Chapter 87 Reuniting With Laura
“Because without them, the Bridger family wouldn’t be where it is today!” a stern voice rang out,
Quinn looked up and saw that her uncle, Moldred, had arrived at some point. His expression was serious.
Marley’s face immediately twisted with embarrassment.
Why does it have to be Uncle Moldred? In the Bridger family, he is the one I feared most.
“Marley, apologize properly to the ancestors and fallen heroes of the Bridger family. If it weren’t for their sacrifice, you wouldn’t be enjoying the life you have now,” Moldred said.
Marley bit her lip. Her current life, in her eyes, had come at the cost of her own eye.
Even the Bridger family’s current status and wealth were, as she saw it, built on her sacrifices.
And yet Moldred was taking Quinn’s side!
“You’re still not apologizing?” Moldred’s tone grew harsher.
Marley had no choice but to bow her head and offer a grudging apology.
Moldred then turned to Quinn. “Quinn, you’re not alone. No matter what, the Bridger family will always have your back.”
“I know,” Quinn replied.
As she walked out of the ancestral hall, her phone rang.
She answered it, and Laura’s voice rang out. “Where are you now?”
“In Yarburn,” Quinn replied.
“Of course I know you’re in Yarburn. I’m asking for your exact location.”
“Right outside the Bridger family ancestral hall.”
“Great. I’ll meet you there in half an hour,” Laura said.
Quinn blinked. “What do you mean? Wait, are you in Yarburn?”
“Yeah, I just landed. See you soon!” Laura said and hung up.
Quinn stared at her phone, then smiled at the thought of seeing her friend again.
Since the ancestral hall was located downtown, there were plenty of small restaurants nearby. She picked one and sat down to wait.
Thirty minutes later, not only did she see Laura, but also Harlan.
As soon as Harlan saw Quinn, he gave her a big hug. “I missed you so much.”

Quinn chuckled and ruffled his hair like he was a golden retriever. “Okay, I know. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming on the phone?”
Harlan just smiled and said nothing. He’d wanted to see the look on her face when she saw him unexpectedly.
“Okay, I’m starving. Let’s eat something here,” Laura said.
Neither Quinn nor Harlan objected.
The place was a simple, local eatery serving traditional Yarburn dishes.
The three of them ordered a few dishes and began to eat together.
