Chapter 426 - Notice（1）

At ten past six in the morning, Emily woke up on the hospital bed. She looked back at the man on the bed, kissed him on his face, and then gently walked out of the ward door.

The car of the funeral home would arrive at nine o'clock and set out from the hospital. As she went out, Harold handed over a set of black clothes and a coat. She turned to look without a word and took the clothes in her arms.

Before entering the bathroom, she passed by the morgue and saw Elsie. Elsie sat on the floor with one hand firmly holding Maury's cold and stiff hand. Susan and the butler stayed next to her. They had not slept all night.

"They came at ten last night. The doctor refused to let them in.... So they sneaked in." Harold explained in a low voice.

Susan and the butler asked Emily to bring Mr. Maury home for a wake. Emily did not agree. She should go to the company to deal with the acquisition of the Britt Group today. She still had a fight now. She had neither energy nor time for a wake for her father to confess to him, and grapple with those relatives. The only thing she could do was to manage to deal with who had hurt him.

Including Elsie.

Matthew fell ill after receiving the news last night. Maury was the son he felt most proud with. The death of Maury was probably the last straw that completely crushed Matthew except for the fact that Eliot wasn't his grandson. When he fainted, he still murmured Maury's nickname as if he wanted to say something.

It was the first time Emily had dealt with the death of a family member. She had to cancel his account, sign a death certificate, contact the funeral home, select a cemetery, and listen to his will.

She clearly knew the things that she should do as time went by. Sometimes something else would occur to her.

Was Eliot out of danger?

However, she only had time to send a text message to Sydnee and asked about Eliot. Then she had to hurriedly deal with the next things. She could not stop, for if she stopped, she would feel pain and regret.

After she changed her clothes and came out, others also came out from the morgue. Harold bought breakfast and delivered them to everyone. The others did not move, only Emily had buns and soybean milk while walking.

Susan and the butler used to think she was still stupid. But Emily acted so strangely yesterday, and her face was cold and stiff. This, together with her tone, made Susan and the butler afraid.

However, when she handled all the issues concerning Maury's death last night, she acted orderly like a normal person. Susan and the housekeeper didn't know if they should be happy or sad.

Maury ... didn't even know that Emily already recovered until he died.

Emily finished buns and handed the rest to Harold, nudging him.

Harold understood her meaning and took the buns into the ward.

Susan and the butler had met the one in the ward. It was the Vincent Scavos. Rumor had it that he was cold that people could not approach him easily. But last night, he stayed in the ward with Emily for a whole night.

Probably because of Maury's death, they felt less surprised for things that they should have been shocked about. Thus, seeing what Emily and Vincent had done, they were not so emotional. They only slightly opened their mouths in surprise for a moment, and then pursed their lips immediately and continued to stare in a daze.

The butler had served Maury for the longest time. They were the master and servant, and also friends. Now that his old friend had died, the butler felt a sense of helplessness and sadness.

Only the Britts knew that Eliot was not his biological son. So the butler wouldn't ask Eliot to come back after Maury's death. But since Elsie had caused Maury's death, he didn't send Elsie to the police station just because Elsie was Maury's daughter. But he would not work for her for sure. As for the other daughter... It was known that Emily had the intelligence of a seven-year-old. The girl that supposed to have the intelligence of a seven years old called a lawyer over yesterday and gathered everyone in a room to testify. Afterward, she apathetically and rigorously announced Maury's will.

When a girl with the intelligence of a seven-year-old was informed of her father's death, she should have cried loudly. He couldn't understand why Emily acted so normal and was also able to announce the will calmly.

He couldn't help but worry that Emily would become someone cold and heartless. He even thought that it would be better for her to be that foolish girl again.

Because this Emily made him feel scared.

Although Susan worked for Maury for a short time, since the emotional middle-aged woman had done a lot for this family and had spent quite some time with them, she was particularly worried about Emily. She was worried that she would be bullied by Elsie. Although Emily acted like someone else yesterday, which had scared her, she knew that Emily had been heavily bullied. Someone who was bullied for a long time resisted because she would not stand it any longer.

She wanted to accompany Emily through the difficulty. So after the will was announced yesterday, she requested to stay. She still remembered that Emily indifferently turned around and gazed at her emotionlessly. And she said,

"Whatever."

She suddenly became indifferent and cruel, which made Susan so sad. She just turned 18 this year, but her father had turned into a cold corpse before he had time to celebrate her adulthood ceremony.

It was like a shell with which she could protect herself. That shell was covered with thorns. That was the way she protected herself. Susan did not feel hurt, but she did feel endless sadness for her.

She even had an absurd idea that it would be good if Emily's biological mother showed up and took her away. Then she would definitely become an innocent girl with naive smiling again.

"Change your clothes and follow me," Emily spoke to Susan and the butler before she walked into the morgue. She still had something to say to her father.

Susan and the butler nodded, then pulled Elsie, who fainted away after crying.

The Britt Group held a shareholders' meeting at nine in the morning. Matthew was unconscious in bed. Maury died of a sudden brain infarction last night. His only son Eliot was in a coma after he fell from a building in the remote Town South. His mother Beverly was imprisoned in a women's prison for tax evasion. Only Elsie was able to shoulder the responsibility.

Of course, the shareholders knew that the Britts had a little daughter. But they only knew that she was a retard and they didn't even know her name.

The shareholders' meeting today was to announce that the Granding Group purchased the Britt Group on the day. The purchase contract was stamped with Maury's private seal and official seal. All shareholders had witnessed.. After all, Maury had even stamped the contract with his official seal.
