Chapter 466 Let's Go Home
Interment Day
At the church after the funeral mass, John had announced that he would only allow his relatives, closest friends, company executives, and business partners to enter the cemetery. So, the media will block at the gate.
To proceed with the program that day, John hosted the Memorial service of his father and twin brother at a private land for the Jackson family mausoleum. With no troubles, the internment went smoothly with a solemn atmosphere.
John stood near the two coffins with Ivy in his arms.
Ivy has been crying every day, and it worries John. She was constantly losing consciousness, and the doctor warned her to relax. She was experiencing an emotional breakdown that would risk her pregnancy.
John stroked Ivy's back and did his best to comfort her. Of course, she is the woman John was in love with.
On the corner, wearing an elegant fitted black dress and black sunglasses on her eyes, Carmen held tight to her purse to suppress the pain in her heart.
Before she and John were in a relationship, Carmen had accepted that there was another woman in his heart. She could not avoid feeling jealous and heartbroken, but her sympathy was for Ivy, who was losing her love.
"Ivy, you must calm down. Come and take a seat." Carmen still did her role as an understanding girlfriend. She took Ivy from John's arms and guided her to a nearby chair.
Carmen gestured to a servant to bring a water bottle, and she offered it to Ivy.
Ivy's mother, Mrs. Mills, also approached them to cheer for her daughter. Carmen left them to have a moment of privacy. She walked toward John, who was in a trance while staring at the two coffins.
"Hey... Do you need anything?" Carmen places both of her hands on John's shoulder. Her thumb caressed his cheek, and the other hand played with his ear.
John lifted his head and looked at the lovely woman in front of him. He shook his head and kissed her forehead.
"Let's go home," John announced afterward. He took Carmen's hand and led her toward the car.
After attending the funeral, Jacob, Vincent, Shun, and their company were picked up by helicopters and brought to Hailee's superyacht. They were heading to West Australia; they would board the helicopters again to Dream City.
In the room that stands as the study room, the men occupied the couches. While having private talks, dinner was served.
"Now that John buried his father and brother. Maybe he can proceed in gathering information regarding Samuel Miller." Shun brought up the subject while having the meal.
"Ahem! I need to visit the headquarters. I'll be leaving in a few days." Shun added. In the back of his mind, he was thinking of his wife, who was waiting for his arrival. 'There's no way I would miss the opportunity!'
"I want to see Liam. Can I?" Vincent queried Shun. He was eager to hear Liam's confession, and he also looked forward to meeting Samuel Miller.
"You don't have to, Vincent. Let me deal with Liam, and you take care of Samuel Miller. After Liam reveals everything, I will let you know so that you can convince John to set up a meeting with Samuel."
"Okay." He nodded in agreement.
Vincent was more interested in visiting Liam as he was curious to know why he didn't give up Hailee yet and give her a peaceful life. The way Pitt and James spoke about the past with Liam, it was obvious that Hailee deliberately rejected him, but the guy was persistent.
According to Shun, the master of the Dark Shadow Organization did something to Liam. That is one thing he was curious to hear. Maybe it will solve the puzzle in his head.
But since Shun decided, Vincent chose to agree and stop asserting things.
'Now, it is time to settle a score with you, Samuel Miller.'
