Chapter 2349
Nobody was able to persuade Gloria. She continued kneeling outside.
Also, not everyone who came to offer their condolences was kind- hearted. Some of them just like to create drama, especially those ladies from eminent families who were close to old Madam Shaw back then. Even though they were already old ladies, some of them still felt high and mighty. One of the old ladies had come to offer her condolences just could not stand the sight of Gloria.
"Isn't the daughter of the mistress? when your father was still alive, you didn’t care for him and you kept dreaming of being a lady of the family all day long. Now that your father has passed away, you're publicly mourning him like that out here? Are you actually mourning or are you just putting on an act for the others? You and your mother, the woman who deliberately destroyed a family, are really alike. You’re small-minded and not presentable at all! If you want to mourn, just go in and kneel by old Master Shaw's casket instead of doing it here! I simply can't stand you acting like that, so I have to speak out against it!"
Facing such remarks, Gloria only bowed her head in response, she did not argue with her. This was her father's funeral. It was not a funeral for other people. As long as her father could be buried peacefully, she could put the matters to rest. So what if she was criticized by others? she did not care.
However, the old lady just would not let it go. After she walked through the entrance of the Shaw Residence, she was still shouting, "That daughter of the mistress is truly hilarious, she didn't come in to mourn, but she kneel in front of the entrance instead. Isn't she just kneeling for the entire world to see? This is not mourning, she is simply bringing shame to the Shaw family!"
Marcus was immediately stunned when he heard that old lady saying that. "Gosh! My aunt is kneeling outside. The floor is so hard, it would hurt her knees!"
"Marcus, quickly go and help your aunt up. She is not that young anymore. It won't be able to take it if she continues to kneel like that!" Marcus' parents also immediately said to him.
"Alright!" Marcus immediately headed out.
However, he did not move as fast as his brothers. Two of his brothers pinned him down. The eldest brother, Keegan quickly went out the entrance, when he saw Gloria kneeling there, Keegan was absolutely infuriated!
"Woman! You sincerely want to bring shame upon the Shaw family, don't you? We have already driven you out the entrance of the Shaw Residence, but you are still relentlessly kneeling outside the entrance! You kept saying that you and your mother have pride. Where is your pride? You seem just like a submissive dog to me!"
At that moment, his parents and his youngest brother were not around, so he was absolutely reckless as he humiliated Gloria.
