The following day, Laverne's funeral was held as planned.
The hearse carrying her body made its way to the largest cemetery in Stonebridge City. The funeral director explained the details of the burial to Marguerite and Yuna, who then stood at the entrance to welcome the mourners.
There weren't many people. Most of them were friends of Marguerite and Frederick.
Marguerite was dressed in a white dress, a stark contrast to Yuna's somber black attire.
Upon seeing Marguerite, Yuna was immediately annoyed. She approached Marguerite ghostlike and said sarcastically, "You dress up so brightly for a funeral? You really have no heart, Marguerite. Laverne's gone and I bet you're happier than anyone else. Don't think I don't know you've always seen Laverne as a burden."
Marguerite didn't want to argue with Yuna at her grandmother's funeral. She didn't even look at her and continued to greet the guests.
Yuna scoffed and thought about the date she expected from her beloved Freddie tonight. She wanted to show off this sacred moment to Marguerite.
However, she had checked the place for the past few nights. All the tables and chairs in the restaurant had been cleared, leaving only a small round table on the terrace.
The location had a great view overlooking the whole of Stonebridge City. Freddie would certainly not want such a romantic atmosphere to be disturbed.
But she had to show off to Marguerite. She wanted Marguerite to know that in front of Freddie, she was just a clown!
Thinking about it, Yuna raised her chin high. "You know, Marguerite, Freddie is going to confess his love to me today. Oh, Marguerite, with Laverne gone, your happy days are over!"
At last, Marguerite turned to look at her, her eyes sharp and warning, "Does Frederick know you're talking like this at your grandmother's funeral?"
"What do you mean?" Yuna was taken aback.
