Arabella moved forward, helping Grandma Stacy up, and said to her, âGrandma Stacy, take care of yourself.â
Even though Arabella was the one hurting the most, as the main person in charge of the funeral, she had to comfort all the guests.
âArabella, I am so heartbroken. Your Grandma just called me not long ago, saying that after her surgery and recovery, she would come to see me.â Grandma Stacy sobbed uncontrollably, âHow could this happen?â
âGrandma Stacy, the floor is cold; get up first.â Arabella tried to help her up, but Grandma Stacy was too distraught to stand.
Arabella held tightly onto Grandma Stacyâs wrist and, observing her complexion, realized that she was extremely weak.
âShe told me that her husband had come to get her, and she had no regrets in her life.â
Grandma Stacy continued to sit on the floor crying; Arabella could only gently comfort her, waiting for her to recover a bit before helping her sit in a nearby chair.
The funeral venue was decorated in black and white, appearing very solemn.
Many of those who came to the funeral noticed that Arabella had grown up. She greeted the guests like a mature adult, and despite the sadness in her eyes, she seemed capable of handling everything on her own.
Despite being only eighteen, Arabella was the most composed person on the scene.
After a while, Alberto Rollins arrived. In just a day, his hair had turned completely white, and he looked lifeless.
His expression was full of sorrow, and the light had gone out of his eyes. An assistant supported him, and he walked into the cemetery with a cane, looking like a walking corpse.
Arabella could feel his sorrow, so she gently put her hand on his arm. He nodded in response and was helped inside.
By ten oâclock, everyone had arrived. Arabella first announced that Attlee was not Graceâs biological son, which shocked all the guests.
The reason Arabella made this announcement was, on the one hand, that she hoped Grace would know that it wasnât because she wasnât a good parent but rather because Attlee wasnât her biological son, hence he naturally didnât possess the traits of the Murphy family.
On the other hand, it was to let all the friends and relatives of the Murphy family know that they didnât need to treat Attlee as one of them.
Next, Arabella announced the fact that Grace had been brutally treated by Olga, leading to her death, and the persecution Attlee and Olga had imposed on those around Grace. Arabella expressed these facts clearly and concisely, shocking all the guests once again.
Some of the guests had attended the engagement party the day before and had seen the video of Olga bullying Grace, so they told their friends and relatives about it.
After hearing this, people were red in the face with anger!
Finally, Arabella succinctly recounted Graceâs life and in front of everyone, had Grace placed in the coffin for burial.
The sound of sobbing filled the air again, seemingly expressing their reluctance to let go.
As the coffin was sealed, the crying became louder, gradually turning into mournful wails.
Grandma Stacy cried so hard that she nearly fainted several times.
Arabella led the crowd, watching the coffin being lowered into the grave.
She stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said earnestly, âGrandma, donât worry; I will stay strong and live on.â
The crying behind Arabella grew louder and louder.
Images of happy moments with her grandma flashed through Arabellaâs mind.
However, despite her overwhelming sorrow, she didnât shed a single tear.
After the tombstone was erected, Arabella and all the guests bowed to Grace.
