Betrayed by Four: Reborn, Their Rival Mafia Lord Became My Husband - Chapter 697: Chapter 697

"What is it?" Esther looked at him.
Hurley did not know what to say. Life was too cruel to his grandmother.
"Eddie, he... he did plan to leave the country today, and he wanted to take Jake with him without our approval, but there was a car accident on the way to the airport, and he..."
Grandma's expression stiffened, and her pupils widened.
Hurley continued, "He died on the spot."
The old lady was even more stunned, "He... he..."
"Grandma, Grandma, don't worry, I know this news is very serious for you, but no one could have thought of it. Grandma, you must take good care of yourself."
It took a while for Esther to react, tears already covered her face, "What about Jake? Is Jake okay?"
Grandma's first concern was not her own son, but Jake.
Jake was much more important to her than Eddie.
"He's fine, he's fine now."
Esther got up and was about to leave, "I want to see Jake, I want to see Jake."
Sophie and Hurley took their grandmother to Jake's ward, and Jake was in the company of the other three kids.
Stephen and Jake were the most at odds with each other before, and now he was particularly anxious, worried if Jake was okay.
Thinking of Stephen's identity, the death of Stephen's parents was all related to Eddie. It was better not to tell Stephen about this matter.
Sometimes, knowing nothing can make you happier.
The old lady just took a look from outside to make sure Jake was okay, standing there, she felt relieved.
She didn't go in, and Sophie asked, "Aren't you going in?"
The old lady shook her head, "It's already late, let's not disturb him."
She looked at Hurley and asked, "When is his funeral?"
Esther was much stronger than Hurley had imagined. Hurley said, "As soon as possible."
The old lady nodded, "Take me back to my ward."
After Sophie and Hurley took the old lady back to her ward, the old lady asked them to go back. She wanted to be alone.
Sophie pulled Hurley out first, and then arranged for people to pay attention to her mood.
Sophie was still at the hospital, she didn't dare to leave, afraid that something might happen.
In the ward, the old lady silently shed tears.
She did not even see Eddie's last face. After all, he was her son.
If she had known, she would not have given birth to this son, and perhaps these things would not have happened.
Fortunately, Jake was fine. If something bad happened to Jake, she would probably not be able to hold on anymore.
Perhaps that was fate. She had previously felt that Eddie would one day die from his actions, and as expected, it happened that way.
The old lady couldn't sleep all night, and Hurley and Sophie hardly rested either.
Hurley still had to make some arrangements for Eddie's funeral, and the next few days would be very busy for him.
Eddie's remaining body parts were cremated, and a cemetery was chosen by Hurley.
Not many shareholders came to express their condolences. Benedict also heard about it. He was still detained, and he could only be released on bail because of the death of his relative.
In such a short period of time, no one expected so much to happen.
The funeral arrangements were not grand, and the old lady was very quiet. Looking at the black and white photo of Eddie, she was silent for a long time without saying anything.
The old lady also watched the video of the car accident. It was Eddie's fault for driving so fast.
And even though there was a child in the car, he did not care about the child's life, and the other people who were injured because of him were innocently implicated.
If it weren't for Sophie's help at the time, organizing passers-by to rescue the other people involved in the car accident, this accident would have cost a lot of lives.
Benedict walked over and saw the old lady where she was sitting. Although he knew that she was not his biological mother, he still had some feelings for her after calling him Mom for so many years.
He walked over and called out, "Mom."
"I wanted to come see you before, but I couldn't come. Please... Don't blame me."
Although Benedict wanted the company, he still had some humanity. At that point, the company had collapsed, and Eddie had died. After being detained for so many days, those ambitions were all worn out.
"I don't blame you." The old lady said, "But don't be stubborn. What should be yours will always be yours."
Although Benedict hasn't been sentenced yet, it will take a few years for him to come out. Hurley had now re-established the company, and all the money from the corresponding shares will be given to these shareholders.
But that also meant that he bought Walton Corporation and completely turned it into his own company.
It doesn't matter if those shareholders don't agree. Anyway, Walton Corporation won't have much left if it continues like that. It will eventually go bankrupt. If it's sold to Hurley now, they can still make a lot of money.
Benedict looked at Hurley standing a few distance away, then he walked over and said, "Hurley."
"Second Uncle." Hurley also called out.
No matter what, Benedict was still his second Uncle.
"Help me take care of your little sister, Stella."
Hurley said, "She can come to me if she needs anything."
"Thank you." Eddie had limited time and quickly left.
And there was no Eddie in the world anymore.
For Eddie's funeral, Nick and Jack came.
Both of them had also heard about what happened, so they could only say that Eddie really deserved to die. Fortunately, Sophie and Jake were lucky.
Hurley was busy, and Sophie happened to walk up to Nick. Nick looked at her incredulously, "You are so lucky, you are really lucky. Everywhere exploded, and you, sister-in-law, ended up being okay. That's great."
Sophie said, "I think so too, but the pendant Hurley gave me got broken."
Nick said, "It seems that this is really a bit mysterious. Could it be that it really prevents disasters? It was really worthy of Hurley's daily efforts to pray for your safety."
Sophie, "?"
What does he mean?
"The pendant, how long has he been praying on it?" Sophie didn't even know about this.
What Hurley said was, once one asks, they will get it.
"Huh? This... I..." Nick suddenly panicked.
Looking at Sophie's curiosity, it seemed like she didn't know about it.
He thought that Sophie knew about it. If he spilled the beans, Hurley wouldn't blame him, right?
"What? Can't it be said?" Sophie looked at him hesitating.
Nick said, "There's nothing that can't be said. After he said he wanted to marry you, you said you wanted to settle for a good date. Then he went to find a good date, but the fortune tellers said that there was still a disaster coming between you two. Then he went to a praying centre that is very popular around there, but far away."
"He went there for more than a month. He went every day, and he was extremely sincere. Then, he asked for the pendant. But now, it seems that his hard work was not in vain."
After hearing this, Sophie was stunned. She thought that Hurley suddenly went to ask, but Hurley actually went there for more than a month.
She asked why Hurley went out every day, thinking that Hurley was very busy with work, but she didn't expect him...
