She choked with sobs.

The Thompsons spared no expense on Linny’s funeral, offering the
very best in everything as a final act of respect.
A multitude of wreaths were laid for Linny, tributes from industry
heavyweight’s like the Thompsons, Salvadors, and Hoffmans, whose

“Iverson sure is cunning.”
Standing at the door, Axel looked at the wreath from the Iversons and
taunted, “The wreath is hard to miss. People might think it’s a funeral
for the Iversons.
“Get someone to move the wreath to the back. It's blocking ours.”
Asher patted his shoulder and shook his head. “Just leave it. Even if
the oversized wreath is intentional, at least they mean well. Don’t

Today, Asher, Axel, Ralph, and Drew were present at the funeral. Eve
Steven was in attendance, wheeled in by Amelia.
When Amelia found out about Steven's injuries, she rushed to the hospital and cried all over him.
She took a leave of absence from school and stayed by Steven's side, caring for him, feeding him, cleaning him,
and taking him to the
bathroom. She acted like a devoted wife.

catches you running around.”
Steven's eyes filled with sadness. “Linny is Ms. Bella's savior, and
that speaks a lot to me. | should attend her funeral even if | have to
crawl my way here.”
Axel approached and looked at Amelia with a pout. “Honestly, Amelia.

Red in the face, Amelia said shyly, “It’s out of my hands.”
“Oh, that won't do.”
Drew cover, shaking his head, and joined the teasing. “The Thompson girls should be able to handle any
man or situation wi
ease and confidence.
“Don’t you think so, Mr. Lovett?”
