Stefan nced at Faith. His eyes glinted as he thought of something, but he didn''t say anything else.
After Frances'' and Amelie''s urns were ced together, L didn''t cry. Instead, she touched the tombstone again and again.
The two elders in the picture looked gentle and looked at L with a smile. It was as though they were still alive. Nheless, L knew that they were gone. Otherwise, they would have pulled her into their embrace now.
They wouldfort her gently and say, "L, tell me what''s wrong. I''ll help you fight back."
After the members of the Morgan family sent off the guests, Stefan and Faith prepared to leave.
"Kieran, I heard that something happened to yourpany," Stefan said.
Kieran answered truthfully but didn''t reveal too much, "I encountered some issues. I''m still resolving them."
L wiped the tombstone and listened to the conversation behind her quietly. Amelia and Vince visited for thest two days. They utilized their families'' biggest power to help Morgan Group financially. However, the deficit was too big, and the money couldn''t help much.
L lowered her head and said to herself, "Everything will be better. If Kieran could establish all this alone back then, he could save Morgan Group now."
She believed in him, but at the same time, she felt sorry for him. It was such a heavy burden. If she had to carry the burden, she might not be able to breathe. Stefan nodded. "I''ll think of a way to help you. I''lle again in a few days." The n knew many wealthy families. They could get a lot of resources and money.
Stefan might be willing to help, but the rest might not. Upon thinking of that, Alfredo and the others weren''t hopeful.
But Kieran responded politely, "Thank you, Granduncle Stefan."
Stefan left with Faith. Faith turned around and nced at L, who happened to raise her head. Then, they met each other''s gaze.
Faith smiled and nodded at L before catching up to Stefan. L understood what Faith''s gaze meant. L had, of course, heard of the Moore family of Luxford before.
It was a huge family. Due to some reason several years ago, half of their assets were moved overseas. Even so, the assets left behind were what most wealthy families Could only dream of having.
Aside from knowing why the family was big, L knew about them from listening to the gossip shared by Amelia.
Although the Moore family''s business was huge, the elders in the family were too traditional. In this era, they still discriminate against women.
In the Moore family, only men had the right to inherit the family fortune. Meanwhile, the women were pampered and enjoyed the wealth. Marriage was the only way for them to contribute to the family
Faith advised Stefan to let L lead the funeral procession, which corresponded with the envy that had just shed in her eyes. She saw the respect, fairness, and freedom she longed for, embodied in L.
After the funeral, the members of the Morgan family stayed at the Morgan residence for a day before setting out on their own paths. This was what the two elders had wished for.
On the other hand, L stayed an extra day because Nicole had yet to recover. When L brought medicine upstairs, she overheard Alfredo holding Nicole''s hand and grieving.
"Nicole, you must get better soon. If I hadn''t been so fixated on the market in Zond back then, the Morgan family wouldn''t have fallen into such a predicament. I''ve let Kieran down."
The heavy burden now rested on Kieran alone. Nicole struggled to sit up. With her head down, she didn''t know how to console Alfredo.
They had failed Kieran. L paused for a moment before walking in with the medicine. When the two raised their heads, guilt was written clearly on their faces.
L put down the medicine. "Aunt Nicole, Uncle Alfredo, things happen unexpectedly. No one can predict the future. This isn''t your fault. Kieran won''t me you."
The room fell into a brief silence. Then, L handed over the medicine. "I''ll be heading back to Vermilion Estate tonight. Aunt Nicole, take good care of yourself. Our family..."
She didn''t finish, but Alfredo and Nicole understood what she meant.
