Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 363

Chapter 363

Adam took this opportunity to save his brother. “Sir, she was my wife. When I was at my lowest, she was there by my side to share my burden. We will always be grateful to her for that; why would we expel her from the family?”

Just one look at Adam had Lone Wolf’s temper rising and he was sorely tempted to beat up the man before him.

He had heard about how this man was always bullying Zeke, Lacey, and even Daniel and Hannah.

In the end, he still managed to forcefully tear his gaze away and push his violent feelings aside. Now was not the time to teach that wretched man a lesson.

His silence caused the atmosphere to become awkward and tense.

Trying to break the tension, Aaron called out, “Hey you, the exhumation team! What are you guys still doing standing around? Get to work!”

The team immediately did as ordered, heading to the ancestral plots and shoveling at the ground.

Eyeing the men, Lone Wolf sneered as he commented, “It should be your family’s honor to have my savior be buried with them, yet here you are trying to bury her in a lower position than your ancestors? What nonsense is this?”

“My apologies, Sir. My instructions were not clear enough instructions,” Aaron rushed to answer.

Turning to the working men, he ordered, “Stop! Who told you to place her there. As I said many times before, we need to bury her at the front of the cemetery...”

The words had barely left his lips when he shuddered. Everyone else was also taken aback at how things had played out.

They could not help but be reminded of what Zeke had said earlier: Aaron would be begging to bury Daniel’s mother at the head of the Hinton family ancestral graves.

Now, his words had come true.

Was Zeke some sort of seer that could predict the future?

Preposterous!

There could only be one explanation, and that was Zeke already knew beforehand that Daniel’s mother was the savior of the almighty general.

But if the Hinton family did not even know this, then how could an outsider like him find out about it?

Unless...he knew the general?

That very thought plunged everyone into fear.

It did not take long to officially move Daniel’s mother into her new resting place.

This had the onlookers outside the gates jeering and mocking.

“Hahaha, the very first plot of the Hinton family ancestral graves is actually an outsider! How strange.”

“Well, she is the savior of the general. It should be the family’s honor to have her there.”

“I just wonder if anyone who doesn’t know the truth would laugh their ass off if they saw it.”

Aaron’s cheeks reddened when he overheard them talking. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking at him, Lone Wolf said, “Start the ceremony.”

Aaron obligingly shouted, “Let the ceremony begin.”

For the second time that day, somber music rang out.

Zeke went to Daniel’s side. “Dad, let’s go pay our respects as well.”

By that point, tears were flowing uncontrollably down the older man’s face.

A dream that had lasted more than a decade had finally been fulfilled. His mother was officially buried with the Hinton family ancestors, which made her one of them.

At long last, he would not need to bear the guilt of failing her anymore. He did not want to feel like that ever again!

With Hannah holding on to his bicep, he moved to queue up so that they could pay their respects.

Behind them, Lacey did the same with Zeke.

Nancy was still frozen to the spot.

She had absolutely no idea how Zeke Williams could have possibly known who the savior of the almighty general was.

Does he know the general? She would rather die than choose to believe that.

“There’s something fishy going on with that guy,” she murmured to herself before joining the line.
