“Yosef, stop!”

Old Godfather immediately intervened, “Emmanuel didn’t mean any harm. There’s no need to further amplify the sadness at this point.”

Yosef halted, but his expression couldn’t regain its former composure.

Susie looked at him, understanding that he must be feeling very upset right now.

He had been in love with Queenie for over 20 years and had silently waited for her to change her mind. He believed strongly that Queenie would ultimately choose him, especially after learning about Emmanuel’s marriage.

Yosef had always known that Queenie never really had a boyfriend. The men she brought home during New Year’s Day were all intentionally meant to provoke Emmanuel.

He was the one who understood Queenie the most and was the most tolerant toward her. But he definitely couldn’t have expected that instead of Queenie changing her mind, he would ultimately receive news of her death.

It must be disappointing and painful to wait for a love that would never be reciprocated.

“Emmanuel, you’re responsible for Queenie’s death. The money your family gave me won’t be enough!” At that moment, Queenie’s mother, Nancy Griffin, approached and sarcastically demanded money from Emmanuel.

“How much more do you want?” Mackenzie didn’t wait for Emmanuel to respond and asked coldly.

“You only gave our family 45 thousand, but my daughter is so beautiful. She’s worth at least 150 thousand!” Nancy made an exorbitant demand that even her husband thought the same, not to mention the villagers around them.

The average annual income in Hero’s Village was only 4,500. How could anyone think their daughter was worth 150 thousand?

But Mackenzie sneered, “Fine, I’ll give you another 105 thousand, but you’re not allowed to mention this to Emmanuel again!”

“Really?” Nancy suddenly looked pleasantly surprised, as if she had forgotten that it was Queenie’s funeral. Even her husband and Howard instantly stopped feeling sad.

“I don’t have time to joke with you.”

Mackenzie took out a pre-prepared card and handed it to Alessandra while saying, “Mom, there’s 150 thousand in this card. When the Banner family pays you back the 45 thousand, give it to them.”

“This-” Alessandra hesitated, feeling that it wasn’t right for her daughter-in-law to pay for it. Besides, Queenie had done this voluntarily!
