A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 319

The news of Derek’s car accident has been suppressed by the Lewis family, so few media or newspaper agencies know about it. They have also invited close family and friends to the funeral only.

Lily in a black dress goes to the cemetery with Louis and others.

After getting off from the car, Lily sees Leigh and his mother from afar. Evelyn looks withered. Derek’s death seems to have made her aged overnight.

Derek has a good reputation in public. He’s known for loving Evelyn very much. Louis has told Lily that after the car accident, Evelyn rushes to the hospital and holds her husband’s dead body crying for a whole night.

Next to Leigh stands Jessie, in a black dress. A small black gauze hat covers her delicate face. Occasionally her lips apart, comforting Evelyn from time to time. However, there’s no sadness or happiness shown on her face.

Withdrawing her gaze, Lily heaves a sigh inwardly.

Even if Derek has done something embarrassing, he’s still a loving husband to Evelyn for decades. Also, he is Leigh’s father. If Evelyn knew the true, how could she get along with Jessie?

Seeing Daniel and others coming over, Leigh comes up to greet them.

“Hi, Daniel, Louis.” Except that his eyes are dimmed, Leigh looks energetic. His voice is a bit hoarse. “Thanks for coming.”

Daniel pats on his shoulder. “Sorry for your loss.”

“I don’t feel that sad.” Leigh shrugs, looking away. Then he says ironically, “Upon the things that he has done secretly, such a death might be God’s retribution.”

It’s also because what his father has done makes Leigh refuse to inherit the family business.

The funeral starts at nine o’clock.

Everyone is standing silently. After Derek’s coffin is buried, the guests go up to express their condolence one after another.

There are not so many guests attending the funeral, so it ends within an hour.

When leaving the cemetery, Lily casts a glance at Jessie. She releases Louis’ hand and says in a low voice, “You can leave with Daniel. I’ll go over to see how Jessie is doing.”

Louis nods in agreement.

Evelyn still can’t control her emotion. She’s standing in front of Derek’s tombstone, crying in silence. Jessie comforts her, “Auntie Evelyn, please restrain your grief.” She continues, “Although the news is blocked to public, employees in the company should know it. It still needs you and Leigh.”

Evelyn nodded. Holding Jessie’s hand tightly, she says, “Jessie, we’re so lucky to have you... If you weren’t here with me, I don’t know how I could get through.”

“Not only me. Leigh also cares a lot about you.”

When Lily is approaching, she hears Jessie comforting Evelyn in a low voice. She stands in a distance to prevent interrupting them. It’s not until Jessie has asked someone to send Evelyn away does Lily walk to her.

With a sigh, Lily asks, “You still need to comfort Aunt Evelyn... You must be feeling very bitter.”

“Have you known everything?”

“Yep, Louis told me about it.” The two women start walking towards the entrance side by side. Lily says in a gentle tone, “You’re really kind-hearted. You didn’t vent your anger to the whole Lewis family.”

Jessie smiles, and it’s somewhat bitter. “Of course I wanted. I wanted revenge the whole Lewis family so much... But Auntie Evelyn and Leigh don’t know anything about what Derek Lewis has done. My enemy is only Derek Lewis.”

Since Leigh has protected her from the gunshot earlier, Jessie’s heart becomes softened. She can’t do ruthless things to him.

When she rushes to the hospital with Leigh and sees Derek’s dead body, she feels delighted. She feels that she finally has avenged her older sister and parents.

However, when she sees the crying Evelyn and Leigh’s sad and disappointed face, the delight in her heart is replaced by a sense of guilt quickly, which really annoys her.

She has even regretted for having participated in the revenge plan.

She wishes that she has hired a smart girl instead of herself to get close to Leigh and complete her revenge.
