Ch. 2351..2360

Chapter 2351 "Now it seems that I have indeed gotten it right! You had gone to great lengths to take the entire Ford family into the palm of your hands, and you are now here to harm the Shaw now?"

Sebastian nodded. "Mm-hmm. As expected of a person who grew up abroad and has his own multinational corporate group. You are unusually smart."

Keegan fully accepted the compliment Sebastian had given him. He raised his eyebrows. "Sebastian, you're still quite honest. At least you've admitted to everything. However, Sebastian, listen to me! Since my two brothers and I have returned, we absolutely will not let you, your mother-in-law, and your wife, as well as my brother's bullshit of a girlfriend who was introduced to him by your wife, have it your way! I think the three Shaw brothers are more than capable of dealing with you, an illegitimate child!"

"Bullshit!" Yvonne suddenly walked out of the car. She had been sitting inside the car the whole time, she was just unwilling to get out. The reason she followed Sabrina and Sebastian to this palace was that Yvonne actually was worried about Marcus. To be honest, the person in the huge Shaw family who had the most worries was Marcus.

Marcus has a gentle and positive nature. He loved his parents and respected his grandfather very much. However, he also cared for his aunt very much and had a very rich kinship with Sabrina. It would also be impossible for such a kind-hearted person like him to have a fall out with his three brothers. Therefore, Yvonne knew that Marcus was truly in a difficult position being sandwiched in the middle. Precisely because he was in such a difficult position that Yvonne felt incomparably sorry for her man.

She sat in the car and she only wanted to catch a glimpse of her man, but she never expected that she would hear Keegan slandering her like that.

Yvonne was from a small and common family, but when had she ever suffered such pent-up anger? When she was with Sabrina and Ruth, both of them had always been doting on her very much.

When she was with Marcus, he doted on her and made her feel like a little princess. Yvonne was almost the apple in everybody's eyes. She had never been treated so unreasonably.

She immediately became infuriated beyond measure. "Keegan Shaw! I have made up my mind! I will stand with Sabrina and Mister Ford. This will only end after you've been kicked out of the Shaw family! As long as I am here, I will never allow you to set foot in the Shaw Residence!"

"You..." Keegan was so angered that he slurred his words, "who the fuck do you think you are?"

"I am your fourth brother's wife!"

"Ha! Wife?" Keegan laughed. "Have you ever heard that a wife is just like a piece of clothing that could be changed out at any moment? Perhaps once the old man's funeral is over, you'll become a stranger! How could the Shaw family have such a lowly daughter-in-law like you?"

"Keegan Shaw!" Yvonne was so angered that she gritted her teeth.

"Yvonne!" Sabrina hugged Yvonne. "You can't do anything rash. For the sake of Marcus, you can't do anything rash. Let Sebastian and I handle this matter. You first take my mother home to rest. Her knees can't take it anymore. If she were to continue kneeling like that, her knees are going to be ruined. Do as I say!"

Yvonne did her best to suppress the anger within her. She fiercely glanced at Keegan from the corner of her eyes and then helped Gloria up. "Aunt Gloria, let's leave! We will apply some medication to your knees, and then we'll come over again."

Gloria truly could not stand up anymore, while Yvonne helped Gloria walk to the car, Gloria turned her head back, sighed, and said, "I've never met anybody who bullies others like you guys. Alright then. You guys are the ones who have asked for all these."

After saying that, Gloria followed Yvonne into the car.

Keegan, who was left behind, continued raising his eyebrows while saying to Sebastian coldly. "I'm sorry, Mister Ford. This is the Shaw family's funeral. The Shaw family and the Ford family had been friends for generations, and the Ford family is also our important guest, but that doesn't include you, Sebastian Ford! Please leave! I won't see you off!"

Sebastian smiled calmly. "Keegan, maybe you didn't hear what I said to you, so I will repeat myself. I, Sebastian Ford, will be fully in charge of Old Master Shaw's funeral! Everyone from the entire South City, as well as Kidon city, who wishes to come and offer their condolences, had to first be approved by me! As for you, Keegan Shaw, right? As long as you don't enter the Shaw Residence, you can kneel outside the entrance like my mother-in- law as well. I will allow you to do so!"

"What did you say?" Keegan absolutely could not believe it. "How dare you get your hand in the Shaw family's business?"

Sebastian did not answer him, but he suddenly shouted at the people behind him. "Somebody! Get the three Shaw brothers out of the Shaw Residence!"

Chapter 2352 Keegan was stunned when he heard that. Before he was able to react, somebody had already come over to forcefully grab his arms and drag him to the side. Not long after that, his second and third brothers also were dragged out.

"What are you doing? what are you guys doing?" Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni shouted in unison.

"Let us go! This is our house! The person who has passed away is our grandfather! Our grandfather!"

"Sebastian Ford! What do you want to do?"

"We'll call the police! Lokni, call the police, call them now! I just don't believe a robber can still be so arrogant in this society governed by law!"

Immediately after that, Lokni took out his phone to call the police. The three brothers originally thought that someone would stop them from calling the police, but nobody did. They successfully called the police without any hindrance. However, it did not take them long to realize that it was not about calling the police or not anymore. That was because Sebastian only had his people to push them aside. He did not interfere with their freedom to do anything else. They wanted to enter, but the two maids guarding the entrance of the Shaw Residence did not let them in.

The three brothers scolded the maids of the Shaw family outside the entrance, "Open your eyes wide and take a look! We are the young masters of the Shaw family!"

One of the two maids guarding the door said very seriously, " Master Sebastian had said that Old Master Shaw's funeral is the most important thing. The people who would be coming to pay their last respect to old Master Shaw these few days are all important people. At such a moment, the Shaw family is not allowed to have any disgraceful matters, sir, you should let it rest for a while.

"Ever since you were a child, old Master Shaw had been giving you ten million dollars every year and let you have a pampered and comfortable life abroad. He even went abroad during the summer break every year to accompany all of you as he was afraid you would be lonely. The love and care he had for all three of you are evident! But what about you guys? Are you not even going to let him rest in peace after he has passed away?"

"We are not making a scene. We simply want to eliminate the people who are harming the Shaw family!" Keegan argued irrationally.

Right at that moment, about five high-end cars drove into the parking lot outside the entrance of the Shaw Residence. The group of people who had gotten out of the car walked toward the entrance of the Shaw Residence with mournful expressions on their faces.

"Uncle Yancey, Uncle Zabel, and Uncle Kant, all of you...are here?" Keegan was able to see from a great distance that these people were the Shaw family's family friends. Also, all of them had extraordinary status and positions in South City. These people must have come over to offer their condolences as soon as they heard the passing of Old Master Shaw.

"Uncle Yancey, please come in..." Caelus wanted to take the chance to entertain the few distinguished guests, and then take the advantage of the moment to follow them into the house. However, he never expected that the few powerful men would look at the three Shaw brothers with condemning eyes.

The person who was called Uncle Kant said very bluntly, "Hmph! A bunch of things without any conscience! I have never expected that Old Master Shaw would actually have such ill-mannered grandsons! what a disgrace to the Shaw family! If Sebastian were not in charge of this funeral, no one would be attending! All of you better kneel outside the entrance and mourn for Old Master Shaw!"

"Hmph!"

"Ungrateful grandsons!"

"You simply want to make a big deal of everything!"

"Could it be that you want old Master Shaw to not rest in peace?"

Everyone from the group condemned the three Shaw brothers. After the group entered the door, they saw Sebastian standing inside the door. He looked very serious and mighty as if he was a king. With him standing guard there, nobody dared to make any trouble anymore. Everyone was very respectful toward Sebastian. The person standing next to him was Sabrina.

Chapter 2353 The couple were both dressed in black and wearing black armbands, and both of them had solemn and sorrowful expressions on their faces. The couple would respectfully bow their heads together whenever someone came over to express their grief.

"Sebastian, you've done well. It's old Master Shaw's blessing to have you."

"Sebastian, seeing that you've taken time out of your busy schedule to take care of old Master Shaw's funeral is enough to show that you're generous and you're willing to let bygones be bygones. With you being in charge, the old folks like US will rest assured."

"We'll first head in, Sebastian."

Sebastian nodded to all of them respectively.

After these people went in, a person who looked like a maid came to Sebastian. "Master Sebastian, the room has been set up.

The person to collect the memorial gifts is also ready. In addition, the clothes for mourning for the master and the lady of the house, Madam Gloria, and the young masters have also been prepared according to the instructions given by you."

Sebastian coldly and calmly nodded. "Alright. I got it. Let them put it on then. Prepare tea and whatnot for them. Let the people who are observing mourning have some water every now and then. After all, there are too many guests who are here to offer their condolences. I'm afraid they could not take it."

"Understood, Master Sebastian. Master Sebastian, it's such a fortune for the Shaw family to have you here, otherwise, it's all really going to be a hot mess...." The person who spoke did not forget to glance at the three brothers who were outside the door and stunned. After that, the person turned around and went inside to work.

The three brothers were dumbfounded outside. They wanted to barge in but they could not. They just stood outside the door and were incomparably awkward. From time to time, someone would enter to offer their condolences. From time to time, someone who knew the three brothers would come and talk to them. After a long while, the three brothers truly felt that standing outside was very embarrassing, so they grabbed one of the elders who came to offer his condolences.

The elder was confused as he took a look at the three brothers. " What's the matter?"

This time, it was the third brother who rarely spoke, Lokni, that said, "Old Master Johnson, my grandfather was very close to you when he was young. You were also the person who had watched US grow up. Could you speak to that Ford family's illegitimate son and have him let us in? The three of US came back from abroad and we're gentlemen. We won't hold his barbaric behavior against him. This is a funeral in our family, so let US in to handle the funeral arrangements, alright?"

"You guys?" Old Master Johnson snorted and looked at the three brothers. "Do you think you have integrity?"

The faces of the three brothers instantly turned red in embarrassment.

"Old Master Shaw himself has already acknowledged his daughter. He felt most guilty toward his daughter in this life. Before he died, his daughter was already going to acknowledge him as her father. In the end, it was ruined by the three of you. I think Old Master Shaw had loved you all his life for nothing! If you guys were any sensible, you should have handled the family matters after his funeral no matter what, right? Look at what you've done! The three of you were acting all arrogant in the house when Old Master Shaw's body was still laying on the bed. I'll put it this way for you! If Sebastian had not stepped up and taken charge of this matter, nobody would have attended Old Master Shaw's funeral. If you cared for him just a little, you should just kneel outside here! It's not too late for you guys to talk about your private matters after Old Master Shaw's funeral!"

Old Master Johnson's remark made the three brothers realize a fact. They originally wanted to drive these scums who had infiltrated the Shaw family out. However, not only did they fail to do so, but they had gotten themselves thrown out. The three brothers looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do. It was at that moment that they realized that Sebastian simply held the highest power in the South City.

"Keegan! The person named Ford is going to take the Shaw family for his own!" Lokni said with a face full of resentment.

Keegan gritted his teeth. "He is an illegitimate son. He is just living on the properties left by his forefathers in South City! Since he insists on forcefully interfering with the Shaw family, I will let him have a taste of the Shaw family's might!"

After saying that, Keegan took out his phone and dialed some numbers. "Hello..."

Chapter 2354 "Hello? Is this the Phin Group? I would like to work with you in South City... What? You can’t. Your company had long been working very closely with the Ford Group. You have always been relying on supplying raw materials to the Ford Group. If you stop supplying to them, then wouldn't you be breaking their supply chain... What? He can still import the raw materials from the southeast region... Alright, then."

"Hello, Roddy. It’s me, Keegan. Yes, I have returned to the country. My company is very large abroad. You know that one as well.

It already has assets that are worth more than ten billion dollars. I now want to tidy up the business circle of the South city. The Shaw family... You... What did you say? What's wrong with my family? We have never relied on the Ford family, much less Sebastian Ford! What a joke!"

"Hello, Mister Jimenez... Oh, you... It's out of respect to Mister Ford that you came to attend my grandfather's funeral? Ask him to go to hell!"

Keegan was so angry that he almost threw his phone away. How could that be possible? He was just an illegitimate child! He had always been the illegitimate child that was treated badly since childhood! Who would have expected that thirty years later, this illegitimate child would become the symbol of South City? He would be so powerful in South city that a simple stomp of his foot would create a huge shockwave.

When Keegan's other two brothers saw such a scene, they both felt incomparably resentful. However, there was nothing that both of them could do. They could only watch with their eyes wide open as waves after waves of people came to offer their condolences. Even if they humbly nodded and bowed at these people to greet them, the people also ignored the three brothers.

On the contrary, when these people saw Sebastian, they could not help but praise him.

"Mister Ford is so generous. You've taken out time from your busy schedule to be in charge of the Shaw family's funeral. It must not have been easy for you. Old Master Shaw's life has been worthwhile to have you as his grandson-in-law!"

Sebastian, who had been standing at the door, nodded slightly at everyone who came. He was not asking for anything else. He simply wanted to let his mother-in-law and his wife justifiably mourn the death of the old man. He also wanted to repay the kindness old Master Shaw had shown his mother by saving her back then. For the sake of all these, he had to take control of the Shaw family. As for the matter of how the three Shaw brothers, Keegan, Caelus, and Lokni, would hate him after that, that was a matter for a later time. Sebastian has never been afraid of anybody. He had never been afraid when he was young. He was in the prime of his life at that moment, so he was even more unafraid.

It was just that he surely was going to be very occupied those few days. He had to personally take care of everything and he also had to take care of his company at the same time. Sebastian was so busy that he only returned home in the middle of the night every day. It was fortunate that his daughter, Aino, had already grown up. The thirteen-year-old girl already knew how to take care of her home and her two brothers, when her mother and grandmother were mourning her great-grandfather, Aino was doing her homework while watching over her two brothers at the same time without any complaints, when it was late at night, Aino, who had already finished her homework, still had to put her two brothers to bed in the nursery, when Sebastian came home late at night and saw that scene, he could not help but feel sorry. Aino had already fallen asleep while laying on her chest on her brothers' little bed. Sebastian wanted to carry his daughter back to her room, but Aino woke up.

"Dad, is it very hard on my mom and grandma to kneel on the floor?" asked Aino.

Sebastian nodded. "Mm-hmm. It's very hard."

"Mom and grandma's health is not that great. If they keep kneeling, I will feel very heartbroken." Aino teared up as she said that.

Sebastian hugged his daughter. "They will be fine. My little princess only has to study well every day, and they will be very happy."

Aino nodded. "I got it, Dad."

"Go to bed," said Sebastian.

"Good night, Dad." The child was very sensible. After she said good night to her father, she went to lay down in her room by herself, but she was unable to fall asleep for a long while.

The following day happened to be a Sunday. Both her brothers were taken care of by Grandma Lewis and Aunt Tianna, so she was not worried at all. she then went out by herself, she had only been to the Shaw Residence once growing up and she still had not gone inside yet.

Chapter 2355 That was also a matter from many years ago. However, the young lady had a very good memory, she took the bus and then changed to the subway. After she got off the subway, she took a long car ride before she finally arrived outside of the Shaw Residence which was located at the foot of a mountain.

At first, Aino was still uncertain if she had come to her great grandfather's house. After all, there were quite a number of Shaw families in the South City. However, when Aino saw the black cloth hanging outside the entrance of the Shaw Residence and also the obituary, Aino was certain that this must be her great grandfather's house.

Many black cars were parked outside. Aino had made a call to her mother earlier on, and she had heard that her great- grandfather was going to be cremated that day. Seeing that so many cars and so many people were going in one after another, her great grandfather's ashes must have already returned.

In fact, Aino did not care about that, she had no sense of kinship with her great-grandfather at all. she only cared about her mother and her grandmother, she heard that her grandmother's knees were injured from kneeling. Once she thought of her grandmother, Aino felt so heartbroken that she teared up. The teary-eyed little girl looked around at all the guests, who were dressed in black, heading inside, and then she also followed them to the entrance.

Huh? How Strange? Why were there three people kneeling in front of the entrance? Were the three of them guarding the entrance? Aino came to the three men kneeling outside the entrance with a dejected expression and asked very politely, "Sir, may I know if you are the doormen of the Shaw Residence? Do doormen also need to kneel to mourn for the deceased?"

The young girl was right at the age where she had a great desire to learn about everything, whenever she saw anything new, she would want to learn about it and expand her knowledge. That included the rites of the funeral. 1 "Who are you?" Keegan was so annoyed that he looked askance at the little grown-up who had suddenly appeared.

"Whose child is this? Go, go away! Don't be a busybody here!" Caelus also followed along and chased the girl away.

Lokni had the worst temper. He directly said two words, "Fuck off! It Hmph! Aino immediately put her arms on her waist! "My great grandfather has passed away. This is a funeral! The deceased is to be respected. Do you know that? The entire family had to be very meticulous when there was a funeral in the family! Are the three doormen such as yourselves going to disgrace the family like that? It's such a shame that Uncle Marcus and my granduncle still gave you jobs! Is this how you bring disgrace to the family who had hired and paid your salary? Do you believe that I'll take a picture of what you look like now and upload it online?" 1 While saying that, Aino deliberately took her phone out of her backpack. Actually, she only wanted to scare the three doormen so that they would not be so arrogant. How could she not give them another chance at all? As long as the three of them admit their mistakes, she would not upload them online. However, she never expected that one of the men would suddenly look at her in a daze and ask, "What did y-you say? what did you call the deceased?"

"Hmph! The person who passed away is my great-grandfather!" Aino said very seriously.

Keegan was speechless. He and his two other brothers looked at each other and they all had a mutual understanding. That was truly a heaven-sent opportunity! Sebastian had usually been standing inside the entrance guarding the door, but it so happened that old Master Shaw's ashes had just been brought home at that moment, so Sebastian was occupied at the memorial space.

He certainly still had no idea that his daughter had come over!

"My child, we are not doormen. We are your relatives." Keegan immediately got up and came to Aino.

Chapter 2356 Aino would not easily trust anybody. "How could that be possible?"

Keegan had a very good temper. "Let me guess, you're Aino, right? II "So?" Aino asked.

"Your mother's name is Sabrina Scott?" Keegan's expression was incomparably gentle and kind. He was also a father of a few children. His family abroad had usually been practicing democracy at home. He was best at getting along with children. At that very moment, it was indeed too easy for him to deal with a teenage girl. He laughed coldly in his heart, but he did not show it at all on his face.

Aino was still very calm. "Go on."

Keegan continued. "Your paternal grandfather's name is Sean Ford and your great-grandfather's name is Henry Ford. You also have an uncle, who is the closest to you, named Marcus Shaw. Uncle Marcus loves your mother and your grandmother very much. Am I right? Also, even though your last name is Scott and your name is Aino Scott, your actual legal name is Aino Ford.

Your father loved you the most and you're the most precious little princess in your father's heart. In the future, you'll be the first in line to inherit the Ford family. Your father is Sebastian Ford!"

Aino was completely stunned. She was unable to regain her senses for a very long time, she blinked and she suddenly asked in a slightly silly manner, "You...how do you...know...all about that?"

Keegan suddenly smiled. "Do You know why we are kneeling outside?" he asked.

Aino shook her head. "I don't know." She originally thought that they were doormen.

"Didn't you notice that three of us looked very similar to your Uncle Marcus?"

Aino took a look and it suddenly hit her. she then smiled. "I got it. You're Uncle Marcus' brothers. The three of you had always been abroad, right?"

Keegan also smiled. "That's right. We are also your uncles."

Aino nodded. "That's right. Nice to meet you."

However, she tilted her head and thought about something for a moment. "Why didn't you go in then?"

Keegan sighed. "This is an old custom, when we rushed home from abroad, your great-grandfather had already passed away.

We were considered as people who had rushed over from outside. So when we didn't rush back in time, we had to kneel outside."

Aino did not fully understand it. "oh..."

There was a pause before she asked, "My...grandmother has bad knees. Is she alright now? Did she get overwhelmed by sadness? She did not look like she was close to my great-grandfather on the surface, but she actually was especially yearning for her father's love in her heart. It was because she yearned for her father's love too much that she did not forgive my great- grandfather, she cared for him very much in her heart."

Keegan smiled and said, "We know all about that, baby."

"Where is my grandma? Can I go in? I got something to help make kneeling easy for her from the store. It's actually just two pieces of cotton pads to be placed under the knees. This way, her knees won't hurt anymore. How could I pass it to her?" Aino asked while tilting her head.

"My child, you haven't eaten, haven't you?" Keegan asked.

Aino nodded. "Not yet."

"Come, be good, and follow me to first grab something to eat.

That's because your great-grandfather's urn is now being placed in the memorial space, children can't get near the space. After your great-grandfather's urn has been properly placed in the memorial space, your parents and your grandma would be free. I'll first take you to grab a bite now so that you won't be hungry, alright?" Keegan looked at Aino very gently.

Aino did not hesitate at all. Actually, the young lady usually had a very strong awareness of protecting herself. Under normal circumstances, she simply would not be deceived.

Chapter 2357 However, how could a child defend against the sinister nature of an adult? Her most beloved Uncle Marcus lived there. Her parents and her grandmother are all mourning there. These three uncles and her Uncle Marcus looked so much alike. Aino never would have expected that she would be tricked.

The three men who claimed to be Aino’s uncles stuffed her into a car, but they did not bring her to a restaurant. Instead, they made several turns and in the end, they actually brought her out of the city. Aino immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Her heart sank. However, she did not show any signs of panic on the surface at all. On the contrary, she smiled and looked at the three Shaw brothers with her clever gaze.

"Is the place where we’re going to grab a bite very far away? I'm guessing that you must be taking me to a high-end restaurant, right? I heard that a three-star restaurant with traveling being their theme had opened in the suburbs, right?"

Keegan originally was still thinking of how to scare the child, but he never expected that this child would actually act like a smarty pants. He immediately played along and said, "Gosh, Aino is so smart. That's right. I am bringing you to a high-end restaurant to have a feast."

"However, Uncle, I had woken up too early this morning, so I am a little sleepy now. I'll first take a nap. Don't forget to wake me up when we arrive at the place," said Aino immediately.

"Alright. Have a nap first then, baby." Keegan sneered in his heart. It was even better for her to be asleep. That way, the child would not cry and shout, which would save a lot of trouble for them.

"I will sleep now then." Aino shut her eyes as she said that. Her heart was suddenly pounding out of her chest, she felt a little uneasy, but she did her best to repeatedly warn herself to keep calm.

When she was five years old, her grandfather and uncle joined forces to have her abducted. Even then, she was able to escape.

With Aino's intelligence, it certainly would not be a problem for her to deal with these few old men.

Hold on! The first time was a left turn! It seemed to be going toward the southwest for ten minutes after they left the city. The car was going at about 60 kilometers per hour. She made a mental note of it. Another right turn. It seemed that the car was going up.

Did it drive up the winding up of the mountains? Although Aino’s eyes were shut, she made an extremely accurate mental note of every little turn and ascent that the car made. It was after two whole hours that the car was stopped. Aino still kept her eyes shut and her breathing was very consistent.

"It was so easy for us to get this child in the palm of our hands! It turned out that Sebastian's child was just so-so!" Keegan smiled.

Lokni explained, "Keegan, your children are all grown, so maybe you don't remember anymore, children like her who are just a little over ten years old are about the same as children who are about five, children like her would easily fall asleep during a long drive as the car is bumpy. My daughter is the same, she'll fall asleep once she gets into the car."

"It's good that she had fallen asleep," said Caelus. "It saves us a lot of trouble now that she has fallen asleep. Keegan, tie her up.

Be careful not to tie it too tight. Don't wake her or she'll start bawling. II "I can even hear this child snoring. I'm guessing that she had not slept well in the past couple of days when her parents were not by her side, otherwise, she wouldn't have come so early to look for her parents and grandmother. Tie her up, but don't wake her."

In fact, Aino had never been asleep. However, her snoring was incomparably realistic. Sometimes the pitch was high, sometimes it was low. Sometimes she would stop storing for a long while, but sometimes she would snore very loudly for a very long time, she could not panic, she had to first paralyze the defenses these three people had against her.

Aino only gradually woke up after an hour. When she woke up, she burst out crying so hard that bubbles were forming from her nose. "My uncles, why did you tie me up?"

Chapter 2358 At that moment, Keegan's true colors were completely exposed. " You have to be obedient. If you dare to disobey US, we will leave you in this cave! We'll let the wolves come out to take you away! Are you afraid of pain?" Keegan looked at Aino fiercely.

Aino's tears immediately gushed down her cheeks. Immediately after that, she pursed her lips and burst out crying. "I want my dad. I want my mom. I want to go home." she sobbed.

"No crying! Caelus shouted angrily!

Aino was so frightened that she immediately did not dare to cry anymore, she pursed her lips and looked at the men in front of her while tears streamed down her cheeks, she held back her tears so much that she was trembling all over.

"Don't frighten her. she is such a small child. If something bad were to happen to her after she was frightened, with Sebastian's power in the South city now, he would skin US alive. The purpose we took the child was to negotiate with Sebastian." The eldest brother, Keegan, was still slightly calmer, after all.

Shortly after, he looked at Aino. "Don't cry, little one. I will not hit you. I just had a little conflict with your father. If your father is willing to listen to me, I will release you unharmed. Tell me, does your father love you?"

Aino nodded her head with all her might. "He does. He loves me the most. If you let me go, my dad will certainly be willing to give the entire company to you. My dad will certainly be willing to do so. II "Excellent! You're the best! I like you very much. You're very obedient!"

Aino nodded her head with all her might again. "I certainly will be very, very obedient!"

"Then, shall we give your father a call now?" asked Keegan.

"Alright." Aino nodded.

Keegan took out her phone and dialed a set of numbers.

On the other end, Sebastian, who was so occupied that he did not even have the time to take a sip of water, still had no clue that his daughter had already been abducted by Keegan and his brothers. He did not even notice that the three men were not even kneeling outside the entrance. That was because he was indeed too busy that day.

The funeral in the Shaw family was different from the funeral in the Ford family. The majority of the people who had a relationship with the Ford family were from the business world. However, it was different for the Shaw family. Just the disciples and subordinates of old Master Shaw alone were spread across the entire country. The number of people was so great that it was beyond imaginable.

That was the day that Old Master Shaw had been cremated and his ashes were brought home. The ceremony to place his urn in the memorial place was absolutely necessary. That was the reason Sebastian was unable to entertain the guests at the entrance.

However, the guests who were supposed to come were already there. Many people crowded the huge courtyard of the Shaw Residence and it appeared to be a sea of darkness. Everyone was mourning silently. Sebastian had conducted the funeral in an orderly fashion. Marcus, as well as his parents, were very thankful for Sebastian.

After the wake, many people have returned to the hotel they were staying at as they quietly wait to attend the burial of the Old Master Shaw. After waves and waves of people were sent off, the Shaw Residence was finally a lot quieter.

At that moment, Marcus' parents came to Sebastian and looked at him with immense gratitude. "Sebastian, it's fortunate that you're here for the old Master Shaw's funeral. If it weren't for you, our family would truly be in a hot mess. As the son of the Shaw family, I have to be by the old man's memorial place to observe mourning. It's the same for your mother-in-law as well. However, those three sons of mine, to be honest, were truly jerks. Sebastian, I have to trouble you to forgive the three of them. They don't seem so bad. The main thing is that the three of them had gotten used to living abroad since childhood, so they have gradually gotten more distant from the people on our end. They have lost the family connection. Unlike Marcus, who had gone through so much trouble before finding their aunt, often kept their aunt accompanied after finding her, and formed a mother-son-like bond with their aunt after a few years. They did not have any of that. Once they returned, they saw their aunt, Sabrina, and Yvonne had popped up in the house."

Chapter 2359 "They just did not want to accept it from the bottom of their hearts. Please, Sebastian, you must forgive them, alright?"

Marcus' father was so very sincere. "Sebastian, I have not taught my sons well. I truly have to bear the responsibility for that.

However, we're at the juncture of your Grandpa Shaw's funeral now, so let's first put everything else to rest. After your Grandpa Shaw has been buried, I will fiercely teach the three of them a hard lesson. Don't worry, Sebastian. I will let the three useless things apologize to her aunt. If they still were the slightest bit disrespectful, I would break off the mother-sons relationship with them!"

"Aunt Paige..." Sebastian did not know what to say. After all, this was the matter within the Shaw family, and they were good and sensible people. Also, all this while, Marus truly had treated and cared for his Aunt Gloria like his own mother.

Sebastian nodded slightly. "Uncle Shaw, Aunt Paige, don't worry. I will not hold it against the three of them. The reason that I made three of them kneel outside at that time was that it was a convenient solution. Don't worry, with me around, the old man's funeral will certainly be held in an orderly manner. I will ask them to come in in a short while. After all, it indeed also did not look good for the three of them to be kneeling outside. As long as they are willing to first put the matters to rest and only discuss all matters after the funeral, I will let them come in."

"Good, good! Great!" Marcus' father was grateful. "I will ask them to come in now." with that, Marcus' father went outside.

Yvonne, at the side, raised her hand and patted Marcus while saying, "Marcus, look at how reasonable Sabrina, Mister Ford, and also Aunt Gloria are. To be honest, more than ten thousand people had come to offer their condolences today, and with the arrogant way your three brothers handle matters, would the three of them be able to command the people? There's no telling what kind of mess they would create."

Marcus was also extremely emotional. "You're right. After everything, I have to properly thank Sebastian and Sabrina. I will also have to help Aunt Gloria move into the Shaw Residence. I will care for her for the rest of her life. I absolutely can't let her be alone out there. If not, if she truly had been tricked one day, she would not want to live anymore."

"Mm-hmm. I support you, dear!" Yvonne felt relieved as she looked at Marcus.

While everyone was able to take a short break and were waiting to see if the three Shaw brothers would come in and admit their mistakes, Sebastian's phone rang. He originally thought that it was a call from his company. In the end, when he looked at this phone, he saw that it was an unknown number and it seemed to have been encrypted. Who could it be? Sebastian immediately picked up the call. "Hello?"

Nobody knew what the other party had said to Sebastian. Sabrina, Yvonne, and Marcus, who were standing next to Sebastian, were able to tell that Sebastian's face had suddenly gone pale. His hand that was holding the phone was even trembling.

"Sebastian, what happened?" Marcus immediately sensed something bad had happened.

"What's the matter, Sebastian?" Sabrina asked with concern.

Sebastian did not answer. He was still listening to the voice on the other end of the phone with his full focus.

At that moment, Marcus' parents frantically ran in from the entrance while stumbling along the way.

"Marcus, it's bad. Your three brothers are...gone. Gosh, would they never enter the door to this house again in a fit of anger?

Would they have already gone to the airport, flown abroad, and never to return again?" Marcus' mother was the mother of those three people, after all. she already started crying before she finished her sentence, and she cried very inconsolably.

"They didn't go back abroad," Sebastian suddenly said coldly.

"What?" Everyone looked at Sebastian.

Sebastian's expression was sharp and cold like a frosty sword. "If the three of them were to let my daughter lose even a single hair, I will take a blade and slice them up alive!"

Chapter 2360 Everyone, especially Sabrina, was stunned when they heard Sebastian saying that. Sabrina's face suddenly turned pale. Her lips were trembling and her eyes were filled with fear. "Sebastian, what did you say? What about your daughter? What happened to your daughter? Aino...what does Aino have to do with the three of them? It In fact, with how smart Sabrina was, she had already figured everything out. However, she was not willing to admit it. she was not willing to admit that Aino, who had been through so much hardship since childhood, had been abducted by the three Shaw brothers.

"No! No, Sebastian, No!" Sabrina's voice was shaking. Her voice was so weak that she sounded like a ghost to those who heard it. "I don't want Aino to be abducted. I don't want...I want Aino. I want my Aino...Sebastian, I want my Aino. Hurry up and get Aino back to me! Go and find Aino! what are you still doing there? Go find her... Aino. If Aino doesn't come back, then I will not live anymore..."

Sabrina suddenly threw up some blood clots and she instantly collapsed.

"Sabrina!" Sebastian acted very quickly to hold Sabrina.

Sabrina had already fainted. Nothing could give this woman a blow. She was impoverished in her teen years, she was bullied and shit was thrown at her when she was in school, and she was abused when she was an exchange student, she lived like a beggar in her own father's house. After that, she was imprisoned, and later on, she was driven out, criticized, and harmed by the entire South city. None of that was able to deliver a heavy blow to her. After all of that, she was still able to stand up with her unyielding attitude.

When she was unable to fight back, her silent resistance was also a strong and unyielding attitude. She was so tough. However, at that moment, the woman was knocked down. Nothing mattered. None of it mattered! However, her daughter was her life. How could those three damned things be so inhumane and actually abduct a child?

Under the urgent circumstances, Sebastian raised his hand and pressed on the pressure point at Sabrina's philtrum. A moment later, Sabrina gradually came to. Blood was still bubbling in her mouth. She could no longer shed a single tear anymore. She just looked at Sebastian with a hopeless gaze and her voice was hoarse as a raven.

"Sebastian, all of this is because of my mother and ĩ. I...Ĩ can endure any hardships. You know that. I don't want the money. I don't want anything anymore. As long as they agree to let Aino return, we'll give them all of the properties. We'll give it to them! If they didn't want money and they just wanted to vent their anger. Tell them, let them come at me. They can chop me up, kill me, burn me, slice my flesh off piece by piece with a blade. I'll be fine with anything that they do. I can take it. As long as they let Aino go. Alright, Sebastian? Alright?"

"Alright!" Sebastian was crying inconsolably.

He was a manly man. He was the person in charge of the Ford Group and the symbol of South City. Nobody had ever seen him shed a tear. However, at that moment, when the man was hugging his wife, he cried like a helpless child.

Everyone present was all in tears. One by one, they condemned the three Shaw brothers.

"They've gone overboard! others were handling the funeral of your family, but you, on the other hand, abducted their child!"

"How could it be like that? Have these three brothers returned home to create trouble?"

"If I were to bump into these three brothers, I would have to shoot them with a machine gun!"

"I don't know how dignified the Shaw family of South City is! I just know that I am Sebastian's blood brother! I, Kelvin white, am not as rich as Sebastian, but I am one of the richest at the southwest border! If the three brothers dare to lay a single finger on Aino, even if they were to go to the ends of the world or the furthest place on earth, I will also have to get them back and slash them! No, slash them to death!"
