Chapter 504

After Bemard set the stage, accusations from the other members of the Rogers family came pouring in.

While Roland was alive, his obvious favoritism to Kevan offended many people.

At this moment, they wouldn’t let go of the chance to humiliate Kevan

Anthony had apologized on Kevan’s behalf and tried to smooth things over, but his efforts were completely ignored.

Bemard pointed his finger at Kevan and demanded, “You didn’t keep vigil for Old Mr. Rogers and even came late to the burial ceremony! A disobedient and disrespectful grandson like you has no share in your grandfather’s inheritance!”

Kevan had been suppressing his anger for some time as he didn’t want to cause a scene during the funeral lest they disturbed his grandparents’ rest.

When he heard his uncle’s demands, Kevan snorted coldly.

“Il my lardiness meant that I’m disrespectful the incident that your lamily caused at the funeral service would be a bigger sin than mine. Now that you seem to be stiming up another commotion in front of Grandpa and Grandma’s grave, aren’t you being disrespectful as well? How can they rest in peace?

The expression on Bernard’s face froze.

Kevan dropped a bomb. “I can give up my share of Grandpa’s inheritance.”

Everyone who heard this widened their eyes with shock. A few couldn’t help but start chuckling with glee.

Pointing at Bernard’s family, Kevan continued. “On the condition that none of you can receive your inheritance either. That would only be fair,

Bernard’s expression was as dark as thunder.

He spat with anger, “You unrepentant fool!

Kevan smirked. “I could say the same to you.”

Wiping the tears from his face. Edmund walked up to Bernard and bugged on his arm. “Dad, that’s enough. Kevan didn’t mean to come late After Edmund tried to defuse the situation, Bernard relented naturally.

At this rate, neither family would benefit if they were to confront Kevan head-on.

Glancing at Kevan with resentment, Bernard turned away in anger. “Fine. There’s no point arguing with an ingrate like him!”

When Bernard gave up, the other family members didn’t dare to say anything lurther as Kevan was still held in high regard within! family.

it was only because of his amnesia that the rest of the family followed Bernard’s lead in finding fault with Kevan.

The burial ceremony continued.

After the tombstone was placed, the family members lined up in rows to pay their respects, with Kevan and his family in the lead. Hanging her head. Violet couldn’t help but sob uncontrollably. Even Anthony, who rarely showed any emotions, had tears streaming his face.

Only Kevan appeared stoc

He remained expressionless from the start to the end of the ceremony, without losing control of his emotions for even a moment.

The other family members’ reactions were similar to Violet’s.

Some who were more dramatic knelt before Roland’s grave, wailing and weeping over the tombstone

Digging his nails into his flesh, Kevan watched quietly from one side, hoping that the pain would numb the surging emotions within him.

The Rogers family hosted a banquet at the Regal Dynasty Hotel to thank relatives and friends who made time to pay their respects to Roland

Kevan declined. “I can’t go to the banquet as I still have some work to attend to.”

“What, are you the only person who’s busy? Do you think the rest of us are just idling around? Felix said sarcastically.

Anthony also tried to persuade Kevan. “Stay back for the meal. I won’t take up much of your time.”

Kevan reluctantly agreed. “Alright then.”

During the banquet, Kevan was the center of attention.

Many of the guests came up to him to strike up a conversation or for a toast making Berard and Felix’s families grit their teeth in frustration

However, the guests had a sense of propriety as most of them were important figures of the business world.

They avoided talking about business attairs, only offering their condolences to Kevan

Kevan’s uncles couldn’t find fault with him, so they could only sulk in a comer.
