The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 215

Brook’s memorial service was scheduled for Saturday. After the morning farewell ceremony, the family's relatives took the ashes for burial at the cemetery. According to Brook's wish in his lifetime, he wanted to be buried next to Florence Barnett after his death. Sofia Mason cried and fainted once at the funeral after knowing this news. But she agreed to it at last.

Even if she agreed to it, Hayden disagreed with her. And Hayden's aunt, Scarlett Zack, rejected this suggestion too. So the Hayden family had to choose another cemetery, far away from Florence's grave.

"Brook, don't worry. I'll take care of our daughter and manage the company after you're gone. My brother's kids have grown up and they have the ability too. According to your will, they all have the right to inherit the company…"

An ordinary funeral turned into a share distribution conference by Sofia.

Hayden was depressed listening to it. She stood still for a while, and she then pulled away from the crowd quietly.

Brook was considered pulling himself up by his bootstraps, having a hard lifetime and suffering, and still being set up by Sofia in the end. Hayden wouldn't believe that her father would leave all the inheritance to Sofia and her maiden family member. Even in order, it should be given to Chelsea Downey first.

Everything was gone after death. Hayden no longer wanted to get involved with the Downey family now.

Before Hayden left, she went to her mother's grave to have a look.

After squatting down and pulling the weeds, Hayden looked at the photo on the tombstone and let out a sorrowful voice, "Mother, I guess you should be able to see dad in the after-world now. I have taken it upon myself to forgive him. But I think you wouldn't want me to hate him too. Grandpa told me that when you gave birth to me, you gave me this name, hoping that I will live my life in peace..."

After rambling a lot, Hayden was tired of standing and wanted to leave. As she turned around, she came across someone in black, with a dazzling white flower on the black shirt.

Sofia was staring at Hayden icily, and she spoke meanly, "I've been searching for you for a long time and you've come here by yourself. You think that I have nothing better to do?"

When Brook was still alive, Sofia was used to be a good stepmother. But everything was gone after death.

Hayden sneered on the inside and spoke casually, "The funeral is over and what else do you want from me?"

Sofia tittered as she scanned Hayden contemptuously as if she had been prepared for this, "The funeral is over but don't you want to hear about your father's will?"

Hayden frowned, "Does it have something to do with me?"

"It's a pity." Sofia laughed out loud, "It indeed has nothing to do with you, not even a single word mentioning you in his will. Don't you think it's funny? He didn't even leave any things for the daughter who he always fond of after he died."

The look on Sofia being pompous and arrogant was making Hayden sick.

"Florence, look at you. Your daughter who you always thought of, was actually worthless in the eyes of Brook. He left nothing for your daughter, do you know?"

Sofia glared at the picture on the tombstone, with her eyes popping out and filled with resentment.

Hayden blocked in front of the tombstone and said in a cold voice, "Please behave yourself and respect the dead. My mother has no point of being humiliated by you."

"Humiliating?" Sofia curled her lips, "Do you think she humiliated me less? She was being lofty, aloof and pretentious, but she still lost her life, isn't she? What goes around comes around, Florence. Do you think you can beat me by leaving such a bitch behind?"

Hayden shivered with anger, "Beat it…"

"Who are you to tell me to leave? There's a thing I wanted to do a long time ago."

Sofia raised her arm fiercely.

There was light rain in the sky. When Hayden raised her head, a raindrop fell on her eyelashes, and she closed her eyes, not having a chance to dodge the slap. And it was too late by the time she realized it.

But the expected pain didn't fall on her face. Instead, Sofia exclaimed, "Who are you?"
