Ch. 2331..2340

Chapter 2331 Both the mother and daughter had yet to really set foot in the Shaw Residence, when they came to the solemn and mighty mansion, Gloria instantly stopped in her tracks.

"Mom." Sabrina raised her arm and wrapped it around her mother's shoulder.

Gloria looked at her daughter. "I am afraid. Do you know that?"

Sabrina nodded. "I know."

"That is a kind of fear that had been etched in my heart and could never be erased for life." Once Gloria approached the entrance of the mansion, she was reminded of how she was standing outside of this huge mansion and was chased out of the house by her classmate, Jennie Gibson, who was an incomparable noble little princess wearing a princess gown.

There was also...her own brother as well. They were half-siblings, but he was still her brother. Until that moment, Gloria was unable to forget being kicked by her brother and landing a few meters away. After Gloria was kicked that time, she was bedridden at home for a very long time and was vomiting blood every day. Her mother was so frightened that she cried at Gloria's bedside every day. she was afraid that Gloria would die from being kicked. Her brother was still calling Gloria very loving at that moment, but Gloria was able to see that kind of guilt on his face. However, no matter how guilty he felt, what can that make up? Could that turn back time and stop the whole incident from happening?

Nobody knew that regardless if it was something she should and should not have endured or if it was something she could or could not be enduring at that tender age in her childhood, Gloria had endured it all. Nobody would take responsibility for her childhood. She only had one childhood. Jennie had such a happy childhood, was pampered by so many, and was loved by her aunt and uncle, as well as her cousin, but what about Gloria? she had a biological father, who was a powerful man, and also a biological brother, but these were the nightmare of her childhood. At that moment, they had let her return to the environment that was her nightmare.

That was simply torturing for Gloria.

"Mom, if you really don't want to go in, then just don’t. The worst case was being criticized for not being a caring daughter and for being a petty person who wouldn't forgive others. It doesn't matter. I'll be by your side. It's fine as long as you are happy. Don't torture yourself," Sabrina said to her mother.

Gloria shook her head. "Forget it. He is about to die. I'll just endure it. I can overcome this, what about you, Sabrina? If you don't want to go in, I won't force you. You may just go back, my child."

Gloria felt more sorry for her daughter, she could have just overlooked it if old Master Shaw had just tortured herself, who was his daughter. However, he also once wanted to kill Sabrina and wanted to punish her severely by tearing her into a million pieces.

Sabrina shook her head. "Mom, no matter where you go, I will be there right by your side. Even if I had to go through fire and water, I will also be accompanying you. Don't worry. I will be fine."

Sabrina resented old Master Shaw as much as Gloria did.

Gloria looked at her daughter and said gratefully, "Thank you, my good daughter."

"Mom, let's go in." Sabrina wrapped a hand around her mother.

As soon as both the mother and daughter entered the huge mansion, some maids called out in unison, "Welcome home, my lady. Welcome home, miss."

Lady and miss. They truly treated Gloria and her daughter as members of the Shaw family.

"Thank you." Gloria nodded her head slightly and smiled faintly.

Both the mother and daughter duo were then led by the maids through a long hallway, through the garden, and finally into old Master Shaw's bedroom in the main building. The bedroom was very big and very extravagant. It was that kind of extravagant that was not showy but everything was beautiful antiques from a long time ago at a glance.

"Gloria, you...came. I thought you were not coming. Quickly come over here. I have something to tell you...and Sabrina." old Master Shaw raised his haggard arm and beckoned to Gloria and Sabrina.

Chapter 2332 Both Gloria and Sabrina came to Old Master Shaw's bedside.

"Gloria, Г11...Г11 first...speak to Sabrina."

Gloria nodded. "Alright."

Gloria and Sabrina were both indifferent toward the bunch of people crying behind them. Sometimes, both the mother and daughter duo would silently think to themselves, were they being too heartless? So what if they were too heartless or what if they were not heartless? They could not be forcing themselves to pretend to be sad while they really did not want to cry or were not truly sad, right? It was just that both the mother and daughter duo felt slightly awkward being among the entire family who was so saddened.

Sabrina awkwardly came to Old Master Shaw. "Old Master Shaw, if there's anything that you need me to do, you may just let me know. As long as it's something that I could do, I will do it."

That was the only comfort Sabrina was able to give to the old man. If she were asked to kneel before his bed and say something like, ' Grandpa, I feel very sorry for you. You can't die' while crying, she truly was not able to do that.

"Sabrina." Old Master Shaw held Sabrina with his haggard hand.

Sabrina was speechless.

"I-I have wronged you."

"Your health is not good now. Don't strain yourself, old Master Shaw. I... I no longer blamed you since a long time ago," Sabrina said with a faint smile.

"No!" said Old Master Shaw. "That's not what I've meant."

"What...do you mean?" Sabrina asked.

She did not understand.

"I meant to say that I was a jerk when I was young. I was an ass," said Old Master Shaw.

Sabrina was speechless.

Old Master Shaw sighed. "Since I was very young, I had been very high-spirited and arrogant, and I had always been telling the right from the wrong from my own perspective. I have been very self centered in judging both the positive and negative sides of all matters. Also, I have always used my perspective as the benchmark for what was right."

Sabrina instantly looked up at old Master Shaw. Suddenly, she felt a kind of heartbreak, she smiled miserably. "You...you have finally understood that you are this kind of person?"

The old man smiled miserably. "Yes, I am about to die soon. If I still hadn't understood it, how would I be able to face my forefathers in the great beyond? How could I face your grandmother, who is Gloria's mother?"

Speaking of that, the old man sighed deeply. After he had rested for a moment, he continued, "I was a young, promising, and high- spirited person. As long as I find someone in my surroundings that doesn't think the same way as I do, I would feel that he is wrong and I would think that he is an eyesore. Even if Gloria's mother had saved my life, I still felt that that was what she should have done for me. She should look up to me all her life. 1 can have her at my beck and call. When I don't want her anymore, she should disappear forever and should never come to disturb my life. That's how serious I am as a jerk. It's one thing for me to be such a jerk, but I even treat this kind of jerkish behavior of mine as a kind of positive and responsible behavior. I have always used my perspective as the standard of goodness. Everything in my surroundings is wrong. The person who was hurt the most in this was Gloria's mother..." He sighed.

The old man was already covered in tears when he said that.

"I regret it so much!" The old man sighed deeply. "Gloria's mother is my benefactor, she was the savior of my life. If it weren't for her, I never would have lived to see the day I turn fifty. I would have already died abroad when I was in my forties. However, I have never realized this. I put my life savior in dire straits and I oppressed and slandered her. I... How should 1 face her after I die? I don't know..."

Sabrina did not say anything.

Chapter 2333 Gloria, who was behind Sabrina, even cried. Originally, she did not cry a single tear at all. However, when she heard her father regretting how he treated her mother, Gloria cried. She was not crying for her father. Instead, she was crying for her mother who had died with resentment. No matter how sincere a person's repentance was, no matter how much the person regretted it, a young and vibrant life would never be able to be repeated.

"But these...." The old man's voice became weaker and weaker, and more and more hoarse. His voice was so hoarse that Sabrina could not even bear to listen to him anymore.

"Just...take a rest. My mother and I no longer blame you anymore. It's true. Just take a rest. Don't have too much of a burden on your mind. Your health has been great and you don't have any serious illness. You certainly are able to live to a hundred years old. There are many centenarians in this world. A female writer even lived till she was one hundred and twelve years old. You're still twenty years away from turning one hundred and twelve years old." At that moment, Sabrina had no choice but to comfort old Master Shaw.

Old Master Shaw was covered in tears. "I have been narrow minded. After all, I have been too narrow-minded. In fact, the evilest, most uncivilized, and the man without any boundaries in the world is me! Even if I had not mistaken someone else as my granddaughter, even if Selene was truly my granddaughter, I also should not have been so aggressive toward you back then.

That kind of behavior of mine was simply bullying. I was crushing a defensive young girl like you because I had the power. How shameless I must have been. After living for so long, it turns out that the honor that I had always highly valued was something that I have the least. It was because I was just a shameless person that I pretended to be very mighty everywhere I went, giving everyone the impression that I cared about saving face very much. However, that was precisely what I am lacking the most. I was the most shameless person in this world. I solemnly apologize to you for all the things that I have done. Sabrina, I, a shameless and uncivilized old man without any boundaries, solemnly apologize to you. I had bullied you because I had the power to do so back then. I am sorry."

After the old man apologized, he did not look at Sabrina.

Sabrina, however, took a deep breath. "Grandpa...! have forgiven you," she said, two rows of tears streamed down Sabrina's cheeks.

She was not such a heartless person. The old man was already dying soon, so why should fight with him?

"Oh, oh, I feel very...very happy. Very happy." Old Master Shaw suddenly became very happy. He also became more energetic. "

Sabrina, promise me something, alright?"

"Go ahead, Grandpa," said Sabrina.

"Take...Take good care...of...your mother. I have wronged your mother and your grandmother. After I die, you must take good care of your mother. Do you hear me? I...All of my properties...." old Master Shaw suddenly coughed while saying that.

"Grandpa, take it slowly. If you're tired, just take a rest."

"Dad..." Gloria was also covered in tears.

Old Master Shaw looked very gently at Gloria. After that, he continued speaking to Sabrina, "I have already discussed with your uncle, aunt, and Marcus. I want to give all of my inheritance, all of it, movable and immovable, to...you and your mother only..."

Sabrina frowned. "What did you say?"

Gloria was slightly surprised as well, she originally thought that Old Master Shaw might leave one-third of it to her, one-third of it to her son, and divide the remaining portion into three for his grandchildren. That was what Gloria had originally thought.

However, she had never expected that old Master Shaw would leave all of his properties to her.

"Dad!" Gloria was slightly apprehensive. "I don't know how to manage money and I can't spend so much on my own, so don't leave all of your inheritance to me. I...I can't spend it all."

"Silly child, there's no such thing as too much money in this world. Your brother and his wife, as well as your nephew, have given up the inheritance. I simply want to leave all of my properties to you..."

"I disagree!" Suddenly, an angry voice could be heard coming from outside.

Chapter 2334 The voice had stunned everyone present. Gloria and Sabrina were no exceptions. The man who entered looked similar to Marcus, but he seemed to be about eight years older than Marcus at a glance.

"Keegan?" Marcus called out in surprise. "Weren't your flight delayed? I thought you would be arriving in the afternoon.

How come you're home so soon? You should have called me when you arrived at the airport so I could go pick you guys up."

The last time Marcus' eldest brother returned to South City was five years ago. Five years had gone by in a blink of an eye. Time really flies. It is unexpected that their grandfather was on his deathbed when Marcus met his brother again.

Marcus could not help but feel emotional. He did not notice the anger on his brother's face at all, so he excitedly came to his brother's side. " Keegan, you're truly here just in time. Grandpa...will be leaving US very soon. It's fortunate that you still get to see him one last time before he passes. This is truly great, Keegan!"

The whole family was unable to even meet once within a few years. What kind of family is this?

Marcus had three older brothers, but he remembered that all three of his brothers had been sent abroad by his grandfather and father when he was still very young. Marcus' parents wanted to send him abroad as well back then, but Marcus was unwell during those couple of years. After he went abroad he got sick because he was unable to get used to the food there. As his parents had no other choice, they kept him at home. It was also because of this that his parents did not migrate. That was the situation in the Shaw family at that moment.

Excluding Gloria and Marcus' sisters-in-law, as well as their children, the Shaw family should have seven old and young members across three generations. It was reasonable to say that seven members across three generations truly were considered to be not very populated for a top-class noble family. However, this sparsely populated family was even scattered across the globe with some being in the country and some being abroad.

Marcus' parents and grandfather had always been living in South City, but they may occasionally have a short stay in Kidon city. Marcus' three older brothers had been attending elementary school all the way until college abroad since they were ten. Later on, they started their business abroad, and then they got married and had children there, of course, the Shaw family was a very traditional family, so their parents did not quite approve of the three brothers marrying girls from abroad. The three brothers were not interested in girls from abroad as well, so all three of Marcus' brothers married girls who came from the same background as them and spoke English fluently.

However, even so, the three brothers and their families had hardly ever returned to the country. During the festive seasons, Marcus' parents and old Master Shaw would be the ones going abroad occasionally to reunite with them. All three brothers were doing very well abroad. The eldest had his own financial group and the other two brothers also had their own achievements in their respective fields.

In fact, it was impossible for them, who came from such a family, to not have any achievements in their fields. The education the four children received since childhood, the things they received, and also the experiences they have gained were much broader than those of their peers. Such concepts had been established in the family since they were a child. Therefore, unless he was too stupid or too incompetent, it was impossible for the children who came from the family not to be successful. However, it just so happened that all of the children in the Shaw family were extremely gifted.

The eldest had businesses abroad that spread across the southern hemisphere, and it was enough to provide for the Shaw family for a few lifetimes without them doing anything. Even if the eldest did not have all these businesses abroad, the Shaw family still had their vast business supporting them. The foundation that both Marcus and his father had established in the county was also enough for the Shaw family to live very comfortably for a few lifetimes without needing to do anything. That was the reason why Old Master Shaw left all of his properties to Gloria without any worries at all. It was because he had people backing him up. Even if his only son did not live with the children who were living abroad and stayed in the country with Marcus, they would still be the top noble family. Therefore, old Master Shaw left all of his properties to his daughter. It was also considered as his compensation for his daughter, whom he had once hurt severely.

However, nobody would have expected that after old Master Shaw had discussed everything with his son, his grandson, and their wives, his eldest grandson returned from abroad at that juncture, and he unexpectedly did not agree for old Master Shaw to leave all of his properties to his aunt.

Chapter 2335 Old Master Shaw's eldest grandson, Keegan Shaw, completely ignored his younger brother who was greeting him. He did not even see the excitement and joy on his brother's face. Keegan simply came to Old Master Shaw with big strides. He did not even glance at Sabrina and Gloria, and he just said to Old Master Shaw, who was on the bed, "Grandpa, it's fortunate that I have gotten here in time, so you are not tricked. How could you make such a decision so rashly? You have already forgotten that you have been tricked twice! Grandpa, you're too soft-hearted!"

Old Master Shaw was speechless. His jaw was agape and he was very weak.

It was at that moment that Keegan saw Gloria and Sabrina. "Ladies, please step out for a moment. This is my family's matter.

Outsiders are not allowed to be involved."

In fact, Keegan had met Gloria and Sabrina once. It was five years ago. Keegan had returned from abroad, so old Master Shaw was very happy. He even especially asked Marcus to beg Gloria and Sabrina's family to have a meal with the Shaw family at a large restaurant. At that moment, Sabrina and Gloria were not very keen on attending. However, they did it for the sake of Marcus.

Marcus loved his aunt very much. His augment also treated him like her son. His aunt was not close to old Master Shaw, she was not close to anybody in the Shaw family but Marcus. Sabrina was the same as well. Therefore, they agreed to share a meal with the Shaw family.

During that gathering, Sabrina and Gloria did not say much the whole time. The three Shaw brothers also did not say much.

Marcus was the one who had spoken the most. At one moment, he asked Sabrina and Gloria, "Aunt Gloria, Sabrina, what would you like to have? 1'11 pass the dish to you? oh, yes, Sabrina, when you're not so busy with work in the future, you can bring Aunt Gloria to Keegan's place to play. He has a private island abroad. That island is covered in sunshine. You should go there when you're free."

When Keegan heard that, he remained expressionless as if he had not heard it. Gloria and Sabrina, on the other hand, also smiled and said nothing. That gathering was truly very awkward. Therefore, in the following days, when Marcus invited Sabrina and Gloria to have some activity with the Shaw family, Sabrina already took her mother back to their hometown in the mountains.

At that time, Sabrina gave Marcus an excuse by saying, "Marcus, it so happened that my father had passed away exactly twenty years ago. We had not been back to our hometown in the past few years. My mother kept dreaming of my father these days. We have to go back to our hometown and repair the mansion and repair my father's grave."

In actuality, Sabrina's hometown had long been demolished. Sabrina's father's ashes had also already been moved to South City.

It truly did not matter if the mother and daughter duo were to return to their hometown or not. They just needed an excuse. After they came back to South City half a month later, Marcus' three brothers had already gone back abroad. Everything was peaceful again.

That was the only time Gloria, Sabrina, and the other three sons of the Shaw family had met. They had never met each other since then. Perhaps Keegan and his other two brothers had never acknowledged that Gloria was their aunt in their hearts, otherwise, Keegan never would have addressed them as ladies and not addressed Gloria as Aunt Gloria.

When Gloria and Sabrina heard him addressing them that way, they were not too surprised. Gloria, in particular, smiled and said very politely, "Alright. My daughter and I should not be involved in the Shaw family's affairs, to begin with."

After saying that, she dragged Sabrina and headed out.

"What? What are you talking about? The Shaw family? Are you not a Shaw? You have no conscience!" Keegan suddenly got angry with Gloria.

Chapter 2336 When Sabrina heard Keegan saying that, she got so angry that she laughed. Keegan was the one who drove her and her mother away. He was the one who called them outsiders and said that he wanted to have a discussion with his family. Her mother was just going along with what he said, and he attacked her mother like that?

"Keegan, how can you be so rude?" Sabrina said calmly, with her upbringing and her character, which has always been calm, Sabrina was very capable of keeping her composure. However, keeping her composure did not mean that she would just put up with anything.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?" Keegan immediately attacked Sabrina angrily and he absolutely was not going to give in. "This family had already been through so much because of the two of you. The more unjustified your status, the lesser right you have to speak. Yet, you are so troublesome! With me around, I will not let you create any trouble! II Sabrina was speechless, she was so pissed that she laughed.

"Keegan!" At that moment, Marcus got angry instead. After he called out to Keegan, he turned around and comforted Sabrina, "

Sabrina, for my sake, just endure it for the moment. Take care of Aunt Gloria. I'm sorry. I will handle the matter regarding my brother."

After saying that, Marcus came to Keegan again. "Keegan! You've gone too far! Aunt Gloria is our aunt! This is a relationship by blood that could be identified through tests! Also, there is no doubt that Sabrina is Aunt Gloria's biological daughter! Aunt Gloria and Sabrina are part of our family! She is our father's biological sister! Just like US, Keegan!"

"Marcus!" Keegan sneered and looked at Marcus. "Marcus, you should know it best why our grandparents and parents sent the three of US abroad! That was not only because the education and everything else abroad were great. That was not the only reason! No matter how great the education was abroad, South city and Kidon City have everything that they have abroad! Why must we go abroad then? When we went abroad, your two older brothers and I couldn't get used to their food there. There was a year when the three of US were so hungry that we lost a few dozen kilograms in a year! The three of US did not do well in the first few years we went abroad! It was not too much to say that life was torture then.

However, why didn't we let you go abroad? That's because you're the youngest in the family. Our parents and grandparents, including your three brothers, love you the best! It was because your body was weak and we didn't want you to suffer like us!

Therefore, the entire family had unanimously decided to keep you at home and let you stay by our parents' and grandparents' side!"

"Keegan, I know. I know all about what you said. I have been enjoying all of our parents' and grandparents' love by myself. I have always been very grateful to the three of you for all these. However, what does that have to do with Aunt Gloria and Sabrina?

They are indeed our family, Keegan," Marcus earnestly asked Keegan.

Keegan took a look at Gloria and Sabrina, and then he sneered again. "Hmph! what does it have to do with them? of course, it has something to do with them! Not only does it have something to do with them, but it also has more to do with you! You have the biggest responsibility!"

"You..." He held back his anger very helplessly. "Keegan! What are you talking about?"

"These are words that show no mercy! These are words that could wake you up! Wake up, Marcus!" Marcus's eldest brother continued scolding him, "Marcus! Let me ask you something. You knew how much the family loves you. We didn't let you suffer abroad and we let you be loved by our parents and grandparents, but you are already a grown adult now! You're in your thirties and you're the only young and strong person in the family! You should be shouldering the responsibility of watching over and protecting the entire Shaw family! what did you do instead? What have you done in the past few years? You found a cousin of some sort, and then you found our aunt or something like that. In the past few years, the Shaw family's business has not grown in your hands, but you kept adding members to the family! If you want to expand the family, you should be getting yourself a wife and have a grandson or granddaughter for parents and grandpa. That will also make US all very happy. But what did you do?

what are these people? Do you even know what kind of people they were before you brought them home?"

Chapter 2337 "It is evident that the people that you had brought home are indecent. See it for yourself, what kind of behavior is this?

You brought them home, but they were not polite to you at all! They want to take away all of the properties left behind by our forefathers! They want to ruin the entire Shaw family! Marcus! If I came any later and the entire Shaw family has been emptied by them, do you think you will be able to face the forefathers of the Shaw family?"

Those words were spoken with great justification. Even the forefathers were mentioned.

"They are not outsiders!" Marcus got annoyed. He stressed again. " Gloria and Sabrina are our closest relatives!

Besides, Sabrina is not short of money at all! The Ford Group has more properties than you and I combined! They are not lacking money at all!"

"Is that so? They don't lack money?" Keegan sneered and glanced at Sabrina. His gaze was especially disdainful.

There was a pause before he said again, "Sabrina! Gloria! Don't think the entire Shaw family is yours after you have bewitched my parents, my grandfather, and my brother! I, Keegan Shaw, am still not a fool! Before I returned to the country, I had already done a great deal of investigation of both of you!

"You! You're Sabrina, right? You had been boarding with the Lynn family since you were twelve, but you bit the hands that fed you. You have torn apart the entire Lynn family. The three members of the Lynn family are all in the detention center now! They are almost insane now, but what about you? You had received help from them for eight years! From junior high to college, you have been spending the Lynn family's money. Not only did you not repay their kindness, but you bit the hands that fed you! You ruined their family! Could it be that after you have ruined the Lynn family, you want to ruin the Shaw family?"

Sabrina sneered while looking at the man named Keegan Shaw, she did not say a single word and just waited silently for Keegan to finish what he had to say.

Keegan looked at Sabrina's mother, Gloria. "You as well, old hag! Before you appeared, our family was great and harmonious! The Shaw family truly was the example of a family with a good upbringing in South City! After you appeared, not only did my brother bring a nonsense girlfriend home, but my grandfather, who is already so old, had to keep going to you all day long. You, on the other hand, couldn't even say caring words to my grandfather at all! Is that something that a daughter should have done? Gloria Shaw, may I know if you have the least bit of sincerity at all?"

"Keegan!" At that moment, his father also came over and scolded Keegan. "Keegan! She is indeed your aunt!"

"No! She is the daughter of a mistress, a vixen, and a woman who had infuriated my grandmother! She had never been a part of the Shaw family and had never served my grandfather! On the contrary, she often made my grandfather angry, she had almost pissed my grandfather to death and she is openly here to take all of the family properties? what difference does she and James, the one who had just been arrested and thrown into prison, have? I think this matter is not so simple at all! James is now in prison. Sabrina had once been imprisoned for many years! My aunt is the first person to have contact with James! They clearly belong to the same gang. They are in cahoots with each other! They want to ruin the Shaw family—"

Before Keegan finished his sentence, he received a solid slap to his face. Sabrina's hand was in pain from slapping him. she shook her hand and said coldly to Keegan, "If you humiliate my mother again like this, I will kill you!"

Chapter 2338 Keegan looked at Sabrina in disbelief. "You slapped me? You actually slapped me? I am more than a decade older than you!

This is my house. How dare you slap me here?"

He had been used to being all high and mighty. He had always been highly respected when he was abroad. No one had ever slapped him. He had never expected that he would actually be slapped by a woman ten years younger than him after he had returned to the country and to his own home. Also, she was a woman who had attempted to take away all of the Shaw family's property.

Sabrina sneered. "So what if I have slapped you? You're a person who thinks that you're the only human while others are all bullshit perverts! I simply want to slap you up! Not only have 1 slapped you, but I also want to take away all of Old Master Shaw's properties! Ĩ won't leave a single bit of it for you at all!"

"You!" Keegan felt that he had met a robber.

Sabrina continued to sneer. "My mother and Ĩ were originally planning to give it up. However, we're not giving it up because of you but because of your brother instead. In fact, your brother and your parents also did not intend to take these properties. Since this is the case, Mom, why don't we just accept it."

Gloria also smiled. "Sure. This money is supposed to be my mother's anyway."

Both the mother and daughter duo turned around and wanted to return to Old Master Shaw's bedside.

Keegan was so angered that he was trembling all over. "All of you! Are you going to let these two outsiders harm our family like that? Dad, Mom, you have been bewitched! Bewitched, do you know that? These two women, these two outsiders, want to cheat Grandpa and take away all of our family's properties! Dad, Mom! Marcus!"

Both his parents sighed sorrowfully. Marcus glared at his brother and was so angry that he was unable to say anything anymore.

Seeing that his parents and brother were so indifferent, Keegan went to pull Gloria, "stop right there! Don't make another move!

I'll call the police now! Not only did you act so arrogantly in my house, you even slapped me! I am a civilized person. I will not stoop to your level! However, I will handle this matter seriously!"

"Keegan..." Old Master Shaw, who was on the bed in the inner room, heard everything clearly. Tears were streaming down his face as he called out his eldest grandson's name. Keegan did not hear him at all. He was too busy arguing with Sabrina and Gloria.

Sabrina did not submit to him as well. "Keegan, listen to me carefully! If you want to call the police, get them to your house, and disturb the peace of Old Master Shaw's final moments, I can't control you! However, please listen carefully to me as well! You're right! You're a civilized person! However, don't you, a civilized person, forget that there are no unreasonable people in this house as well! Why did I slap you? If you don't know it in your heart, then I'll tell you right now!"

"Alright, alright! Very well! Go on!" Keegan was so angry that his lips turned purple.

"Ever since you walked through the door, you said that my mother and I are outsiders and are people who came to mess up your family. Since you said that, since you said we are outsiders, you don't acknowledge that we are a part of the Shaw family at all!

Since that is the case, is it wrong for my mother and me to leave? But what did you say? You said that my mother's last name is Shaw and she is Old Master Shaw's daughter! If that is not a double standard, what is? When it's about dividing up the money, my mother is an outsider. She absolutely can't touch a single penny of the Shaw family's money at all. However, when it's time to care for the old man, my mother has to be a member of the Shaw family and has to care for him. Is that right? Is that what you mean, Keegan?"

"That's right!" Keegan sneered. He absolutely did not realize how strange his thoughts were and how unreasonable he was behaving.

Instead, he looked at Gloria with great contempt, "since my grandfather had given birth to you and had given you your life, you have to be grateful to him! If he hadn't given you the Shaw family name, would you have such a noble identity? Not only were you not grateful, but you're even thinking about how to take a share of the Shaw family's properties! Since ancient times, have you seen a child of a mistress, especially a daughter, was able to get a share of the family's properties? Have you seen it before?"

Chapter 2340 Gloria was absolutely unyielding. "Yes, I am my father's daughter, and you are already in another generation, so you are an outsider!"

Keegan was speechless. He turned his head around to look at his parents. His parents only sighed sorrowfully without saying anything.

"Dad! I remembered that Grandma had been telling US since childhood that Grandpa had kept a vixen out there. Grandpa had actually already turned over a new leaf, but that vixen still kept harassing Grandpa all the time. My grandma! My grandma used to have such good health, why did she die at the age of sixty? My grandma was pissed to death by that woman! That woman truly was hard to shake off! Grandpa had clearly told her that he would never want her and would never take her into the family!

But what did the woman do? she kept pestering him! she had pestered my grandpa his whole life, and she finally killed my grandma with her pestering. That woman is gone now, but it's her daughter's turn to continue pestering our family, she actually even wants to take away all of Grandpa's properties! Dad, do we owe her anything? No, we don't. It's her and her mother who had owed it to our family!" 2 Keegan said that confidently as he thought his argument was justified. Old Master Shaw kept coughing on the bed. The old man had been holding himself back until his face was completely reddened, but he was unable to say a thing for a very long while.

Seeing that Keegan had temporarily stopped, old Master Shaw, who had been holding it in for a very long time, raised his haggard hand and shouted, "Keegan, don't argue anymore. Keegan...your aunt and your cousin are right. They...they had never pestered me before. Gloria's mother...was a very good woman, she had an incurable disease but was always positive. Her paintings are very artistic. She is a woman who protects herself and her reputation very well. She had been very pure and indifferent toward fame and wealth all her life, and she had lived a very pleasing life, when she was young, she made quite a number of friends abroad even though she was sick.

"Her paintings were artworks depicting the pains in this world. Her authentic paintings are now something that is very hard to find for many people. I have twenty of her paintings with me, and each of them is worth more than a million dollars. One of her paintings already has an estimated market value of tens of millions. She is not a world-renowned artist, but her artworks are very powerful. She was a very talented person. Her talents were something I..." At that moment, old Master Shaw had cried so hard that he stopped talking.

There was endless remorse in the cries of the old man. The remorse seemed to be saying that no matter how much he cried, there was no do-over for that vibrant life anymore. Everything was his fault. Also, this was a mistake that he would never be able to compensate for anymore.

It was after he cried for a while that Old Master Shaw continued, I was the one who had violated her. I have ruined her life, but I kept refusing to admit that. I kept thinking that she was the one who had been sticking tightly to me and wouldn't leave me alone.

I even unintentionally passed on these ideas to you, the next generation. The sins I've committed truly are too great. Oh...," said Old Master Shaw, panting as he was out of breath. 2 After saying that, he raised his hand again and called out, "All of you come over here. Everybody come over."

"Grandpa...," called out Keegan as he ran over.

"Grandpa!" Marcus looked at his grandpa while feeling incomparably heartbroken.

"Dad! Dad, are you alright?" Marcus's Father knelt before his father and burst out crying.

"All of you...I have to say something in front of all of you today. Keegan, your other two brothers are not here yet, so you'll be their representative. I have to declare once again in front of all of you that your grandfather, me, had wronged Gloria's mother."
