Chapter 459
The look on Cordelia's face improved. She then shot Dahlia a cold look before Cyrene walked her
inside.
Even Aurora was not happy with Dahlia.
She specially told Dahlia not to interfere, but she did not listen. Even though terminating Stella's card
would not kill Rainee, doing so at such a crucial time indirectly drove Rainee to her death.
Obviously, Aurora was not upset that Rainee died, but she worried that Keegan would also put the
blame on her when he got back.
"Aurora, walk your mom inside," Chandler said flatly, standing at the side.
"Okay,'' Aurora responded. Even though she did not feel like doing so, she walked toward Dahlia and
held her arm anyway. "Mom, let's go in."

Pursing her lips, Cordelia walked inside with a solemn look on her face.
She was walking a lot slower than she would usually. Marshall gave Cyrene a single white rose, and
she handed it to Cordelia.
Then, they paid their last respects to Rainee, and Cordelia went to Stella.
It had only been a few days, but Stella looked much skinnier. Cordelia's heart broke when she saw
Stella.
She grabbed Stella's hand and sighed before saying softly, "I'm so sorry for your loss, child. I should've
been here earlier."
Stella felt a lump in her throat, and she almost cried.
She bit her lip and said hoarsely, "It's fine, Grandma."
"You're not." Cordelia touched her face graciously and said in a low voice," Don't worry. You're a part of
the Kane family. I'll always have your back. No one will be able to mistreat you on my watch." 1
Stella gazed downward and said, "Thank you, Grandma."
Cordelia did not speak very loudly. However, the mourning hall was huge, and nobody was really
speaking at that time, so everyone there could hear every word she said to Stella.
Albert regretted what he did so much. 'I should've never listened to Hylda and turned things ugly
between Stella and I,' Albert thought.
'What Cordelia just said to Stella was no different from telling everyone that the Kane family would
support her no matter what.
'My family will have nothing to worry about if we maintain a good relationship with Stella now that she
has the Kane family's support.
'I knew women could never be trusted! Why did I even listen to what they said?!'
The look on Dahlia's face turned even uglier. The fact that Cordelia backed Stella up publicly so many

not make a move against Stella sooner!
Dahlia paid her last respects to Rainee and stood at the side with a nonchalant face. Cordelia was very
unhappy about what Dahlia was doing, but Cordelia did not criticize her for it because there were other
people around them.
The memorial service started at ten o'clock.
It ended forty minutes later, and the morticians started preparing for the cremation.
Vermont kept calling Keegan's number while standing at the side.
'Didn't he say that he'd get here by ten thirty? What's he doing?!'
Then, when the morticians were about to nail the coffin shut, he finally saw Keegan walking inside
wearily.
