Chapter 519

Anton leaned against the front of the car and smoked.
Ronan was kneeling down towards Theodore’s tombstone.
He tried to get up several times, but was pushed back down by Julianne.
I opened the car door and got out. Anton glanced at me, then walked towards the grave.
As we walked past, Ronan stood up and Julianne couldn’t press it down.
Julianne saw the situation and didn’t insist anymore. She quickly said to me and Anton, “You both saw it, he did indeed kneel down to this grave. When you go back, make sure to ask Reynaldo to drop the lawsuit.”
“Was it?”
Anton’s cold gaze fell on Ronan.
He blew a smoke ring and chuckled, “Why does Mr. Humphrey seem so unwilling? What, is it so difficult for you to apologize to my father?”
Ronan glared coldly at Anton and said, “I’ve already knelt and knocked my head, what more do you want?”
Well, you knelt down and kowtowed, but this reluctant apology, I don’t think my father will accept it.
It looks like I’ll have to go back and talk to Reynaldo, can’t withdraw the lawsuit casily…”
Julianne heard this, she immediately became anxious, and quickly

grabbed Ronan’s arm, crying out, “You must kneel down quickly, repent sincerely to the people inside, I have told you earlier, you must be sincere, be sincere, quickly!”
“Ugh!” Ronan impatiently pushed Julianne aside, glaring angrily at
Anton.
Anton laughed casually, “Since Mr. Humphrey is unwilling, we won’t force it. After all, the pleasure of tormenting your son is much stronger than you apologizing here.”
“You!” Ronan exclaimed, his face turning red with anger.
Anton smiled at me and said, “Let’s go. We should also tell Reynaldo about the situation here, so that someone doesn’t think that just taking a photo can prove everything.”
Anton said, pulling me along as if to leave.
Julianne shouted in distress.
Ronan finally softened his attitude and gritted his teeth, saying, “Okay, I repent again!”
With that, he knelt down in front of the tombstone.
Anton drooped his eyelids and looked at him contemptuously, “Remember, you must sincerely repent, otherwise, my father will not
hear.”
Julianne had also been emphasizing by his side.
Ronan’s face turned red with anger, he had probably never experienced such humiliation in his entire life.
The bad things done in the past will always be repaid in the end.

As Anton said, just making him kneel down and apologize in front of the tombstone was already considered lenient towards him.
After Ronan bumped his head, he left angrily.
Julianne urgently emphasized to us for quite a while that we must persuade Reynaldo to withdraw the lawsuit.
I nodded at her, and she finally agreed to leave.
The desolate outskirts finally quieted down.
Anton suddenly took out a bunch of white chrysanthemums and placed them in front of the tombstone.
On the tombstone, there was a handsome and rugged photo of the man, with a gentle smile.
Anton didn’t look much like his father, he should have looked more like
his mother.
Anton squatted down and quietly looked at the photo on the tombstone.
As he watched, his eyes welled up with tears.
I couldn’t bear to see this scene.
I turned away, feeling sad in my heart.
Anton squatted in front of the tombstone for a long time before finally getting up to take me away.
When I got on the car, I turned back and glanced at the grave.
In the desolate outskirts, the lonely graves appeared even more desolate
and sad.

The car drove along the country road, and I saw the reed marsh again, thinking of my grandmother and recalling those hot yet cozy days.
