Linny’s grandmother’s shaky voice came from the back. “Did something happen?”


    Be looked back and met the olddy’s worried gaze. With a lump in


    her throat, she went over to help her up.


    “Everything is okay. Just focus on sending Linny off. No matter what


    happens, we are here for you.”


    A throng of press swarmed the area outside the funeral hall, their


    cameras fixated on the unfolding ceremony.


    The funeral would make headlines because the attendees were key


    yers in the Salvador and Thompson families. Linny was the only


    victim in a shooting incident.


    The press had to assume Linny’s death was linked to these families


    The news would be a nationwide expose.


    The life of an innocent working-ss girl was cut short by the crue


    of the wealthy.


    Who was responsible for the innocent girl’s life? That was the


    mystery that captivated the press.


    Be knew that would happen.


    Shannon and Brenda lured the blood-sucking press to the venue.


    The Salvadors’ fleet of fancy cars stacked outside the gate, and the bodyguards exited the vehicle to


    form a human barrier to push the reporters back. The wife and daughter of Salvador Corporation’s


    chairman had to keep up with appearances.


    In the car, Shannon took out herpact and powdered her lips, trying to make her well-maintained


    skin look haggard.


    “Mom, do we have to attend the funeral?”


    Bethany looked out the tinted window. Be and her resourceful brothers’ presence in the funeral hall


    sent shivers down her spine. ” We didn’t get anywhere during thest few times we tried to outdo her.


    In fact, she humiliated us.


    “Linny, the traitor, just died. Shouldn’t we fly under the radar for now?”


    “Fly under the radar? Hmph! Do you think it’s necessary at this point?”


    Shannon mmed thepact powder shut. Her pale face, paired with her menacing expression and


    grim eyes, made her look like a ghost. “If Be has proof, why didn’t shee knocking on our do days


    ago? We heard nothing from her because she had no leads


    proof to charge us with.”


    Bethany nodded pensively.


    That was true. Knowing Be, she would have gone after Salvador Corporation if she had proof. She


    would not wait until now.


    “The press is also aware that Linny is a maid of the Salvador family. As thedy of the house, I should


    make an appearance and demonstrate my friendly side. I can’t let the media think we are a heartless


    family.”


    Shannon was maniptive. “I need to show my face at the funeral to


    rebuild my reputation.


    “Do you have the money for Linny’s family?”


    “I got it, but why should we give away so much, Mom?” Bethany was

    reluctant.


    “I won’t hesitate to give the money away to keep the olddy’s mouth


    shut.”


    Hiding the horrifying truth was paramount.


    Shannon and Bethany stepped out of the car,posing themselves for a public appearance. As


    seasoned actresses, they knew how to


    turn on the waterworks for the cameras.


    “Mrs. Salvador, rumor has it that the victim was your personal maid. Is that true?” A journalist shoved a


    microphone up Shannon’s face.


    Shannon wiped her tears with a handkerchief. “Yes. Linny was my maid. She was a kind soul and


    diligent in her service. My whole fam


    was fond of her.”


    “Although Linny was primarily responsible for caring for my sist had a sisterly rtionship with Linny.


    We had been nothing but n to her.” Bethany wailed exaggeratedly.


    Bethany would not pass up a chance to take a dig at Carrie.
