His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 521

There was an unspoken rule in Jadeborough.

When a family member of a younger generation passed away, the funeral should not be too grand. Otherwise, it would bring bad luck to the elder generation of the family.

Due to that reason, Henrick did not place any wreaths at the funeral except in the backyard. Hence, the manor appeared no different from usual.

With Marcus beside him, Donovan started studying the Southall residence once they stepped in.

They did not see any signs that showed there was an ongoing funeral. All they saw was a row of luxury cars parked in the parking area.

Hence, Donovan was even more certain that Arielle was lying.

Before they arrived at the backyard, Donovan said, “Mr. Brown, do you see this? Does this look like a funeral? Arielle is lying! I need you to remove her from my class right away!”

Marcus' expression turned grim. Did Arielle lie just to apply for leave? Even going so far as to say a family member passed away? If that's true... I'll have to remove her from the preparatory class.

When Donovan noticed that Marcus' face had darkened, the corners of his lips lifted.

I knew it! I knew that Arielle was lying! I finally got her!

A housekeeper was leading the way ahead of them. She did not hear their conversation at all.

When they were about to enter the backyard, the housekeeper came to halt and made a gesture for them to go ahead. “Please continue forward. Ms. Arielle is in the backyard.”

Marcus lowered his head to look at the bouquet in his hands. He was about to dump it into the dustbin at the side when the housekeeper called out, “Ms. Arielle!”

Marcus instantly paused before he and Donovan lifted their heads.
