Harming others would eventually harm oneself. It was so true.
Ashley looked towards the mourning hall. Seeing Renee greeting the guests with Mia, Ashley felt so
regretful.
Dahlia was aware of Ashley’s strangeness.
She called Ashley several times, but there was no response.
Dahlia said, “Mom, you can’t talk anymore? Is your throat uncomfortable?”
Ashley tried to make a sound but failed even when her lips opened. She anxiously shed tears.
Ashley ignored Dahlia’s shouts, rushed out of the mourning hall, and jumped into the Colon family’s
car.
The driver saw Ashley’s anxious face. When Dahlia rim out of the hall, the driver asked, “Ms. Colon,
what happened to your mother?”
Dahlia got into the car and immediately closed the door. She shouted to the driver, “Go to the hospital.”
The driver realized that the situation was serious. He anxiously drove the car to the hospital.
Fabian was discussing business with some bosses. He noticed the sensation at the mourning hall and
saw Ashley and Dahlia rush out one after another. A few seconds later, the assistant rushed over and
whispered in his ear, “Mr. Colon, Ms. Baber seems to have drunk something poisonous and can’t
speak.”
Being unable to speak meant losing the voice.
Ashlev kidnapped Renee and wanted to make her dunib before. But Fabiati saw through Ashley and
changed her medicine.
Ashley did not suffer a loss last time, so she still didn’t learn the lesson.
But this time…
Fabian couldn’t help but look at Rence, who was busy at the mourning hall. She had a sense of
propriety when greeting guests, Savanna was hier biological daughter. As Brandon’s mother-in-law,
Renee hadevery right to help Brandon greet guests.
Renee’s composure surpassed Ashley’s sorry state. Needless to say, Ashley lost this time.
However, this time, Fabian didn’t make a move.
So the person was…
That person’s name was almost on the tip of Fabian’s tongue.
There was a black Maybach parked outside the door. The door opened and a tall man walked out. He
took off his sunglasses and looked inside. When his sharp gaze landed on the photo of Lorena in the
mourning hall, he mockingly smiled.
The man strode into the mourning hall, immediately attracting curious gazes.
“What? He is the president of Galaxy International?”
“Wow, the president of Galaxy International is so handsome and elegant.”
“He keeps a low profile, so no one knows what the president of the Galaxy International looks like.”
It was said that the president of Galaxy International was famous for being vicious in the business
world. In his dictionary, there was no such word as benevolence. He had turned an unknown small
company into the world’s topone today.
Someone said, “Shelton has met his match”
Intimidated by Ethan’s aura, everyone automatically moved to the sides to make way for him.
Ethan walked into the mourning hall, stood in front of the coffin, and sincerely prayed for Lorena,
The moment Ethan appeared, Savanna’s eyelids jumped. She secretly observed Brandon’s
expression. Seeing he was calm, Savanna was relieved.
Seth handed the flower to Ethan. Ethan took the flower and put the bunch of white roses on the coffin.
Ethan smiled. His dark eyes were bright and dazzling. He glanced at Renee, and then at Savanna.
Finally, he fixed his eyes on Brandon’s expressionless face.
Ethan said, “I’m sorry for your loss.” Brandon slightly nodded.
As Savanna nodded, her eyelids kept jumping. She had a premonition after seeing the two men’s
expressionless faces.
Ethan only came to Philadelphia to establish a branch company. Galaxy International based its
headquarters in Los Angeles. Ethan’s arrival shocked the upper class of Philadelphia. Almost all
recognized his face. Those with status came to greet Ethan in time, wanting to befriend the head of the
Bennington family.
Fabian had guessed that Ashley was plotted against by Ethan. With the Colon Group’s strength, the
Colon family couldn’t compete with Ethan. Thinking about how Ethan beat him yesterday, Fabian felt a
little awkward. So, he held the wine glass and stood in the corner of the mourning hall, quietly watching
the group of business people who had just excitedly chatted with him walking towards Ethan just to
make a toast with him.
Fabian sensed a strange gaze. He looked for that gaze and met Renee’s eyes.
Renee saw him looking at him and smiled.
Seeing Fabian walk towards her, Renee was flattered. She took a step forward and said, “Fabian.”
Fabian pulled her aside and quietly asked, “Did Ashley look for you just now?”
Renee nodded and swallowed her saliva. “Yes, she wanted to talk to me about something.”
Fabian probed, “Did you drink what she gave you?”
“Yes, but she drank it too!” Renee blinked at Fabian. Renee didn’t know why Fabian suddenly asked
her this. She thought that Fabian was concerned about her, so she felt sweet.
Fabian suddenly figured out what happened.
Dahlia called. “Dad, mom can’t say anything. She’s mute. Come to the hospital.”
Fabian snorted. He curled his thin lips and spat out four words, “She asked for it.”
Fabian hung up the phone. He did not intend to go to the hospital. Instead, he said to Renee, “Renee,
are you hungry?”
Fabian had said this to Renee countless times during the days when they were together. Fabian
would often take her to late-light diners.
Renee had a sore throat. Her face flushed and her expression was excited. “A little.”
Fabian leaned close and whispered to her ear in a magnetic voice, “Do you still remember the
barbecue diner I took you to? You like their food most. Why don’t we go there?
Being so close to Fabian, Renee could feel the breath and heartbeat of her beloved man. It was so real
and not a dream. Her heart was beating fast.
She recalled Lemmon’s Barbecue.
Renee couldn’t wait. She grabbed Fabian’s hand and they walked towards the door.
After Mia finished her work, she couldn’t find Renee anymore.
Savanna didn’t find Renee after looking around the hall for her. Savanna suddenly realized that
something was wrong because the Colon family also lest.
Savanna asked Mia to look for Renee, while she stood beside Brandon.
Savanna sensitively noticed that after Ethan came, Brandon was not as calm as he appeared. She
could tell Brandon didn’t want Ethan to come.
Ethan hated Lorena the most.
He would never sincerely come to mourn for her.
Brandon poured a cup of water for himself and Savanna.
After drinking the water, Savanna saw Brandon looking at Ethan from time to time, Savanna reached
out and pulled the corner of Brandon’s shirt, signing him to calm down. After all, Lorena had not been
buried and they couldn’t make a fuss in front of her coffin.
Brandon lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Ethan.
Brandon went to the balcony to smoke. Savanna followed him. “Brandon, Grandma pulled out the
oxygen mask herself. When I received Seth’s call, I rushed to the hospital. Grandma asked me to come
close. She wanted me to leave you and said that we were not a match. She was angry when I
disagreed. She grabbed my hand and put it on the oxygen mask. You happened to come when the
oxygen mask fell from her face. I…
The street lamp light fell on Brandon’s face, and the dim light left half of his face in a shadow, making
the lower part of his face more delicate,
Brandon lowered his eyes and met Savanna’s anxious gaze. Brandon raised his eyebrows and stared
at Savanna. He cleared his throat and said, “I’m not a fool. Even if you were up to something, you
couldn’t pick the time when I’m about to come.”
