The reporters nodded at Betty’s remark with looks of approval. “Not only was Ms. Betty born to wealth, but she was also a kind
and
understanding young woman.”
“As Nina’s employer, I should attend her funeral,” Sophia sobbed in front of the cameras.
The reporters questioned, “What will be the post-funeral arrangements?”
“Nina might have died in an accident, but the Beckett Group had a role to play because we failed to monitor the safety of our
