Shaun and Daphne were startled.

“Grandfather, you… why do you suddenly want us to kneel?” Shaun stammered.

“Shouldn’t you be punished for what you did in front of the memorial hall today?” Waldo said.

Daphne was making an excuse. “Great-Grandpa, how would I know that Zoya is truly Abbott’s family? Her name isn’t listed on our record, so it’s easy to misunderstand.

“Besides, there are many people with ulterior motives who want to establish connections with our family, so naturally, I couldn’t see the truth.”

“Then why didn’t you ask your uncles? You don’t know if Zoya is Abbott’s family, but do you think your uncles wouldn’t know either?” Waldo said exasperatedly.

Just then, Hubert rushed back. The staff at the memorial hall had contacted him earlier, saying that something big had happened there and told him to hurry back.

After he heard about it on the phone, he was immediately aghast.

He hadn’t had much contact with Abbott’s family. He had only met them a long time ago during family gatherings.

However, he was aware of their history.

In the Lucero family, Abbott’s family surely made the most sacrifices over the years. The members of this branch either died or were severely wounded.

As a result, only Zoya was left.

Originally, he thought Daphne could give Zoya a proper welcome, allowing him to relax.

But he didn’t expect Daphne to unexpectedly cause such a huge incident.

Waldo, upon seeing Hubert return, immediately threw his cane at him in anger. “How dare you come back now? How did you handle things?

“Weren’t you supposed to welcome Zoya at the memorial hall today? Zoya is bringing back the ashes of Felix and Celina, yet you didn’t say a word about such an important matter!”

If Hubert had informed the family about this, Zoya would never have suffered such great humiliation outside the memorial hall today.

The entire Lucero family would welcome her. However, what had happened was that the only descendant of Abbott was stopped outside the memorial hall and even had to hold the urn and shout to be allowed in.

Thinking of this, Waldo felt another pang of heartache.

Hubert dared not dodge and was directly hit by Waldo’s cane.

Waldo felt that one cane strike wasn’t enough, so he stepped forward and kicked Hubert.

At that moment, the over-80-year-old man was kicking fiercely with surprising vigor.

No one nearby dared to intervene.

Hubert, aching all over from the kicks, said, “Daphne said she would welcome Zoya. That’s why I left. I told Daphne that Zoya is Abbott’s family!”

All eyes in the memorial hall immediately turned to Daphne.

Daphne gritted her teeth. “I thought Hubert was deceived. After all, Abbott’s family hasn’t returned to Marabotara for years.

“Three years ago, news came that Felix and Celina had died for the country. But why is Zoya only now bringing their ashes back to the Lucero memorial hall? This is completely illogical!”

Zoya’s gaze turned coldly to Daphne. “The reason I am only now bringing back my parents’ ashes is that they sacrificed their lives abroad. It wasn’t until a month ago that I received their ashes.

“Do you know how many martyrs who died abroad might never have their ashes retrieved? Do you know how difficult it is to bring their ashes home?”

Daphne’s face turned alternately red and white, but at this moment, under the watchful eyes of the Lucero family, she could not offer any rebuttal.

“The three of you are grounded before Abbott’s memorial tablets for the whole night tonight, and reflect on how disheartening your actions are!” Waldo said bitterly.

He added, “If, back then, Abbott and his brothers hadn’t protected the country and guarded the memorial hall with their blood, do you think this memorial hall would still be standing here today?”

Hubert and Shaun exchanged glances. Meanwhile, Daphne lowered her head, gritting her teeth, as a flicker of hatred flashed in her eyes behind her glasses.

Originally, she wanted to see Zoya make a fool of herself, but now, she was the one being shamed.

Additionally, it happened right in front of Zoya.

“Hurry up and kneel!” Waldo reprimanded loudly.

Hubert, Shaun, and Daphne could only kneel before Abbott’s memorial tablets.

Waldo said to Zoya, “I will assign someone to guard your parents’ urns in the memorial hall. In three days, for your parents’ funeral, the Lucero family and I will certainly be there to see them off.”

Laurence, who had been silent until then, said, “Grandpa, you are advanced in age, so don’t attend the funeral. My cousins. and I will go.

“Moreover, it’s considered bad for an elder to attend the funeral of a young person!”

Waldo glared at him. “Felix and his wife were truly admirable. They joined the army at a young age, serving the country and its people.

“If they hadn’t borne such heavy burdens, you wouldn’t be enjoying such peaceful lives today.

“If I don’t even attend their funeral, I wouldn’t deserve to be their family!”

Laurence said no more. As Waldo’s grandson, he clearly understood the status of Abbott’s family in Waldo’s heart.

Waldo looked at Zoya kindly and said, “Zoya, since you’ve returned to Marabotara, why not stay with me? I’ll have someone arrange a place for you to live.”

Zoya said, “No, besides my parents’ affairs, I have other matters to attend to in Marabotara, and I already have a place to stay.

“However, if you wishe to see me, I will certainly come to visit you more often.”

“Good…” Waldo nodded. “If you have time, come to the Lucero Mansion and chat with me.

“Also, from now on, you can enter this memorial hall anytime. If anyone dares to stop you, just hit them. I’ll take responsibility if they get hurt!”

Daphne, kneeling on the ground, heard these words, and her expression changed once more.

She couldn’t help but feel that Waldo’s statement was practically aimed at her.

Ever since she became associated with Wren, everyone in the Lucero family had held her in high regard. She hadn’t suffered such humiliation for a very long time.

Zoya could tell that Waldo genuinely loved her.

“Okay, I’ll definitely come and chat with you,” Zoya said.

As Zoya walked out of the memorial hall, she saw a figure standing rigidly in the quiet open space before it.

It was Wren.

Zoya gazed dazedly at him not far away, and thought, ‘He is actually waiting for me!’

As if sensing her gaze, he slowly raised his eyes and looked her way.

As their eyes met, Zoya felt a surge of emotions within her heart.

Wren walked towards Zoya. “Is everything settled?”

“Yes.” She nodded.

“They didn’t give you any trouble, did they?” he asked.

“No,” Zoya replied, “but why are you waiting here in front of the memorial hall?”

She had expected that he would find a place to sit and wait nearby, but to her surprise, he was standing there.

She was inside the memorial hall for over an hour before coming out.

Zoya wondered if he stood like that for over an hour.

Wren said, “By standing at the entrance of the memorial hall, I’ll be the first to see you when you come out, before anyone else
