Two seconds later, another system notification—
"Your friend Isaac Ross has left the group chat."
The Four Little Swans instantly only had Ryder Quinn left, this lone swan.
Ryder Quinn sat in the tightly contained car window but felt overwheld by chaos.
Damn!
Damn!!
He’s an idiot! Fool!!!
...
Inside the villa.
After smoothly exiting the group, Damian Knight was ready to head directly back to Stanton Manor when Assistant Shelton’s call ca in, his tone urgent.
"Chairman, there’s a problem at one of Midnight Coffee House’s branches under our company; a custor had an allergic reaction and was taken to the hospital for ergency treatnt—it seems quite serious."
Damian Knight frowned and said, "Can we confirm it was sothing from the coffee house they reacted to?"
"The specifics aren’t clear yet, but the family has already stord to the company entrance, causing quite a scene. I’m worried it might have a negative impact, so I wanted to get your thoughts."
"Stabilize the family first, prevent the situation from escalating. I’m driving over now, should be there in about twenty minutes."
"Okay, Chairman."
Damian Knight hung up and as he walked outside, he sent a ssage to Sumr Monroe: "Is everything okay at your side?"
Sumr replied quickly: "Don’t worry, nothing will happen at the funeral, Stella Monroe won’t let anything happen to Clarissa Stanton’s funeral."
"Alright, I have sothing urgent to handle here—I’ll rush over once I’m done."
Stanton Manor.
Sumr smiled to herself and replied: "You take care of your business; it’s fine if you don’t co, I can handle it myself."
She thought for a mont and added, "If I can’t handle it, I’ll call you."
Not so long ago, she would never have hoped for soone to be her support, but now, things seem different.
Damian Knight replied instantly: "Alright, call anyti."
Sumr sent an "OK" emoji, put the phone back in her pocket, and with her peripheral vision, she watched Stella Monroe.
Stella Monroe was no longer as upset as she initially appeared, effortlessly mingling with guests.
The more adept Stella was at this, the more uneasy Sumr felt.
She had a premonition that Stella might be plotting sothing big.
No matter what Stella planned, she would face challenges head-on; there was nothing that couldn’t be overco.
The funeral proceeded smoothly, and Clarissa Stanton’s burial site was chosen at Crestfall’s second cetery.
The first cetery’s costs are extrely high, surpassing even the property prices in Downtown Crestfall; it’s always been reserved for those of the utmost stature and influence.
Even Henry Stanton couldn’t bear to pay for the second cetery, the funds eventually ca from Stella Monroe’s "personal money."
Luna Monroe’s burial site was also in the second cetery.
Sumr took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, found Luna Monroe’s grave herself, and laid a bouquet of flowers there.
"Mom." Sumr looked at Luna Monroe’s photo on the tombstone, speaking gently and sadly, "Just as I wished, the Stanton Family has now crumbled apart. Clarissa Stanton has passed away, Stella Monroe and Henry Stanton are now divided in spirit. I’ve been wanting to uncover the truth about your death, but now I don’t care about the process. I only know that Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe are responsible for your passing. I will definitely avenge you; wait for !"
She had secretly visited this grave many tis, but this was the first ti standing here in broad daylight.
Sumr’s gaze was steadfast; she looked deeply at Luna Monroe’s photo, then donned a perfect smile like a mask and walked towards Clarissa Stanton’s grave.
The return car was already waiting.
Sumr rode in the sa car as Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe.
Just as the car approached Stanton Manor...
