Chapter 1630 Moment Of Conferral

Chapter 1630 Moment of Conferral

Ceremony venue.

Here was an open-air venue belonging exclusively to the military

faction, located by the canal near the command building.

The weather today was exceptionally fine, the sky a bright blue with

billowing white clouds.

The expansive river water flowed and rippled, golden sunlight

scattering down, the water's surface glittering and dazzling, too bright

for the eyes, gorgeously resplendent.

The platform for the medal conferral ceremony was already set up,

surrounded by lights that swept colorful beams into the sky, painting the

heavens in a riot of colors.

Solemn and stirring military music sounded.

Dewey stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, "Supreme

Commander arrives!"

A blinding white light shone down, illuminating Ralph's straight and

upright heroic figure.

He wore formal military dress uniform, strode toward the platform, with

Joyce following behind him.

The soldiers on either side of them immediately saluted, standing

ramrod straight, reverent and deferential.

Such a scene could not help but command awe.

The dazzling lights shifted back, falling upon Joyce walking behind

Ralph.

She wore proper military dress uniform, the stars on her epaulettes

sparkling, her perfect face and aloof air immediately becoming the

focus of the entire venue.

Brimming with heroic spirit yet alluringly charming, the various qualities

blended into a unique aura.

Wisdom, courage, beauty all concentrated in one person.

Ralph and Joyce walked toward the platform, nodding slightly to the

officers and soldiers around them as they went.

The atmosphere was solemn and stirring, compelling veneration.

Cecelia sat in the front row of the stands, smiling as she watched it all.

The century-old military faction had finally taken on a new look, and the

Heath family finally had a formal successor. She felt especially gratified,

feeling that the bitterness of the past twenty odd years and wrong turns

walked had all been worthwhile.

She gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, sighing softly. If you're

watching from heaven, Zachary, you should be able to rest in peace

now.

Luther stood below the platform with Anderson, his eyes fixed upon her,

deeply moved.

Now she shone as brilliantly as the stars in the sky. Sometimes he even

felt she was so distant, he almost couldn't believe she belonged to him,

if not for having her by his side each day.

"Wow, Mom is so cool.” Anderson said in a low voice, clapping

excitedly.

"Does Andres want to be this cool in the future too?" Juanita had

arrived at some point, quietly coming to Anderson's side without him

noticing.

She bent down, leaning to Anderson's ear. "You're the eldest son. In the

future the rank of Young Commander should rightfully go to you first.

What do you think? Look forward to it?"

Anderson gave Juanita a blank look. “I don't want something handed to

me. Save it for my younger brothers, whoever wants it can have it."

“You brat!" Juanita poked Anderson's head. "Look at you acting all high

and mighty. What, you look down on it? Got some big ambitions to

make your own way? Think you can surpass your dad?"

Anderson was speechless, retorting, "How can a sparrow know the

ambition of a swan?"

"Ahhh! Who's a sparrow!" Juanita was about to shriek when Karl

grabbed her back.

"Quiet, this is a formal public occasion." Karl reminded her.

Juanita reluctantly stood straighter. "Even you think I'm noisy?"

Karl smiled faintly. “I wouldn't dare. My noble wife."

At that, Juanita was rendered speechless. Karl's sudden sweet talk left

her dumbfounded. Ever since she got pregnant, she was discovering

more and more that he had her wrapped around his finger.

After all, he was trained in law, studied criminal psychology. Grasped

people's psychology very well.

No matter if she was throwing a tantrum, or being quiet, or making

trouble, he always seemed to have a way to handle her.

Juanita sighed. She had well and truly fallen into his hands.

Kane was also here today. The military faction's internal conferral

ceremony only allowed a small number of media to attend. With

Joyce's connections, Roberts Media obtained a special entry pass, so

Kane came along too.

Kane's assistant carried a video camera, shooting footage as he

praised, "So cool, Mr. Roberts, so this is the older sister you're always

going on about? What a pity she's married with kids already. You don't

stand a chance, Mr. Roberts.”

"Shut your mouth and focus on working." Kane glared fiercely at his

assistant. He had let go, now only wishing Joyce well. But being blithely

reminded still made him feel bad.

Joyce smiled. "Forgot you were here t00."

Kane looked aggrieved. "Ah, now I'm forgotten, relegated to a corner.

Sis, you don't manage the QR Technology company anymore, leaving it

all to me alone. Sis, when are you coming back to QR Tech?"

Luther couldn't help interjecting, "Let's not talk business today."

"Oh, alright.” Kane pouted.

"Sis, you stand there and I'll take photos of you guys. I'll make sure to

take really great shots." Kane took the professional camera from his

assistant, getting ready to photograph Joyce and Juanita.
