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..."
