She cherished the fact that Cesar, despite not being her biological grandfather, cherished her as if she were his own blood.

Once Cesar was appropriately prepared, his body was moved to the mourning hall.

Gazing at his familiar face, Sabrina felt as if he was merely asleep.

But she knew he would never wake up.

Overwhelmed by this reality, she broke into tears.

The funeral was a grand affair.

The hall's aisle was adorned with floral baskets and wreaths.

ALL members of the Blakely family made it a point to be there.

Dignitaries and celebrities paid their respects.

Even the mayor sent his secretary with flowers.

Several owners of smaller companies made their presence. Once they paid their respects, they approached Tyrone and Larry, their motives apparent.

The directors of Blakely Group, too, came to mourn Cesar but also to gather information from Larry and Tyrone.

Cesar's demise meant that his considerable shares in the group would need to be reallocated.

Harrell was caught off guard by the simultaneous events of a change in the group's presidency and Cesar's sudden passing.

It led to a dramatic upheaval.

Instead of stabilizing, the stock price plummeted even more drastically, prompting a wave of shareholders to offload their stocks

Even some directors started getting restless.

The hall buzzed with a crowd of people, while Sabrina and Wanda stayed in front of the body.

When female guests arrived, Lena would engage them, instructing Tyrone to look after Sabrina before Leaving.

By seven in the evening, the hall finally emptied.
