A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 203

“How could you be so blatant? Aren’t you afraid that Leigh might be jealous?” Lily jokes.

“I am pissed at him first!” Jessie snorts, “Knowing that we are friends, yet he kept Louis’s conspiracy a secret! He should’ve told us.”

“After all, President Smith is his buddy.” Lily purses her lips and says, “Go to the company tomorrow and find out when Jason Smith’s funeral will be, Jessie.”

Jessie nods.

After all, Jason belongs to the Smiths. News of his death spreads around that night and many media rushes to the hospital. But none of them knows how he died.

“I thought he was a jerk, but I didn’t expect…” Jessie says.

The pain in Lily’s heart is overwhelming.

Jason doesn’t have to protect her from the shot, obviously. Nothing would happen if he didn’t do it.

This favor could never be paid off.

Jessie says that she asked for a day-off and will accompany Lily. It comforts Lily but she doesn’t feel like going home. So now she is staying at Daisy, her mom’s temporarily.

Lily occasionally sees news about the Smiths when she is doing the research.

After Olivia Smith takes over the Smith Group, the stocks become stable. But all kinds of negativity are weighing on the Smiths. Everything is disrupted, in addition to the entire group are laying off many staffs.

Lily sneers.

After learning the truth, she knows how powerful Louis is. Now that he must be plotting something because he quits after letting Olivia be in charge of the Smith Group.

As for what he wants to do, she doesn’t want to know.

Jessie texted Lily that Jason will be buried at the Smiths’ cemetery the day after tomorrow. All the Smith staffs can also attend the funeral to express their condolences.

The day after tomorrow?

Lily stares at the pair of white pearl earrings in her palm. The pearls are round, delicate and very beautiful. She can’t help crying when she thinks of Jason dying in her arms.

Early in the funeral morning, Lily puts on a black skirt and black gauze hat, which add solemnity to her aura.

She sees Coffey waiting there after going downstairs.

“I will go with you, Lily.” He is also in black, “I want to thank him.”

“Ok.”

The Smiths’ cemetery is in the suburbs. It takes two and a half hours to drive there. The cemetery is very large and was bought by the ancestors of the family fifty years ago. They hope that the entire family would be buried together.

After getting there by car, Lily sees that many cars already had been parked in the open-air parking lot.

Lily peaks at a Pagani while pressing her lips and entering the cemetery with Coffey. She can see many people standing there from a distance.

“Jason, my boy…”

After walking closer, Lily sees Janet, who is in distress, and looks very haggard. She keeps watching Jason's tombstone while crying. There is someone nearby comforting her.

"Lily." Jessie runs over and whispers, "I don't think you should have come. Those who are here today are from the Smith family. Look at Jason’s mother."

"Jason died because of me, how can I not come?" Lily says.

Jessie sighs.

Lily walks into the crowd and sees Louis. He is sitting in a wheelchair in a black suit, with no expression on his face. As if he could feel her sight, he turns his head and looks over and meets Lily's gaze.

When he sees Lily, his eyes move and change.

There seems to be a sense of guilt.

Lily sneers, and quickly looks away. After the people in front of her finishes mourning, she walks up and puts the white chrysanthemum in her hand in front of the tombstone.

The man on the tombstone has gentle eyes, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as if he’s smiling at Lily.

“I am sorry.” She strokes the tombstone and murmurs.

She and Jason may have different goals in their marriage, but he treats her very well during the year of marriage. Except that they were too hostile towards each other when they got divorced, they never quarreled.

Because of her, his life stops at twenty-five years old.

Sorry.

If there is a reincarnation, I will wear a wedding dress, marry you gracefully, and love you exclusively.

I will avenge you, Jason.

“What are you doing here, Lily?” Katherine recognizes Lily right away and scolds, “Jason is lying six feet under of the ground because of you. He doesn’t need your condolences. Get out of here!”

Janet, who is at the point of fainting, looks over after hearing Katherine’s words.

When she sees Lily mourning, her gaze gradually turns into hatred. She pushes away the person who is supporting her, and rushes to Lily.

"Give my son back!" Janet pinches Lily’s neck and shakes fiercely. "Give my son back!" She screams like a lunatic.

"You bitch, why you didn’t die!" She cries bitterly and angrily, "What the hell does my son owe you? He is only twenty-five years old!"

“Please go to hell. Just bring my son back to life!”

Janet’s hands are very strong, and Lily's face turns purple. Lily doesn’t resist although she could hardly breathe.

Louis frowns. As he wants to let Leigh Lewis interfere, Coffey already rushes out. He pulls Janet away, and protects Lily by hiding her behind.

“I'm sorry, but my sister is also a victim of this incident.” Coffey says calmly.

“She killed my son. What kind of victim is she?” Janet leans forward, while tugging and beating Coffey, scratching a few marks on his face. “I want her to pay for my son's life!”

Chloe is anxious and she wants to step in.

Justin quickly presses her shoulders and whispers. “You shouldn't go. Let Louis solve it by himself. See if he dares to offend another woman in the future.”

“The old woman scratched my boyfriend's face.” Chloe grits her teeth, “That crossed the line. I never scratch his face even when I quarreled with him!”

“You are such a sophisticated woman, Ms. Lily.” Katherine sneers in a sarcastic tone on purpose, “Two men from the Smith family are fascinated by you!”

“I heard about the car accident. Louis blocked a fatal wound for you and lost his legs. And now, Jason is dead because of you. I really don't know if you have brought bad luck to the family.”

It seems something just hits Janet, and she points at Lily and curses. “A few months ago, I found you couldn’t take your eyes off Louis at the one-month birthday party of Susan's son.”

“Well, well. Aren’t you a gold-digger?”

“How did my son treat you wrong? How could you do that to him and kill him?”

“A flirty woman like you should be tortured a hundred times and it won’t be too much! What kind of family had raised a scheming daughter like you?”

Lily’s lips tremble but she doesn’t say anything.

It is all her fault. No matter what Janet curses, she couldn't explain.

“That’s enough.” Coffey can’t hold back anymore, “You could be angry but stop insulting my sister.”

“When did I insult her? They were all facts!” Janet sneers. “Getting pregnant before going official with Louis... Going to the Smith’s and showing off prestige? Isn’t that a scheme?”

“If my own daughter was like this, I would’ve beaten her to death!”

Coffey squeezes his fist.
