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.

Thus, 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.

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.
