Chapter 570


    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''sst


    wish."


    "Aunt Nerissa, please don''t me yourself." Alice also spoke tofort 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 andplicated. 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 foring."


    "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 toe 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 exining, "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 richdy 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 workce.


    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 simplyughed 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


    woulde up with some evil ideas if he''s not able to achieve his goal."


    "Yes, that''s possible," Zachary added.


    "What should we do then?"


    Alice subconsciously started to get nervous.


    "What are you afraid of?" Zachary was very confident as he affirmed them, "We already have


    everything now. We don''t need to be afraid of him anymore. If we start worrying again, wouldn’t all our


    efforts be a joke?"


    "Zachary, you''re amazing." Hearing this, Alice immediately gave him a thumbs-up with a bright smile.


    Nerissa also grinned andforted Alice, "You don''t have to be afraid. Charles is very cunning and


    might even make things more difficult for you.


    However, we still have Master Lowe. At least in the years that I''ve married into this family, he had never


    been harsh on us other than his stubborn temper.


    That''s why Zachary, no matter what, is your grandpa. Don''t cross the line with him when you do things."


    "Is that old man good at handling things?" Alice was baffled. "But all I saw just now was an


    unreasonable old man."


    "Don''t mind him; he''s getting old." Nerissa said, "He''s Philip''s father after all."


    "Aunt Nerissa, I''m sorry." Alice was a woman of words. "I really don''t like that old man. Every time I


    think of how he abandoned my grandma, I can''t force myself to like him."


    Nerissa nodded to show her understanding. "I understand your feelings."


    After thinking for a while, Grace said, "Alice, Aunt Nerissa is the daughter- in-w of the Lowe family


    after all. She has been living in the Soutnd for decades and has to consider her mother''s family.


    Since she''s in a dilemma, we shouldn''t pressure her."


    Nerissa was a little surprised and looked at Grace. She didn''t expect that Grace could understand why


    she was in such a dilemma.


    She smiled and said softly, "What a considerate child. I don''t want to ask you of anything, but I just


    hope that Zachary would live as an honest man."


    "Aunt Nerissa, I understand." Grace could understand her thoughts as well.


    Zachary then said, "Mom, don''t worry. I know what to do."


    "Now, it seems that Master Lowe didn''t stop us. He also meant to ce Grandma''s ashes at the


    ancestral tomb." Heinz spoke again, "What are you going to do?"


    "I won''t allow that to happen." Zachary answered, "I want them to beg us to do that."


    Heinz said, "Since he has something he needs from you and is perhaps targeting me too, he might do


    everything he can to get what he wants."

    "If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case," Zachary agreed.


    "But Zachary," Grace still felt worried and said, "I am afraid that Grandma''s ashes will be a tool for


    their revenge if they can''t achieve their purpose. If they can''t get what they want, they would take


    advantage of her ashes."


    Zachary''s eyes shed at this reminder, and he gazed into Heinz''s eyes.


    When the two men looked into each other''s eyes, there was a sh of insight in them.


    "Grace is right." Heinz stated, "Perhaps you should consider this."


    Zachary smiled lightly and replied, "That''s for sure. I''ve considered it, but I didn''t expect that Grace


    would bring it up. It seems that this is very likely to happen."


    Heinz smiled in return and continued, "When Master Lowe left just now, he took a long look at the


    ashes.


    I advise you to hide the ashes as it won''t be safe if left unprotected for the night."


    Zachary was stunned to hear this and then nodded. "You are right. I should deal with everything and


    make early preparations."
