Marley, still on her knees, felt her face fall again when she heard that. It was like Murren’s words were aimed straight at her!

Ever since she got involved with Julius, everyone in the Bridger family had started treating her with more respect. It had been ages since anyone dared humiliate her like this.

Quinn could tell that Murren truly cared about her.

“Sure. I’ll definitely come by and chat with you,” she promised.

As she walked out of the ancestral hall, she saw a lone figure standing still in the quiet clearing outside.

It was Julius.

Quinn stopped for a moment, stunned to see him still there. He had really been waiting for her.

As if sensing her gaze, he slowly looked up and met her eyes.

Their eyes locked, and something stirred deep inside Quinn’s chest.

Julius stepped forward, walking toward her. “Everything done?”

“Yes.” She nodded.

“They didn’t give you a hard time, did they?” he asked.

“No,” Quinn replied. “But why were you standing right outside the ancestral hall waiting?”

She had assumed he’d found somewhere nearby to sit and rest while he waited. She hadn’t expected him to literally stand in place the entire time.

She had been inside for over an hour.

Had he really been standing there that whole time?

“By standing here, I’d be the first to see you when you came out. Before anyone else.”

Quinn heard him say it just like that.

“But don’t you think… I mean, it’s a bit too attention–grabbing, and kind of exhausting too?” Quinn asked.

Julius was already striking enough in appearance. Standing right outside the Bridger family’s ancestral hall like that was bound to draw glances.

Just like now. She hadn’t been outside long, and several passersby were already sneaki..

“I don’t think so,” he said nonchalantly.

oks at him.

“Okay then.” Quinn rubbed her nose. In any case, the matter at the ancestral hall was done. “Let’s go back.

She took the lead and started walking.

“Quinn!” His voice suddenly called out behind her.

She paused, turning to look at him.

“You know, as long as you don’t walk away from me, I’ll always wait for you like this,” he said out of nowhere.

She blinked in surprise. What was that supposed to mean? Always wait for me?

However, Julius didn’t say anything further. He simply took Quinn by the hand and led her to the side of the road.

“You’re both coming?”

“Of course! It’s your parents‘ burial. There’s no way we’re missing that,” Laura said,

it was obvious.

Laura had met Montague and Arlene before. They had been wonderful people, knowledgeable, warm, and kind. But when danger came, they never backed down.

When she first found out about what had happened to them, she’d held Quinn and cried for a long time. Now that they were being laid to rest at the Hero’s Memorial Garden, of course she was going to be there

“That’s great. If my parents knew you two were coming to send them off, they’d be really happy,” Quinn said.

“Oh, one more thing.” Laura added. “Did you hear Sidonie got detained?”

“Detained?” Quinn was caught off guard.

“After what she did at the airport, causing a scene and disrespecting your parents‘ ashes, did she really think she’d get away with it?” Laura said. “It was the military who filed the report later, and there were tons of witnesses. She’s being held for ten days. It’s not a criminal conviction, but it still counts as an administrative penalty. That’s on her record now. Her career as a co–pilot? is over. She might not even qualify for that anymore.”

Just picturing Sidonie locked up in the detention center made Laura feel a wave of satisfaction.

“And Trent’s been running around trying to pull strings, hoping to get the penalty wiped from her record. But seriously, who’d dare get involved in something like this?”

The military was outraged when Sidonie showed disrespect toward the fallen heroes.

How could anyone expect the military to tolerate someone deliberately harassing the family of fallen heroes, even trying to open the urn to check the remains?
