Marry My Ex’s Uncle After Rebirth by Agatha Barney

Chapter 75

In the funeral home chapel, everyone was dressed in black. Grief decorated their faces as sighs could be heard incessantly.

Not far from the crystal coffin were Stephanie and Vincent, greeting the guests who came to offer their condolences.

After the Hayes family rushed over and were criticized thoroughly, they resentfully stood on the other side of the crystal coffin.

Matilda was shooting fierce glares at Stephanie as if wanting to swallow the latter whole.

Horace sensed her anger and bumped her with his elbow, reminding her to restrain herself.

It was then that Matilda held herself back.

Florence turned her gaze and approached Stephanie in tears as she expressed her remorse,

However, as she continued sobbing, she seemed like she was about to faint, falling toward Vincent.

Vincent pressed his lips tightly, his glossy leather shoes moving slightly as he looked at the woman collapsing toward him.

Before he could do anything. Stephanie, standing at the side, grabbed a fistful of Florence’s hair and shoved her aside.

Florence yelled out in pain and fell to the ground, facing the crystal coffin.

Stephanie said coldly. “It seems like Grandpa’s passing greatly affected you. You’re even sobbing on the ground. Since you’re so devoted, kneel there until the end of the funeral. You can stand after Grandpa’s cremation is finished.”

Florence clenched her jaw, not expecting Stephanie to say something like that. That left the former to be unable to refute.

However, she was unwilling to let herself stay on her knees.

“Stephie, since you have such a good relationship with Grandpa, won’t you kneel with me?“.

Of course, Stephanie knew that Florence would try to get her involved, so she calmly said, “I spent the entire night yesterday praying to Grandpa. I’m sure he has already accepted my prayers. On the other hand, you guys should be showing some respect to Grandpa, shouldn’t you? As his son–and daughter–in–law, isn’t it unreasonable not to show him respect?”

The elders in the surroundings gradually criticized the Hayes family.

“Austin really did have a disrespectful son! Not only did he piss off his old man–he didn’t even want to pay Austin his final respects.”

“Yeah! Disrespectful children like them should be punished!”

“Austin shouldn’t forgive them even after death. Look at the immoral things they’ve done. I’m guessing karma is still catching up to them.”

Horace dragged Matilda to the crystal coffin and knelt on the ground.

Matilda felt indignant and glared at Stephanie, thinking, “I’m going to get my revenge one day!‘

The funeral host, Muriel Collier, first introduced Austin’s life. As everyone mourned for him, Muriel finally looked at Horace and said, “There’s a saying which I’m not sure you believe.”

Horace frowned. “What is it?”

Muriel said sternly, “When one had passed and if their loved ones pray before their coffins long enough, one would welcome a life of riches in their next

Chapter 75

The comers of Horace’s lips twitched as he thought, “Is this host here to cause trouble for me?”

Matilda was unwilling to do that and said directly, “I’ve never heard of that saying.”

Muriel looked at her and asked, “It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. After all, how many elderly people were cursed to death by their own family?”

Matilda retorted, “What do y

you mean by that? Who cursed that old prezer

Before she could finish speaking, a loud slap was delivered across her face. Horace roared angrily, “Shut up!”

Everyone present heard Matilda’s words and began a new round of criticism against her.

Horace, putting down his pride, said, “I’ll pray.”

He began kneeling and praying along with Matilda.

Stephanie watched the scene coldly without a hint of warmth in her eyes. Even if they were her parents, she did not waver,

‘They owe this to Grandpa. If they hadn’t locked him in the basement, Grandpa wouldn’t have gotten brain damage from the lack of oxygen. Ungrateful children like them deserve this kind of punishment.”

Florence had prayed much last night and felt like she was about to get a concussion. If she did it for longer, it might kill her.

Muriel looked at Florence, whose eyes were hazy. “Your parents are kneeling, so you should, too. Austin depends on you to accumulate his luck in the next life.”

Florence was rendered speechless

She turned to look at Stephanie. “Stephie is also a member of the Hayes family. Shouldn’t she help Grandpa out, too?”

Muriel waved his hand. “Didn’t she cut her ties with the Hayes family? She’s not a part of you anymore.”

Florence fell silent.

Muriel raised his chin. “Go on.”

Taking a deep breath, Florence had a fooling Stephanie had hired the host to cause trouble for her.

By the end of the prayers, all three of the Hayes family members were dizzy, especially Matilda and Florence, who almost collapsed onto the ground.

In the end, Horace held them up with one hand each that the two barely managed to get to their feet.

Muriel said, “To show your devotion, please continue to kneel until the end of the cremation.”

All three of them were wordless.

Austin’s comrades and close friends were invited to the funeral. There were nearly a hundred people, including Kevin,

Kevin was seething with anger at the sight of the three Hayes family members, wanting to drown their ears with lectures and scolding.

However, he felt much better after seeing the three on their knees.

During the funeral, the first and second branches of the Fletcher family also arrived.

In fact, Stephanie and Vincent were quite surprised to see the first branch attend. After all, their relationship had been so tense. They did not think the first branch was there to ease the relationship and were kept on high alert.

Austin’s cremation ended after an hour.

Stephanie glanced at the three’s swollen knees and snickered.

Then, she put on a pair of gloves, obtained the ashes through the furnace opening, and scooped them into a tray.

Next, she transported the ashes into an urn. After sealing it, she bowed respectfully.

She was incredibly grateful for the elderly man and was willing to bury him personal

Just then, Jubanna entered the funeral home chapel and came to Stephanie’s side, whispering. “The grave is ready. You can bury him right away upon

arrival,”

Stephanie nodded. “Okay.”

Julianna looked back at the three Hayes family members” miserable state and almost let out her laughter. “Just how much did I miss? I’ve already had Graham head to the grave himself, You don’t know how much we don’t get along with each other. We always contradict each other. So annoying.”

With a faint smile, Stephanie said, “Who knows? Maybe sparks will fly between those who don’t get along.”

Julianna pouted. “Absolutely not. He’s a straight guy when you’re free.”

uy that no woman can stand. Not to mention, I’m about to have a boyfriend. I’ll introduce him to you

Somehow. Stephanie was on guard against the man she had never met.

She nodded lightly. “Okay.”

Vincent did not inform anyone else on his side. Joseph, Willow, and Glovanni were off to escort Kevin to island Naluwai, so the only one who came t

funeral was Graham

to the

Since Stephanie only had Julianna with her and arrangements were needed at the grave, she assigned Julianna and Graham over there

Unexpectedly, the two did not seem to get along in their new meeting.

Aher the host had presented some words of farewell, he accompanied Stephanie out of the funeral home chapel with the urn in her hand.

Julianna held up the umbrella for Stephanie as the rain grew heavier while the latter got into the car.

Zane also held an umbrella over Vincent and helped the latter into the passenger seat.

With that, the car drove toward the cemetery.

A hint of viciousness flashed through Raphael’s and Lorelai’s eyes as they cursed inwardly, ‘We’ll definitely get revenge against that bitch who kicked Douglas out of the Fletcher family, took his name out from the family registry, and made him kneel before her in public!”

According to Douglas, Vincent was pretending to be crippled. As long as they exposed that he had recovered, someone would come to deal with him.

Of course, they could not miss out on such a good opportunity.

Just as the two were about to get in the car, the three Hayes family members walked over, supporting each other on their feet.

Lorelai felt her blood boil after seeing them. She raised her hand and gave each person a slap.

Matilda was already dizzy from kneeling for too long and was dumbfounded for a moment after being slapped.

Horace was the first to react. “Why did you hit us?”

Lorelai screamed, “Because I want to Look at what your daughter has donel She got Stephanie to be her vocal double, plagiarized Stephanie’s rough sketch, and was so stingy while recording for a movie! What can she do other than bring Fantasy Boutique down? She even spread rumors about my son being impotent! I’m going to rip her mouth out today!”

Matilda was infuriated and pulled on Lorelai’s hair. “Your son is useless while he fools around with other women all day! Right, and he’s impotent now as well! That’s the truth. How laughable is that? Now, you can only wall while your bloodline ceases to exist. No matter how incompetent Flora is, your son is still not good enough for her!”

“What did she mean by calling me incompetent? It might not be an outright insult, but it’s still offensive nonetheless! Florence thought.

Raphael pulled the two women apart, and Matilda even scratched his face. He glared at Horace and warned, “Keep an eye or those two idiots! No matter how bad of a situation we are in, it’s still easy for us to end the Hayes family”

Horace was being suppressed everywhere right then, and all he could do was endure it.

Raphael whispered to Lorelai, “We Have more important things to do, Let’s go.”

It was not until Lorelal was reminded of Douglas request that she regained her senses.

After leaving fierce glares at the Hayes family, they left in a hurry.

With tears in her eyes, Florence asked, “Dad, why did you let them go just like that?”

Horace glared at her. “You’ve caught Mr. Hennesey’s attention. I’ll take you to a gathering a few days later.”

Florence looked at him in surprise. “Dad”

Matilda was also shocked. “Honey, you—”

Horace huffed. “Keep your mouths shut!”

Panicked, Matilda humedly said, “Why don’t we look for Viv

She immediately stopped speaking after meeting Horace’s stare.

Florence was finally smart for once and caught the focus point of their conversation.
