Chapter 1630 Moment of Conferral

Ceremony venue.

Here was an open-air venue belonging exclusively to the militaryfaction, located by the canal near the command building.

The weather today was exceptionally fine, the sky a bright blue withbillowing white clouds.

The expansive river water flowed and rippled, golden sunlightscattering down, the water's surface glittering and dazzling, too brightfor the eyes, gorgeously resplendent.

The platform for the medal conferral ceremony was already set up,surrounded by lights that swept colorful beams into the sky, painting theheavens in a riot of colors.

Solemn and stirring military music sounded.

Dewey stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, "SupremeCommander arrives!"

A blinding white light shone down, illuminating Ralph's straight andupright heroic figure.

He wore formal military dress uniform, strode toward the platform, withJoyce following behind him.

The soldiers on either side of them immediately saluted, standingramrod straight, reverent and deferential.

Such a scene could not help but command awe.

The dazzling lights shifted back, falling upon Joyce walking behindRalph.

She wore proper military dress uniform, the stars on her epaulettessparkling, her perfect face and aloof air immediately becoming thefocus of the entire venue.

Brimming with heroic spirit yet alluringly charming, the various qualitiesblended into a unique aura.

Wisdom, courage, beauty all concentrated in one person.

Ralph and Joyce walked toward the platform, nodding slightly to theofficers and soldiers around them as they went.

The atmosphere was solemn and stirring, compelling veneration.Cecelia sat in the front row of the stands, smiling as she watched it all.The century-old military faction had finally taken on a new look, and theHeath family finally had a formal successor. She felt especially gratified,feeling that the bitterness of the past twenty odd years and wrong turnswalked had all been worthwhile.

She gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, sighing softly. If you'rewatching from heaven, Zachary, you should be able to rest in peacenow.

Luther stood below the platform with Anderson, his eyes fixed upon her,deeply moved.

Now she shone as brilliantly as the stars in the sky. Sometimes he evenfelt she was so distant, he almost couldn't believe she belonged to him,if not for having her by his side each day.

"Wow, Mom is so cool.” Anderson said in a low voice, clappingexcitedly.

"Does Andres want to be this cool in the future too?" Juanita hadarrived at some point, quietly coming to Anderson's side without himnoticing.

She bent down, leaning to Anderson's ear. "You're the eldest son. In thefuture the rank of Young Commander should rightfully go to you first.What do you think? Look forward to it?"

Anderson gave Juanita a blank look. “I don't want something handed tome. Save it for my younger brothers, whoever wants it can have it."“You brat!" Juanita poked Anderson's head. "Look at you acting all highand mighty. What, you look down on it? Got some big ambitions tomake your own way? Think you can surpass your dad?"

Anderson was speechless, retorting, "How can a sparrow know theambition of a swan?"

"Ahhh! Who's a sparrow!" Juanita was about to shriek when Karlgrabbed her back.

"Quiet, this is a formal public occasion." Karl reminded her.

Juanita reluctantly stood straighter. "Even you think I'm noisy?"

Karl smiled faintly. “I wouldn't dare. My noble wife."

At that, Juanita was rendered speechless. Karl's sudden sweet talk lefther dumbfounded. Ever since she got pregnant, she was discoveringmore and more that he had her wrapped around his finger.

After all, he was trained in law, studied criminal psychology. Graspedpeople's psychology very well.

No matter if she was throwing a tantrum, or being quiet, or makingtrouble, he always seemed to have a way to handle her.

Juanita sighed. She had well and truly fallen into his hands.

Kane was also here today. The military faction's internal conferralceremony only allowed a small number of media to attend. WithJoyce's connections, Roberts Media obtained a special entry pass, soKane came along too.

Kane's assistant carried a video camera, shooting footage as hepraised, "So cool, Mr. Roberts, so this is the older sister you're alwaysgoing on about? What a pity she's married with kids already. You don'tstand a chance, Mr. Roberts.”

"Shut your mouth and focus on working." Kane glared fiercely at hisassistant. He had let go, now only wishing Joyce well. But being blithelyreminded still made him feel bad.

Joyce smiled. "Forgot you were here t00."

Kane looked aggrieved. "Ah, now I'm forgotten, relegated to a corner.Sis, you don't manage the QR Technology company anymore, leaving itall to me alone. Sis, when are you coming back to QR Tech?"

Luther couldn't help interjecting, "Let's not talk business today."

"Oh, alright.” Kane pouted.

"Sis, you stand there and I'll take photos of you guys. I'll make sure totake really great shots." Kane took the professional camera from hisassistant, getting ready to photograph Joyce and Juanita.
