Chapter 553
As he spoke, he once again adjusted his hairdo.
He’d dolled himself up really well on purpose; he even put on the clothes his sister liked, just popping up in front of her, hoping to lift her spirits a bit.
Arabella was speechless.
Though she knew his good intentions, it seemed like they weren’t doing much.
At the dinner table, Serena thought she could see a heartbroken Arabella. But no, Arabella was just like any other day, with no signs of sadness, just going about eating and drinking.
She was surprisingly calm, given that her granny, who had raised her for so many years, had been killed. She could still eat and sleep!
How could she be so ungrateful?
At the dinner table, Kenneth and Louisa were carefully asking about Grace’s funeral arrangements when David interrupted.
“Dad, Mom, can you let sis eat her meal in peace?”
He heard that she hadn’t eaten much today. If she pushed herself too hard, her health would take a dip.
“Right, right, let’s eat first. Here, Bella, have some more; it’s your favorite.” Kenneth hurriedly served his daughter some food.
Louisa was initially worried about Grace’s body being stored for too long due to the hot weather and also wanted to arrange for Grace’s funeral as soon as possible.
As for Attlee, Olga, and Yolanda, they didn’t need to be present. Granny wouldn’t want to see them; besides, they had no blood relation to Granny, so they didn’t need to come.
“The location of the burial site is?” Louisa carefully asked again, “Should I find a big one with a good environment?”
“No need; Granny had already picked a spot.”
It was the Murphy family’s burial ground. She wanted to rest beside her husband. That was her wish.
Louisa recalled Grace choosing her burial site when she fell ill before. It was a normal thing, so she didn’t pry further.
“Is there anything we can help with tomorrow?” Louisa asked again, “We’d like to see Grace off.”
“Sure.” Arabella nodded: “Your presence would mean a lot to Granny. You don’t need to help with anything else; I’ll have it all sorted.”
Her words implied that all they needed to do was show up.
Kenneth never thought his little girl had grown into an independent woman, capable of handling even a funeral and sorting out all the procedures..
How many hardships had she gone through over the years to develop such independence?
“Do I need to teach the Murphy family a lesson? Let them know this won’t be forgotten easily?” Kenneth asked again.
“No need; I’ve taken care of it.”
Although Attlee didn’t directly cause Granny’s death, his excessive greed, only thinking about himself, and allowing Olga’s actions ultimately led to Granny’s death.
Attlee’s backhanded threats and bribes, bullying his company’s people and leading to their mental breakdowns and premature deaths, were enough to put him behind bars.
As for Olga, she was going to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Arabella wouldn’t let her off the hook easily.
About Yolanda.
