Chapter 670 A Wedding and A Funeral (2/2)

Nathan responded before running out to make the respected phone call.

A while later, Rhys and Eunice finally came over.

”Carla, how's Grandpa?” When Rhys saw Terence's hard expression, he decided to ask Carla instead.

He knew Terence was the closest one to Nicholas. He must've been having a hard time trying to process that this was happenin

portrait without a word. It was Edmund and Rhys who were dealing with all the oncoming visitors.

People came and left, paying their condolences to the family.

During those times, Carla noticed that another familiar man stumbled into the hall and collapsed in front of the portrait with a loud thump.

As she moved closer, she realized that he was no other than Marcus who was supposed to be serving his time in prison.

Marcus seemed to be at a loss, with blotched eyes and nose. He shook, crying at the death of his grandfather.

Edmund stood beside him, but he didn't bother to directly address his presence.

Marcus was once Edmund's favorite son. He remembered spoiling him very much, so much that he became used to a life of lavishness and fun. In the end, he got himself locked behind bars.

Guards surrounded him, given that his sentence still wasn't completely served.

A few minutes later, Marcus stood up to look at his father. He could barely look him in the eye. ”Father, can I have a few words with you?”

They went to the other room next to the hall.

Marcus had been serving for five years now. He looked older, with a stubble starting to grow around his jawline. When they were finally alone, he knelt before his father, trembling.

He cried his heart out. ”Father, please save me!

It's been five years. I've learned my lesson!”

If it wasn't for Nicholas's death, Marcus wouldn't have a chance to get out of prison to talk to his family. No one in his family had paid him a visit during the past five years.

He had repented from what he had done for five years. He had spent every night in tears, just thinking of the fact. However, no one bothered to know about it.

Now, his grandfather's death had given him the chance to see his father. He was going to use this opportunity to beg for his family's help. He would rather kill himself than spend another fifteen years in prison. Over his dead body.
