A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 203

“How could you be so blatant? Aren’t you afraid that Leigh might be jealous?” Lily jokes.

“I am pissed at him first!” Jessie snorts, “Knowing that we are friends, yet he kept Louis’s conspiracy a secret! He should’ve told us.”

“After all, President Smith is his buddy.” Lily purses her lips and says, “Go to the company tomorrow and find out when Jason Smith’s funeral will be, Jessie.”

Jessie nods.

After all, Jason belongs to the Smiths. News of his death spreads around that night and many media rushes to the hospital. But none of them knows how he died.

“I thought he was a jerk, but I didn’t expect…” Jessie says.

The pain in Lily’s heart is overwhelming.

Jason doesn’t have to protect her from the shot, obviously. Nothing would happen if he didn’t do it.

This favor could never be paid off.

Jessie says that she asked for a day-off and will accompany Lily. It comforts Lily but she doesn’t feel like going home. So now she is staying at Daisy, her mom’s temporarily.

Lily occasionally sees news about the Smiths when she is doing the research.

After Olivia Smith takes over the Smith Group, the stocks become stable. But all kinds of negativity are weighing on the Smiths. Everything is disrupted, in addition to the entire group are laying off many staffs.

Lily sneers.

After learning the truth, she knows how powerful Louis is. Now that he must be plotting something because he quits after letting Olivia be in charge of the Smith Group.

As for what he wants to do, she doesn’t want to know.

Jessie texted Lily that Jason will be buried at the Smiths’ cemetery the day after tomorrow. All the Smith staffs can also attend the funeral to express their condolences.

The day after tomorrow?

Lily stares at the pair of white pearl earrings in her palm. The pearls are round, delicate and very beautiful. She can’t help crying when she thinks of Jason dying in her arms.

Early in the funeral morning, Lily puts on a black skirt and black gauze hat, which add solemnity to her aura.

She sees Coffey waiting there after going downstairs.

“I will go with you, Lily.” He is also in black, “I want to thank him.”

“Ok.”

The Smiths’ cemetery is in the suburbs. It takes two and a half hours to drive there. The cemetery is very large and was bought by the ancestors of the family fifty years ago. They hope that the entire family would be buried together.

After getting there by car, Lily sees that many cars already had been parked in the open-air parking lot.

Lily peaks at a Pagani while pressing her lips and entering the cemetery with Coffey. She can see many people standing there from a distance.

“Jason, my boy…”

After walking closer, Lily sees Janet, who is in distress, and looks very haggard. She keeps watching Jason's tombstone while crying. There is someone nearby comforting her.

"Lily." Jessie runs over and whispers, "I don't think you should have come. Those who are here today are from the Smith family. Look at Jason’s mother."

"Jason died because of me, how can I not come?" Lily says.

Jessie sighs.

Lily walks into the crowd and sees Louis. He is sitting in a wheelchair in a black suit, with no expression on his face. As if he could feel her sight, he turns his head and looks over and meets Lily's gaze.

When he sees Lily, his eyes move and change.

There seems to be a sense of guilt.
