Chapter 474 Live Out Your Life About an hour later, Zack calledagain. "The police are here. Your funeral is nothing short of tic. Seriously... If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't have been able to sit there. Kudos for being keeping your cool, Eva." I chuckled. "I stood up a long tago. You just didn't see it." Then, both of us shared a bitter chuckle.

"Did someone clean the mess at the funeral, Zack?" "Yeah. In the end, the police officers got there, but none of them dared to offend Alisa. She... Well, let's just say she fought as if she were possessed." I didn't need to hear the rest of it. I had always known that Alisa was a hothead. It was no surprise that she would pick a fight with Leonard over my death.

Truth be told, I was quite worried. Fortunately, Leonard didn't give her trouble in retaliation. Green Group was still able to operate as usual.

With that said, it didn't take a genius to figure out his lack of response. After all, I had just died. If Leonard did anything to the Green family at this juncture, then someone might have dirt over him.

Alisa wasn't just displeased with Leonard. She was also upset with Jack. In her eyes, the dead demanded respect, and their actions were just highly disrespectful.

As a matter of fact, I didn't really care about all that. I just couldn't be bothered to watch Leonard acting as if he loveddeeply. It would just makefeel sick.

"Anyway, Crystal wants you to reach out to her on WhatsApp. After all, you have a lot of estate affairs to deal with." After Zack reminded me, I recalled that I had authorized Crystal to handle these affairs. Although it might seem a little strange, it actually seemed normal for someone in my condition to have prepared a will. I hurriedly gave Crystal a call and added her on WhatsApp. When I switched to video call, she cried the moment she saw me. "You don't know about it, Eva, but it really felt like you were dead when I was at the funeral. Everyone was crying, and I couldn't hold it in either. I kept thinking you were lying to me." Then, Crystal cried again.

I merely listened to her in silence. I was aware that I had put her in a difficult spot. She had to bear such a huge secret, and she couldn't even tell anyone about it.

After a brief moment, Crystal finally composed herself. "The scene was just an absolute mess. I was thinking that you might've bounced back to life if you were actually lying in the Coffin. But are you sure you're not going to tell Jack about your plan? I think he's really hurt. I could tell he was holding his tears back." "I'm not going to tell Jack. Let him think that I'm dead." At that moment, I was very sure of myself. As a matter of fact, I was quite glad that Jack loved me. A little proud, even.

Jack was such an excellent man, and he was also a domineering CEO. Moreover, he didn't mind that I had cancer. With that said, what happened in romance fiction wasn't going to happen to me. I was in bad shape, and Leonard was there to keepunder his thumbs. There was virtually nothing to be gained for Jack to love me.

It didn't matter if Jack actually thought ofas his soulmate or something else. I couldn't let him get tangled up with me.

Crystal had a much cooler head. She was the only one who agreed with me. "You're right. It's better if he doesn't know about it. Just go ahead and live out your life. Free yourself from these men. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the stueither. Leonard kept his word this time."

Crystal proceeded to tella lot of I"diedm stuff that happened after ! " Leonard did go to the stuseveral times in hopes of finding me. However, he almost fell apart whe he saw how my stuff remained untouched in my office.

With that said, Leonard didn't force my stuto surrender their works for the proigat in Manovia. Instead, he honored our agreement and allowed my studio's nto go on top.

Crystal felt somewhat awful. "If only you were here with us This is the studio's first international project." I let out a sigh of relief and chuckled. "You guys are going to do fine without me. I'm sure of it."
