Chapter 1454: Funeral

The funeral of Miss Seys, the Seys Family’s beloved treasure, Nicole Seys, was attended by few, mostly close friends of the Seys Family, but Arlo Seys specifically sent invitations to Alex Cooper and Brianna Wilson from the Cooper Family.

Cemetery.

Nicole Seys was buried beside her mother and brother, while Ryan Seys and Iris Seys cried themselves into little tear-soaked figures, hoarsely calling out, "Auntie."

The Seys Family’s close friends lamented over the loss of the family’s only treasured gem, who passed away at a young age.

The entire Seys Family stood in black attire before Nicole Seys’ grave.

Alex Cooper stepped forward to offer a wreath for Nicole Seys, bowed to her tombstone and the Seys Family, expressing his regret.

Brianna Wilson stared blankly at the photo on Nicole Seys’ tombstone: "Nicole... is dead... Nicole..."

Alex Cooper scolded Brianna Wilson: "Yes, it was your knife that killed Nicole! Even if Steven were to wake up, he wouldn’t forgive your actions! You were truly foolish!"

Brianna Wilson shook her head with reddened eyes: "I never intended to kill Nicole... I truly never thought to harm Nicole... I only wanted to kill Jose Floyd. I never planned to injure Nicole..."

"Steven was indeed seriously injured because of Nicole, yet Nicole had been so devoted in caring for Steven, and so concerned for us. Couldn’t you feel that? And now, Nicole is gone." Alex Cooper’s face was stern as he reprimanded his wife.

Brianna Wilson looked at Nicole Seys’ tombstone, her eyes reddening.

Arlo Seys looked indifferently at the Cooper parents, his voice cold: "Steven Cooper is a lifelong responsibility of our Seys Family, one we will not shirk. He will receive the best care and medical treatment, and I will try everything to cure him. If you face difficulties, the Seys Family will lend a hand, in gratitude to Steven. As for the marriage, it is void. The Seys and Cooper Families will no longer be allied by marriage."

Alex Cooper looked guilt-ridden towards the Crown Prince of the Seys Family, "Young Master Seys, thank you for not holding my wife accountable... Thank you."

"This is Nicole repaying Steven’s life-saving grace, and it is Nicole’s final words, so you need not dwell on it. If you face troubles in the future, feel free to speak out—what the Seys Family can resolve, we certainly won’t refuse."

Arlo Seys’ promise is equivalent to the Seys Family protecting the Cooper Family from storms and ensuring their peace and prosperity for a lifetime. If Steven Cooper awakens, with the support of the Seys Family, he will surely achieve splendid success someday.

This is the Seys Family’s commitment to the Cooper Family, because Steven once protected Nicole with his life.

What Nicole Seys owed Steven was repaid by her single ’no accountability’ when his mother injured her gravely. Nicole Seys has no further debts to Steven.

In addition to the Seys Family’s serious commitment to the Coopers now, Nicole Seys owes nothing more to Steven Cooper.

At the end of Nicole Seys’ funeral, only the Seys Family remained in the cemetery.

Enzo Seys gazed at the three tombstones in the cemetery, his eyes deep red.

Niki, Wade, Nicole—each were the most important people in his life, yet he would never meet them again.

Ryan Seys continued to cry, recalling scenes where his aunt risked her life for him in the Restricted District, tears streaming unstoppably, wiped away only for more to fall.

"Mom, is Auntie really not coming back?" Ryan Seys asked, eyes reddened, sniffling.

Ariel Morris felt a lump in her throat, gazing at Nicole Seys’ tombstone, silent.

Arlo Seys looked at his sister’s tombstone, his voice heavy: "Yes, your Auntie no longer exists in this world because Miss Seys, Nicole Seys, has passed away. Nicole Seys died from grave injuries."
