Jada, who had just wiped away her tears after placing a flower for Alva, turned around and spottedEudora and Colbert approaching. Filled with frustration, she pointed at Eudora and angrily uttered,"Save your crocodile tears. Stop acting around here. You, out of everybody here, must be thrilledthat Alva is gone."Her angry words drew everyone's attention to them.Stella, who had a bitter rivalry with Eudora, pointed directly at her and lashed out, "Get lost! Youhave no right to be here at Alva's funeral!""Why exactly did Eudora come here for?" someone in the crowd wondered aloud."Mr. Steele also decided to show up," another person interjected."Alva and Eudora have had such complicated history. Could it be that Eudora is somehow involvedin her death?" a concerned voice asked."It's hard to say," someone else replied."You know what? Mr. Steele is a true gentleman. Despite Alva's deception, he still can let bygonesbe bygones and attend her funeral," a thoughtful onlooker remarked."Now that Alva is gone, I imagine Glenn and his spouse will treat Eudora better. After all, she is theirdaughter as well," a gentle voice suggested....They kept quiet as hushed whispers passed among the crowd, their eyes darting between Eudora,Glenn, and his spouse, each deep in contemplation.
