The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 2425 Farewell

Yvette was mediocre and incompetent all her life. She was proud, conceited, and incapable, yet

unwilling to admit defeat.

However, she was willing to learn and improve until she was good enough to be with Lance.

Yvette was not one to believe in devoted relationships, and she always had a playful attitude.

However, she changed after she met Lance. She gave Lance her heart and took away Lance’s heart.

Would Yvette be sad if she knew that the man she risked her life to protect went to look for her in the

afterlife because he was so reluctant to part with her?

Lance went to protect Yvette.

His courage made Nicole and Julie feel ashamed and sad.

Lance traveled thousands of miles to Switzerland. Did he intend to heal or end his own life?

Nicole did not dare to think further. She felt that a million needles were poking at her heart. It was so

painful that she could not breathe.

Kai held Julie and Nicole’s hands and walked back without saying anything.

The people who followed them carried Lance’s body. Everyone wondered why such a young man in his

prime would take his own life.

Was it because of love?

Everyone pitied Lance.

Time could heal all things, so why did he not wait to get over the grief?

However, Nicole knew that Lance could not get over it.

From the time Lance had that thought, it had a fatal attraction that gradually lured him to take that path.

Nicole was only able to get over the grief because Clayton came back.

If Clayton did not come back, perhaps one day, Nicole would be the person sitting under this tree.

Thus, she was empathetic toward Lance’s choice.

When that kind of pain hit one’s body, one had no power to fight back or control one’s body.

One would just have to wait for the surging tide to fade away.

Although that feeling was painful, it was addictive.

When Clayton found out about Lance, he kept silent for a long time.

Perhaps he thought of something related to Nicole because his expression was gloomy.

When they sorted out Lance’s belongings, they saw a severe depression diagnosis, but he did not take

any medication or receive treatment.

Lance just wanted to sink into depression.

Finally, Nicole contacted Lance’s mother, Fiona.

Fiona was silent on the phone for a long time before she gradually accepted the news.

She stabilized her emotions and kept her voice calm.

“I’m sorry to trouble you. Please bring him back. I’ll pick him up.”

“Okay…”

“No wonder he worked so hard all this while. He didn’t want to hand over a mess to us, so he did what

he had to do. I knew he was ill, but I didn’t expect it to be so serious. I thought he’d get better over

time… Sob sob sob…”

Fiona cried on the phone while she felt heart-wrenching despair.

A depressed person would want to act normal so that outsiders would not be able to see it.

However, looking back, Fiona regretted that she had been careless and indifferent toward her son’s

condition.

Clayton and the others did not continue to stay in Switzerland and ended their vacation ahead of

schedule.

They returned to Mediania with the kids in a private jet.

Only a private jet could bring Lance’s body back without hassle.

The funeral was simple.

Yvette’s mother also attended the funeral, and she could not help but cry when she met Fiona.

“This silly boy…”

“If only he hadn’t met Yvette… If I’d known this would happen, it would be better not to let them meet

and get married…”

Yvette’s mother had been living in Hong Kong. Although she was far away from Atlanta, where she had

memories of her daughter, Mrs. Quimbey was thinner and had gray hair. She seemed to have aged

thirty years since the last time they saw her.

Mrs. Quimbey and Fiona’s intention in bringing Lance and Yvette together was so that their children

could love each other and be happy.

However, they loved each other so much that they sacrificed their lives for each other. This was

saddening for their mothers.

Nicole and Julie were taking care of Mrs. Quimbey and Fiona. Not many people came to the funeral to

express their condolences. Some business partners also attended briefly.

After all, Lance had made a name for the Sheldon family in the business world before his death. If

Lance did not take his life, he would probably become another Eric Ferguson sooner or later.

Lance and Yvette were buried together.

Nicole and Julie cried their eyes out.

Those who loved Yvette were happy for her, but they were also sad that there was one less person in

this world who remembered her.

Mrs. Quimbey paced around and sighed.

Nicole and Julie stood up quickly and wiped away their tears.

Mrs. Quimbey went over to hug them and wiped their tears.

“Don’t cry… Yvette will be sad if she knows that you girls are sad…”

“We’re sorry, Auntie… We should’ve visited you more often.”

Mrs. Quimbey shook her head.

“It’s okay. I regret moving… I feel sorry for the Sheldon family. Lance was such a great kid…”

Mrs. Quimbey choked up and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

Lance was a good man. It was beyond everyone’s expectations.

He embraced his deceased wife in such a resolute way.

He died while he was still deeply in love with Yvette.

Time did not desecrate their love.

The Sheldon family followed up by hiring a professional manager for the company and summoned

Hamilton Scott back.

With Hamilton’s identity, it was impossible for him to sit in Lance’s position.

However, among the younger generation of the Sheldon family, only Hamilton was capable enough to Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

manage the company.

The cafe that Hamilton opened became a famous Instagrammable cafe, so many people went there to

check it out.

The Sheldon family discussed the company’s succession and planned to let Hamilton try it out.

......

It took Nicole a long time to get over Lance’s death because it was a really heavy blow to everyone.

Thus, everyone had been in low spirits.

Soon, the Sheldon family announced Lance’s will. His movable property and real estate had

designated beneficiaries.

Nicole’s daughter was also a part of Lance’s will.

The night before Lance died, he contacted his lawyer to change this clause. Reаd at Dramanovеls.com

Lance gave 1% of Sheldon Corporation’s shares to Liliana Sloan, free of charge.

This was Lance’s gift to Chatty.

They loved the adorable Chatty.

When Nicole received the gifted contract, she was too sad to speak.

She really blamed herself for not reaching out to Lance when she realized that he was ill.

Had she intervened, would the results be different?

Chatty did not know that she gained more assets.

She bounced over to Nicole’s side and raised her head to look at Nicole.

“Mommy, you’re not a good girl because you’re crying again…”

Chatty stretched out her soft little hands to wipe the tears off Nicole’s face.
