Chapter 221

“Everyone is talking about it, Anna. And you might get yourself into trouble because of it. So, you better
not go to Allie’s funeral.” Scott said to Anna over the phone.

“Oh, no! I wouldn’t be there if I didn’t know that her funeral was shortly after. Now that I know that, I’m
definitely attending her funeral.”

Anna looked at herself in the mirror and tried to make her black shirt and black pants look neater. She
then tied her long hair into a ponytail.

She heard Scott sigh through her wireless earphone. He said, “Okay. I’ve got stuff to do right now, so I
might be late. Well, I’ll be there anyway.”

“All right, drive safely,” Anna said. She then hung up the phone.

Everyone said that Allie’s death was an accident. However, after asking several board members who
were present at the time, Anna learned that Allie had jumped off the building

on her own. They all said that the situation in the company was a mess at that time. However, it was
Shirley who caused all this chaos.

But, no matter what, Allie was dead.

Dylan, Allie’s uncle, planned her funeral and invited as many people as he could, including Anna.

When Anna got there, she noticed there were very few people around. So, she even suspected that
she had come at the wrong time. However, it then occurred to her that no one would want to be
associated with the Gabriel Group after what had happened to them.

Anna then went to Dylan and said, “My condolences.”



Dylan nodded. His eyes welled up with tears at that point as he said, “Allie had a bad temper, but she
was a good girl,”

Although Anna didn’t fully agree with that, she didn’t say anything more. She just nodded her head and
then turned around and prepared to leave.

Dylan suddenly stopped her and said, “Wait a minute! Allie died because something happened to the
company, and she couldn’t handle the pressure. The group has become a mess now. You should be
held accountable because you are Frank’s daughter!”

After hearing his words, Anna’s brow furrowed. However, Anna restrained the urge to create a fuss
because they were at a funeral. She patiently explained, “I don’t own any of the company’s stock, and
my father didn’t give me any assets. I have nothing to do with the group. If you’re still confused, you
can ask Mr. Lee. He’s my father’s lawyer.”

Dylan looked irritated. He said, “No, I’m not going to talk to that lawyer; I’m just going to let you take the
responsibility! Why did Frank expect us to clean up this huge mess for him? You should take action
since you’re his daughter.”

Anna thought he was ridiculous and immediately said sarcastically, “But when you knew about my
father’s will, you didn’t even seem to care about ‘fairness’ at all.”

Dylan looked even more somber. He said, “That’s different! Now is the time for you to explain yourself
to Allie and the rest of us! This company belongs to your father, so you must be responsible for this
mess!”

“Just leave Anna the f**k alone!” Scott said. Even though he was standing in the crowd, Anna could
hear him clearly.



Anna felt a hand gently tugging at her before she could turn around. She had just looked up when she
saw Randal standing behind Scott.

“Get Anna out of here.” Randal, Scott said. He then took off his sunglasses and looked at everyone; his
expression became extremely unpleasant.

As Anna left with Randal, she heard Scott saying in the distance, “I knew you all were up to no good
when you made Anna go to Allie’s funeral! What did you want to do to her? Did you guys think no one
would support Anna? You can’t blame her for this disaster! When you divided her father’s estate, you
utterly ignored her. What makes you think you get to take advantage of her now?! I’m telling you, no
f*****g way!”

“There’s a lot of people there! I’m afraid they will hurt Scott!” Anna expressed her apprehension.

“Don’t worry, Anna. Someone is protecting him,” Randal said without glancing back as he helped Anna
to get into his car.

Anna immediately looked in the direction he was looking,

Instead of pretending to be polite at all, Dylan said meanly, “Who the f**k are you? You’re just a stray
dog Gabriel took in! Who are you to meddle in our business here?”

Anna became irritated as soon as she heard these words. When she looked up, she noticed Randal
standing against the car door. He was dressed in a fine suit and expressionless.

“Teach that person a lesson,” he said calmly.

Someone let out a dismayed yell just as he finished speaking. Even though Anna was far away from
there, she heard the man cry bitterly and the sound of bones breaking.



“Just hit him! Don’t worry about anything else. I’ll take care of everything.” That miserable scream
became more frequent in the distant crowd.

Anna was taken aback when she noticed Randal wearing a black wireless headphone clipped to his
right ear.

The robust men in black in the crowd were the bouncers Randal had left with Scott to protect him.

No wonder Scott dares to scold the hell out of those shameless jerks,

Anna

thought.

She exhaled a sigh of relief as she watched the chaotic crowd in the distance. She thought those
people were pathetic and ludicrous at the same time.

Shirley and Allie had spent their entire lives scheming and getting all their scrappy relatives to work for
Gabriel’s group. What they didn’t expect, though, was that something unexpected had occurred. Then,
Allie passed away, and Shirley disappeared. Instead of looking for Shirley, their so-called “relatives”
hoped someone would continue operating the Gabriel Group. That way, they could keep getting paid
for doing nothing.

After leaving the funeral, Randal drove Anna home.

Scott sat on the couch and said to Anna, “Just ignore them, okay. They’re all psychos. If I hadn’t come
in time today, they might have hurt you.”

Once Anna realized what was right and wrong and weighed the pros and cons, she certainly knew that
the most important thing was to protect herself. So, of course, she would not take responsibility for the



group.

She nodded before looking at Randal and then said, “You’ve been showing up together a lot recently.
So, are you guys dating?”

Scott was taken aback by her words and nearly spit out the coffee he had just sipped. He said, “No!
We’re just friends.”

“Really?” Anna looked at Randal skeptically. Scott might be too embarrassed to admit it, she thought.

Randal answered, looking at Scott, “Well, we’re sort of friends.” “What do you mean ‘sort of’?” Anna
pursued.

“You know, everyone has a different definition of ‘friend’. If he says we’re friends, then we are.”

Anna asked, puzzled, “What are you talking about?” “In other words, he’s the only ‘friend’I have.”

Anna understood what Randal meant. She smiled, looked over at Scott, and noticed his face turned
from fair to rosy. She intended to tease him and deliberately asked, “Hey, why are you blushing, Scott?”

Scott defended himself awkwardly by saying, “I feel hot.” “What? It’s fall already!” Anna said teasingly.

“Oh, it’s really hot! Don’t you feel hot? It’s so hot in your house, so I don’t want to stay here anymore.
Bye, Anna, I’m leaving.”

When Scott finished, he was ready to get up. At that point, Randall looked as if he had been ready to
leave for a long time. He also stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, “I’ll

drive you home.”

And Anna could see Scott’s face flush even more.
