The innocent look on Kelly''s face froze. At that moment, a hint of guilt shed across her face as though she had been exposed. "Gabriel, what do you mean?"


    "What do I mean? Kelly, do you take us as fools? I knew your character from the first time Iid eyes on you. You might look helpless and innocent, but deep down, you''re scheming and calctive. You''ve enjoyed putting on a front and lying to people, so I yed along with you. I pretended to believe in you."


    Gabriel''s voice pierced the air. Kelly found it jarring. A hint of anger appeared on her usually innocent-looking face.


    She wondered if he had been lying to her all this time. If he had been, why did he call in Mr. Kane for her yesterday? Since there were people around, it wasn''t appropriate for her to ask.


    However, Gabriel could read her mind just from her expression. Gabriel cast a meaningful look in the direction of the crystal coffin. Even if Kelly was getting suspicious, he couldn''t be the one to reveal the truth to her.


    Kelly followed the direction of his gaze, but she remained confused by why he was looking at Oliver''s coffin. Gabriel had been ying along with her for days, taking her as a fool. The sheer thought of it infuriated her.


    Perhaps Gabriel''s confrontation and the will reading performed by Mr. Kane had boosted Kelly''s confidence, but for some reason, she didn''t feel a need to exin herself.


    "Scheming and calctive? Haha..." She scanned the people in the funeral hall without showing any hint of embarrassment or guilt despite Gabriel''s exposé and the emergence of the video.


    "I get it now. You''re... You''re all in this to hurt me. This is all part of your trick. You want to destroy me with that video and keep me from inheriting the Young family assets.


    "That''s very calctive of you all. Too bad Grandpa wanted me to take charge of the Young family! I shall protect everything on his behalf."


    As long as she denied the allegations and took charge of the Young family, she could clear her name even if the video was leaked to the public.


    She had had her eyes set on the Young family''s astronomical wealth. Now that Oliver was dead, and the will had been read, the Young family''s wealth was in her hands!


    She wanted to keep up her front to retain the loyalty of those working at the Young''s House of Jewels, but that no longer seemed necessary.


    "Gabriel. Since you''re one of the Yoneses, not the Youngs, you have no right to stay here!" Kelly dered arrogantly, as though she was the head of the house.


    But to her surprise, Gabriel did not move an inch. He wore a smirk on his face.


    Frowning, she instructed the butler, "Patrick, throw him out!"


    "But..." Patrick looked troubled.


    He knew he should be taking Kelly''s orders as she was Oliver''s rightful heiress. However, he instinctively nced at Miles. Deep down, he believed that Miles had the most say in Oliver''s absence. His behavior irked Kelly. She barked, "Why are you just standing there? Do you want to be fired? If you do, get out of the Young Estate with Gabriel Yones right now!"


    Now that Kelly had nothing to fear, she slowly revealed her true colors. The slight frown on Oliver''s forehead in the coffin escaped her attention. However, Rose immediately picked up on the subtle change. "Grandpa?" Rose blurted out. She had clearly noticed a frown on Oliver''s forehead. But when she fixed her gaze on him again, she failed to notice anything. Was she delusional?


    While Rose was stuck in a daze, staring at Oliver''s coffin, her sudden calls for Oliver had attracted Kelly''s attention.


    Kelly hated Rose the most among everyone present. Since she did not need to put up a front anymore, she showed no care for her attitude.


    Her attention shifted away from


    Gabriel and Patrick, and she turned to Rose with a snicker. "Ms. Schaffer Grandpa might have taken you in as a granddaughter, but you made it clear you didn''t want


    anything to do with the Young family


    at the hospital that day.


    "Are you here today because you''re foolishly hoping to receive some scraps?" Every single word from Kelly''s mouth wasced with venom.


    Miles immediately chided her, "Kelly Schaffer!". As he did so, Jonathan fixed his icy gaze on her. The two men jumped to Rose''s defense at the same time.


    In the past, Kelly might have behaved. However, she was now full of herself because she thought she was in control of the Young family. In fact, she thought that she could decide whether or not to kick Miles out of the family in the future.


    As for Jonathan... Although the Young family was no match for the Finches, she believed that Jonathan would have to tread carefully around her given her current wealth. The more they defended Rose, the more annoyed Kelly felt.


    On the other hand, Rose did not seem to pay much attention to Kelly, choosing instead to closely observe Oliver, who was still in the coffin.


    Her indifference irritated Kelly. This made Kelly march over and grab Rose''s wrist. Then, she tried to p Rose across the face.


    Frowning, Jonathan rushed forward and pped Kelly''s wrist away. Although Jonathan managed to deflect her attack, her nails nevertheless scratched Rose''s face.


    Rose seethed in pain, but bit her tongue and endured it. She refused to cause a scene at Oliver''s funeral.


    Jonathan was pained by the sight of the bloodied scratch on Rose''s face. Before Kelly had the chance to gloat, Jonathan pped her across the face.


    "Jonathan Finch," Kelly choked out with a scowl on her face.


    At that moment, several bodyguards appeared and pinned her down. She screamed, "Let go of me! Don''t you know who I am? I''m Mr. Young Senior''s granddaughter! Are you deaf or what? Did you not hear Mr. Kane''s will reading just now?"


    Hysterically, she continued, "Grandpa left the Young family assets to me. I''m the head of the household now. Look at yourself in the mirror before you face me off."


    Kelly was yelling and kicking wildly, but the bodyguards did not flinch. She then yelled at the other maids condescendingly, "Why are you watching and doing nothing? Help me out here!"


    The maids, just like Patrick had


    done, instinctively turned to Miles. Had the video not been released, the maids would have readily


    acknowledged Kelly as the heira


    of the Young family. s, the video had greatly discredited Kelly, and they now treated Miles as the pir of the Youngs.


    Infuriated, Kelly growled, "You blind suckers! I''m the heiress of the


    lel


    Young family. Miles Young, when you leave today... No! I will announce


    this asthe head of the family now! From today onward, Miles Young is


    no longer part of this family!"


    Kelly''s voice seemed deafeningly loud in the otherwise silent funeral hall. She looked disheveled but carried herself with the air of a queen who could decide the fates of the people.


    She expected the butler and maids to take her side after she disowned Miles, even if Miles did not beg for mercy. However, she was startled by the sudden voice of an old man. "You have no say here!"
