The old man's words angered Grace, Alice, and Zachary.
Their expression changed, as they found him to be intolerable.
This elder even treated the ashes of a dead person disrespectfully. He did not even have a hint of kindness.
Grace frowned, and a hint of impatience appeared in her eyes.
At first, she was still hopeful for her grandfather. She felt that the old man still had some feelings for her grandmother, but it seemed that he no longer had feelings for her anymore.
Grace was completely disappointed.
Alice was straightforward. When she heard Master Lowe's words, she immediately blurted out, "Even if she's back, what does it have to do with you?"
Master Lowe glanced at Alice in disgust and said, "You have no manners. Did I talk to you?"
"You want to meddle in my grandmother's affairs. Why can't I meddle in yours?" Alice retorted in a cold voice.
"You are in no place to bring her back." The old man said coldly, "Without my permission, no one is allowed to bring her back."
"Who do you think you are?" Alice said angrily, "We brought Grandma's ashes home. We did not bring it to your house, did we? Why do you care so much? Are all the dead people of Southland buried in your home? What rights do you have to say that? Who do you think you are? You act shamelessly because of your old age and your wife left because of it. Now my grandmother is dead yet you are still meddling in our business."
Grace raised her head and narrowed her eyebrows. She said emotionlessly, "Master Lowe, you seem to care too much. It's not up to you to worry about my grandmother's affairs."
The old man couldn't help frowning and he stared at her with sharp eyes. "Your grandmother hasn't divorced me yet."
Grace's heart trembled.
They weren't divorced?
"According to the law, living apart for more than two years can act as a ground for divorce. You have been separated for almost 50 years. Thus, it can be considered as you have divorced 25 times." Alice bluntly said, "It's meaningless for you to say anything now."
"Yes, Grandpa." Zachary also said lightly, "There's no point talking about this now. Besides, you already have another wife. My grandmother will not be buried in the ancestral grave of the Lowe family. I will also move my father out of the ancestral grave and bury him next to my grandmother. They will have separate tombs. This has nothing to do with the Lowe family."
"You, don't you dare!" The old man shouted angrily, "If you dare to move your father's tomb out, I will not
forgive you easily."
"Why won't he dare?" Alice spoke up for Zachary, "Old man, I just realized that you are a huge playboy! You already have a wife, but you still want to marry my grandmother. After you married her, you treated her badly! You should not only feel sorry for your ex-wife, but to my grandmother as well. You are just a cunning fox pretending to be loyal!"
"My ex-wife is dead. She passed away." The old man trembled and said, "Why can't I remarry?".
"Oh, she died?" Alice pretended to be enlightened. "Since she died, why didn't you die with her for love? You even remarried my grandmother and treated her badly. You are a heartless man. Now, you are saying that you won't forgive my cousin easily. I really think you are ill, seriously ill."
"Aunt, this old man feels so confident in himself." Little Gary said, "Can't you see that? He thinks that he is great. He is very confident. He thinks that he is the one who has the final say in the world. He is a self-centered person who would rather let down the world than have other people let him down. Why would you waste your time on him?"
"That's right." Alice nodded instantly. "What a good nephew. Your conclusion is very accurate."
"You, you are only so young and you dare to disobey your elders!"
"Whose elder are you?" Alice said coldly, "We don't even know who you are. Since when did we have an elder like you?"
"I am your grandfather!" The old man shouted.
"No, you are not!" Alice said loudly, "My grandmother said that my grandfather has been dead for more than 50 years. The most regrettable thing in her life is getting married to my grandfather. She wandered from place to place and endured many hardships. If there is a next life, she would rather marry a man from a wild village than marry that old b*stard."
