As she watched a hateful Charlotte walk over, Elaine did not show the slightest bit of anxiety.

"Where's my dad?"

Charlotte's shoulders were shaking slightly. She clenched her fists and looked at Elaine in front of her.

"Can't you tell what's going on?"

Elaine's face was filled with disdain. She let out a cold snort and was about to turn around to leave when she was stopped by Charlotte who was standing behind her.

"I want to see... him."

In the end, Charlotte did not say the word 'corpse' out loud. As she looked at the huge photo frame placed in the middle of the room, her black eyes filled with tears, but she did not let them fall. "There are only ashes left. Since you're here now, you can still send your father on his way."

Elaine suddenly approached Charlotte, and continued with a vicious tone, "You don't want to make trouble at your father's funeral, do you? So it's best if you behave."

Since her back was facing the main room, Elaine did not see the boy rushing toward her.

"Mom."

Elaine turned her head to look at the boy who was hugging her thigh. She smiled and lifted him up. She gently stroked the boy's hair and pretended to be sad as she said, "Alistair, let's go see your father and let him see you again."

"Okay."

Although he did not quite understand what had happened, the boy in Elaine's arms still nodded.

As she looked at the people coming and going, who continued to pay their respects, Charlotte gripped her collar tightly in her hands. She slowly sat down against the wall, looking in a somewhat sorry state. She seemed to have become an orphan without any parents...

At that moment, Shane, who had just arrived at the office, was stopped by Zoe. He was shrouded by a bad mood in an instant. Cole, who had been following him, gave Zoe a look, but she turned a blind eye to it.

"Mr. Fuller, this is an invitation from the Emerson Corporation." "Tell me about it." Shane spat coldly. He didn't even look at the white invitation that Zoe handed him.

"The Emerson Corporation's Timothy Emerson passed away a few days ago. A wake is being held today. You..."

Before Zoe could finish her words, the white invitation in her hand was quickly snatched away.
