My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1462

A few days later, many people attended Gloria's funeral. Influential figures from all over Jipsburg were present.

The news of her passing had affected Alexander and George so deeply that both men fell ill, spending several days in the hospital. Skylar and Joe shared Gloria's final written words with Alexander and George, messages she had thoughtfully prepared for them before her passing.

Although tensions with Joe ran high and internal disputes plagued the Martin Group, the Martin family still made a public appearance at the funeral, aware of the media's scrutiny.

Gloria's death was a heavy blow for both Skylar and Joe. Even now, their eyes remained swollen from crying.

Janine and the others stood nearby, looking worriedly at their grieving state. They couldn't help but let out a sigh. No one could have imagined that someone as kind as Gloria would leave so soon.

The three of them could dine together freely without worrying about being noticed. Without her streaming makeup, Muriel looked completely different. Barefaced, she could easily pass for a regular college student.

They chose a Wiscadian restaurant, where the atmosphere was quiet and refined, perfect for relaxed conversation.
