In Kubay, two great families intertwined in chaos.
Shirling, however, was abuzz with the death of George, the chairman of the James family, after a long illness, yet Miss James was thrust into the limelight.
The reason for this was that the last person George ever met was Nellie.
While Nellie came out of the ward, it was not long before a medical nurse found that George's oxygen tube had been cut short, resulting in a non-illness death.
And so the entire succession to the James family was now up for grabs.
"You're so cruel, your father has always protected you, how dare you do such a thing to inherit the whole James family?"
At the funeral, Catherine was crying hard, grieving and blaming, pointing all fingers at Nellie.
The guests were already looking at Nellie differently because of the public opinion that had already been raised.
Now in the accusation of Catherine, all the people started pointing at her, "What an unfilial daughter, it is this daughter that George protected the most all these years."
"Yes. How many messes have been cleaned up for her? She really acted the same as her mother, her mother cheated within marriage and now she killed her father."
Nellie had been reluctant to deal with these people, but when her mother came out of their mouths in that image, her world was torn apart and shattered.
Her eyes were stern as she looked at Catherine, "I advise you to be more restrained."
Catherine cried with teary eyes.
"You rebellious daughter, you got your own father killed, and you dare to threaten me." Catherine raged.
Stepping forward, she was about to slap Nellie.
However, Nellie grabbed her wrist and gave her a vicious push.
With a 'bang', Catherine fell to the ground, and when Hazel saw this, she immediately stepped forward, "Nellie, you killed your father, and now you want to hit my mother, what are you doing?"
The already tense atmosphere in the room was now still.
The words that come out were unbearable.
Nellie knew that Catherine and Hazel would not let her off easily today, "I should be asking you guys this question."
Nellie swept sternly over the crowd.
Everyone who had been talking a moment ago was now stopping at the hostility in her gaze.
Stomping on her black heels, Nellie came to Catherine, who at this moment finally sensed the danger in her.
Her rampant arrogance was something the entire James family had seen before.
Now Catherine had no any restraint but subconsciously stepped back.
Leaning in to her ear, Nellie opened her mouth, "Better not let me find out you got him in his marriage, a mistress is much more brazen than cheating."
Catherine's face went white as she looked towards Nellie.
How did she know?
These things were so long ago and no one had ever known about it.
"Nellie." Seeing Nellie threaten her mother, Hazel angrily and tried to push her away.
However, as soon as she reached out her hand, she was grabbed by Catherine, Hazel's face stiffened, "What are you doing, Mom?"
"Go away." Catherine's tone was stiff and tight, and she looked at Nellie as if she was looking at a terrible monster.
Satisfied with Catherine's reaction, Nellie stood up, "I'll leave the follow-up of the funeral to you."
"I believe you are a wise person, if some slander is too much, beware it backfires on you."
The crowd subconsciously made way for her as she finished speaking.
This moment even at a funeral showed her fluttering pride.
When Hazel saw that she could attract all eyes in such a situation, her hands clenched into fists and she was trembling with anger.
"Does her mother need us to slander what she did? Back then..."
