There was a sending-off ceremony for family members of the deceased at night in Zelotria. Olivia hid in the crowd as she looked at the members of the Fordham family.
Other than Douglas' offspring, there were also the offspring of his brothers and other branch families. The Fordhams were a huge family.
The ceremony was about to begin. David was supposed to be the one to pay his respects first, but since he had already passed, Henley was the one to do it instead.
Everyone else went to take a flower of their own. Troy and Sean were wheelchair-bound. So, Jacqueline suggested that she would get the flowers for them.
Before she could reach out to get the flowers, someone grabbed her wrist.
Graham said, "This ceremony is for family members only. I'm afraid you don't have the right to participate."
As soon as he said that, Troy snapped back, "Enough is enough, Graham! We're mourning Grandpa right now. How dare you do this right before him? Do you really want to cause him more trouble even after he's dead?"
Troy didn't mind the minor spats they had before. But there were a lot of outsiders present that night. That wasn't the place for Graham to be spewing nonsense.
Sean had become calm. No matter how ignorant Graham was, he shouldn't be causing a scene at a time like this.
Moreover, Graham worked in the entertainment industry. He should know the gravity of such a situation. He had to be well-prepared if he was acting so arrogantly.
Sean looked at Henley, who had just suffered the loss of a child. He looked a little frail. Garrett's body had been dug out. His son had died for so long. How could he not be sad to send his son off?
That was why he didn't say anything to stop Graham. His eyes were soulless, and he was completely spaced out.
Instead, Henley's wife, Aubrey Goode, took a step forward and said, "Please calm down, Troy. Besides, Graham isn't wrong. It's not only Jacqueline. You and Sean don't have the right to pay respects to Dad either."
Jacqueline had always been very docile when she was with her elders, but even her expression changed at this moment.
