The visitor was none other than Angela’s cold and unfeeling father, Bill.
That morning, as soon as Bill stepped out of his house, a crowd of reporters bombarded him.
They relentlessly pelted him with questions for nearly half an hour, giving him an extreme headache.
Thinking he could escape the chaos by heading to the company, he arrived only to find another group of people waiting for him at the entrance.
To make matters worse, every employee in the company had already received a video of him and Judy holding a funeral for Angela–all while she was still alive.
Now, everyone knew he had hurriedly organized a funeral for his daughter when she was perfectly fine.
Before long, Graham Group’s stock price had plummeted to an all–time low.
