Chapter 241


    Shirley was livid when she saw Lilian Page, Ines''s mother, buried beside Hunter. She shouted in a


    low voice, "Who chose this spot? Why would they bury her next to him?"


    Ines was immediately ticked off, unable to stand anyone belittling her mother. "Shirley, watch your


    mouth. The woman you''re referring to was his first wife. What''s wrong with burying him here?"


    "The first wife, in this era, Who cares about that these days? She''s his ex-wife. I''m his wife now. His


    every move is my call, and I won''t let him be buried here," Shirley eximed.


    When Ss heard her words, his face became serious, and he thought this woman was shameless.


    She didn''t worry about the funeral at all, and when others had arranged everything, she was


    dictating. It was really annoying.


    He always found her too worldly. Seeing her true colours now, he couldn''t hold his tongue anymore.


    He said coldly, "The president chose this ce himself. Your words now are pointless."


    "No way, I won''t let them be buried together. She stole my husband when she was alive, and I won''t


    let them be together after death." Shirley blurted out, regardless of the people around. Ss


    trembled with anger and pointed at Shirley, "Don''t talk nonsense here. You''re the gold-digger. You


    were pregnant with a man''s child but chose to marry another. After marriage, you found out the man


    you looked down on had married a rich girl, and you started to create havoc, even ndering the


    president had a one-night stand with you, and forced thedy to death. How dare you talk here?"


    Emma also understood Ss'' words, trembling and looking at Ss, "Ss, what are you talking


    about? Am I, not my dad''s child?"


    "Of course, you''re the president''s child, but not from an extramarital affair. Your mom was pregnant


    with you before their marriage. She didn''t like your dad because he was poor and married another


    man, the gambler you mentioned. You''re not Ms Galeana''s little sister, but her big sister." Ss


    couldn''t hold it anymore and revealed the truth to everyone.


    He felt sorry for Hunter. This woman had deceived him.for many years and didn''t know the truth


    until his death.


    Emma''s lips trembled, looking at Shirley incredulously, "Mom, is what Ss said true? You


    abandoned Dad, but you told me another woman stole him. You lied to me?"


    People around were whispering and even pointing fingers. Ines felt so embarrassed and buried her


    face in Ethan''s chest.

    Angry and embarrassed, Shirley yelled at Ss, "Ss stop talking nonsense. That woman stole


    everything that was supposed to be mine."


    "Yours? Everyone in A City knows our chairman started from nothing. Before marrying the Page


    family''s daughter, he was a nobody. He had nothing back then. What could possibly be yours? Tell


    me."


    "Mom, is it true? Are you really like what Ss said?" Emma looked at Shirley.


    Shirley red at Emma furiously, venting all her anger on her, "Emma, I''m your biological mother.


    Watch your tone. How can you doubt me just because of what others say? I''ve raised you for so


    many years, and now you believe a stranger."


    Emma stepped back, "But you can refute it. Tell me you''re not like that." She might not be a good


    person, but she couldn''t stand her mother''s deception. She felt like a chess piece being


    manipted.


    Shirley was speechless. Ss ordered the staff to put Hunter''s ashes into the prepared hole


    because it was gettingte. Shirley tried to stop it, but Ss grabbed her arm tightly.


    Naturally, men are stronger than women. Shirley couldn''t break free and threatened Ss, "Ss,


    you''re too much. Hunter just passed away, and you''re showing your true colours. Don''t forget, I''m


    your boss now. I can fire you anytime."


    Ss wasn''t bothered. He was Hunter''s secretary, technically a senior manager. To fire him would


    require a strict process. It wasn''t up to her.


    As for being the Galeana family''s butler, he didn''t care. He wanted to stay to take care of Hunter as


    a way to repay his kindness. Now that Hunter was gone, he would leave ,too. He didn''t want to see


    her disgusting face anymore.


    Hunter had never mistreated him over the years. He had a lot of savings and several properties


    under his name. Leaving the Galeana family, he could support himself and his family.


    Seeing Ss''s indifferent face, Shirley gritted her teeth and cursed, "Now you''re showing your true


    colours. You''re the wolf of the Galeana family. Hunter was so good to you, and you''re bullying us


    the moment he''s gone. You even dared to call the police. Maybe you were the one who pushed


    Hunter down the stairs to seize his property. When I woke up, I only saw you standing next to


    Hunter. No one else could prove your innocence."


    Ss''s face turned red with anger. His loyalty to Hunter was not to be questioned by anyone, "If you


    don''t have concrete evidence, don''t make wild guesses. I''ve let the police investigate the truth of the


    matter. I, Ss, am upright and fair. I''m not afraid of your sinister intentions. You''re the one with a


    guilty conscience. One day, you''ll be exposed."


    Ines couldn''t be bothered with their bickering. All she did was watch as the urn was slowly


    swallowed by the earth, a tombstone eventually erected over it.


    Looking at the two tombstones before her, Ines felt a lump in her throat. It was only now that it really


    hit her, and he was truly gone. Ethan saw the photo of Ines''s mom too. Ines was her spitting image.


    Only there was a big age gap which anyone could spot in a heartbeat.
