chapter 3 sever ties

Ned Scurr saw that the old man wanted to speak to the Shen family and stepped aside.

Because the old man did not let his children and grandchildren near the bedside, and because his last instructions to Ned Scurr were almost whispered into Ned Scurr ears, no one else in the Shen family could hear them clearly.

When the men, women, and children headed by Laban Sowden saw that the old man wanted to talk to them, they hurried to the bedside and ignored what the old man said to Ned Scurr.

"After I die, you are not allowed to embarrass Yuehua and Ned Scurr anymore. This can be regarded as my last words." The old man's words surprised the men, women and children who came to the bedside and looked at each other.

"Father...this..."Laban Sowden looked confused and hesitated.

"Kneel down..."

The old man's voice became cold and stern.

Perhaps it was too much effort to speak like this, and the old man coughed violently. The nursing staff stepped forward in time to caress the old man's chest, and whispered to the old man not to get too excited.

Laban Sowden's face was red, but he did not dare not to kneel down. No matter how old he was or how much authority he held, he did not dare or could not disobey the old man.

When other members of the Shen family saw Laban Sowden kneeling down, they also hurriedly knelt down.

"Give...swear to me..."

The old man was extremely weak after coughing violently.

The old man of the Shen family has always felt that his son, not to mention mediocre in qualifications, is also headstrong, and it is only because of his protection that he has come to where he is today.

The younger generation are all mediocre.

The future of the Shen family probably really depends on Ned Scurr.

He really couldn't rest assured if he didn't make some arrangements before his death.

Of course Laban Sowden knew what the old man was forcing him to swear, so he had no choice but to swear, "From now on, I will never embarrass Yuehua and Ned Scurr again. If you break this oath, you will not die a good death."

Swearing is nonsense to ordinary people.

But a person like Laban Sowden must fulfill the oath he swore in front of everyone, not to mention the oath he swore to an old man who was about to die.

Breaking an oath is tantamount to being unfilial.

"Well...as long as I live...keep in mind your oath..."

The old man's voice became lower and lower, and by the end, it was almost inaudible. This was a sign that the oil was running out.

Ned Scurr and the Shen family all stared at the old man silently.

The old man slowly closed his eyes.

Beep!

The electrocardiograph placed next to the bed beeps.

This notification sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble wildly. They all looked sideways and stared at the straight line on the ECG display.

Ned Scurr felt sad and slightly sad.

The old man of the Shen family has passed away, and an era has ended.

This also meant that his mother lost her last protective umbrella. From now on, he had to protect her and prevent her from continuing to bear the burden of humiliation.

"father……"

"grandfather……"

The Shen family cried.

Lauren Sowden also cried. The person who loved her most in the Shen family was gone, and her heart hurt like a knife.

Seeing his mother covering her face and crying bitterly, Ned Scurr quietly walked to her side, gently held her arms, and comforted her: "Mom, don't be too sad. The old man passed away at the age of 100. It's a happy mourning."

Lauren Sowden choked and nodded.

Full blessing, full life, and full death. If these three things are fulfilled, it means joy and mourning.

At the same time, the news of Mr. Shen's death spread through various means. The departure of a legendary figure is destined to attract worldwide attention.

How to manage the funeral next is no longer a family matter, but a major state matter.

Laban Sowden, who had been crying for a long time, stood up tremblingly, wiped the tears from his face, turned to look at Lauren Sowden and Ned Scurr, and the rest of the Shen family also looked sideways.

The cries faded.

The atmosphere in the room was even more depressing.

"From now on, you mother and son have nothing to do with our Shen family. You are not the Shen family. Naturally, the Shen family will no longer dislike you or look down upon you."

Laban Sowden said this to sever the blood relationship with Lauren Sowden .

"Father……"

"I no longer have a daughter."

Laban Sowden decisively interrupted Lauren Sowden.

Many years ago, Lauren Sowden thought that such a day would come sooner or later, but when that day came, she was still so sad that her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

It's not that she misses the power and wealth of the Shen family.

Her husband mysteriously disappeared and left her, and now she has been abandoned by her loved ones. The person who doted on her the most has also left this world.

Who can not be sad after encountering this series of blows?

"Send them mother and son away!"

Laban Sowden didn't want Lauren Sowden to stay even one minute longer.

Two bodyguards in black quickly came to Lauren Sowden , expressionlessly asking the mother and son to leave.

"Grandpa's funeral..."

"You are no longer the Shen family, so it has nothing to do with you."

Laban Sowden words broke Lauren Sowden's heart.

Lauren Sowden shed tears and turned around slowly. It was really time for her to leave the Shen family. With her grandfather gone, there was no one in the big Shen family worthy of her nostalgia.

Ned Scurr, who was supporting her mother, suppressed her anger and didn't say anything. She just wanted Laban Sowden to do the right thing so that her mother could give up and escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

The mother and son walked out step by step.

"What did the old man say to you before he died?"Laban Sowden asked Ned Scurr.

Ned Scurr did not look back at Laban Sowden and responded coldly, "Let me protect your Shen family from now on..."

Protecting the Shen family?

The Shen family looked at each other.

A helpless bastard will protect the Shen family in the future and cause trouble in the world. If the old man hadn't just passed away, many Shen family members would laugh.

How could the old man say such a thing?

No one believed Ned Scurr.

"Bad talk!"

Laban Sowden was furious and thought Ned Scurr was teasing him.

"That's what the old man said. Believe it or not."Ned Scurr put down these words and helped his mother to continue walking out. He didn't want to stay for even one minute longer in a family like the Shen family that valued interests over family ties.

The most ruthless emperor's family.

Ned Scurr slandered and despised the Shen family in his heart.

Laban Sowden pointed angrily at Ned Scurr back, his hands trembling with anger, but due to the oath he had sworn before, he could not do anything to Ned Scurr at this moment, and he almost suffered internal injuries from anger.

The Shen family watched helplessly as Ned Scurr and Lauren Sowden left.

"Dad, that bastard hurt Xiao Fei, how could you let him go?" The woman who said this was Laban Sowden's second daughter-in-law, who was also Homer Sowden's mother.

"The old man is gone. Such a big thing happened, but you only think about venting your anger on Homer Sowden. Are you out of your mind?"Laban Sowden angrily scolded his second daughter-in-law.

The second daughter-in-law of the Shen family was dumbfounded, then gritted her teeth in aggrievedness, not daring to refute or argue.

Ned Scurr, who was stared at by two bodyguards in black, looked back when he helped his mother out of the manor gate, not hiding his inner contempt and contempt.

Tel Zorn, the steward of the Shen family who was guarding the gate, secretly scolded Ned Scurr for showing off.

Ned Scurr beat Homer Sowden half to death and still came out unharmed, so that Tel Zorn only dared to curse Ned Scurr in his heart and did not have the courage to provoke him verbally.

Stunned.

Doomed to bad luck.

Tel Zorn watched Ned Scurr slowly walk away and smiled sinisterly, thinking that he had many ways to trick the arrogant and ignorant Ned Scurr to death.
