Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1618

Death And Burial

The duke did not rush to answer Nicole. Instead, he took a few sips of his tea before explaining the matter.

It turned out that Portia had been living with her family for the past two years. Three months ago, the duke had suddenly received news that she had drowned after falling into a lake.

At the same time, there were rumors that Portia was too bad-tempered and stubborn, leading to quarrels and disputes with her brother and sister-in-law. For that reason, she had become depressed and drowned herself in the lake.

Some also said that her brother and sister-in-law had done something to shame her. Portia had sacrificed herself for her family for years and finally realized that her sacrifices were in vain. And because of that, she had grown depressed and drowned herself in the lake. Moreover, the duke heard that Portia had a big row with her brother and sister-in-law before her death. The Ankins family was embarrassed by what had happened, so they kept everything to themselves.

Therefore, no one knew the truth behind Portia’s drowning.

Although Evan and Nicole both disliked Portia, they were still a little sad to hear about her sudden passing.

It was disheartening to know someone died this way in her old age.

“Dad, where did they bury her?” Nicole asked.

Her father’s expression immediately turned solemn. “The Ankins family reported her passing to me. We had divorced before her death. Seeing that we had lived together for many years, I bought her a burial plot.”

“What? The Ankins family was not even willing to pay for her burial?” Nicole was shocked.

The duke sighed and said, “Yes, that is why I believe the rumors that she drowned herself because she had a hard time when staying with her family.”
