The woman raised her eyebrows as if she was not too happy with Dolores' attitude towards her.
“According to the family hierarchy, you should call me Aunt.”
Dolores really couldn't recall that she had ever met that woman, and as far as she knew, the Nelson
family didn't have many relatives, let alone one who could make her call her “Aunt”.
The woman walked in without permission and said, “Pour me a glass of water.”
“Mrs. Nelson.” Coral pulled Dolores to the side and whispered by Dolores' ears, “That’s probably the
wife of the old master's younger cousin, who is sterile, eccentric, and doesn't like to communicate with
others.”
Dolores slightly frowned, why she had never heard of that?
Coral didn't know it very clearly either, but she had heard of it, “Seems like because of his health, he
seldom communicate with us. He doesn't even show up when you got married, but he appeared quickly
during this family matter.”
Even Coral thought it was so fast that it was strange. In Jayden's generation, he only had a younger
cousin, the only other person who had WY Group’s stocks.
Dolores indicated that she got it, it was inappropriate to have disturbance in such a crucial moment,
since that woman was a relative of the Nelson family, then Dolores should treat her politely.
She went to pour a glass of water, came back, and put it on the table.
Even if the woman showed respect by wearing a black dress, her neck and ears were full of expensive
pieces of jewellery. The jewels sparkled more on the liner of her plain coloured dress, she also put on
heavy make-up, seemed like she dressed up meticulously, and she was also sitting with her legs
crossed at that time without any elegance that she seemed even more disrespectful.
Furthermore, she didn't seem old either, she was probably not 30 years old yet.
“You said that I should call you “Aunt” according to the family hierarchy, and then of course I should call
you...”
“Say it, then.”
Before Dolores finished speaking, that woman sat there with an arrogant expression as she interrupted.
“Aunt, do you not understand politeness? Don't you know that interrupting someone when they're
talking is impolite?” Dolores lashed back at her, she really couldn't stand her bluffing there, that was the
day Jayden had passed away, Dolores was not in a good mood but that woman was so disrespectful.
“You said that you're my Aunt, then you're a very close relative of mine, my father just passed away,
our family is all in deep pain while you put on hot red lipstick, didn't you know that it's disrespectful for
the deceased?” Dolores suppressed her voice; she didn't want any conflict with anyone at that time.
But that woman's behaviour was really intolerable.
“If you're not sincere, then please just leave, or you can just learn things that you should know when
attending a funeral.”
“You...” that woman became angry in an instant but she couldn't refute Dolores' words right away, she
held it in for a long time before saying, “Is this how you talk to your senior?”
“Of course I should respect my seniors, if you don't even understand what's so-called ‘respect’, why do
you demand others to respect you?”
That woman was so angry that her face was fully red, looking very bad, “You just wait.”
After saying that, she stood up and walked away angrily.
“Mrs. Nelson...” Coral was worried about Dolores so she stepped forward and supported her, Dolores
shook her head and said that she was fine.
That woman walked quickly and bumped against the person walking in, she then said, “Don't you have
eyes? Watch where you're walking!”
Theresa panicked; she received Boyce's call last night, so she and Armand returned in a hurry.
She walked quickly and didn't think that someone would suddenly walk out of the room, that was why
they bumped into each other.
“Sorry...” Theresa apologized.
“You have no manner.” that woman snorted and walked out.
Theresa was dumbfounded as she had never expected that there were still impolite people like that
woman who would make uproar at a funeral.
Who was the one with no manner?
“You're here?” Dolores' voice is a bit hoarse.
Theresa walked over quickly and hugged her, “Are you all right? Armand and I immediately returned
after receiving Boyce's call...”
Theresa was choked when she was about to say the latter part, she had stayed in the villa and
interacted with Jayden, but then he was gone... She felt sad because she couldn't see him anymore.
Dolores’ feelings that she had controlled was stirred up again.
The edge of her eyes became wet, she told Theresa and Armand to sit and have a rest for a moment.
Armand didn't sit and said that he was going outside for a bit, he immediately called Boyce once he
was back, knowing that Boyce was together with Matthew, he originally said that he was also going
there but Boyce told him to come to the home first, Dolores was the only one at home, afraid that she
couldn't handle it on her own.
Since there was nothing else, he didn't stay any longer.
At night, Matthew and the others were back, Coral and Jessica took care of the children, they cooked
some food and put those on the table.
The lights in the study room were on.
They were all inside.
“The day after tomorrow is a good day, it's suitable for burial.” They have the convention to bury the
dead soon so that they could fulfil their responsibility and showed their respect to the dead ones. So it
wouldn't take too long.
Dolores softly said, “Then what if we arrange the burial on the day after tomorrow? Do we have enough
time?”
Boyce said, “The funeral company will arrange it, the funeral will be held in Central Funeral Home.”
Dolores nodded, Boyce was the one who kept talking, Matthew didn't say anything from the start, he
just sat on the chair by the window.
“Everyone was busy all day, go out and eat something.” Dolores looked at Theresa and Jasmine, “Eat
something, you two.”
They were there all day without eating anything, it was very late.
“Then, let's go out.” Boyce stood up first.
Armand pulled Theresa, walked out, and quickly closed the study room's door.
Dolores walked over and sat on the chair beside Matthew's chair.
