Female Novel
Chapter 1687
The main living room was transformed into a memorial hall. Dahlia wore a black dress as she stoodnext to Aurora beside Keegan’s photo. They were welcoming the guests who came to pay theirrespects to Keegan.
Cordelia sat in the wheelchair, and Baldwin stood behind her.
Her expression was solemn, and her hair seemed even whiter than before. Her once chubby faceturned bony, making her wrinkles more obvious.
Keegan was the eldest grandson of the Kane family, and he died before he could have any child.Despite the grand setup of the memorial hall, there was an indescribable sense of sorrow.
As soon as Stella stepped inside, she saw Keegan’s photo hanging on the wall.
The image was cropped from their wedding photo, but it was now in black and white.
Dahlia, initially welcoming the guests, burst into anger as soon as she saw Stella. She approachedStella with a cold face and scolded, “Get lost! Keegan doesn’t want you here!”
Cordelia held her cold necklace in her hand as she watched everything with a cold and indifferentexpression. When Stella met her eyes, Cordelia looked nonchalant. This caused Stella’s heart to sink alittle.
Wenham and Trevor came with Stella, and their expressions immediately turned ugly. Wenham said,“We’re here to pay our respects to Keegan. Mind your words!”
Dahlia despised Stella. Upon hearing Wenham’s words, she sneered, “Keegan hasn’t been gone for amonth, and she’s already found a new lover! It’s a shame that my dear son will never know what kind ofperson she truly is now that he’s dead. He even made herthe primary heir in his will! How dare she still
show up here?!” Marshall’s face turned cold as he said, “Ms. Crosby, what you say can harm Stella’sreputation. Please be careful with your words.”
Dahlia laughed bitterly, “You shameless people can do anything. Why be afraid of what I say? I’mstarting to think you two conspired to harm Keegan just to inherit his wealth!”
“Have Keegan given Stella his wealth?”
Everyone there was shocked to hear that.
“How did he think of making a will at such a young age? I can’t believe he named his ex-wife theprimary heir instead of his family members.”novelbin
“I heard that she was there when he had the accident. She’s perfectly fine here, yet Keegan is nowdead. She’s even inheriting most of his wealth. She got together with someone else a few days afterKeegan was gone. It’s terrifying if you think about it.”
“This sounds like a movie plot to me.”
“Damn. I can’t believe she still has the audacity to come here.”
Felicity listened to these baseless assumptions and was about to explode in anger. However, someonecovered her mouth from behind as she was about to speak.
She turned around and stomped on the person’s foot.
Vermont frowned in pain but did not let go. Instead, he whispered in her ear, “Don’t get involved in this.It’s not the time for you to stand up for your best friend. Both her father and brother are here, and noone can bully her.”
Felicity widened her eyes and glared at him. After not seeing her for a few days, Vermont missed herlike crazy. He wanted to let her go, but upon second thought, he knew he had lost credibility in her eyesafter what happened. So, he chose to keep on covering her mouth while wrapping his other handaround her waist.
Felicity would have given him a shoulder throw right there and then if they were somewhere else.
Trevor looked coldly at Dahlia, “Ms. Crosby, instead of fueling the fire and throwing all the blame ontomy sister, you should think about why Keegan named Stella the primary heir and not you. Do you thinkit’s because he thinks an outsider actually deserves more than his own mother?”
His words touched a sore spot in Dahlia, and her expression immediately turned unpleasant.
Chandler, who had been silent all this while, spoke at this moment, “Keegan is my family member. Afterthe divorce, he had already given her what she deserved. As for this secondary will, no one here knowsunder what circumstances it was made and whether he was manipulated by someone while making it.We’ve hired a lawyer to look into this matter.
“If Keegan really made this will, it won’t be valid because he still has blood related kin who are notlisted as heirs. We have the right to demand a redistribution of his wealth.”
Stella paused as she lifted her gaze at Chandler. “What did you say?” she asked.
