The news of Fanny's sudden death spread throughout Richburgh.
Previously, many regretted that Fanny had given up the opportunity to become the top female star to marry Oliver.
When they learned that she was the Channings’ adopted daughter and childhood friends with Oliver, and considered each other as siblings, the marriage took on an ambiguous tone.
No one expected more than three years later, the initially underestimated couple had walked together to the present. Those who had seen them together claimed that the two treated each other with respect, and seemed genuinely happy.
Some even joked that Kenneth had arranged a perfect match for Oliver since his childhood, leading to this fortunate union.
In summary, their marriage was considered a beautiful story. What no one foresaw was that Fanny would die at the peak of this seemingly blissful marriage.
When Diana heard the news, she struggled to remain standing. Fanny had extended a helping hand to her during her most difficult and helpless times.
Although they hadn't been in frequent contact over the years, Diana attributed much of her current success in the fashion industry and the growth of her personal brand to Fanny's initial financial support.
Fanny had played a significant role in helping her establish her studio and launching her brand worldwide.
Apart from the financial relationship, Diana and Fanny had maintained a good friendship. Recently, they had even met occasionally.
"I always feel like it was just the other day when the three of us, Fanny, Cecilia, and I, sat at the same table for dinner," Diana reminisced.
Fanny's image, her laughter, everything was vivid in her mind.
"This is just so odd! How could she just die like this?!"
Standing in the funeral procession, Diana's emotions were complex.
From his perspective, Diana was behaving unusually today. She wasn't usually someone who lacked discretion, and she certainly wouldn't repeatedly say such absurd things.
But today, she seemed a bit out of her mind.
"Would Oliver joke about his wife's death? If a person is perfectly fine but insists on saying she's dead, arranging a funeral for her, that's..."
The thought sent shivers down his spine.
"It's impossible," he denied. "Oliver loves Fanny very much. When I sent Sean to the training camp before, I talked to him about him and Fanny. I could sense that he was looking forward to them having a good life together. Fate just didn't go as planned, and Fanny lost her life at such a young age."
"No, something's wrong." Diana still felt something was off. "Fanny had a baby. Why didn't Oliver mention that?"
Last night, Diana had already contacted Fanny's manager.
