Chloe frowned. “You can check the family records if you doubt me.”
“Records?” Willow sneered. “You think the Quall family records are something anyone can just flip through? Do you take the Qualls for a joke?”
“Those records are open to every Quall by blood!” Chloe shot back.
One of the rich kids with Willow burst outughing. “Do you really think having the samest name makes
you one of the Qualls?<b>” </b>
“Exactly,” another chimed in. “Plenty of people in Yarfdale are named Quall, but that doesn’t make them a Quall from Yarfdale. Just look at you, clinging to that name while dreaming of sneaking your parents‘
ashes into the memorial hall. What a joke.”
Chloe ignored the jeers and turned to the guard. “Please contact Uncle Winston. He knows who I am and
can vouch for me.”
“How dare you call him that?” Willow snapped.
“He’s my uncle. Why shouldn’t I?” Chloe retorted.
“Are you stupid?” asked a round–faced woman standing next to Willow. “In the Quall family, names aren’t chosen at random. They’re passed down through generations.
“You’re Chloe, right? I’ve never heard of that name before. If you’re going to pretend to be from the Qualls, at least do your homework first.”
The woman was Dakota Meyer. She was Willow’s best friend. Their families had business ties, and she was loyal to Willow. Her remark made the whole group burst intoughter again.
Chloe pursed her lips. Her name didn’t follow the family’s naming custom because of what happened to the previous generation. Still, she didn’t owe them an exnation.
She turned back to the guard, “Please, could you give Uncle Winston a call?”
“I…” The guard nced at Willow uneasily.
“Uncle Winston isn’t here today, so I’ll handle this in his ce,” Willow cut in.
Her smile turned evil as she looked at Chloe. “Not just anyone can bring ashes or ce a que inside the Quall Family Memorial Hall, Chloe. Even if you had some distant connection to the family, you’ll never
put your parents‘ urn here. So take your stuff and leave.”
Chloe’s face hardened. “On what grounds<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Dakota let out a mockingugh. “On the grounds that Willow is from the main branch of the Quall family. She could kick you out of Yarfdale if she wanted to!”

“So the main branch can abuse their power however they want?” Chloe asked coldly.
“Even if she did, no one would fight back!” Dakota shot back. “Willow not only has the Qualls behind her but also Brian Steele. They’re childhood friends. Willow just needs to talk with Brian for you to get kicked out of not only Yarfdale, but also Alverton.”
“Is that so? Then I’d like to hear it from Brian himself,” Chloe replied tly.
Chloe’s words reminded Dakota ofst night. She had seen her with Brian at the restaurant.
“Do you think you matter more to him than Willow does? They’re not just ordinary childhood friends.
Willow and Brian are-<b>” </b>
“That’s enough, Dakota.” Willow cut her off and red at Chloe. “Chloe, this is the Quall Family Memorial Hall. Whatever your so–called rtionship with Brian is, he has no authority here. Let me be clear that
you’re not setting foot inside.”
“What right do you have to do this?” Chloe’s voice was like steel.
“I have every right!” Willow dered. “As long as I deem you unfit to set foot inside this hall, then these men won’t let you through.”
Chloe looked at the guards. They stood still, awaiting Willow’smand.
“You won’t let me in even though I’m part of the Quall family?” she growled.
“I won’t. If I say no, then it’s a no,” Willow said firmly. Chloe had humiliated her in front of Brian, and she wasn’t going to let her off easily.
“Unbelievable!” Chloe red at Willow. “The Quall family motto is loyalty, honor, and kindness. The rules demand that families support each other in hard times. Yet you won’t even let me set foot in the hall.
What kind of reasoning is that?”
Willow’s face stiffened. She hadn’t expected Chloe to know the family motto,
“My word is the only rule here. Get her out of my sight. I won’t have her defiling the hall,” Willow ordered.
The guards moved in. “Please leave.”
Chloe clutched the urn tighter, her eyes fixed on the doors of the hall. She hade to Yarfdale only to find herself barred from her own family’s memorial hall.
If James and Walter could see how she was denied even the right to step inside, what would they think?
“Leave!” Dakota and the others jeered.
Willow smirked. She wanted Chloe to see the gap between them, to feel the sting of humiliation. “Get her to leave before she disturbs Great–Grandpa. None of us will be forgiven if she does.”
The guards stepped closer to Chloe, trying to drive her away.
Chapter 59 Chloe Fights Back at the Memorial Hall Gates
Eager <b>to </b>curry favor from Willow, one of them lunged at Chloe.
Chloe cradled the urn in both hands, then swiftly kicked the man clean off his feet.
It took everyone by surprise. No one could’ve imagined Chloe could so effortlessly send a burly man tumbling to the ground.
“You’re asking for it!” the man snarled, scrambling to his feet. He immediately swung his fist at Chloe with
even greater ferocity.
She sidestepped and kicked him back down, pinning him under her boot. The other guards watched in fear. The man beneath her was the toughest fighter among them.
Chloe took a deep breath and nted her foot firmly on the ground. She held the urn high up with both arms. Draped across it was a folded g.
She shouted, “I, Chloe Quall of the Quall family, have brought the ashes of my parents, Walter Quall and Jenna Knight. Open the doors!”
The crowd froze, and Willow’s face went pale.
Passersby on the street had heard Chloe’s announcement loud and clear.
