Chapter 716

At the crack of dawn, the Winston family hurried to the cemetery to meet up with

Robert and the others. Powell was recovering well; he no longer needed a wheelchair, although he walked with a slight limp. Jocelyn supported him

"Back to her parents'? What about Maurice? Did he go with her?"

"Maurice is off on a business trip abroad. His flight was at 10 a.m."

Jocelyn nodded slightly, not prying further.

Marguerite, however, paused for a moment. She knew exactly why Maurice was traveling abroad and instinctively looked towards Frederick, asking in a hushed tone, "The funeral won't be over until noon. Will you be able to catch him?"
