest thing you used to expect from me was that I


    would live my life in peace.”


    Anna talked to her mother until she felt she could no longer stand on her own two feet. Then, she was


    going to walk away when she saw a woman dressed in ck standing behind her.


    When Anna first saw the woman, she saw that she was wearing a white flower on her shirt, which was


    a stark contrast to her ck shirt. Anna recognized that it was Shirley.


    Shirley gave Anna a frigid stare and said meanly, “I‘ve been looking for you everywhere, and I wasn’t


    expecting you to show up here! Anna, I don’t have time to y games with you right now.”


    Anna sensed the irony. Shirley used to always act like a good stepmother to Anna in front of Frank.


    After Frank’s death, however, she became extremely hostile toward her.


    Shirley grumbled and gave Anna a dismissive nce. Her movements appeared to be quite smooth, as


    if she had practiced them. She said, “The funeral is over now, Anna. But,


    are you sure you don’t want to hear his will?”


    Anna frowned and asked, “Did his will mention me?”


    Shirley burst outughing, then said, “What a pity! You know, he didn’t even mention you in his will!


    That’s so funny! Although he loved you so much, he didn’t leave you anything.”


    Shirley’s smug expression made Anna feel so uneasy that she wanted to vomit.


    “Hey, Olivia, can you see what’s happening now? You loved your daughter so much, didn’t you? In fact,


    Frank didn’t think she was worth a dime. Did you know that he left your daughter with nothing?” Shirley


    said as she stared wide-eyed at Olivia’s picture on the tombstone.


    She looked very resentful, as if she had finally found an outlet for her resentment that had been


    building up for years.


    Anna stood in front of the tombstone, and then said grimly, “Shirley, I hope that you can respect my


    mother. She’s dead, and you have no reason to humiliate her.”


    Shirleyughed and said, “Humiliate? Well, your mother used to humiliate me when she was alive. She


    thought she had the right to treat me that way because she was a rich woman. But, she died. Olivia,


    you havepletely lost to me! Do you think your stupid daughter is a match for me?”


    Hearing Shirley’s words, Anna shivered with anger. She said through gritted teeth, “Shut your filthy


    mouth!”


    “What?! Who are you to tell me to order me? You know, I always wanted to do this to you long ago.


    “After saying that, Shirley suddenly put her hand up.


    It was drizzling at that time. When Anna lifted her head, she felt a drop of rain fall on her eyshes.


    She couldn’t help but close her eyes. And she realized it was toote, so she had no time to dodge


    away.


    However, Anna did not get a p from Shirley as she had expected. Shirley gave a startled cry, then


    asked, “What? Who the hell are you?!”


    Anna then heard a voice that she was familiar with. That voice was low, firm, and seemed very


    domineering.


    He said, “It doesn’t matter who I am. But you need to know that if you dare to hit Anna, I will make all


    the money you got from her father disappear. I mean it!”


    Anna looked at the man standing before him in surprise, and then said, “Jasper! What are you doing


    here?”


    “Oh, I came back early because I heard what happened to your father,” Jasper exined briefly. At the


    same time, he still looked at Shirley indifferently.


    Shirley suddenly burst outughing after looking at them for a while. She said, “Anna, you are indeed


    an expert at using men! You have already seduced Wayne, and you felt that was not enough. So, you


    also seduced another man. You’re really great good at that! You…”


    Before Shirley could finish her words, two strong men walked out from behind Anna.


    They each held one of Shirley’s arms and put her under control.


    Lily stepped out, and then said indifferently, “Gag her.”


    The two bodyguards immediately pulled out handkerchiefs from their pockets and then stufted them


    into Shirley’s mouth to stop her from continuing to swear.


    After that. Lily waved her hand. Then, the two bodyguards dragged Shirley away. Anna seemed


    anxious and at a loss.


    Jasper patted Anna’s shoulder to reassure her and said, “Please don’t worry, we won’t do anything to


    her. They’ll let her go after they warn her.”


    At this point, Anna breathed a sigh of relief

    Lily then came up to Anna with her umbre. She hugged Anna and said sincerely. “I’m really sorry,


    Anna. I just heard what happened to your father”


    Anna also hugged Lily, smiled bitterly and said, “It’s good to see you again, Lily. Thank you for your


    comfort.”


    Although Anna was tall, Lily was much taller than her. Therefore, whenever Lily embraced Anna, it


    looked like she was hugging a small child.


    Then, Lily let go of Anna and put the umbre on her head. She asked, “Do you need to do anything


    else? You see, it’s raining now.”


    Anna nodded and said, “No, I don’t think so.”


    Anna knew that Shirley’s rtives would all have a fight over thepany shares after that. Anna felt


    that since her name was not even mentioned in Frank’s will, there was no need for her to stay there


    any longer.


    At that time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier Anna and Jasper walked slowly away with an


    umbre. Of course, neither of them noticed a man in a ck coat standing in another corner of the


    cemetery.


    That man was Wayne.


    Wayne had just taken the earliest flight back to Birmingham that day. When he arrived, he happened to


    see Anna and Jasper leaving together.


    “Are you sure you won’t say hello to her?” Gabe had been holding the umbre for Wayne, and he


    asked as he felt sad.


    While Wayne was still in Senel City negotiating the resort project, he heard about Frank’s death. Then,


    he immediately returned to Birmingham.


    “Follow them,” Wayne said immediately.
