Ch. 2341..2350

Chapter 2341 "I've failed Gloria even more. Sabrina is right. Ever since your aunt was bom, I have not fulfilled my responsibility as a father to her. Even if Gloria's mother was in the wrong, the child is still innocent, much less her mother is not wrong. Gloria is innocent.

However, as her father, I was willing to raise someone else's child, treasure her, and love her like a princess, but I treated Gloria like a piece of garbage. I ignored her and I was even incredibly disgusted by her. As her father, the harm and trauma I have caused during her childhood are irreversible for life. As her father, even if I were to die a hundred times, I am still too ashamed to face my forefathers and also Gloria's mother. I often thought that after I've gone to the Great Beyond, if my forefathers asked me, 'Why did you treat your own flesh and blood like this? You gave birth to her but you didn't raise her. Are you still a father? People like you have brought shame to the Shaw family. You didn't even raise your own daughter, yet you keep crushing her at every turn. You are not even worthy of being a human! Don't come over here! The Shaw family will not accept you!'" said old Master Shaw. His face was filled with despair and misery.

He wiped his tears before he continued, "I truly am very afraid that I will end up in hell and will be punished. However, it's useless to be afraid, I have to take responsibility for the things that I have done. No matter what kind of severe punishment I will be getting in the future, that is what I deserved. Now, I just want to tell all of you clearly, all of the stipends and bonuses that I have not used up in my life, the things that were left behind by our forefather, as well as the artworks that Gloria's mother had left with me, are all Gloria's. Marcus, Keegan, your father has already given up the inheritance. All these of mine belonged to your aunt.

You indeed have no right to have a hand in this!"

What he said made Keegan speechless. He looked at his father, mother, and also his brother, Marcus, with resentment.

However, his parents did not have any issues with it at all.

"Dad!" Keegan called out.

Keegan's father then said, "Keegan! There's actually not much to your grandfather's properties and it's only more than one billion in total. Even by law, half of it is also your aunt's. Besides, your grandfather indeed had not fulfilled his responsibility of raising your aunt. He did not even care for her at all. The damage he had caused her can't even be measured in terms of money. Also, there's also the compensation for her mother among this. Also, all the things that her mother left behind should go to her as well.

The Shaw family's business, my business, and also Marcus' business are the big properties, why must you fight with your aunt?

she is your aunt. She is your relative."

"No! I will never acknowledge her as my aunt!" Keegan looked at Gloria and sneered.

To him, a person that has been living abroad all year long, he felt that his family was saying all that because they were all bewitched by Gloria and her daughter, so they were out of their mind.

"Gloria Shaw! Sabrina Scott! I am here, so don't you think of getting your way!"

"You...Keegan! You've gone too far!" Old Master Shaw raised his arm and without much strength, he pointed at Keegan. His face got redder and redder and his face became maroon in color.

Old Master Shaw just glared at his eldest grandson like that. He glared at him for a very long time and his expression was filled with rage but also helplessness. He had worked so hard to send his eldest grandson abroad for the best education, and he had also given him endless properties to let him start his business abroad. Only then did his eldest grandson has such a successful business abroad. He had experienced many things and was very open- minded, but why could he not stand a relative of his? Till death, Old Master Shaw just could not make sense of it. Old Master Shaw's hand suddenly dropped. He did not even shut his eyes and he passed away.

"Dad..." His son who was kneeling by his bedside suddenly let out a loud cry.

Gloria could not help but kneel. "Dad..."

Chapter 2342 Gloria had always been very reluctant in addressing him as Dad. She had always felt that they were not close, so she could not bring herself to say it. Even if she no longer hated him, she still was unable to do it. However, when the dying old man really passed away, only then did Gloria suddenly realize that she no longer has a father anymore.

A father was something that she has always wanted all her life but has never gotten it. One day, when she had become incredibly strong herself, and no longer needed a father anymore, her father, who was gradually getting older, came to her instead. At that time, Gloria was caught off guard. She was not mentally prepared for it at all. She was feeling more of a resistance, discomfort, hate, and so on. In short, there was no love, she thought that she no longer needed a father anymore in her life, she truly no longer needed one. Her father appearing in front of her would only remind her of the endless pain. Therefore, she has never acknowledged him. Even though she no longer hated him anymore later on, she still could not bring herself to love him. she was very stubborn.

However, at that moment, her father truly had passed away. When Gloria realized he no longer would be standing by outside her door and watching her from afar, it suddenly hit her that she no longer has a father anymore. All the love and hatred disappeared along with the moment the old man's hand dropped. They no longer exist anymore. However, she also thoroughly became a daughter without a father anymore. In the future, nobody would be watching her from afar, caring for her safety, and calling out to her from afar, "Gloria, it's fine for me as long as I know that you're safe."

Nobody would treat her like that anymore.

Gloria suddenly threw her head back and wailed. "Dad! Dad! Don't die! I want to call you Dad...I have agreed to call you Dad. I will no longer get angry at you anymore. Dad, come back alive, alright? Come back to the land of the living.

Dad, you have not attended my dance competitions. Dad, you still haven't sat in a hall and watched me perform my own piano recital. I play the piano very, very well. Also, my paintings are just as good as my mother's. Dad, you still haven’t celebrated my birthday with me before... Dad, don't die."

That had expressed the misery and longing Gloria had her whole life.

Gloria's brother held her from behind her. "Gloria, don't cry. Dad is no longer in the future, but you still have me and your nephews. You are a member of this family. In the future, I will be by your side on your birthday every year. Don't be sad anymore, Gloria..."

Gloria raised her gaze and looked at her brother in front of her who was like a stranger to her. when she saw him, she would be reminded of the moment he kicked her so hard that she landed somewhere very far away. That kind of fear was something that could never be eliminated for life. Gloria thought to herself, how long would it take for a person to trust another person? she had hated her father all her life. Her father used six years to stand outside her house watching over her without fail regardless of the hardships, and it was only at the moment he died that her emotional walls had completely been torn down. What about her brother at that moment?

Gloria looked at her brother in a daze. She suddenly felt they have all gotten aged. Her father has died of old age. she was already more than 50 years old while her brother was already pushing 70. How much hatred should be borne by a person throughout a lifetime? It should not be like that. No matter how unbearable the past was, that was already all in the past. At that moment, her father and brother truly regretted their actions. Her brother did not stand guard outside of her house every day as her father did, but he took the initiative to give up their father's inheritance. It was not much, but it was still more than a billion dollars or so.

That was enough to show that her brother treated her as his family.

Forget it then. Let the bygones be bygones.

"Oliver, my brother..." Gloria looked at her brother with tears in her eyes.

"Gloria..."

Chapter 2343 "Gloria, don't be sad anymore. From now on, I will also be your family." Her brother's wife was also incomparably emotional.

She was considered to be an outsider in the Shaw family. However, ever since she married into the Shaw family, she had been getting along very well with everyone in the family and was very united with them. Later on, when her sister and her husband were involved in a plane crash, old Master Shaw even brought up the idea of taking in her sister's orphan and raising her as the lady of the Shaw family. That also showed that Old Master Shaw was actually not a particularly bad person. It was just that many of his concepts were wrong and he was too self-centered. It was because of these flaws that he caused her own biological daughter to suffer out there.

"I don't know what had happened in the past. I have only heard bits and pieces of it from Marcus, your brother, and Old Master Shaw. However, after I have heard about all that, I know that you must have suffered a lot. Even Sabrina has also suffered along with you. All of these are the Shaw family's fault. When I heard about those things, I could not help but cry at night. Gloria, I really feel very sorry for you. In the future, I will care for you..."

She hugged Gloria, crying. She really felt very sorry for Gloria, even if Gloria and her husband were only half-siblings. Gloria was proud and righteous, and she had never wanted anything from the Shaw family, she was more than fifty years old, but she was self- reliant. Also, she was great in music and arts. The Shaw family must have been blinded to treat a woman like Jennie as a treasure and support her for life. In the end, Jennie brought her daughter, Lori, back and wreaked havoc. What about the daughter of the Shaw family? she had always been a highly-principled person.

That was enough to see how righteous of her person her mother was back then.

This was especially clear when Gloria cooperated with the police and destroyed such a large criminal gang. She went deep into the lion's den alone, had a battle of wits and guts with the criminal gang, and avenged so many people by ensuring justice was served. This kind of act of bravery had only been done by Gloria's mother before. Gloria’s mother was this brave when she was young. That was why she risked her life to save old Master Shaw's life. Only then did old Master Shaw manage to achieve great achievements in the military. Only then did the Shaw family get such glory. Gloria's mother was the true benefactor of the Shaw family! Gloria was the true and proper lady of the Shaw family! Gloria's sister-in-law hugged her and both the women cried together.

Gloria felt a sense of warmth. "Paige, in the future.,.1 will visit Dad's grave together with all of you. I will come by and hang out with all of you more often in the future. In the show that was broadcasted on television not long ago, the girl and her sister-in- law had a great relationship. The girl, her brother, and her brother's wife in the show spent the rest of their sunset years together. I will cry every time I see such a scene. Paige, you and my brother will be my closest family from now on."

"Mm-hmm..." Her sister-in-law nodded her head with all her might.

Seeing her mother so relieved, Sabrina, who was next to her, could not help but be covered in tears. The symbol of the Shaw family and their pride and glory had passed away at that moment, but the members of the Shaw family still had to stay strong and continue living. It was already not bad for things to turn out this way. At the very least, Sabrina's mother will not be so lonely in life anymore from then on. As for the matter of having the right to the inheritance or not, it did not matter. After all, her mother had never been a person who spent a lot of money. Sabrina and her children have the large family properties of the Ford Group to support them, so Sabrina also would not care about these billions of dollars, much less desire the properties.

"Uncle Oliver and Aunt Paige, let's hold a grand funeral together for Grandpa." Since her mother has reconciled with her brother and his wife, of course, Sabrina would support her mother's decision. Sabrina then became very active.

Marcus, who was at the side, was also active. "Alright. Let's hold a grand funeral together for Grandpa."

"Alright, alright! Very well! Both of you have truly put on a perfect show. Not only have you cheated my grandpa, but even my parents have been bewitched by you! However, I will never let you get your way! Don't forget that I still have two other brothers!"

said Keegan as he gritted his teeth behind them.

"Yes! There's US as well! The three of US will never let the two of you get your way!" Somehow, the other two brothers, Caelus Shaw and Lokni Shaw, were also standing outside the room.

Chapter 2344 The Shaw family had been a top family in South city for decades in terms of having good family traditions and all other aspects. Even though Old Master Shaw had also made all kinds of mistakes in his life, failed a good woman, and ruined her life, all of the righteous acts that he had done and also the protection he had given to the country still covered up all of his mistakes. He was still admired by many.

However, Old Master Shaw would never expect that his family would be so broken up after he had passed away. He and his wife, as well as his youngest grandson and his wife, were in favor of being as close as a family with Gloria and Sabrina. They felt that they must treat Gloria and Sabrina as their closest family for the rest of their lives.

On the other hand, his other three grandsons, who had been living abroad all year long, were not willing to do so. In the eyes of these three grandsons, Gloria and Sabrina were two women who barged into the Shaw family very abruptly.

The sight of the two of them made them feel incomparably disgusted. They desperately wanted to immediately drive Gloria and Sabrina away. However, because they had been used to being high and mighty and also being respected by others, they were self-centered in the way they think about everything. Therefore, they think that since Gloria was Old Master Shaw's illegitimate daughter, Gloria had to humble herself and care for the old man. After that, she also had to be grateful to everyone in the Shaw family because they have the Shaw family name.

'You, Gloria, should feel honored. You're an illegitimate daughter. Of course, you can't get any properties. Therefore, you just fuck off. No! During the festive seasons, you still have to come back and fulfill your responsibility in caring for the Shaw family.' That was what the three sons, who had been living abroad all their lives, as well as their wives had in mind, of course, they would not treat their friends from abroad like that. However, they are back in the country. The conservative mindset in the country had been like that since a few years ago, so surely, the mindset could not be changed in the Shaw family as well! The child given birth by a mistress would be an illegitimate child! She was born to be inferior to others.

There was great tension between both parties with different stances. Marcus' parents, as well Marcus and Yvonne, were in an incomparably difficult position being sandwiched in between the two parties. Old Master Shaw's body was still laying in the living room, but the three brothers were eyeing Gloria and Sabrina with immense disgust.

Gloria was soft-hearted, after all. She and Sabrina looked at each other, and then she smiled as she looked at her three nephews. " Alright, I'm taking the initiative to give up the inheritance of old Master Shaw's properties. I have never intended to want it, to begin with. I am already so old. what's the use of having so much money? If I have more money in my hands, maybe others would covet it, so it might not be a good thing instead. How about this? Your whole family has reunited, so it's the perfect time to discuss Dad's funeral arrangements. Oliver, if you need anything, you can call me again. I will be there for the old man's wake and when he is being sent to the crematorium. Also, I will not miss out on a single penny for the contribution to the old man's funeral. Oliver, I'll first take my leave."

When both parties have different stances, one of them has to back down. Surely, they could not just let Old Master Shaw's body be kept there, right? Seeing that Gloria was so forgiving, her brother and his wife, as well as Marcus, were very grateful.

"Gloria, don't be bothered by the three of them. They had been living abroad for a very long time, so they didn't know about the situation in our family." Paige held Gloria's hands to apologize to her.

Gloria nodded. "I know."

After saying that, she returned around to look at Sabrina. "Sabrina, let's leave and let them have their family reunion and discuss the funeral arrangements. When the time comes, we'll come over again."

"Alright, Mom." Sabrina had never been a person who liked trouble. As long as her mother wanted to back down, she would give her mother her full support. Her aim was just not to let her mother be bullied. She did not care about the money at all.

Just as the mother and daughter wanted to leave the Shaw Residence, the three brothers blocked them at the door.

The eldest was the first to say, "Are you scared?"

Gloria was both angered and amused as she looked at her eldest nephew. "Keegan, what the hell do you want? You said we coveted the Shaw family's properties. We don't want it anymore. We can't be coveting the properties now, can't we?"

Chapter 2345 "Now, we’ll do as you guys say about this funeral arrangement. If you need me to come over, I'll come cover, what more do you want?"

"Your attitude just now was not like that. You and your daughter had unreasonably made a scene just now! Your daughter even slapped me! I now seriously suspect that you didn't expect it just now that the three of US would be so united. Do you think you'll be able to take control of the entire Shaw family with just the two of you? What a joke! Now that you see that something is wrong, you want to leave immediately? Dream on! Listen up, Gloria Shaw!

Your daughter had slapped me. I can't just let that go! I'm going to call the police! Also, you have to clarify each and every filthy deed you and your criminal gang had done in front of US, the Shaw family, and also the police! My grandfather was old and senile, so he is easily fooled! However, there are still other people in the Shaw family! The Shaw family still has my brothers and me, the three of US. We certainly will be able to make the tradition that our family upholds great again! When the police are here and everything is cleared up, if you are guilty and you're the accomplice of that criminal gang, I will first bail you out of detention to let you attend Grandpa's funeral! since you are carrying the Shaw family name, you should be here mourning for Grandpa! If you are also able to clarify in front of the police that you're not working in cahoots with that gang, you also have to take their mistake as a warning for yourself! You have to remember this! The children of the Shaw family are absolutely not allowed to be involved with indecent people out there! Since the Shaw family has acknowledged you as the daughter of this family, you have to be honest and behave yourself in the future! You have to serve my parents for the rest of your life and watch your own actions!

Also, if your daughter wanted to have a place in the Shaw family, she should restrain her robber-like character, otherwise, I will let her be back into a corner with no way out at all in the future!"

"Bullshit!" As soon as Keegan finished his words, an explosive voice of a woman could be heard coming from this end.

It was neither Gloria nor Sabrina. Instead, it was the person who had not been saying anything, had been unwilling to participate in this matter, and had been standing behind Marcus. It was Yvonne who had an explosive outburst of anger.

Yvonne was not a pampered child from an eminent family, but she grew up in a loving family, she was loved by her parents, as well as her uncle and aunt. Even her cousin, Kingston, loved her very much as well, she had been a young lady who lived in a happy and well-to-do family since childhood, she had never seen any noble families. However, she had always been very carefree. Also, she grew up with a straightforward character and had never had any ill- will. It was after she met Sabrina that she had seen the scheming and fighting within a wealthy and eminent family.

The young lady did not have any wild ambitions, she never flattered nor fawned over people in high places. Also, she was filled with a sense of justice. That was also the reason she was able to have a shrew like Ruth in the palm of her hand, and became best friends with Sabrina and Ruth. In the tug of war between Gloria and Sabrina as well as the family, Yvonne had always been able to see everything very clearly. She knew it best that Gloria had always been very generous. Gloria disliked old Master Shaw so much, but she loved Marcus very much, as well as his wife, Yvonne.

To be very honest, the most expensive diamond and gold necklace that Yvonne was wearing was a birthday gift from Gloria, which was worth nearly a million dollars. Even Marcus' parents had never even Yvonne such a valuable gift. Yvonne knew it very well that Gloria and Sabrina did not owe the Shaw family anything. These three Shaw brothers, on the other hand, had never contributed anything to the Shaw family. They had never fulfilled their responsibility of caring for the family at all. They were the ones without any conscience and had been cowering abroad, yet, they were acting all arrogant here.

"Aunt Gloria, Sabrina, let's go. I will leave with you guys! We'll come again when these three assholes have left!"

After saying that, Yvonne directly stood with Gloria and Sabrina.

Chapter 2346 She looked at the three Shaw brothers firmly. "I should be polite to you as you're Marcus' brothers, but I have to tell you guys that you're absolutely disgusting! The three of you hardly ever return to the country once in a few years. You have never taken care of the elders in the family! You have also never cared about the family! Who are you and what right do you have to be boss people around here? What year are we in now? You're still talking about illegitimate children or not? Keegan, don't tell me that you're actually a person from ancient times who came here through time travel! If that's the case, then it's better for you to just travel back in time!"

"You..." Keegan was so pissed that he was struggling to breathe for a very long time. "Marcus, what kind of wife did you marry?

Is this even an acceptable wife?"

"Why am I not acceptable?" Yvonne did not back down at all. She came to Marcus, raised her hand, and wrapped it around Marcus' arm. "Marcus and I are great together. We have a very foundation in our relationship. Also, I have to tell you that the person who matched Marcus and me up is Sabrina. I was Sabrina's friend before I met Marcus. Also, I am simply a commoner and my family is so poor that we're practically impoverished. However, no matter how poor I am, I also knew that Aunt Gloria is Grandpa Shaw's biological daughter! Illegitimate or not! Aunt Gloria's mother is also a great benefactor to your entire Shaw family! since Aunt Gloria is the daughter of the Shaw family, she will have the right to the inheritance!

"Keegan Shaw, no matter what wild nonsense you say, you're nothing from a legal perspective! Also, you want to call the police over to interrogate Aunt Gloria about all those matters, don't you? Great! If Aunt Gloria was found innocent after the interrogation, and if not only was she innocent, but she even made a great contribution, may I know, Keegan, should you be kneeling before her and admit your mistakes?"

"You..." He was so pissed by Yvonne that he could not say anything, so looked at Marcus with exasperation. "Marcus! This is the good wife that you have gotten for yourself. Look at her!

Sabrina was the one who introduced her to you, didn't she? They are all so shameful! This is the Shaw family's affairs, what right does she, a woman who had just married into the family, have to have a say in these things? Marcus, you... You guys... I finally understood now. Sabrina and Gloria are simply malignant tumors! They really have slowly infiltrated the Shaw family. I finally understood now that the first person they tackled was you, Marcus. They first used a woman to charm your heart. You then persuaded our parents, and finally, Grandpa. Marcus, what the hell have you done in these ten years when your brothers are not in the country? Are you trying to ruin this family?"

"That's enough!" Marcus looked at her eldest brother with two bloodshot eyes filled with rage.

Keegan did not dare to say anything after Marcus roared at him.

"Are you going to let Grandpa have a funeral or not?" Marcus asked an incredibly practical question.

Keegan nodded, "of course!"

"Then, let's first put this matter to rest!" Marcus suppressed the anger within him and said, "We can't let Grandpa's body be kept here. We'll first have the funeral for Grandpa. We'll talk about other things after the funeral."

Keegan was speechless. The decision that his brother made was not wrong at all. Keegan was at a loss for words. It was after a long while that he said, "Fine."

After that, he looked at Sabrina and Gloria, "Then, what should we do with these two women?"

Chapter 2347 Marcus finally had an outburst of rage. "Deal, deal, deal with them! You only know about dealing with others! who are we to deal with them?"

After saying that, Marcus did not wait for his three brothers to say anything, and he just looked at Gloria and Sabrina. "Aunt Gloria, Sabrina, I'm really sorry that you have to see this. I'm really very sorry for this mess, but Grandpa's body can't be kept here now.

Why don't..."

"We'll first take our leave." Gloria was still the one who had given in. She had suddenly figured it all out at the moment her father passed away. There was no need to make a fuss about anything.

Every additional loved one in life counts. At that moment, it was already not bad for her to have her brother and his wife, as well as her nephew as her family. For the sake of her youngest nephew, her brother, and his wife, Gloria had to take a step up. That was not a big deal, to begin with.

"I will go over and send the old man off one last time when he is being sent to the crematorium. I will come over again for his wake. It's fine. Marcus, if you need anything, just give Sabrina a call." Gloria comforted Marcus instead.

Marcus nodded. "Thank you, Aunt Gloria"

"We're leaving now." After saying that, Gloria and Sabrina walked out together.

"Wait for me." Yvonne came over and she grabbed Gloria's arm. " Aunt Gloria, I will go back together with you."

After that, Yvonne turned around to look at Marcus. "Marcus, you'll be in charge of Grandpa Shaw's funeral, and I'll be in charge of comforting Aunt Gloria. I can't let her suffer such grievances from the Shaw family for nothing." After saying that, Yvonne even glared at the three Shaw brothers with an incredibly tough gaze.

"You..." Keegan was so angry that he glared at Yvonne with his eyes widened.

Marcus did not say much. He just nodded. "That works too. We'll give each other a call if there's anything else."

"Alright."

Gloria then brought Sabrina and Yvonne along with her, and the three of them left the Shaw Residence together. The drama then came to a temporary end.

After Gloria walked out of the entrance of the Shaw Residence, Gloria burst into tears, she looked at her daughter. "I no longer have a father anymore?"

Sabrina comforted her mother. "Mom, you still have me. You Aino and her brothers. You have loved ones."

"Actually, he had always cared for me in the past few years, and he had always been silently loving me. He had actually been religiously making amends for his wrongdoings." Gloria was extremely regretful.

"Mom, don't be sad." Sabrina comforted her mother.

"Aunt Gloria, let's first go home."

Gloria shook her head. "Both of you may first go home. I want to kneel here for a while to mourn. The person who died is my biological father. He is the one who gave me my life. He once treated me very badly, but he had repented for so many years in the latter years of his life. As his biological daughter, I should mourn for him. I will kneel here till nightfall, then I'll go home." She kept thinking that she should be mourning him.

Sabrina could not persuade and comfort her mother any further. She was thinking if she did not let her mother kneel here to mourn for her grandfather, her mother might regret it for the rest of her life. She may never be able to let go in the remaining years of her life.

"Alright mom. We'll do as you say. Sebastian and I will come and pick you up at night," Sabrina said.

Sebastian had a very important meeting at the company that day. He originally wanted to follow along to visit old Master Shaw, but he was unable to excuse himself from work. At that moment, Sebastian still did not know that Old Master Shaw had already departed this life.

Yvonne was the one who drove while they were on their way back, so Sabrina gave Sebastian a call, "old Master Shaw has passed away.

II There was a long moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

It was after a long while that Sebastian said, "I will finish up the matters here as soon as possible. I will go there as soon as I have handled everything."

"There's no need for that, Sebastian. All three of Marcus' brothers have returned. They will handle the funeral arrangements.

We...we just need to come and pick my mom up later at night."

On the other end of the phone, Sebastian was a little shocked. After all, the Ford family and the Shaw family were inextricably connected. Both families have been friends for generations. Old Master Shaw was the person who had once helped Grace, and he was also Sabrina's grandfather. No matter what, Sebastian had intended to stay by his side to mourn him.

"What happened?" Sebastian asked.

Chapter 2348 Sabrina smiled. "It's nothing. It's just that my three cousins of the Shaw family did not really want to let my mother be a part of the family, but they wanted her to observe mourning. I feel that they have been abroad for too long, so they are still judging others with an outdated standard. My mother had already been so miserable in this life. I can't help but feel angry when I see the three of them treating my mother like that. Luckily, Marcus and his parents are still very reasonable. Let's just first let the old man's funeral be completed. We'll come cover and pick my mother up at night. It's not too late for you to pay your respects to the old man then."

Sebastian, who was on the other end of the call, did not understand the situation, so he did not say much. "Alright."

In the afternoon, Sebastian immediately rushed home after he had finished handling the company's matters, and he saw Sabrina sitting alone in the living room while being in a daze.

"What's the matter?" asked the man.

"Sometimes, I wonder how can a person bully another person when they clearly were relatives," Sabrina said extremely emotionally.

The man put his wife in his arms. "Did your mother suffer some grievances?"

"They kept saying that my mother is an illegitimate daughter given birth by a mistress. They kept on saying that. They don't even think about the fact that my mother is their aunt. Also, did my grandmother willingly biome a mistress? Uncle Oliver, Aunt Paige, and Marcus are all grateful, but why can't the three brothers stand my mother? My mother originally did not want to acknowledge the fact that she is part of the Shaw family at all. It was because she saw that Old Master Shaw had passed away, and she suddenly felt that she had lost her father, a loved one. Only then did she reconcile with the Shaw family.

"However, never would we have ever expected that they would not admit their mistakes, but they turned round to accuse my mother of shamelessly pestering their family instead. Fine! Since they said that we kept pestering them, we'll just leave. However, they said that my mother is Grandpa's daughter, so she should stay and mourn her father. They even said to let my mother take good care of my uncle and aunt in the future and to never covet the family's properties. Could it be that children that were given birth by different mothers don't have the right to enjoy being treated equally?"

Speaking of that, Sabrina smiled helplessly. "It doesn't matter as well. In any case, my mother has more than enough money. We won't make a fuss with them for the sake of Marcus and also for the fact the old man has died. Let's go, Sebastian. My mother had been kneeling outside of the entrance, and I'm afraid that her body can't take it. Let's go pick her up."

"Alright," said Sebastian gently.

In terms of being an illegitimate child of a mistress or not, Sebastian was able to understand the grievances of his mother-in- law.

He was also an illegitimate child of a mistress. His mother had never even gotten married in this life.

"I am here. I will not let anybody bully your mother. Don't worry." The man walked his wife downstairs with an arm wrapped around her. He then drove them straight to the Shaw Residence.

At that moment, Gloria was still kneeling outside of the Shaw Residence. The entire Shaw Residence was already covered in black cloth. The obituary was also pasted outside. Some people that were nearby had already heard the news and rushed over to offer their condolences. Many people gave Gloria the thumbs up when they saw her kneeling outside the entrance.

"This daughter is so sensible."

"If it were me, I wouldn't even be here. The old man had never even given her the slightest bit of love as a father since her childhood. Now that he has passed away, his daughter could still be so sensible. There are really not many people like her."

"Gloria, don't kneel outside. The floor here is very hard. Go and kneel inside instead."

"Gloria, we are older than you. In fact, we knew that you and your mother had truly suffered a lot back then. If it weren't for your mother, the Shaw family wouldn't have such glory."

"Come on in, my child."

Many of the old people were friends and neighbors with Old Master Shaw when he was alive, and they all persuaded and consoled Gloria as they felt very sorry for her. Gloria also wanted to go in, but she really did not want to face her three nephews and continue fighting with them.

She respectfully bowed her head to the elders. "It's fine. It's the same for me to be here. You may go ahead and enter. My brother and his wife are inside. They will entertain you.

Chapter 2349 Nobody was able to persuade Gloria. She continued kneeling outside.

Also, not everyone who came to offer their condolences was kind- hearted. Some of them just like to create drama, especially those ladies from eminent families who were close to old Madam Shaw back then. Even though they were already old ladies, some of them still felt high and mighty. One of the old ladies had come to offer her condolences just could not stand the sight of Gloria.

"Isn't the daughter of the mistress? when your father was still alive, you didn’t care for him and you kept dreaming of being a lady of the family all day long. Now that your father has passed away, you're publicly mourning him like that out here? Are you actually mourning or are you just putting on an act for the others? You and your mother, the woman who deliberately destroyed a family, are really alike. You’re small-minded and not presentable at all! If you want to mourn, just go in and kneel by old Master Shaw's casket instead of doing it here! I simply can't stand you acting like that, so I have to speak out against it!"

Facing such remarks, Gloria only bowed her head in response, she did not argue with her. This was her father's funeral. It was not a funeral for other people. As long as her father could be buried peacefully, she could put the matters to rest. So what if she was criticized by others? she did not care.

However, the old lady just would not let it go. After she walked through the entrance of the Shaw Residence, she was still shouting, "That daughter of the mistress is truly hilarious, she didn't come in to mourn, but she kneel in front of the entrance instead. Isn't she just kneeling for the entire world to see? This is not mourning, she is simply bringing shame to the Shaw family!"

Marcus was immediately stunned when he heard that old lady saying that. "Gosh! My aunt is kneeling outside. The floor is so hard, it would hurt her knees!"

"Marcus, quickly go and help your aunt up. She is not that young anymore. It won't be able to take it if she continues to kneel like that!" Marcus' parents also immediately said to him.

"Alright!" Marcus immediately headed out.

However, he did not move as fast as his brothers. Two of his brothers pinned him down. The eldest brother, Keegan quickly went out the entrance, when he saw Gloria kneeling there, Keegan was absolutely infuriated!

"Woman! You sincerely want to bring shame upon the Shaw family, don't you? We have already driven you out the entrance of the Shaw Residence, but you are still relentlessly kneeling outside the entrance! You kept saying that you and your mother have pride. Where is your pride? You seem just like a submissive dog to me!"

At that moment, his parents and his youngest brother were not around, so he was absolutely reckless as he humiliated Gloria.

"I'm warning you. Get the fuck off the Shaw Residence's entrance immediately! otherwise, I am really going to call the police! If I have called the police, then you really won't be able to get any advantages at all! When the time comes, the matters of you working in cahoots with that criminal gang, including the fact that your daughter had once been imprisoned, are all going to be exposed! Old hag! From your daughter having a tainted record for being once imprisoned, to you working in cahoots with criminals, and later on, your daughter introducing a girl to my brother, all of these clearly showed that both of you have been approaching the Shaw family with a hidden agenda! Now that your schemes have been uncovered by me, do you still want to keep staying here?"

Gloria was so angered that her face turned pale, when she was just about to have an outburst, a voice from behind her suddenly said, " Keegan Shaw, right? 1 am telling you now that I will be fully in charge of old Master Shaw's funeral! From now on, whether you, Keegan Shaw, are allowed to enter the Shaw Residence or not would be dependent on my decision!"

Keegan turned his head around and saw a man and a woman walking over. He was immediately stunned. "You are that illegitimate child of the Ford family?"

Chapter 2350 "That's right," Sebastian replied extremely honestly.

Keegan sneered. "As expected!"

"Mom! Mom, don’t kneel anymore. Your knees would be damaged! " Sabrina rushed to her mother while feeling very sorry. Tears were about to stream down her cheeks. It was not because her mother was kneeling there. It was mainly because Sabrina had witnessed Keegan standing in front of her mother bossing her around.

She helped her mother up and then she looked at Keegan with an angry expression that seemed like she was close to having a breakdown. "What's the matter! what's the matter! Are you still going to let others live or not? Has my mother been mooching off you or has she killed your father? why are you not willing to let her go! Call the police then! Go on! Call the police now! Keegan Shaw, listen to me! If the police came over and found that there’s nothing wrong with my mother, I will skin you alive! I, Sabrina Shaw, will forever be your enemy in this life!"

"Sure! I'll be waiting!" Keegan said.

"You..." Sabrina said.

How arrogant! He had been so arrogant since morning! At that moment, Sabrina did not care about anything anymore, she raised her hand and wanted to slap Keegan's face. However, she was held by Sebastian.

"Sabrina, don't stoop to his level," Sebastian said calmly.

"Sebastian! He has gone too far in bullying others! He is too unreasonable! It's both wrong for US to leave and stay. Does our livelihood depend on him? why must we let him walk all over US like that?" Sabrina was SO angry that both her eyes were completely reddened.

"Do as I say," Sebastian only said four words to her.

Sabrina looked at her husband in a daze, and then she suddenly smiled, she saw the viciousness from the past in her husband's eyes again. For many years, her husband had restrained more and more of his hostility as their children grew up. However, at that moment, Sabrina clearly saw the icy ray that was radiating out of her husband's eyes, she knew that her husband would not easily make a fuss over someone. But once he did, he would certainly make that person beg for mercy on his knees.

She nodded. "Alright, I'll do as you say, dear!"

Sebastian calmly looked at Keegan. "Your predictions are right. I am the illegitimate son of the Ford family, my wife has also once been in prison, and it so happened that my mother-in-law is also an illegitimate child. Also, she had also been involved in a big and important case not too long ago. Not only that, but even your youngest brother's girlfriend was introduced to him by my wife.

This girlfriend of his has no strong family background and also no power. However, she would not have gotten together with Marcus if both of them were not similar in character and interest. Just as you said, our entire family were misfits who climbed out of the bottom of society."

Keegan laughed and his laughter was very disdainful. "Sebastian Ford! I am just a few years older than you. I was not even ten years old when I was sent abroad by my parents. When I went abroad, you were a toddler back then. Were you about two years old or a little older? I have never had interactions with you, but I know all about the Ford family's matters! Your mother had almost forced Madam Ford into a dead end with no way out! I was very young back then, but I have an impression of that! I still clearly remember that there is a rule in the Ford family which says that women who were not legally married into the family, even if they got pregnant and had children, they do not have the right to the inheritance. At most, they would be given a family name! You, on the other hand, have been living in exile abroad with your mother since childhood, haven't you? I met you once abroad when you were a teenager! At that time, I already felt that you were an ambitious young man!"
