Chapter 434 Inquiring Lance
Niamh followed Deacon.
Deacon was the only person she could rely on at the moment.
As Natalie confessed to the crime, the truth about Dovie's murder came to light, sparking a new trend on the Internet and spreading throughout the city.
Natalie's scheming against her sister for the sake of family property and the company sparked anger and sharp criticism from netizens.
Upon learning about the incident, Celia and Jude also scolded Natalie harshly.
They scolded her as heartless, ruthless, and vicious.
Both couldn't understand how Natalie could be so heartless.
Susan was furious as well. She was sick in bed.
Upstairs, Susan could hear Celia's cursing.
Susan took out George's photo to reminisce, her aged hands caressing the picture, eyes filled with tears. "If you were still alive, seeing your two daughters turn out like this must be heartbreaking. Natalie has always been competitive. Dovie was too kind.”
Dovie and Natalie were both George’s daughters. Yet now one of them were dead, the other was in prison.
Susan saw Dovie and Natalie as her own daughters, watching them grow up. She also felt sorry for George.
The Parks family now only had Niamh and Ophelia left.
Dovie's body was placed in the funeral parlour. With Finnegan's support, Ophelia entered the room.
When Ophelia arrived, she saw a coffin in the center of the room, with the LED display on the wall reading: 'Deeply mourn the passing of Dovie'.
When Ophelia saw the name Dovie, she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
Ophelia clumsily made her way to the coffin, lifted the yellow cloth covering it, and looked at Dovie lying peacefully inside, bursting into tears. "Mom, mom.”
Finnegan's eyes were also moist, one hand supporting Ophelia, silently comforting her, the other hand on the coffin, deeply grieved.
Ophelia's eyes had been swollen from crying these days, and her tears never dried up. How she wished Dovie could come back to life.
“Mom, how much I hope this is just a dream!" Ophelia cried. “How much I hope you would wake up. Mom, it's all my fault. If I had been with you, Natalie wouldn't have harmed you. Natalie has confessed, but I wish you were alive. Whether Natalie is punished or not doesn't matter.
"Ophe." Finnegan buried Ophelia's head in his chest, shielding her from looking at Dovie, as seeing the corpse would only cause more sorrow.
Celia and Jude also came to bid Dovie farewell.
Both of them had shed tears when they saw Dovie lying in the coffin.
Finnegan didn't let Susan come, fearing she wouldn't be able to bear it.
After the final goodbye, the cremation procedures were carried out.
As the day gradually darkened, Ophelia held the urn, gently caressing it, softly saying, "Mom, we are going home."
Finnegan supported Ophelia, with Celia and Jude following behind.
Dovie's memorial service took place at the Parks family's old mansion. Ophelia arrived with the urn, and the Parks family's nanny and chauffeur came out to welcome them, standing silently on both sides.
In the days that followed, many people came to pay their respects to Dovie, who was highly respected in her lifetime for her righteousness and good reputation. Those who knew Dovie were all influential figures in the circle. Their presence at the funeral not only mourned Dovie but also recognized Ophelia's status as the Parks family's heiress and the sole inheritor of the Parks Corporation.
Dovie's connections during her lifetime paved the way for Ophelia, enough to ensure her smooth sailing throughout her life.
On the day of the burial, it was overcast.
Standing in front of the tombstone, Ophelia remembered Sybil's curse on Dovie.
Dovie truly died because of her loved ones.
Members of the Prescott family, including Rhodes and Lance, also attended.
After the funeral, Ophelia stopped Lance, who was getting ready to leave, and said, "Mr. Jennings, can I talk to you for a moment?
