Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1265

Outside the hall, a large crowd gathered to pay their respects to Caleb. Security personnel were stationed at the entrance, ensuring order.

A man without a white flower pinned to his chest tried to enter.

The guards quickly stopped him. "Today is Mr. Houston Sr.'s funeral. Anyone without a white flower is not allowed inside."

"I'm not part of the Houston family. Why should I wear a white flower?" the man retorted.

It was clear that he was there to stir up trouble.

Over the years, the Houston family had relied on Caleb's reputation to maintain their status. Many opportunistic newcomers, hoping to take advantage of his passing, had come not to pay respects but to test if the Houston family was on the decline.

"If you don't want to wear one, then leave," a voice called out.

Melody approached in a black dress adorned with a white flower. Her presence commanded attention.

She glanced at those at the entrance and said, "I'm here to bid farewell to an old friend. Since when did the Houston family require an invitation to attend a funeral?"

The guards hesitated, recognizing her.

She frowned. "What's the matter? Is there no one in charge here? I've come to pay my respects, not to cause trouble. Young people nowadays have no sense of decorum."

Her words prompted the guards to step aside. "Madam, please come in."

Melody entered the hall and placed a bouquet of white flowers at the altar. Few of her generation were still alive. Now she was the last one standing.

Outside, troublemakers were still causing a scene at the gate, but Marion made no moves to stop them.

Debra let go of his hand and walked calmly to the entrance.

The security guards reported, "Madam, these people are here to cause trouble."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Debra asked sharply. "Kick them out."

Her icy tone startled the guards.

In the past, Debra had always disapproved of violence. But now, she was proposing it.
