Don't Fall For Me, CEO

Chapter 1265: Attending the Funeral (Grand Finale Part 2)

"Is there... any news?"Laura Quinn saw Richard Donovan hang up the phone. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward to ask.

"Yes."

Richard Donovan glanced at July Quinn, and finally fixed his gaze on Laura Quinn.

"Keaton said they found Joseph’s body."

Kyle Keaton said he wasn’t sure if he should tell Laura Quinn about this, so he chose to call Richard Donovan and let him decide himself.

Richard Donovan thought, although Joseph was not a good person and would stop at nothing to advance the Marsden Family, even to the extent of tying a bomb to Laura Quinn to threaten July Quinn, he did save Laura Quinn at the most critical moment.

So it was still necessary to let Laura Quinn know about Joseph’s final situation.

"I understand..."

Laura Quinn was stunned for a long time before speaking.

Yes, she never imagined that Joseph would die like this.

When she used to hate Joseph, she cursed him countless times in her heart, wishing for him to die terribly.

She even designed countless ways for him to die in her mind.

But she never thought that Joseph would die for her.

"It’s said that the body was severely damaged and needs a quick funeral. Jennings has been notified. He will be temporarily released to arrange Joseph’s funeral."

Richard Donovan looked at the way Laura Quinn was lost over Joseph, feeling very uncomfortable inside.

If he could, he would rather be the one risking everything for Laura Quinn.

"I think, I should attend the funeral."

For a long time after Laura Quinn said this, Richard Donovan didn’t speak.

July Quinn looked at Richard Donovan, then quickly at Laura Quinn.

She wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but she also knew that this was an issue Laura Quinn and Richard Donovan had to face sooner or later.

So she ended up saying nothing.

No one knew how long the silence lasted before Richard Donovan finally spoke again, "I respect your decision."

Thus, on the day of Joseph’s funeral, Laura Quinn appeared at the funeral in a black velvet dress.

With Joseph’s death and Jennings’ imprisonment, the Marsden Family had practically fallen, resulting in very few people attending the funeral.

Because of this, Jennings appeared exceptionally lonely and desolate at the funeral.

The father and son had lived in glory most of their lives, only to end up like this.

"My condolences."

Laura Quinn stepped forward and gently patted Jennings on the shoulder.

Maybe he hadn’t recovered from his injuries, or perhaps he was unusually sad; the previous arrogance and ferocity were no longer visible on Jennings’ face, only grief and pallor remained.

Jennings looked up and saw Laura Quinn, probably not expecting her to attend Joseph’s funeral, and suddenly broke down, the tears falling without any warning.

In truth, Jennings had very little family affection.

Besides having a father who only wanted to marry Laura Quinn, his mother, due to her lowly background and not wanting to upset Laura Quinn, was denied entry to Marsden Estate.

So as far as Jennings could remember, Laura Quinn might be considered one of the closer elders.

Thus, upon seeing her, his emotions overwhelmed him.

But facing Laura Quinn, he couldn’t say a word.

Too ashamed, and guilty.

Perhaps understanding his feelings, Laura Quinn didn’t press him but handed him a few tissues, "Honey, be strong."

Then, Laura Quinn went to bid farewell to Joseph’s body.

Lying in the crystal coffin, Joseph had been handled pretty well, at least without any visible wounds on the surface, seemingly just asleep.

Laura Quinn placed the bouquet of chrysanthemums she brought on Joseph’s crystal coffin, "Joseph, thank you for saving me..."
