Chapter 963: The Piers’ Condolences
After Cheyenne heard what Lucas said, astonishnt erged on her face.
In almost everyone’s eyes, the eight giants of DC were untouchable, yet Lucas could face them calmly and even disregard them.
Given Cheyenne’s understanding of Lucas, she knew that he would never talk big, which was enough to show that he was even more powerful than the top eight families of DC!
Cheyenne suddenly found that her husband seed to have beco more mysterious.
“Where’s Alia?” Lucas suddenly asked, changing the topic.
Cheyenne said, “When I left this morning, she was still sleeping. But I’ve asked Dad and Charlotte to stay ho with her today and buy her so delicious food.”
Lucas shook his head and sighed. “Yeah, I broke my promise with her. I promised to take her out for a good al today, but I couldn’t go back today. I hope she won’t bla for not keeping my promise!”
Alia was now over five years old, and she was extrely smart. Sotis, the adults found it hard to deal with her!
“That depends on how you coax her when we get back ho. Alia is quite sensible, so she probably won’t bla you,” Cheyenne said.
On the way, Lucas also ntioned to Cheyenne so things that he didn’t get to tell her over the phone yesterday. For example, the fact that Florence had beco the new helmsman of the Howards.
Cheyenne was surprised, but Lucas didn’t tell her the details or ntion anything about the Peerless Martial Association. All he said to her was that Felix had acknowledged Florence’s position as the helmsman before he died.
Cheyenne was silent for a mont.
Florence was her biological mother, but they had yet to reconcile.
Cheyenne couldn’t even decide what kind of attitude she should treat Florence with.
But no matter what, Cheyenne had co to DC this ti to attend Felix’s funeral.
Felix was her grandfather, whom she had never t and had never spent ti with before. She felt sad after learning of his death.
Moreover, Felix was Florence’s father, so she reckoned that Florence must feel miserable...
Cheyenne gritted her teeth as she thought about it. For a while, she didn’t know how she should face Florence.
Lucas stretched out his hand and squeezed Cheyenne’s palm to comfort her silently.
About an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the Howards’ manor in DC.
At this mont, there were nurous white wreaths at the entrance of the manor. They were clearly holding a funeral.
When Cheyenne saw this scene, her heart sank and felt even sadder.
Lucas took Cheyenne’s hand and led her inside.
The funeral hall was in the first villa of the Howard residence.
When Cheyenne followed Lucas inside, Florence turned her head and imdiately burst into tears the mont she saw Cheyenne. She hurried over and hugged Cheyenne tightly.
“Cheyenne! Cheyenne... It’s all my fault! I... I’m not a good mother. I’ve really let you down...” Florence embraced Cheyenne tightly, as if she was hugging the last trace of warmth in this world. She was bawling so hard that she was running out of breath.
Ever since Florence was on the verge of death yesterday and figured out that the person she owed the most in her life was her daughter, she had desperately wanted to see Cheyenne.
After Felix suddenly passed away from a terminal illness, she was in an even more sorrowful mood.
1
She had always thought she hated her father for killing her lover and ruining her life completely. But the mont she learned of his death, she was still grief-stricken.
Her father was gone forever!
At that mont, Florence even felt so remorse.
Although Felix had died because of the sudden rupture of a cerebral artery, Florence knew that Felix might not have died if so many things hadn’t happened yesterday and if she hadn’t forced Felix to step down from his position.
The only blood relative she had left was her daughter!
Florence hugged Cheyenne tightly, not wanting to let go for a mont.
After the initial shock, Cheyenne looked at her mother, who was hugging her and weeping bitterly. She couldn’t help feeling grief-stricken. She opened her arms and hugged her as tears stread down her eyes too.
The other Howards felt a little sour when they saw Florence and Cheyenne crying in each other’s arms, and the sounds of crying beca louder in the hall.
But at this mont, a servant of the Howards suddenly ca and said loudly, “Mr. Conrad Pier is here with his family to pay respects!”
It was normal for the other families in DC to co and pay their respects to the Howards since they were holding a funeral.
But upon hearing the na of the Piers’ forr helmsman, the Howards seed surprised.
The forr helmsman of the Piers, Conrad, was about the sa age as Felix, and the two used to be old friends. But due to so conflicts, they grew distant from each other.
.
Moreover, Felix had been staying in the position of helmsman and had been in full control of the Howards, unlike Conrad, who had already handed over his position to his son over a decade ago and stepped down from the pinnacle of power. He spent his ti with his family and grandchildren afterward.
The Howards didn’t expect that Conrad would suddenly co to the Howards’ to offer his condolences in person.
Due to Conrad’s noble status, the Howards sent two of their direct descendants to welco him personally.
Soon, an old man with white hair wearing a black suit entered with the help of a junior.
Lucas glanced at Conrad before looking at the junior next to him with a trace of surprise, then he frowned.
It was because the junior helping him was Adam, who had tried to make a move on Cheyenne at the airport earlier.
It seed that Adam had a high status in the Pier family, and he was highly likely to be Conrad’s favored grandson. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be supporting Conrad and standing next to him at the mont.
The expression on Cheyenne’s face imdiately changed the mont she saw Adam, and she subconsciously clutched Lucas’s sleeve tightly.
She didn’t expect that Adam would suddenly co to the Howard residence.
What if he pursued the matter at the airport and caused a commotion?
