Chapter 91 A Tribute
From then on, as long as he was alive, he vowed to take good care of Quinn.
Upon seeing Murren bowing, everyone in the Bridger family followed suit, directing three respectful bows toward the memorial tablet of the fifth branch.
Marley, despite her unwillingness, had no choice but to bow along with everyone else under the current circumstances.
However, her resentment toward Quinn only grew deeper.
To her, Quinn was leveraging her position as a member of the fifth branch and child of two fallen heroes to earn Murren’s attention.
However, Murren’s health was deteriorating day by day, and it wouldn’t be long until he would no longer be able to care for Quinn.
Marley believed that, once the funeral was over, Quinn wouldn’t be important anymore due to the fifth branch’s position in the Bridger family.
Once everyone had bowed three times, Quinn gently picked up her parents‘ urns. She then took the lead, heading toward the entrance of the Bridger family ancestral hall.
The members of the Bridger family followed behind.
Marley couldn’t help but scoff in her mind. Without the support of the Bridger family, Quinn would have been left to carry the urn to the funeral all by herself today.
“Is there really a need for so many people to attend the funeral?” whispered someone of the same age as Marley.
“There’s no one left in their family now. If we don’t see them off, it’ll be too cold–hearted of us,” Marley said lightly, her tone steady as if stating a fact.
“True. If we weren’t here for the funeral, Quinn would’ve had to send her parents off all by herself. It would’ve been pitiful,” the other person said, trying to curry favor with Marley.
After all, many in the Bridger family knew about the previous incident at the entrance of the ancestral hall where Marley and Quinn became enemies.
Over the years, Marley rose within her family, largely due to her connection with Julius. Her status had led many of her peers to curry favor with her.
Marley smiled contentedly. “Yes, it really is quite pitiful.”
However, as everyone approached the entrance of the ancestral hall, the smile on Marley’s face froze.
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, two orderly rows of soldiers in uniform were standing.
Marley was stunned, staring in disbelief at everything happening at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Marley was completely taken aback. Why is he here? Is it also to attend Quinn’s parents‘ funeral? How could this be? Isn’t he the type of person who doesn’t care about this kind of thing? I recall he only ever attended two funerals, his mother’s and Mr. Edward’s. Does his appearance here mean Quinn’s parents occupy the same position as his mother and Mr. Edward in his mind?
