Chapter 1679: Chapter 626: Funeral
Andrew llon has passed away!
One morning, Andrew llon, who had fallen asleep, never woke up again.
The news of Andrew llon’s death quickly spread through the upper echelons of the United States.
Many people called to inquire about the situation of the llon Family.
At the sa ti, the llon Family also published Andrew llon’s obituary in the newspapers.
The entire llon Family beca busy due to Andrew llon’s passing.
As the founder of the llon Family and given Andrew llon’s forr social standing, his funeral could hardly be a modest affair.
In the following two days, nurous federal elites arrived at llon Manor in Pittsburgh.
When people saw Donnie present there, they were slightly surprised, knowing Donnie’s relationship with Andrew llon, but they assud Donnie had simply arrived earlier than them.
That evening, a vigil was held at llon Manor in Pittsburgh.
Generally, such events are held in churches or funeral hos.
During a vigil, people can sit quietly to listen to music, read, whisper to the deceased, chat with relatives, etc., without fixed ti requirents.
Participants might register in a guest book, which is kept by the family.
Additionally, the family may display photos, valuable items, and other morabilia representing the deceased’s habits and achievents.
If the deceased died due to accidental death, fire, severe bodily damage, or deformity due to illness, or if the family emotionally cannot bear to see the deceased’s body, a closed casket may be chosen.
This was not the case for Andrew llon.
Donnie sat there in a black suit, with the President of the United States Franklin Roosevelt, the actual controller of Morgan, Jack Morgan, Junior Rockefeller from the Rockefeller Family, Pierre DuPont from the DuPont Family, and others beside him.
Although Franklin Roosevelt and Jack Morgan were still in a cold war phase, they understood that today was not a day for any mishaps, so they were restrained.
“Block, I didn’t realize you arrived here so early!”
Franklin Roosevelt said to Donnie.
Donnie nodded and replied, “I ca over when Andrew was critically ill, just didn’t expect Andrew to hold on for just these few days!”
Upon hearing Donnie say this, the few people sitting beside him revealed so thoughts.
They already knew from William llon about Andrew llon’s arrangents.
Even though Donnie only held the position of Vice President and Director of the llon Consortium.
But Donnie’s identity was too sensitive.
Andrew llon’s arrangents before his death had deeply bound the llon Consortium with the Venus Bank.
This ans Donnie, from now on, can not only mobilize Venus Bank’s resources but, to so extent, even the resources of the llon Consortium.
If this is the case…
Forget it, even without this matter, Donnie is already the most powerful figure in the United States, now with the llon Consortium, it only further reinforces that Donnie is soone not to be provoked.
Pierre DuPont, who had remained silent, felt a hint of pride within.
Before the financial crisis, Pierre DuPont had submitted to the Block Family to save the entire DuPont Consortium.
He restructured the DuPont Consortium’s assets, allowing the Block Family to enter the core industries of the DuPont Family, a move that many mocked.
Now it’s different, the llon Family has joined his ranks.
He wonders who will still ridicule the DuPont Family!
Franklin Roosevelt also felt so relief within, knowing Donnie’s relationship with Andrew llon but not expecting it to be so close.
Andrew llon confidently entrusted Donnie with stabilizing the llon Family.
If he had chosen Venus Bank over Morgan back then, he might be attending this funeral not as the President of the United States but as the head of the Roosevelt Family.
Not only were controllers of U.S. consortia present, but many old aristocrats were as well.
Robert Lillard’s family, the Adams Family, was present.
Caron Block’s family, the Harrison Family, was present.
Donnie greeted them on behalf of the llon Family.
These people noticed that the llon Family had no objections to Donnie’s behavior.
They had many thoughts in mind.
Undeniably, whether through marriage with Robert Lillard or Caron Block, it was due to their favor toward the Block Family.
However, they weren’t sure how much benefit such a marriage could truly bring to the two families.
Before this, they were sure of one thing, that marriage with the Block Family could indeed bring more benefits, but whether these benefits could last, they were uncertain.
But now, seeing Donnie’s relationship with the llon Family, they have more confidence in Donnie Block.
They know bringing the Block Family to this point was not a smooth journey.
But that doesn’t matter anymore, what’s important is that Donnie Block is indeed very considerate of his allies.
This one point is more than enough!
