Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts

Chapter 241

Shirley was livid when she saw Lilian Page, Ines's mother, buried beside Hunter. She shouted in a low voice, "Who chose this spot? Why would they bury her next to him?"

Ines was immediately ticked off, unable to stand anyone belittling her mother. "Shirley, watch your mouth. The woman you're referring to was his first wife. What's wrong with burying him here?"

"The first wife, in this era, Who cares about that these days? She's his ex-wife. I'm his wife now. His every move is my call, and I won't let him be buried here," Shirley exclaimed.

When Silas heard her words, his face became serious, and he thought this woman was shameless. She didn't worry about the funeral at all, and when others had arranged everything, she was dictating. It was really annoying.

He always found her too worldly. Seeing her true colours now, he couldn't hold his tongue anymore. He said coldly, "The president chose this place himself. Your words now are pointless."

"No way, I won't let them be buried together. She stole my husband when she was alive, and I won't let them be together after death." Shirley blurted out, regardless of the people around. Silas trembled with anger and pointed at Shirley, "Don't talk nonsense here. You're the gold-digger. You were pregnant with a man's child but chose to marry another. After marriage, you found out the man you looked down on had married a rich girl, and you started to create havoc, even slandering the president had a one-night stand with you, and forced the lady to death. How dare you talk here?"

Emma also understood Silas' words, trembling and looking at Silas, "Silas, what are you talking about? Am I, not my dad's child?"

"Of course, you're the president's child, but not from an extramarital affair. Your mom was pregnant with you before their marriage. She didn't like your dad because he was poor and married another

man, the gambler you mentioned. You're not Ms Galeana's little sister, but her big sister." Silas couldn't hold it anymore and revealed the truth to everyone.

He felt sorry for Hunter. This woman had deceived him.for many years and didn't know the truth until his death.

Emma's lips trembled, looking at Shirley incredulously, "Mom, is what Silas said true? You abandoned Dad, but you told me another woman stole him. You lied to me?"

People around were whispering and even pointing fingers. Ines felt so embarrassed and buried her face in Ethan's chest.

Angry and embarrassed, Shirley yelled at Silas, "Silas stop talking nonsense. That woman stole everything that was supposed to be mine."

"Yours? Everyone in A City knows our chairman started from nothing. Before marrying the Page family's daughter, he was a nobody. He had nothing back then. What could possibly be yours? Tell me."

"Mom, is it true? Are you really like what Silas said?" Emma looked at Shirley.

Shirley glared at Emma furiously, venting all her anger on her, "Emma, I'm your biological mother. Watch your tone. How can you doubt me just because of what others say? I've raised you for so many years, and now you believe a stranger."

Emma stepped back, "But you can refute it. Tell me you're not like that." She might not be a good person, but she couldn't stand her mother's deception. She felt like a chess piece being manipulated.

Shirley was speechless. Silas ordered the staff to put Hunter's ashes into the prepared hole because it was getting late. Shirley tried to stop it, but Silas grabbed her arm tightly.

Naturally, men are stronger than women. Shirley couldn't break free and threatened Silas, "Silas, you're too much. Hunter just passed away, and you're showing your true colours. Don't forget, I'm your boss now. I can fire you anytime."

Silas wasn't bothered. He was Hunter's secretary, technically a senior manager. To fire him would require a strict process. It wasn't up to her. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

As for being the Galeana family's butler, he didn't care. He wanted to stay to take care of Hunter as a way to repay his kindness. Now that Hunter was gone, he would leave ,too. He didn't want to see her disgusting face anymore.

Hunter had never mistreated him over the years. He had a lot of savings and several properties under his name. Leaving the Galeana family, he could support himself and his family.

Seeing Silas's indifferent face, Shirley gritted her teeth and cursed, "Now you're showing your true colours. You're the wolf of the Galeana family. Hunter was so good to you, and you're bullying us the moment he's gone. You even dared to call the police. Maybe you were the one who pushed Hunter down the stairs to seize his property. When I woke up, I only saw you standing next to Hunter. No one else could prove your innocence."

Silas's face turned red with anger. His loyalty to Hunter was not to be questioned by anyone, "If you don't have concrete evidence, don't make wild guesses. I've let the police investigate the truth of the matter. I, Silas, am upright and fair. I'm not afraid of your sinister intentions. You're the one with a guilty conscience. One day, you'll be exposed."

Ines couldn't be bothered with their bickering. All she did was watch as the urn was slowly swallowed by the earth, a tombstone eventually erected over it.

Looking at the two tombstones before her, Ines felt a lump in her throat. It was only now that it really hit her, and he was truly gone. Ethan saw the photo of Ines's mom too. Ines was her spitting image.

Only there was a big age gap which anyone could spot in a heartbeat.
