" She didn't leave me behind this time either , " Julius murmured under his breath . " What was that ? " Fabian asked , snapping out of his daze . " Nothing ." Julius replied calmly . Still , his right hand curled slightly , as if refusing to let go of the sensation .

The more she stayed with him , the more he found himself unwilling to let her go . Clutching the cremation urn , Quinn stepped out of the mansion and called a taxi , heading straight for the Bridger family's ancestral hall . That day , she was there to bring her parents ' ashes and arrange for their memorial tablets to be placed . From that day on , their names would sit beside her grandparents ' and all the Bridger ancestors in that hallowed space .

The car soon pulled up outside the ancestral hall . Quinn stepped out , still holding the cremation urn tightly . Looking at the Bridger family's ancestral hall before her , she felt a quiet surge of pride . Above the doorway hung a plaque carved from ebony , etched with four golden characters : The Bridger Family's Ancestral Hall . On either side , elegant couplets read : Respect the martyrs and protect the descendants . The atmosphere was reverent and dignified . Quinn's eyes grew misty .

This was the same hall her grandfather once protected with his life . Just as she was about to enter , someone blocked her path . " This is the Bridger family's ancestral hall . Outsiders aren't allowed inside . " " My name's Quinn Bridger . I'm from the fifth branch of the Bridger family . After my parents passed , it was arranged that their ashes would stay here for three days , and memorial tablets would be made for them , " she explained . " The fifth branch ? " The staff looked confused .

" But … isn't the fifth branch gone ? " " We've been living in Jexburgh for a long time . Before I came here , I spoke to my Uncle Maddox on the phone . He knows the situation . Could you have him come out ? " Upon hearing this , the staff responded with a touch of awkwardness , " He had to step out for today ." e business In reality , Maddox had gone to play poker , a fact well known among the staff . But they certainly couldn't mention this in front of Quinn / " What ? He's not around ?

" Quinn was taken aback . " I'll try to get in touch with him . " Just as the staff reached for his phone , another voice rang out . ||| O 1/2 09:17 Tue , 8 Jul 0 Chapter 77 You Are Not One Of Us " Uncle Maddox isn't around today , so I'm in charge . If there's anything , talk to me . " 1 / 83 % 1 +5 Free Coins Quinn turned to see Marley walking over , the same woman she'd seen at the restaurant the day before . Several familiar faces followed behind her . The staff breathed a sigh of relief .

" Ms. Marley , this woman claims to be from the fifth branch . She's here to place a cremation urn and set up memorial tablets . " " From the fifth branch ? " Marley raised a brow , looking Quinn over with open contempt . " Everyone knows the fifth house is long gone . The Bridger family's ancestral hall isn't a place some random stranger can just waltz into ! " " If that's the case , the family registry will show it , " Quinn replied evenly . " The family registry ? " Marley scoffed .

" You think our family registry is something just anyone can access ? Who do you think you are ? " " The Bridger family's family registry are available to all members of the family , " Quinn said . " Ha ! You seriously think just because your name is Bridger , you're one of us ? " The scions flanking Marley burst into laughter . " Yeah , there are plenty of Bridgers in Yarburn . Doesn't mean they're part of the Bridger family !

" " Look at you , just because you're named Bridger , you think you belong here . You even want to bury your parents in the Bridger family's ancestral hall . What a joke ." Ignoring them , Quinn calmly addressed the staff . " Could you contact Uncle Maddox ? He can confirm everything ." " You don't get to call him Uncle Maddox ! " Marley snapped . " Why not ? He is my uncle ," Quinn said firmly . " Are you dense ? " sneered a young woman with a round face , standing beside Marley .

" In the Bridger family of Yarburn , all names have the same starting letter . But you ? You're named Quinn . Maybe next time , do some research before pretending to be one of them . " This was Pamela Moore , Marley's best friend . The Moore and Bridger families had long been business allies , and the two women had grown up together , thick as thieves . The others burst out laughing again . Quinn pursed her lips . Sure , her name didn't follow the naming pattern .

But that was tied to things from the previous generation , matters none of these people needed to know . Once more , she addressed the staff . " Please help me get in touch with Uncle Maddox . " This … " The staff looked uneasy / glancing toward Marley for guidance . ||| 三 O 2/2 Chapter 78 Refusing Her Entry
