About an hour later, Zack called me again. "The police are here. Your funeral is nothing short of dramatic. Seriously… If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have been able to sit there. Kudos for being keeping your cool, Eva."
I chuckled. "I stood up a long time ago. You just didn't see it."
Then, both of us shared a bitter chuckle.
"Did someone clean the mess at the funeral, Zack?"
"Yeah. In the end, the police officers got there, but none of them dared to offend Alisa. She… Well, let's just say she fought as if she were possessed."
I didn't need to hear the rest of it. I had always known that Alisa was a hothead. It was no surprise that she would pick a fight with Leonard over my death.
Truth be told, I was quite worried. Fortunately, Leonard didn't give her trouble in retaliation. Green Group was still able to operate as usual.
With that said, it didn't take a genius to figure out his lack of response. After all, I had just died. If Leonard did anything to the Green family at this juncture, then someone might have dirt over him.
Alisa wasn't just displeased with Leonard. She was also upset with Jack. In her eyes, the dead demanded respect, and their actions were just highly disrespectful.
As a matter of fact, I didn't really care about all that. I just couldn't be bothered to watch Leonard acting as if he loved me deeply. It would just make me feel sick.
"Anyway, Crystal wants you to reach out to her on WhatsApp. After all, you have a lot of estate affairs to deal with."
After Zack reminded me, I recalled that I had authorized Crystal to handle these affairs. Although it might seem a little strange, it actually seemed normal for someone in my condition to have prepared a will.
