"Wow, today’s breakfast is really sumptuous!" Jocelyn Morgan also just arrived at the dining room. She was wearing a black dress today, looking elegant and poised. "This soy milk is my favorite! My brother likes to drink it too! It’s been a long ti since it was made, hasn’t it?"
"Yes, Miss." The servant replied, "Because the madam likes it."
"Madam?"
It was the first ti she heard this term at ho, so she was a bit surprised, "My sister-in-law?"
"That’s right."
"So my sister-in-law likes it too! It seems we have many common hobbies!"
Just as Finn Morgan and Hailey Hale reached the dining room entrance, they heard Jocelyn’s chirpy voice, like a carefree lark.
Hailey envied her a lot, feeling that her happiness probably wouldn’t return. Ever since the incident, everyone’s heart had been heavy.
"Bro, sis-in-law!" Jocelyn saw them and imdiately greeted them with a smile, "You’re up? Co, co, hurry and have breakfast!"
"Jocelyn." Hailey politely asked, "Weren’t you traveling? Why did you co back so soon?"
"Didn’t I see your dad’s news?" The girl blurted out, "It scared to death, so I rushed back. How is it? Is it easy to resolve?"
After she finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the dining room.
Discussing this topic within the Morgan family seed inappropriate.
Finn tried to ease the situation, "Kids shouldn’t worry about adult matters, hurry and eat breakfast, co, sit."
Jocelyn seed to realize sothing as well, and she didn’t pursue further questions.
The atmosphere during breakfast was a bit awkward.
After breakfast, Finn prepared to leave with Hailey after bidding farewell to the family.
"Leaving already?" Jocelyn asked in puzzlent in the yard.
Hailey nodded without saying much, and Finn simply nodded too, then opened the door to the Maybach’s passenger seat.
"Drive safely on the road," Jasmine advised.
"Okay."
Hailey and Finn got into the car, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, the car drove away.
"Aunt," Jocelyn turned her eyes worriedly, asking, "Will Mayor Hale be sentenced to death?"
"Not sure." Jasmine replied indifferently, turning to walk towards her room.
Jocelyn exchanged a look with Everett Morgan, and neither spoke.
The white Maybach had just driven not far from the Morgan’s residence when a black sedan approached head-on, moving into the lane Finn was driving on. He quickly stepped on the brakes.
Both cars ca to a halt almost simultaneously, their hoods facing each other, and only half a ter apart.
This doesn’t look good!
Hailey anxiously turned to look at Finn, who remained calm, then they saw the driver’s side door open.
Zachary rce got out of the car wearing simple clothes, with a white flower pinned to his chest.
This made both Finn and Hailey’s hearts sink heavily!
lissa rce died??
Both Finn and Hailey almost simultaneously unbuckled their seatbelts and got out of the car.
Zachary’s gaze was icy and carried a hint of resentnt, "Finn, is your heart made of stone? Why didn’t you answer the phone last night?"
Was the call last night from them?
Hailey’s heart sank further as she turned her gaze towards Finn.
However, Finn’s eyes remained fixed on the white flower on Zachary’s chest... He understood, it was lissa’s call before she passed away.
"The doctor announced she couldn’t make it through the night, she was calling your na all day until she ran out of strength, still softly calling your na till the end."
Recalling his daughter’s pitiful state, Zachary felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"If it weren’t for lissa, could you two have gotten married smoothly? Think about it carefully."
"Isn’t it impossible in this lifeti? With Mayor Hale’s downfall, your dad wouldn’t allow you to be with this woman by your side."
Hailey’s heart silently clenched for a mont.
Just when Zachary thought Finn would repent and say sothing, Finn’s phone rang.
He took it out, glanced at the caller ID, and imdiately answered, "Hello, CEO Kingston."
Whatever Justin Kingston said, "Okay, I’ll be right there!"
"Uncle rcer, sorry." With that, Finn pulled Hailey into the car, reversed a few ters, then turned the steering wheel, and the car sped away!
