Jane and Beatrice argued for a long time, and the tension between them was escalating, as if they were about to come to blows. Some people couldn’t bear to witness this spectacle and secretly called the police.
When the law enforcement officers arrived, Jane was still arguing her case and adamantly refused to allow Beatrice to hold the memorial service now.
“Jane is acting like she’s gone mad. She’s actually trying to sabotage her own husband’s memorial service.”
Some relatives couldn’t tolerate it anymore and criticized Jane, but she paid no attention to their words.
The law enforcement officers faced a difficult situation since one was the mother of the deceased, and the other was the deceased’s wife.
The dispute between the two parties was not about conflicting interests but based on one person believing that the deceased still had a chance of survival, while the other believed that the deceased deserved a dignified farewell.
This disagreement was a family matter that was hard to resolve, as the saying goes, “It’s difficult for an upright official to judge family affairs.”
Now it was a situation where, although Jane had gone a bit too far, her emotional state was understandable to everyone. The law enforcement officers could only try to persuade Jane.
Finally, they forcibly escorted Jane away from the scene.
But Jane had already left the memorial service in shambles.
Everything, from the tools needed for the service to the items brought by relatives and friends, had been destroyed by her.
Therefore, there was no way to proceed with the memorial service anymore.
Now they could only hastily clean up and announce that it would be held at a different time.
After the law enforcement officers patiently persuaded Jane, they arranged for April to bring her back. Now April also had some conflicting feelings.
She was the one who informed Jane about this, but Jane had no idea about the chaos she had caused at the scene. Jane had assigned her to do other things.
Now back at the villa, April had learned her lesson and never left Jane’s side. No matter what Jane did, she was by her side.
In these past few days, as long as Jane didn’t sleep, April would be there, persuading her. And when Jane didn’t eat, April remained steadfast.
Gradually, Jane had no choice but to accept reality. She knew that Patrick and their children might have gone to heaven.
“You should accept this reality. Look at your company and Patrick’s company. They both have employees who rely on them.”
“People always have to move forward. Do you want Patrick to watch his company from heaven as it falls into ruin and bankruptcy?”
April knew that some people could numb themselves through work. She hoped that during this time, Jane could immerse herself in her work and maybe dilute her emotions.
Furthermore, as Jane interacted with more people through work, it would help her break free from her narrow-mindedness. It would be beneficial for her.
“I can’t let my company collapse. If Patrick sees that, he might be saddened. I can’t let Patrick’s company go that way either.”
“I will work hard to help Patrick’s company continue to grow stronger. That way, no one will laugh at us.”
“If Patrick sees this scene, he will be comforted. Whether he’s in heaven or wherever, I won’t let him down.”
Jane had started to open up a little, and she hoped to do more. She couldn’t let herself sink into despair.
These words from April had been replaying in her mind over and over again these past few days, making her realize her previous mistakes.
Even if she felt sad and heartbroken, it wouldn’t change the outcome.
Instead, she silently wished Patrick well in her heart and helped him with other matters. She also had to manage her own company well.
It would be her source of livelihood in the future and something she had to do.
In these days, all the company’s affairs had been taken care of by others. The decisions that required Jane’s input had all been suspended.
Jane spent the entire day organizing all the affairs of her own company. The next day, she went directly to Patrick’s company with April.
The people in the company knew Jane, so she informed them directly that she would take care of the company’s matters.
While Jane was sitting in her office, a middle-aged man entered. He was Patrick’s uncle and angrily pushed open the office door.
After coming in and seeing Jane handling things, he furiously spoke to her, “What are you doing here? You are not welcome here. Do you even know your own identity? You don’t need to meddle in any of the company’s affairs.”
Jane looked at him and said, “I want to manage the company for Patrick. Is there something wrong with that? Have you done this?”
“This is mine and Patrick’s company. I must ensure its continuous operation so that he can feel comforted.”
Although Jane’s words made some sense, Patrick’s uncle paid no attention to them.
“I don’t care what you say. Now please leave immediately. I am the manager of this company, and I have the authority to do so.”
“I don’t want you to appear in the company. If you have any other questions, come back when our company is running normally.”
Jane wanted to say more, but when she saw his face turning red and even taking out his phone to call security, she had no choice but to leave the office.
“Why is this uncle behaving like this? I think he just wants to take advantage of Patrick’s assets.”
April, furious, left the company with Jane. But her words reminded Jane, and she became aware of the possibility.
Although she didn’t care about the assets in Patrick’s company, she couldn’t allow others to forcefully take away his hard work like this.
The next day, Jane came to the company again, but security personnel were already waiting at the entrance.
“Sorry, we received relevant orders and cannot allow any external personnel to enter easily.”
Jane looked at the unfamiliar faces and felt helpless. She could only ask them to call Patrick’s uncle.
“I’ve already said it, I don’t want to see you. I am busy with my work now, and there are many things in the company that need to be handled.”
After saying this, Patrick’s uncle continued with other words, even mixed with some offensive language. Jane had no choice but to temporarily leave.
When she came for the third time, she was still directly rejected at the door.
Jane had no other way. Even if she caused a scene, it wouldn’t solve the problem.
