Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel 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?"
