?Chapter 879:


    It wasn’t until everyone had left that Rachel finally stood alone before the tombstone.


    Holding an umbre, she approached slowly, with a faint smile on her lips.


    “An, I’m here to say goodbye. I’ve learned to take care of myself now, so you don’t have to worry. I’ll live my life to the fullest, for you.”


    Just then, a voice broke through the silence. Someone holding an umbre stepped closer.


    Rachel didn’t need to nce up to know exactly who it was.


    “I knew you woulde.”


    Brenda’s hand tightened around the umbre handle. “Yes, no matter where I am, I’ll alwayse back, An. I know you didn’t like it when I traveled all the way here, but how could I not be here for you?”


    Brenda lowered herself to the ground, the umbre forgotten as she stood silently in front of An’s grave.


    That night, the two women stood beside the grave, speaking all the words they had kept inside.


    By dawn, they said their goodbyes and parted ways, each returning to their own path.


    Rachel finally understood that, in the end, everyone has to say goodbye, no matter how much time they’ve spent together.


    With An’s death, his business was thrown into its greatest crisis yet.


    While he was alive, the board had tolerated Lizzie, despite their resentment toward a young woman in charge, because she was his sister. Theyined in private but never dared to speak against her openly.


    But with An gone, things changed quickly. Everyone turned their attention to Lizzie.


    “A youngdy, barely out of school, thinks she can be our leader? That’sughable!”


    “I heard she’s been blind for years and only recently learned to read. And now she thinks she can boss us around?”


    “Now that An’s gone, she’s nothing!”


    ???????? ???????????????? ? ?????????ν?????????????


    Rumors spread quickly through thepany, and soon, Lizzie was almost driven to the point of istion. She’d always been sheltered, never having faced such harsh treatment, and it was no surprise that she was struggling to cope.


    Rachel understood that Lizzie might give up, but she couldn’t.


    Thepany was An’s legacy, and Rachel couldn’t let it fall apart.


    But she never expected the rumors to spread so quickly and strongly. With Lizzie’s illness in the spotlight, the board grew bolder, with some even calling for a name change for Vance Group.


    Despite her anger, Rachel kept herposure and calmly told Alban, “Inform all board members. There will be a meeting tomorrow morning at nine.”


    “I’ll arrange it.”
