Chapter 87 Reuniting With Laura
“Because without them, the Bridger family wouldn’t be where it is today<b>!</b><b>” </b><b>a </b>stern <b>voice </b>rang <b>out</b>,
Quinn looked up and saw that her uncle, Moldred, had arrived at some point. His expression was <b>serious</b>.
Marley’s face immediately twisted with embarrassment.
<i>Why </i><i>does </i><i>it </i><i>have </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>Uncle </i><i>Moldred</i><i>? </i><i>In </i><i>the </i><i>Bridger </i><i>family</i><i>, </i><i>he </i><i>is </i><i>the </i><i>one </i><i>I </i><b><i>feared </i></b><i>most</i>.
“Marley, apologize properly to the ancestors and fallen heroes of the Bridger family. If it <b>weren’t </b><b>for </b><b>their </b>sacrifice, you wouldn’t be enjoying the life you have now,” Moldred said.
Marley bit her lip. Her current life, in her eyes<b>, </b>hade at the cost of her own eye.
Even the Bridger family’s current status and wealth were, as she saw it, built on her sacrifices.
And yet Moldred was taking Quinn’s side!
“You’re still not apologizing?” Moldred’s tone grew harsher.
Marley had no choice but to bow her head and offer a grudging apology.
Moldred then turned to Quinn. “Quinn, you’re not alone. No matter what, the Bridger family will always have your back.”
“I know,” Quinn replied.
As she walked out of the ancestral hall, her phone rang.
She answered it, and Laura’s voice rang out. “Where are you now?”
“In Yarburn,” Quinn replied.
“Of course I know you’re in Yarburn. I’m asking for your exact location.”
“Right outside the Bridger family ancestral hall.”
“Great. I’ll meet you there in half an hour,” Laura said.
Quinn blinked. “What do you mean? Wait, are you in Yarburn?”
“Yeah, I justnded. See you soon!” Laura said and hung up.
Quinn stared at her phone, then smiled at the thought of seeing her friend again.
Since the ancestral hall was located downtown, there were plenty of small restaurants <b>nearby</b><b>. </b><b>She </b><b>picked </b>one and sat down to wait.
Thirty minutester, not only did she see Laura, but also Han.
As soon as Han saw Quinn, he gave her a big hug. “I missed you so much.”

Quinn chuckled and ruffled his hair like he was a golden retriever. “Okay, I know<b>. </b><b>Why </b><b>didn’t </b><b>you </b>tell <b>me </b>you wereing on the phone?<b>” </b>
Han just smiled and said nothing. He’d wanted to see the look on her face when she saw him unexpectedly.
“Okay, I’m starving. Let’s eat something here,” Laura said.
Neither Quinn nor Han objected.
The ce was a simple, local eatery serving traditional Yarburn dishes.
The three of them ordered a few dishes and began to eat together.
“I heard about what happened at the airport from Laura. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there with you,” <b>Han </b>said apologetically. Something urgent hade up that day, and he hadn’t gone to the airport.
If he’d known things would go the way they did, no matter how important it was, he would have dropped everything to be by her side.
“It wasn’t your fault. No need to apologize!” Quinn said.
“But I…”
Suddenly, Quinn’s phone rang.
She picked it up and answered. Julius‘ voice came through. “Where are you?”
“Having a meal at a small restaurant near the ancestral hall,” Quinn replied.
“A small restaurant?” Julius‘ voice paused slightly, then after a moment, he asked, “Are you eating with the son of the Ingram family?”
Quinn froze. She looked up, and there he was. Julius was standing at the entrance of the office building right across the street, staring at her through the ss window of the restaurant.
