The news of Fanny’s sudden death spread throughout Richburgh.
Previously, many regretted that Fanny had given up the opportunity to become the top female star to marry Oliver.
When they learned that she was the Channings’ adopted daughter and childhood friends with Oliver, and
considered each other as siblings, the marriage took on an ambiguous tone.
No one expected more than three years later, the initially underestimated couple had walked together to the
present. Those who had seen them together claimed that the two treated each other with respect, and seemed
genuinely happy.
Some even joked that Kenneth had arranged a perfect match for Oliver since his childhood, leading to this
fortunate union.
In summary, their marriage was considered a beautiful story. What no one foresaw was that Fanny would die at the

When Diana heard the news, she struggled to remain standing. Fanny had extended a helping hand to her during
her most difficult and helpless times.
Although they hadn’t been in frequent contact over the years, Diana attributed much of her current success in the
fashion industry and the growth of her personal brand to Fanny’s initial financial support.
Fanny had played a significant role in helping her establish her studio and launching her brand worldwide.
Apart from the financial relationship, Diana and Fanny had maintained a good friendship. Recently, they had even
met occasionally.
“I always feel like it was just the other day when the three of us, Fanny, Cecilia, and I, sat at the same table for
dinner,” Diana reminisced.
Fanny’s image, her laughter, everything was vivid in her mind.
“This is just so odd! How could she just die like this?!”
Standing in the funeral procession, Diana’s emotions were complex.
Julian noticed the tears in her eyes, and was at a loss. Seeing her so distraught, he thought about telling Oliver that
they were leaving early to spare her further distress.
“We can’t stay until the funeral is over,” Julian said, when he found Oliver. “Diana’s belly is getting bigger. If she
gets too upset, it might not be good for the babies.”
If the babies faced complications, it would also affect Diana. If anything happened to either of them, Julian wouldn’t
be able to bear it. He had to ensure Diana’s well-being during this pregnancy.
“I understand.”
Oliver came over to see them off. The entire process was excessively calm, and there wasn’t much sadness on his
face.

“What if Fanny didn’t really die?” Diana suddenly muttered, as Julian bundled her into the car. She glanced out the
window at the funeral scene that was getting farther away.
Julian was getting a bit angry. “What are you talking about?”
From his perspective, Diana was behaving unusually today. She wasn’t usually someone who lacked discretion, and
she certainly wouldn’t repeatedly say such absurd things.
But today, she seemed a bit out of her mind.
“Would Oliver joke about his wife’s death? If a person is perfectly fine but insists on saying she’s dead, arranging a
funeral for her, that’s…”
The thought sent shivers down his spine.
“It’s impossible,” he denied. “Oliver loves Fanny very much. When I sent Sean to the training camp before, I talked
to him about him and Fanny. I could sense that he was looking forward to them having a good life together. Fate
just didn’t go as planned, and Fanny lost her life at such a young age.”
“No, something’s wrong.” Diana still felt something was off. “Fanny had a baby. Why didn’t Oliver mention that?”
Last night, Diana had already contacted Fanny’s manager.
