Chapter 1115
The ancestral recognition ceremony organized by Grandpa Duran turned out to be even more grand than Cornelia had anticipated. Grandpa Duran not only meticulously arranged the venue but also invited many people whom Cornelia didn't recognize, but could tell they held prominent positions.
Grandpa Duran introduced them to Cornelia one by one, saying, “Nelly, these two are my brother, Alfredo, and his wife.”
Although Cornelia had never met Alfredo in real life, she knew him. He was an important figure who frequently appeared on the evening news. This was Cornelia’s first time encountering such a prominent person, and she became nervous to the point of stuttering, “H... Hello!”
Alfredo, wearing reading glasses, glanced at Cornelia from head to toe and responded coldly, “Hmm.”
His indifferent reply displeased Grandpa Duran, who exclaimed, “Alfredo, how do you usually treat your grandchildren? And now you meet my child with such coldness?”
Alfredo paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and sternly said, “Your name is Cornelia? From Rosenberg? No other relatives left in your family?"
His words carried a sense of hostility, which not only failed to ease Grandpa Duran's anger but rather made him even angrier, "Alfredo, what kind of attitude is this?"
Alfredo continued, "Come over here, I have something to discuss with you privately.’
Grandpa Duran said, "Nelly is my recognized granddaughter; she is already part of our family. If you have something to say, say it directly without any concealment.’
Alfredo asked, "Are you sure you want me to say it in front of her?"
Grandpa Duran replied, "Say it!"
