Chapter 511 Funeral
Mark returned to the door of the room, and saw that he was covered in dirt, and all the horrible things he had just done, and he was so eerie and murderous that he didn't want to bring these things back to Giselle and little Martin, so he asked the butler to arrange another room for him, next to the suite where he lived.
Martin didn't force him to kill Carl, nor did he ask him to help, if Mark stood by and watched, Martin wouldn't be anything, but he just did it, he didn't regret doing it, revenge has a bottom line of revenge, you deal with others unscrupulously, don't blame others for unscrupulous means against you, Carl ambushed and assassinated Martin, Mark wouldn't be so angry, but with such a despicable and obscene way to deal with Caroline, don't blame Martin for being vicious.
From the look in Martin's eyes, he was on the verge of a breakdown, and if he wasn't given a place to vent, God knows what he would do.
As far as Mark knew, Martin had just one daughter.
As soon as Mark finished his shower, Martin knocked on the door with a bottle of wine, and he said, "I can't sleep, let's talk!"
Mark opened the door and let him in, saying, "You can tell me anything." ”
Martin took a sip of wine and said, "It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, Caroline would have lived a normal life, fell in love, and then got married and had children." ”
Mark didn't know how to comfort him, and he wouldn't comfort others, so he had to drink with him, listening to Martin complaining, complaining, he could feel the pain and helplessness in his heart, and there was a bit of Wall Street predator style there?
Mark couldn't imagine what would happen if this happened to him? He vowed to protect the people around him and not let him be hurt in any way, the more he thought about it, the more annoying it became, they just kept drinking, and finally fell asleep at some point.
The next morning Mark was woken up by Giselle and Martin Jr., dressed in black, who said they were asking Mark to go to the funeral.
Mark had a splitting headache, which was a normal reaction to a hangover, and said dizzily, "So soon? No goodbye to Mass!"
Giselle said: "According to Martin's meaning, there is no farewell ceremony, the funeral is very low-key, there are only a few of us, Martin will not attend, Winston butler has arranged everything." ”
Mark said, "Oh my God! I barely slept last night, and my head hurts. He kissed Martin's little cheek and said, "I'm going to take a shower!"
Martin didn't hold a big funeral, Caroline died of this kind of illness, if the reporter knew, I don't know how much criticism it would cause, all kinds of speculation, I am afraid that it will never be washed away, and he does not need the sympathy of others, crocodile tears.
What's more, it's Christmas, which is a very disappointing thing.
So there are very few people attending the wedding today, except for Winston and Mark's family, there are only pastors and some medical personnel and servants, all of whom are in this mansion, and only Mark's family is outsider.
All dressed in black, with solemn expressions, they stood in front of the monument at dusk listening to the priest reading the eulogy, and looked at the sweet-smiling blonde girl on the tombstone, who was born to Martin's ex-wife, and was now only twenty-five years old, only a year older than Mark, but who had died.
Mark noticed that there was a large cluster of roses transplanted in front of the grave, and that place was the place where Martin killed Carl, listening to Martin's drunken nagging last night, Caroline didn't know that her nominal boyfriend had harmed her, and thought it was caused by an infection when she was a fan, and in her last days, her boyfriend still came to accompany her every day.
But Carl secretly did all this to hide from Martin, the old fox, after Caroline was sure that it would not work, he immediately controlled Carl and personally dug a pit for him, thinking of this Martin's crazy ruthlessness, Mark had a creepy feeling.
Mark looked around and found that Martin had finally come, hiding behind a tree, crying silently, and Mark wanted to call him over, but this only made him sad.
Winston stood beside Mark and said, "I've had a reluctant request!"
Mark didn't speak, and Winston continued: "Only sir, you can exonerate the master, I hope you will stay a few more days, seeing little Martin here, the lord will have some comfort." ”
Mark said, "OK!"
Winston said, "Miss Carolyn is going, all the trust funds in her name have been transferred to charity, and the lord hopes that little Master Martin can take him over when he grows up." ”
Mark said, "That's for later. Giselle hugged little Martin, he also knew that something bad had happened, so he obediently kept silent, Mark stroked his little head, and said, "This is too far away for him!" Little Martin flatteringly stretched out his hands to Mark, and Mark took him over and took him into his arms.
Winston let out a little surprised and whispered in Mark's ear, "There's someone who shouldn't have come." ”
Mark said, "Who?" Martin rarely introduced his relatives and friends, and judging from today, there should be no relatives, and the security here is heavily guarded, and if it is someone else, it is absolutely impossible to enter.
Winston said, "Master's ex-wife!" After speaking, he greeted him, a woman dressed in black, veiled on her head, and holding a bag in her hand, her figure and face were similar to Caroline, she mourned in front of the tomb for a minute, and then said coldly: "How did Caroline die?" Seeing that Winston was a little hesitant, he said: "I want a report on the cause of death." ”
Winston said, "I will give you a satisfactory answer after asking the master, Lady Merlin." He was a tactful reminder that Caroline had been raised by Martin, and that she had remarried into the Merlin family, and was not qualified to make such and such requests.
Merlin said dissatisfiedly: "What about Davis, what the hell? He hid there and was merry, and he didn't attend his daughter's funeral, and he made such a shabby scene, it's too embarrassing." ”
Winston said: "Sir, he is very sad, and it hits him hard, and it is very difficult to ask him to come to the funeral. ”
Merlin said, "He must be guilty, right? She is inescapable of being responsible for Caroline's death, and if it were Caroline and me, this would not have happened." ”
For this matter, Winston is too lazy to deal with it, Winston knows that Martin is his boss and is the one who pays him, and the woman in front of him is not the boss lady, and her status is not as good as Mark and them.
Merlin saw Mark and Giselle, squeezed a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you for coming." ”
Mark said: "This incident hit Martin hard, he didn't go to the merry scene, he was sad on the side. ”
Merlin said, "I want to know the cause of Caroline's death, oh my God! she's only twenty-five years old, and she's in the best of her youth." ”
Winston said, "Ma'am, I have replied to you just now. ”
Merlin sharply shrieked, "I am Caroline's mother, and I have the right to know all this, either you take it yourself or wait for a summons from the court." ”
Winston said politely, "After the ceremony, you can leave, ma'am." ”
Merlin said: "You are a low-ranking person, what qualifications do you have to drive me away? Martin's money belongs to Caroline, and now that Caroline is dead, I am her only relative, and I have the right to inherit legally, and Caroline's estate has my share." ”
Winston, the English butler, was still like that, and said, "As for Miss Caroline's estate, Miss Caroline made a will when she died, and there was a clear designation for the use of the property in her name, and Ms. Merlin is one of the beneficiaries. ”
Merlin was overjoyed, and said with tears in her eyes, "Caroline, this child, she has always loved me. ”
Mark was a little despicable, wondering if the woman had wept with joy when she heard that she had an inheritance.
Winston said, "I can arrange for you to meet with the attorney in the afternoon, and then the will can be read." ”
When the funeral was over and the guests were leaving, the attorney for execution began to read the will, and Mark and Martin Jr. were among the appointed to be present.
Merlin was a little dissatisfied, and said, "What are you calling some outsiders for?"
Lawyer Will said: "The will specifies that Lisa Merlin, Mark Wong and Martin Wong must be present before the will can be read. ”
Merlin was a clever man, and he exclaimed, "Oh my God, what's wrong with Caroline, to give them a share?"
When the lawyer read the will, everyone was very surprised, all Caroline's estate during her lifetime was transferred to the Caroline Charitable Fund, which is currently supervised by Mark, and Martin will be in charge of it when he grows up, and Merlin can receive $100,000 a month from the fund for living expenses until he returns to old age for a hundred years.
After listening to the lawyer read out more than half of the assets owned by the foundation, Mark estimated that the market value of the foundation was five billion dollars, and according to the will, he would be the manager of this money, as long as it was for investment and charity, he could use it in any way.
Merlin, on the other hand, turned pale with anger and shrieked, "This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." She pointed at Mark and said, "You stole my money." ”
Mark is not easy to mess with, but he will not be intimidated by a shrew, and said: "This is a crime of defamation, there are so many witnesses, do you want to go to jail?"
Merlin pointed to Lawyer Will and said: "Mark and his son are not related to Caroline at all, why are they all given the money, and I am her own mother, why is it only 100,000 a month, so little? ”
"The Will, which was made in the presence of Lord Jackson and a panel of experts, is fully legally valid, and is the result of careful deliberation by Miss Caroline, who was not aware of his appointment as administrator of the estate until the Will was published. ”
Merlin said: "You despicable guys, you changed the will, stole my money, I don't accept it, I want to sue you, you wait for my lawyer's letter." ”
Will groaned: "This is your freedom, but if you refuse to recognize and sign it, you won't get 100,000 yuan a month." ”
