At that moment, Cheryl discreetly glanced at the person presiding over the funeral. Janessa’s aunt should be here, considering how significant this occasion is, but there is only a host here. This doesn’t seem right. It’s too strange that her aunt isn’t showing up.

After paying their respects, Cheryl walked off to the side with Caleb.

“Caleb, don’t you think there’s something off about Janessa’s aunt?” Cheryl asked in confusion. “She made such a big fuss about the funeral online, but then she didn’t show up. Isn’t that strange?”

The funeral was held at a funeral home in the city center, where a significant number of media outlets had gathered. The scene was abuzz with chatter, yet it seemed like no one was stepping up to manage the situation.

“Her aunt’s side of the family is so mysterious.” Caleb was also very perplexed.

Just as the pair was consumed by confusion, the media suddenly swarmed in front of them, thrusting their microphones toward their mouths.

“Ms. Sherritt, the person who passed away is your half–sister, sharing the same father. Can you tell us what you’re feeling at this very moment, attending her funeral?” a reporter asked, holding the microphone high.

“You were the one who personally sent your sister to prison this time, and now you’re attending her funeral. Are you here to revel in her misfortune?”

“Ms. Sherritt, no family members of Janessa are present today. Are you here to host the funeral as her relative?”

“Ms. Sherritt, what exactly are you thinking? Would you mind sharing with us?”

“Ms. Sherritt, could you please respond?”

For a moment, the media swarmed around Cheryl and Caleb, cornering them.

Fortunately, Cheryl had anticipated that scenario.

She knew that as soon as she and Caleb made an appearance, they would undoubtedly be bombarded with a slew of piercing questions. For that reason, Cheryl had already prepared her responses in advance.

Thus, putting on a sorrowful expression, she spoke mournfully. “I appreciate everyone’s concern. However, I came to attend my sister’s funeral today with a heavy heart. I’m afraid I cannot face everyone in a good state.”

Upon hearing that, the media unanimously nodded, indicating their understanding.

Following that, Cheryl started to showcase her acting skills.

She first eniffled then with

ways. However, I’ve always known that my sister has had this kind of personality. Coupled with her background. I can fully understand why she dislikes me. I’ve also always tried to put myself in her shoes, considering things from her perspective. Even though she took over the company and ousted both my brother and me. I didn’t feel any anger. I believe that as long as she can manage the company well. I’m willing to give it all to her. However, I never expected she would actually have the heart to hurt Dad!”

As she spoke, Cheryl wore an expression of such profound sorrow that it tugged at the heartstrings of anyone who saw her. “When the doctor determined that my father had fallen into a deep coma due to the drug my sister had given him, I finally realized the extent of her cruelty. All these years, my concessions had only made her even more ruthless and terrifying. It was then that I discovered just how twisted her heart had become! Later on, she even committed unauthorized trading with the company’s stocks, plunging the company into a seemingly irreparable situation.”

At that moment, not a single soul spoke on the scene. Everyone was completely engrossed, listening to Cheryl spinning her tales. “Do you really think I was eager to push my sister off her pedestal? That I was keen on sending her to prison? That’s not what I had in mind.” As Cheryl spoke, she continued to cry. “If it weren’t for my deep love for my father, if it weren’t for Sherritt Group being the fruit of his many years of hard work: how could I possibly hurt my sister? However, it was her twisted heart that left me no choice but to make this decision. I swear, all I wanted was for my sister to have some time in prison to reform herself. After she gets out, we’ll still be as close as we’ve always been, and there will always be a place for her in the company. That’s truly what I had in mind! However, I never thought my sister would actually… I’m sorry, Janessa. I’ve let you down.”

As the performance continued, Cheryl became wholly engrossed in her role. Unexpectedly, she found herself crouched on the ground, clutching her head and breaking into genuine sobs.

Quickly stepping in, Caleb reassured, “Cheryl, you can’t blame yourself for this. You really shouldn’t feel guilty. You simply did what you were supposed to do. Everyone’s life and death are predestined. Janessa’s death has absolutely nothing to do with you, understand?”

“No, it’s all my fault, all my fault. Everyone will blame me. It’s all my fault…” Cheryl sobbed uncontrollably, seemingly unable to stop her tears.
