Chapter 455

Before this, even when Stella had a row with Keegan, she would still treat them politely. However, theaggression just now was never seen before. He instinctively thought that something was about tohappen.

Marshall said, "However worse it was, you should never play the off-the- grid card. Stella had alreadydecided in her heart. If we talked on behalf of Keegan, it would only be counterproductive.”

Vermont sighed, "You're right. I hope that son of a bitch would come back sooner. Or else no one couldhelp him."

Albert knew about the news of Rainee'’s passing the night before her funeral procession. It was from agroup chat among old classmates. He only knew when his classmates questioned him. He was auniversity schoolmate with Rainee. Many of these old schoolmates were mutual friends with both ofthem.

Stella sent an obituary through her social media circle. The old schoolmates quickly saw it througheveryone’s sharing and started asking in the group chat.

"Albert, why did you not tell us beforehand about Rainee's matter? It's such a big matter, yet we onlyknew after someone had mentioned it. You really don't think of us as friends.”

Some female schoolmates were voicing the injustice of Rainee, “It's better that Rainee passed. If shewere aware, she wouldn't have been able to bear with this injustice.”

"Both of you are at least husband and wife in the end. This funeral of yours that you are preparing istoo rushed. She had just passed, but you are so impatient to cremate her. You even chose such asmall funeral parlor?

Indeed, you have forgotten about your previous wife when you have your new flame."novelbin

The matter about Albert's illegitimate child caused a ruckus online a few days ago. So naturally, the oldschoolmates in the group heard about it. Although these schoolmates were mutual friends with him andRainee, she and these people had a closer bond.

She was good at socializing and was caring and loyal. She may not have been considered a good wifeand mother, but she was very devoted to her friends. As long as they open their mouth, she will alwayshelp them if it is within her abilities. Examples would be spots for whoever's child to attend school,performance track records for whoever's insurance company, and the hospital for whoever's fatherneeded to be hospitalized...

Her methods in the business world are pretty resentful. Although she could be quite calculative aboutcertain things, she still helped many schoolmates in dire need of help. Hence, when news of herpassing away came out, all her friends could not help but feel sympathy and sadness. All of their wordsunavoidably had the dissatisfaction and sarcasm they had for Albert.

Rainee was the queen bee in their school department in the past and had many people chasing afterher. Her family background was fine, and she did the best for herself. Back then, quite a few boys werepursuing her. In the end, she went with Albert, who had mediocre qualities. Not only was she fightingpoverty her whole life, she ultimately ended like this. In hindsight, it was indeed not worth it.

Albert saw the notifications from the group chat. He was furious. He was mad because the gang ofpeople in the group chat was spouting nonsense and slandering him. He was also angry that Stella didnot even inform him about such a significant incident as Rainee’s death.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Stella did it on purpose. She had purposely let himembarrass himself in front of all his old schoolmates. While calling Stella, he had a sullen face, but itdidn't get through. Stella seemed to have blacklisted him. This news made Albert feel terrible all over.

However, when he remembered that Rainee had passed away, it left a foul taste in his heart. WhenHylda brought drinks in, she saw Albert fuming with a sullen face.

“Albert, what happened?" Hylda asked.

Albert pursed his lips. After a long time, he said, "She died."

Hylda was stunned for a moment. But then the corner of her lips twitched into a subtle smile. Shelowered her gaze and said, "It's been so many years. She had suffered enough. Dying would be muchbetter than living on for her."

Albert did not speak. He then said after a while, "Stella issued an obituary. The memorial service istomorrow. Should I go or not?"
