Chapter 481

Kevan modded with a straight face and comforted her st iffy. “Please accept my condolences.”

His indifference made tears well up in Violet’s eyes once again.

Looking up at Kevan, she opened her mouth to reproach him, but in the end, she pursed her lips

without another word

“Oh, is Kevan here as well? Kevan’s uncles appeared with their families in tow.

There were no signs of grief on their faces. Instead, they were smiling in satisfaction.

Bemard stared at Violet’s lace and remarked with displeasure. “Violet. I’ve told you belore, this

occasion is a celebration of life for Father. He passed away peacefully in his sleep. How could ne rast

in peace with you crying I ke this?”

Volet lowered her head wordlessly as her grip on kewan’s arm lightened.

Narrowing his eyes, Kevan couldn’t stop the hostility that arose within him.

“It’s natural to feel sad when a family member has passed away. On the other hand, an al about all of

you? Are you happy because Grands is at peace, or because you’re about to get your hands on his

inheritance?” he demanded.

“You b astard” Demard widened his eyes. “How dare you speak to your elders like that?”

In an instant, there was tension in the air.

Anthony pulled Kevan aside with a stem lace. “Don 1 stir up trouble here. Aren’t you busy with work?

Go back immediately.”

Kevan didn’t want to leave, but he was also tired of seeing the smug looks on his urces’ laces.

“Fine.” He nodded and left right away after saying goodbye to Violet.

When Keyan lell the main hall, Bernard and Felix’s families gathered together and started gossiping

about him.

“When Father was still alive, his favonte grandson was Sewan. Whatever the desired, he received.

What’s the use of lavoring that ungrateful b astard? Now that Father is gone, Kevan didn’t even stay

back to keep vigil! What a heartless child”

Their voices were very loud, loud enough for visuel to hear every word.

Violet was already at the end of her patience. When she heard the sarcastic remarks they made, she

couldn’t bear it any longer.

Despite Anthony’s attempts to stop her, Viet rushed up to them and shouted in anger, “Whose lault is it

that Kevan has become like this? Back then, none of you had shown any concem when that tragedy

happened. Don’t assume that I’m unaware that all of you gloated behind our backs! Our family never

thought of lighting for the inheritance as we have raised Kevan well-unlike your children! Each of your

children is a useless leech that lives off their parents wealth. Even at this age, they still don’t know how

to work hard and earn their own

Molet was luming mad. Her harsh words were brutally honest and left them no room to save lace

“Violet, what do you mean by those words?”

“Who are you calling leeches?

“Violet Father would be turning in his grave if he heard this trade! How could he rest in peace””

After Violet finished speaking, Berard and Felix’s family surrounded her and bombarded her with

accusations.

Anthony quickly stepped forward and shielded Violet behind him,

With a stem expression on his face, he defended his wife. “Did Violet say anything wrong? Since

Cody’s wedding until now, none of you. have glan us an explanation regarding Keyan’s assault. Al

you’ve done these six years was fight for power and wear by kicsing us out of Soaring Corporation I did

not take action against your families because I didn’t want the situation within the family to worsen and

make Father worried However, now that he has passed on, I’m no longer restricted by these concems.

Don’t blame me for being ruthless if you insist on shring up trouble!”

Anthony was the frstbom of the second generation. After Holand stepped down, he was in charge of

Soaring Corporation for the longest time. The weath of experience he had brought about a

commanding presence in both his

Now that Anthony had spoken up, they could only grit their teeth and shut their mouths in silence

although they were dissatisfied. For the sake of Father’s funeral you’d better restrain yourselves for the

next few days und His funeral affairs are settled”

that Anthony dragand Violet to the middle of the man hall so that they could meet the guests who had

just arrived. Kewan instructed his driver to not go home yet.

Dylan had also heard the news of Roland’s passing and called to console Kevan.

Taking the opportunity. Kevan invited him for a drink, “Let’s have a drink together!”

Dylan wasn’t land of drinking, but he decided to kerp Kevan company as it was under special

circumstances.

The two of them agreed to meet at a highly excus we private club.

Kevan ordered var ous types of alcohol and ined them on the coffee table.

There was whiskey, liquor, and beer.

Kevan was not picky with his drinks and drank the alcoho straight from the bottles,

Dylan couldn’t bear to watch him intoxicate himsell like that. He tried to pry the bottle from Kevan’s

hands, but Kevan pusred him away.

“Let me drink” Kevan was already speaking incoherently. “I’m feeling lousy-

With tears running down his face, he struck his chest with his 1st obviously drunk.
