"Great-grand…" Lily paused briefly, then corrected herself: "Has Mr. Scott passed away?"
Bella hadn't noticed Lily's unfamiliarity with Mr. Scott's title and, wiping away tears, said: "Yes, it's all our own fault. That time at the auction, the last remaining assets of the Scott family were squandered by your grandfather. Later, when the old man woke up in the hospital and found out your grandfather had been humiliated at the auction, he just… he just…"
Bella couldn't continue.
She just covered her mouth, crying relentlessly.
The old man, who had been wise and powerful for a lifetime, was humiliated like that, angered to death by his own son in a hospital bed.
And the most pathetic thing is, because during his life, he reached a level where people and gods were indignant at him.
He had already severed ties with Larry and his group.
So, even after his death, Sylvia and Larry did not pay respects as members of the Scott family.
