At the mont Mabel Quinn saw Granny Taylor’s morial photo, her tears could no longer be controlled, and the butler beside her handed a set of white mourning clothes to Mabel Quinn.
These mourning clothes could only be worn by direct family mbers of the Quinn family, and thus, when the butler gave them to Mabel Quinn, she was stunned. Alessia Quinn, who had been keeping watch at the morial hall, also jumped up, "Butler Zhang, how could you give the mourning clothes to Mabel Quinn? She simply doesn’t have the right to wear them!"
Butler Zhang said, "I’m just following the instructions of the master." The master in his words was naturally Edward Quinn, the head of the Quinn family.
Alessia Quinn was stifled, and Edward Quinn calmly said, "I asked Butler Zhang to give the mourning clothes to Mabel." As he spoke, he walked over to Mabel Quinn, "Granny always liked you during her lifeti, so send her off properly. I’m sure she would be happy in the afterlife to know that."
Christopher Quinn frowned and stepped forward, "Brother, but having Mabel wear mourning clothes is simply inappropriate, isn’t it?"
"Inappropriate? Which rule does it violate?" Edward Quinn’s gaze coldly swept over his brother.
Seeing his brother’s clearly displeased expression, Christopher naturally didn’t dare to say anything more. Mabel Quinn put on the mourning clothes and stood silently to the side, while Alessia Quinn angrily glared at Mabel, only feeling that soone from a separated family had no right to stand there wearing the sa mourning clothes as her!
Soone who didn’t know might even think that Mabel Quinn was the young lady of the Quinn family!
But Mabel Quinn had no mind for Alessia’s malicious gaze, nor cared about what the main family or other separated family mbers thought. She only wanted to accompany Granny Taylor on her last journey and to keep vigil properly.
Mabel Quinn stood there silently, and when soone ca to offer incense, she bowed along with the other family mbers.
By the evening, the Harris family also arrived. The Harris family and the Quinn family were both prestigious families in City J, naturally having so connections. With Granny Taylor’s passing, the Harris family also needed to send their respects.
Daniel Harris, along with his parents and so seniors from the Harris family, all attended. Daniel Harris, upon seeing Mabel Quinn wearing mourning clothes at the morial hall, was slightly surprised.
After offering incense and bowing three tis to Granny Taylor, Daniel Harris walked over to Mabel Quinn. Seeing her eyes still filled with tears, he said softly, "Don’t be sad. The deceased has passed. Your granny would surely not want you to be too upset over her matters."
Mabel Quinn choked up slightly and said, "Thank you."
In such a situation, Daniel Harris couldn’t say much more, so he simply patted Mabel Quinn’s shoulder lightly, then took out his handkerchief and slipped it into her hand.
This scene, however, made Alessia Quinn even more upset! Earlier, when she read those gossip news and learned that Mabel Quinn and Kyle Kinston had broken up, she clapped with joy. After all, how could a fallen mber of a separated family like Mabel Quinn live better than her, the young lady of the main family?!
But now, in the morial hall, the Crown Prince of the Harris family was showing such a tender side to Mabel Quinn, making Alessia’s frustration rise again.
"Mabel Quinn, even if you want to seduce soone, don’t do it in front of Granny’s morial hall. What kind of decorum is this! Do you want others to laugh at the Quinn family!" Alessia Quinn said, feeling her words were skillfully spoken, directly pinning a big hat on Mabel Quinn.
