Chapter 114
I didn’t expect Quinn to come, nor did I expect York to rush forward and question him the moment he appeared. “Quinn, how dare you come so shamelessly!”
respect. Quinn didn’t mind York’s targeting.
“Grandmother has passed away. Logically speaking. I should come and pay He straightened his black suit and wanted to bypass York to pay respects to Mary.
However, York blocked his way. He sneered sharply. “What you said has a double meaning. If it weren’t for you, why would Grandma suddenly have a heart attack and die?”
“York. I’m not the only one who visited Mary that day. I’m not the only one who knows about the Smith family’s private matters either,” Quinn retorted.
I heard these words clearly and was stunned on the spot.
That was right. York, Quinn, and Aiden were the ones who visited Mary that day. However, other than Aiden, the other two knew that Ben had cheated on Bernie.
Quinn was targeting York. How was this possible? Although York and I didn’t have a good relationship. York’s feelings for Mary were obvious….
“Quinn, what nonsense are you talking about? I did go to visit Grandma that day, but I wouldn’t have said that to her!” York retorted angrily. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and cursed. He clenched his fists and punched Quinn.
The scene was chaotic. The relatives and friends who had rushed over to pay their respects exclaimed. Some even took out their phones, wanting to record this rare scene.
I immediately stepped forward to stop them. “Stop!”
York grabbed Quinn’s suit and tore off the cufflinks of his white shirt. When he clenched his fists and punched Quinn, Quinn easily dodged.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged three to four moves. While defending himself, Quinn’s fist hit York. The muffled sound of his fist hitting flesh made my heart tremble.
York groaned in pain.
Someone had called Shirley who was guarding the coffin. Shirley whose face was pale, came in a hurry and knocked over a flower basket on the side.
The white calla lilies and white chrysanthemums were knocked to the floor. Shirley walked over while stepping on the flower petals.
“Quinn!” Shirley stared at Quinn with a sullen expression. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the injured York–and- said slowly, “You’re not welcome here. Please leave, Mr. Madden
I gripped Quinn’s wrist to prevent him from acting rashly again
Shirley was obviously angry. Moreover, there were many guests around. Anyone who saw this scene would make wild guesses.
Once Ben’s affair was exposed, Mary’s death due to the family scandal would be conclusive.
At that time, both Quinn and York would be criticized. On the other hand, Ben, the culprit, would escape unscathed.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, I begged Quinn in a low voice, “Quinn, could you go back first?”
17:54 Sat, Dec 21GB.
Chapter 11
“Okay” Quinn looked at York with a fierce expression and nodded in agreement.
Before he left, he tidied up his messy clothes and respectfully bowed to Mary’s photo.
The atmosphere was cold and solemn. York supported Shirley and watched coldly from the side.
I took the initiative to send Quinn out of the mourning hall.
“Quinn. I hope you can understand how my mother and York are feeling now,” I explained softly.
Quinn shook his head and looked at me. “I’m not angry. I’m just worried about you and your mother.”
Worried about me and Shirley? I was instantly stunned. It took me a while to react.
“Are you still suspecting that Mary’s death is related to York?” I asked Quinn.
He nodded. “Yes. Other than me, York also met Mary that day.”
I was stunned for a moment before I smiled bitterly. “Although I don’t like York either, he has no reason to harm Grandma. I know very well how close he and Grandma are.”
“Is that so?” Quinn said with a deep gaze, “But you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
I couldn’t accept his doubts about York. The only person who knew the truth now was probably Aiden.
Thinking of Aiden, I went straight to the point and asked Quinn, Why did you go to the care home to look for Aiden that _day?”
Quinn’s expression was a little gloomy. He looked at me with a sharp gaze. “Are you asking me why I went to the nursing home to look for Aiden?”
The corners of his mouth tightened. He was silent for a few seconds before saying “You were the one who hid your meeting with Aiden first. You met him when you went to the care home, right? But you didn’t mention a word. Even when I asked tactfully, you avoided talking about it.”
In fact, I was also in the wrong. Just as I was thinking about how to explain, Quinn said, “Aiden was the one who called me that day to ask me to meet him at the care home.”
“What? Did he ask you out?” I was shocked.
Quinn nodded. “I was surprised when Aiden contacted me.”
Before he could finish speaking, a few more cars drove in from the entrance of the funeral parlor. They were guests who had come to pay their respects.
1 knew very well that Mary’s funeral still needed to be dealt with There were some things that I could only ask Quint when I got
back. “Go home first. We’ll discuss this when Grandma’s funeral is over.
“Alright, take care of yourself too.” Quinn’s expression softened. He raised his hand to help me tidy up my hair that was messed up by the wind and patted my shoulder. “I’ll wait for you to go home.”
After sending off Quinn, I composed myself and returned to the funeral home.
Mary was also from a wealthy family. Now that she had passed away, many friends came one after another. As Shirley’s son and daughter, York and I naturally had to receive them carefully
However, York’s face was injured. Quinn didn’t show any mercy The bruises on York’s face were very obvious.
While Ben was entertaining the guests, I went to the corner to get the first aid kit. I wanted to help York treat the wound on
