Mia still sat next to William, of course, taking her seat first before he sat down beside her.
Her mother spoke first, "I'm very sorry. Now that Mia's father has passed away, the burden of Collins Enterprises will likely fall on William... His health hadn't been good these past two years, and he neglected the company, leaving many problems. This might cause a lot of trouble for William..."
William clasped his hands together, resting them on his knees, and said calmly and confidently, "This is no trouble for me. Collins Enterprises will not decline under my management."
William's father spoke up, "Please don't apologize anymore. We already feel very guilty for not being able to attend your husband's funeral."
Mia's mother shook her head. "I know your health isn't good either. These days, William has been here taking care of the aftermath for the Collins family without even going home to see you. I feel very guilty about that."
