After sitting down again, Nerissa apologised to Heinz, Grace, and Alice.
"Heinz, Grace, Alice, I'm sorry you had to see that... It's embarrassing."
"Aunt Nerissa, it's okay. We are a family." Heinz said, "We have heard about the situation long ago, and we had expected this to happen."
"Yes, Aunt Nerissa." Grace nodded and added, "Heinz is right, we have been expecting this result. As long as Zachary and you miss Grandma, I'm satisfied enough. Besides, this is also Uncle Philip's last wish."
"Aunt Nerissa, please don't blame yourself." Alice also spoke to comfort Nerissa, "In fact, both of you and Zachary have been wronged for all these years."
"Silly child." Nerissa smiled gently. "I don't have any grievances.
Philip and Zachary had always protected me. Moreover, Philip had truly worked hard before passing.
However, the Lowe family was huge and complicated. He was alone and had no help, so he had failed to bring your grandma home while she was still alive.
This was his greatest regret, as well as mine.
Fortunately, Zachary has made great efforts and I have finally got the chance to meet all of you again.
I'm really gratified to receive your support too.
Dear children, let me propose a toast to you. Thank you for coming."
"Aunt Nerissa!" Grace was also very touched and she replied, "We are a family. There is no need to be so courteous."
"That's right, Mom!" Zachary agreed as he said, "We are indeed a family. Also, Grandma's cremation has been settled. Let's head to Northern City."
"You want me to come along?" Nerissa asked him in surprise.
"Of course. Otherwise, I won't be at ease if you were to stay here."
Nerissa nodded. "Well, whatever you say, I will listen to you. But Zachary, what was Charles talking about just now?"
Zachary told her and the others to take a seat before explaining, "At first, I wanted Grandma's tomb to be located in the Lowe family's ancestral tomb. I wouldn't mind under the condition that Dad is allowed to be buried alongside Grandma."
"But Charles didn't object." Nerissa was taken aback and said, "That means he agreed to allow Grandma enter the ancestral tomb, right?"
"Yes. That's because he has a motive now." Zachary had easily discovered Charles's intention. He told them his thoughts, "Lowe Property is now facing a crisis and they are suffering from a great loss. He knows that I have money and wants me to invest in his properties. However, I have refused him several times."
"Oh, I see." Nerissa was originally a rich lady who lived a luxurious life. She had never gone out to work for the past years, hence she genuinely didn't know much about the things happening in the workplace.
Now that she heard Zachary's words, she somewhat understood the situation.
Heinz looked at Zachary and said, "Charles is still eyeing your money."
Zachary smiled and turned to Heinz, answering, "I'm afraid that he's also begun targeting you."
Heinz smiled and said nothing. Just now, he had observed Charles' change of attitude upon hearing his introduction.
It was ridiculous.
To have Zachary point it out so directly, Heinz simply laughed as if it was a joke.
Alice immediately frowned and said, "Zachary, Uncle Charles is so scary. He is such a snobbish man."
Zachary smiled slightly and did not express any opinion.
Heinz, however, responded, "It's not scary if he doesn't have a snob in mind. I’m only afraid that he would come up with some evil ideas if he's not able to achieve his goal."
