Chapter 919
Yes, it is a happy occasion that Grandpa is reunited with Aunt Juliana's daughter. However, if Old Mr. Quinn didn't
claim Aunt Juliana as his own daughter, Grandma would not have died.
Zayne's remarks reminded everyone of their grandmother's early passing, and they grew resentful.
The air grew thick with tension. Armand's calm and composed voice rang as he said, “Zayne, your father is back
now. You should ask him if you have any questions in mind.”
Only then did the Zeiglers notice Armand and cast glances in his direction.
He was sitting on the same couch as Felix and wearing a shirt of the same color as Genevieve's dress. Though his
sculpted features were cold and hard, he looked quite calm and amiable.
Then again, he also gave off a formidable aura that would make people think twice before approaching him.
Even Felix, a seasoned politician who was senior to Armand by many years, could not help but feel intimidated by
the young man.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThus, the other younger members of the Zeigler family dared not utter a single word in front of Armand.
Herbert was not pleased that Armand had taken such a strong stance in his presence, as he felt the latter was
challenging his authority in the family. Then again, the old man knew that Armand was merely being protective of
Genevieve.
If Herbert was not around, Armand would not have only uttered two polite sentences to Zayne.
“I have summoned all of you here today not only to introduce Genev to all of you but also to tell you guys that since
my granddaughter has been reunited with me, I am glad to announce that I wish to move on from past grievances.
So, do not blame me for being ruthless to those who insist on going against my wishes!”
Herbert used to be a commanding general, and he was a well-respected man for his leadership. Though he had
retired, he had not lost the cadence in his voice. He scanned the room, making all the younger members of the
Zeigler family tense up in response.
“Do you hear me?”
“Yes,” Phineus replied first. Then, he looked at his children and said, “Did you guys hear what Grandpa said?”
Yuvan and the others nodded.
However, Zayne was still unwilling to yield. Phineus gave him a kick in the shin as a warning, and he finally relented.
Just when they were in the midst of the conversation, a housekeeper came into the living room and invited all to
have lunch in the dining room.
Herbert asked Genevieve to sit by his side and continued chatting with his granddaughter. The old man also kept
picking out Genevieve's favorite foods for her while wearing a toothy grin.
Some people were still doubting Genevieve's identity and wanted to put her in a difficult position. They attempted to
put her down by comparing their grandmother with Genevieve's mother, mocking that the latter was only a trophy
wife, while their grandmother had been the official translator of Lumonburg.
Genevieve was not at all offended. Instead, she replied to her cousin's snide comment by saying with a smile, “Well,
some traits could be inherited intergenerationally, and I believe that I have inherited some of her best traits.”
Then, she spoke eight or nine languages fluently to showcase her talents.
Even though there were many intelligent people in the world, and learning a new language was not an arduous task
for them, some of her cousins had read on the news that Genevieve was already fluent in multiple languages when
she was still in middle school. It had not taken her a lot of effort to pick them up either. It was as if Genevieve was
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmborn with an innate talent for multiple languages.
In addition, their grandmother had learned to play the violin from a very young age and was a renowned violinist
worldwide.
Genevieve had learned to play the violin when she was young too. However, she had only treated it as nothing
more than a hobby and did not continue practicing it. Even so, she had a perfect pitch, and the song that she
produced managed to go viral online.
The parallels of talents that Genevieve shared with their grandmother and the photo of her mother convinced
everyone that Genevieve was indeed Juliana's daughter. Hence, no one raised concerns about her identity
anymore.
All the members of the Zeigler family had been summoned on short notice, and they had work to attend to. Hence,
they left right after having lunch.
Genevieve wanted to accompany Herbert some more. However, the old man waved his hands to dismiss her.
“Phineus is on leave today. It's good enough to have him around. Why don't you take Armand out for a spin?”
Then, he cast a glance at Armand and said, “I'm afraid that he will take you right back to Jadeborough if you
continue to ignore him for the rest of the day.”
