Chapter 2348
Sabrina smiled. "It's nothing. It's just that my three cousins of the Shaw family did not really want to let my mother be a part of the family, but they wanted her to observe mourning. I feel that they have been abroad for too long, so they are still judging others with an outdated standard. My mother had already been so miserable in this life. I can't help but feel angry when I see the three of them treating my mother like that. Luckily, Marcus and his parents are still very reasonable. Let's just first let the old man's funeral be completed. We'll come cover and pick my mother up at night. It's not too late for you to pay your respects to the old man then."
Sebastian, who was on the other end of the call, did not understand the situation, so he did not say much. "Alright."
In the afternoon, Sebastian immediately rushed home after he had finished handling the company's matters, and he saw Sabrina sitting alone in the living room while being in a daze.
"What's the matter?" asked the man.
"Sometimes, I wonder how can a person bully another person when they clearly were relatives," Sabrina said extremely emotionally.
The man put his wife in his arms. "Did your mother suffer some grievances?"
"They kept saying that my mother is an illegitimate daughter given birth by a mistress. They kept on saying that. They don't even think about the fact that my mother is their aunt. Also, did my grandmother willingly biome a mistress? Uncle Oliver, Aunt Paige, and Marcus are all grateful, but why can't the three brothers stand my mother? My mother originally did not want to acknowledge the fact that she is part of the Shaw family at all. It was because she saw that Old Master Shaw had passed away, and she suddenly felt that she had lost her father, a loved one. Only then did she reconcile with the Shaw family.
"However, never would we have ever expected that they would not admit their mistakes, but they turned round to accuse my mother of shamelessly pestering their family instead. Fine! Since they said that we kept pestering them, we'll just leave. However, they said that my mother is Grandpa's daughter, so she should stay and mourn her father. They even said to let my mother take good care of my uncle and aunt in the future and to never covet the family's properties. Could it be that children that were given birth by different mothers don't have the right to enjoy being treated equally?"
Speaking of that, Sabrina smiled helplessly. "It doesn't matter as well. In any case, my mother has more than enough money. We won't make a fuss with them for the sake of Marcus and also for the fact the old man has died. Let's go, Sebastian. My mother had been kneeling outside of the entrance, and I'm afraid that her body can't take it. Let's go pick her up."
"Alright," said Sebastian gently.
In terms of being an illegitimate child of a mistress or not, Sebastian was able to understand the grievances of his mother-in- law. He was also an illegitimate child of a mistress. His mother had never even gotten married in this life.
"I am here. I will not let anybody bully your mother. Don't worry." The man walked his wife downstairs with an arm wrapped around her. He then drove them straight to the Shaw Residence.
At that moment, Gloria was still kneeling outside of the Shaw Residence. The entire Shaw Residence was already covered in black cloth. The obituary was also pasted outside. Some people that were nearby had already heard the news and rushed over to offer their condolences. Many people gave Gloria the thumbs up when they saw her kneeling outside the entrance.
"This daughter is so sensible."
"If it were me, I wouldn't even be here. The old man had never even given her the slightest bit of love as a father since her childhood. Now that he has passed away, his daughter could still be so sensible. There are really not many people like her."
