Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 221

221 Why Are You Blushing?

“Everyone is talking about it, Anna. And you might get yourself into trouble because of it. So, you better not go to Allie’s funeral.” Scott said to Anna over the phone.

“Oh, no! I wouldn’t be there if I didn’t know that her funeral was shortly after. Now that I know that, I’m definitely attending her funeral.”

Anna looked at herself in the mirror and tried to make her black shirt and black pants look neater. She then tied her long hair into a ponytail.

She heard Scott sigh through her wireless earphone. He said, “Okay. I’ve got stuff to do right now, so I might be late. Well, I’ll be there anyway.”

“All right, drive safely,” Anna said. She then hung up the phone.

Everyone said that Allie’s death was an accident. However, after asking several board members who were present at the time, Anna learned that Allie had jumped off the building

on her own. They all said that the situation in the company was a mess at that time. However, it was Shirley who caused all this chaos.

But, no matter what, Allie was dead.

Dylan, Allie’s uncle, planned her funeral and invited as many people as he could, including Anna.

When Anna got there, she noticed there were very few people around. So, she even suspected that she had come at the wrong time. However, it then occurred to her that no one would want to be associated with the Gabriel Group after what had happened to them.

Anna then went to Dylan and said, “My condolences.”

Dylan nodded. His eyes welled up with tears at that point as he said, “Allie had a bad temper, but she was a good girl,”

Although Anna didn’t fully agree with that, she didn’t say anything more. She just nodded her head and then turned around and prepared to leave.

Dylan suddenly stopped her and said, “Wait a minute! Allie died because something happened to the company, and she couldn’t handle the pressure. The group has become a mess now. You should be held accountable because you are Frank’s daughter!”

After hearing his words, Anna’s brow furrowed. However, Anna restrained the urge to create a fuss because they were at a funeral. She patiently explained, “I don’t own any of the company’s stock, and my father didn’t give me any assets. I have nothing to do with the group. If you’re still confused, you can ask Mr. Lee. He’s my father’s lawyer.”

Dylan looked irritated. He said, “No, I’m not going to talk to that lawyer; I’m just going to let you take the responsibility! Why did Frank expect us to clean up this huge mess for him? You should take action since you’re his daughter.”

Anna thought he was ridiculous and immediately said sarcastically, “But when you knew about my father’s will, you didn’t even seem to care about ‘fairness’ at all.”

Dylan looked even more somber. He said, “That’s different! Now is the time for you to explain yourself to Allie and the rest of us! This company belongs to your father, so you must be responsible for this mess!”

“Just leave Anna the f**k alone!” Scott said. Even though he was standing in the crowd, Anna could hear him clearly.

Anna felt a hand gently tugging at her before she could turn around. She had just looked up when she saw Randal standing behind Scott.

“Get Anna out of here.” Randal, Scott said. He then took off his sunglasses and looked at everyone; his expression became extremely unpleasant.

As Anna left with Randal, she heard Scott saying in the distance, “I knew you all were up to no good when you made Anna go to Allie’s funeral! What did you want to do to her? Did you guys think no one would support Anna? You can’t blame her for this disaster! When you divided her father’s estate, you utterly ignored her. What makes you think you get to take advantage of her now?! I’m telling you, no f*****g way!”

“There’s a lot of people there! I’m afraid they will hurt Scott!” Anna expressed her apprehension.

“Don’t worry, Anna. Someone is protecting him,” Randal said without glancing back as he helped Anna to get into his car.

Anna immediately looked in the direction he was looking,

Someone let out a dismayed yell just as he finished speaking. Even though Anna was far away from there, she heard the man cry bitterly and the sound of bones breaking.

No wonder Scott dares to scold the hell out of those shameless jerks,
