Chapter 1677
Jonah’s body was placed in a funeral home and was about to be cremated. There were very few people who came
to mourn. The relatives who came to mourn him were basically only there for the inheritance that he had left
behind.
After selling his company’s shares, he had obtained more than $7,000,000. In addition to the hefty savings and
other investments that he had accumulated over the years, there were at least several billion dollars. Jonah
originally planned to use this fund to bring his daughter abroad. Lara was his only daughter, so she was the one
who inherited everything after her father died.
Lara was dressed in black and wearing a headscarf
in front of her father’s portrait, ignoring the faces of relatives who were there to put up a play, pretending to mourn
her father.
That was until a figure stepped into the funeral home from outside.
It was Ken.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKen placed the white rose in his hand in the center of the wreath, looked straight at the portrait, and bowed to him.
Lara, who was standing next to him, sneered. “The Reeses have collapsed into smithereens, and you’ve gotten
nothing out of this. Now that my father is dead, you don’t have to hypocritically lend him a helping hand in
everything that he asks of you. You finally got rid of him after so many years, so you should be delighted, shouldn’t
you?” Ken tidied the hem of the collar of his jacket and turned to look at her. “Lars, I’m very saddened by this
situation too, but you’re the center of the turmoil all this while, aren’t you? You’re the one who started all this.”
Lara was trembling with anger. “Isn’t it because of you? You purposely left that girl’s identity out the other day,
didn’t you?”
Ken did not utter a single word.
Lara’s eyes were bloodshot. “You knew everything about her identity and knew that I was planning to deal with her,
but you didn’t stop me. In fact, you were trying to use this opportunity to curry favor with the Goldmanns. So that
even if the Reeses were to collapse in the future, you’d get everything that once belonged to the Reeses.”
She then laughed sarcastically. “But you didn’t expect that this blow would leave the Reeses with no room to stop
the drop and start all over at all. This is the part that went beyond your expectation. After the incident, as soon as
you couldn’t see any hope in the Reeses, you dropped
everything and left us behind cold bloodedly, and you’ve managed to distance yourself from the center of the
storm.
“But don’t you forget, in order to capture the Reeses’ attention and maintain your image in front of my father, you
had cooked up a lot of schemes for my father. You had done everything in your ability to please my father, win our
trust, and even deceive my feelings. Aren’t you afraid of retribution!?”
She screamed hysterically at the top of her lungs, and the scene became silent because of her reaction.
Ken’s expression dimmed. He stared at her exasperated face for a long time and asked, “Do you have any feelings
for me? What you need is a loyal dog that will follow you around, wagging its tail, not a fiance.” She was astounded
by his question for a split second and then burst into tears and laughter. “I already knew that you didn’t have any
feelings for me. You’re here only because of my background and power. Since that’s the case, you and I are just
two individuals who are living off a mutual relationship.”
She restrained herself. All her emotions had broken her, leaving her in a state of pure numbness. “Did you come to

She then turned around. “You can take everything if you
want. I won’t even keep a penny for myself.”
She knelt on the ground beside the coffin, stroked her father’s peaceful face, let off a smile , and hummed the
lullaby that her father always hummed to her to put her into bed when she was a child.
Everyone around her thought she had lost her mind.
Daisie saw Jonah’s death on the news, and all her coursemates were discussing it early in the morning, including
the topic that claimed that Lara had gone crazy. She sat in her seat , listening to the discussions around her, and
lowered her gaze as if a lot of things were going through her mind at the moment.
Freyja walked into the classroom with a carton of milk, placed the carton on the table, and sat down. “The change
in the Reeses is quite big, huh? I didn’t expect that Lara’s retribution would turn into something so serious.”
Daisie pursed her lips for quite some time and asked after a while, “Has Lara truly lost her mind?”
“Why would you care if it’s true or fake? Isn’t this the retribution that she deserves?” Freyja looked calm.” Since she
crossed so many lines back then, why should we pity her when the roulette of fate now deems that her time’s up?
“If we were to think so, wouldn’t it be extremely unfair to the celebrity who lost her job because Lara disfigured
her? And now that she’s become a victim of fate, does it make everything that she did in the past irrelevant? I don’t
think so.”
