Chapter 73 Matteo’s Funeral (Part 1)
The morgue was cold and chilling, unlike the winter cold, which sent shivers down one’s spine.
At this moment, besides Russell and Troy, there were also a forensic doctor and several police officers in the morgue.
Zoey walked in with red eyes, and Russell, sitting in a wheelchair, greeted her.
Russell spoke with a serious expression, “The medical examiner conducted an examination and suspects it was a sudden cardiac death. A specific cause needs to be determined through an autopsy. Since both the Harmon couple and Ariana have been taken to the police station, you are the only immediate family member left. Although you have already publicly disowned the Harmon family, this matter is quite unique and requires your decision.”
Zoey nodded slightly and walked slowly to the side of the mortuary bed, suppressing her grief, and slowly removed the white sheet.
Grandfather’s face was pale, and there was no movement in his chest.
Her lips trembled as she held her grandfather’s icy hand, “How could this happen? How could this happen?”
The police officer approached and said, “Ms. Harmon, I understand you are grieving, but we need you to make a

decision whether to have an autopsy performed on the deceased.”
Zoey thought for a moment and shook her head, “I didn’t want my grandfather to leave and undergo dissection. I decided not to have an autopsy.”
The police nodded, “Okay, then we will handle it as a regular case.”
After the police left, Zoey put away her sad expression. She took out a small black pill from her handbag, pried open her
grandfather’s mouth, and placed the pill inside. She closed his jaw.
She turned around and shook the forensic scientist’s hand, “Serena, thank you.”
Serena Knapp smiled and said, “Why are you still thanking me? I can never repay the kindness you showed to my father in my lifetime. It is my honor to help you with a small favor.”
Zoey smiled faintly, “Serena, Grandpa will wake up in about an hour. I think we need to take him to handle some formalities now, so that it can be real.”
Serena nodded, “I have already prepared all the necessary procedures, and the hearse from the funeral parlor is parked downstairs. We can now proceed to the crematorium, where my brother is already waiting. The ‘funeral’ for the old man will surely be very grand.”
Zoey hugged her and looked at Roland, “Take grandpa away
now.”

Roland nodded, “Okay.”
Roland sat in the car at the funeral home with his grandfather.
Troy followed behind in his car.
Zoey turned her head and smiled at Russell, “Wasn’t my acting just now great?”
Russell chuckled, “That’s great, it almost made me cry.”
Zoey suddenly remembered the tears that Russell shed when he saw her tragic death in her past life. How heartbroken he must have been!
She held the man’s face in her hands and said, “Don’t worry, I would never let you shed tears.”
Russell couldn’t help but cry and laugh, “Zoey, this sentence should be said by me.”
Zoey leaned on his shoulder, “Russell, if one day, the two of us have to go separately, I hope you go first.”
Russell asked hoarsely, “Why?”
“I didn’t want to leave first, you would spend the whole day in tears.”
“I did not wash my face with tears.”
Zoey looked at him as Russell said, word by word, “I would accompany you to leave this world because without you, this world means nothing to me. Zoey, you are the meaning of my existence.”

Zoey sniffed, “You, you big fool!”
“I was just a fool for you alone.”
Zoey burst into laughter, “So silly!”
Russell pinched her little cheeks and lifted her onto his lap, “So, do you like it or not?”
Zoey tightly wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, “Liked it, really liked it.”
Russell held her tightly, his heart tightening sharply in pain as he had just heard her discussing that heavy topic, as if it was something he had experienced before.
“Zoey…”
“I was there, I have always been there.”
“Give me some time to take care of some things, and then shall we have the wedding?”
“Okay.”
Russell remembered the group of people he had previously surrounded on the mountaintop. They were not sent by Nelson, so if the mastermind behind them was not dealt with, they would never have peace.
A faint sadness filled the air, and Zoey didn’t like this feeling.
In the past life, she and Russell did not have a good ending. She did not want it to be the same in this life. She wanted to change that outcome and prevent history from repeating itself.

Zoey changed the subject and asked with a smile, “Was tonight’s product launch exciting?”
Russell nodded, “Very, very impressive. I wasn’t there in person, but I heard the sound of slaps.”
Zoey raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you think I was being excessive?”
Russell’s fingers caressed the girl’s slender waist. “How could it be excessive? Isn’t it their own fault? Zoey, if you had lost tonight, they wouldn’t spare you in their actions, let alone in their words. Mockery and ridicule would be incessant. You did well tonight, you did the right thing. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. Even if you were to release this venomous snake, it would still strike back at you.”
Zoey murmured, “We had to hold Grandpa’s ‘funeral’ in a grand manner, so that everyone in Woodmerrow and the whole country could see the ugly face of the Harmon family. But after that, Grandpa had to be transferred to a safe place.”
“Don’t worry, Zoey. I will take my grandfather to a suitable place for recuperation.”
“Okay.”
The car arrived at the crematorium, and the funeral home staff carried down the coffin containing the deceased.
At the same time, Zoey and Russell also got out of the car.
A man in a black tracksuit came running from nearby. He nodded slightly at Zoey and Russell and said, “I am Diego Knapp, and my sister is Serena. She has already told me about

the substituted body. I have found the person, who was an elderly man with no children and died in the afternoon.”
Zoey nodded slightly, “Thank you.”
Diego shook his head, “If you hadn’t intervened to save my father, we would have been left without a father. Come with me to handle some paperwork, I also need to disguise the old man, which takes time, otherwise the process of paying respects to the deceased will be discovered.”
Zoey agreed and left with Diego.
Troy asked in a low voice, “It seems that the young lady had a great favor towards this family.”
Russell said, “Wesley Knapp was an archaeologist who entered an ancient tomb three years ago. One of the newly recruited team members secretly opened a coffin while no one was paying attention, causing the body inside to explode due to the influx of oxygen. Wesley, who was closest to it, got infected with corpse poison. In order to prevent further harm to everyone, he pushed the coffin lid back on. That team member suffered the most severe consequences and died every two days, while Wesley was also on the verge of death. Zoey heard about this and contacted Serena to help treat Wesley. Serena and Diego were very grateful to Zoey and wanted to give her a million-dollar reward, but Zoey declined, saying that Wesley had made a contribution to the country and she admired him. The treatment was a voluntary act.”
Troy asked, “So they didn’t know that Mrs. Maddox was Dr. Z?”
Russell nodded, “I don’t know, but anyone who knows Zoey’s identity can easily figure it out with just a few clicks of their

fingers. If her identity is exposed, the chances of you betraying her are very high.”
Troy’s mouth twitched, he would rather not know!
After completing the procedures, Diego took a photo of the old man’s face. “Ms. Harmon, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully.”
Zoey smiled faintly and said, “I believed you.”
The old man was taken away by the car arranged by Russell, accompanied by Roland.
In order not to alert the snake, Zoey and Russell bought all the funeral items and stayed overnight at the funeral parlor.
The next day, news of Matteo’s passing spread like wildfire.
The Harmon couple was brought into the police station late at night, suspected to be related to Matteo’s death.

The police station entrance was bustling, with reporters and media crowding around.
