Chapter 1630 Moment of Conferral
Ceremony venue.
Here was an open-air venue belonging exclusively to the military faction, located by the canal near the
command building.
The weather today was exceptionally fine, the sky a bright blue with billowing white clouds.
The expansive river water flowed and rippled, golden sunlight scattering down, the water's surface
glittering and dazzling, too bright for 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 the heavens in a riot of colors.
Solemn and stirring military music sounded.
Dewey stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, "Supreme Commander arrives!"
A blinding white light shone down, illuminating Ralph's straight and upright heroic figure.
He wore formal military dress uniform, strode toward the platform, with Joyce following behind him.
The soldiers on either side of them immediately saluted, standing ramrod straight, reverent and
deferential.
Such a scene could not help but command awe.
The dazzling lights shifted back, falling upon Joyce walking behind Ralph.
She wore proper military dress uniform, the stars on her epaulettes sparkling, her perfect face and
aloof air immediately becoming the focus of the entire venue.
Brimming with heroic spirit yet alluringly charming, the various qualities blended into a unique aura.
Wisdom, courage, beauty all concentrated in one person.
Ralph and Joyce walked toward the platform, nodding slightly to the officers 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 the Heath family finally had a
formal successor. She felt especially gratified, feeling that the bitterness of the past twenty odd years
and wrong turns walked had all been worthwhile.
She gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, sighing softly. If you're watching from heaven, Zachary,
you should be able to rest in peace now.
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 even felt 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, clapping excitedly.
"Does Andres want to be this cool in the future too?" Juanita had arrived at some point, quietly coming
to Anderson's side without him noticing.
She bent down, leaning to Anderson's ear. "You're the eldest son. In the future 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 to me. Save it for my younger
brothers, whoever wants it can have it."
"You brat!" Juanita poked Anderson's head. "Look at you acting all high and mighty. What, you look
down on it? Got some big ambitions to make your own way? Think you can surpass your dad?"
Anderson was speechless, retorting, "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
"Ahhh! Who's a sparrow!" Juanita was about to shriek when Karl grabbed 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 left her dumbfounded. Ever since
she got pregnant, she was discovering more and more that he had her wrapped around his finger.
After all, he was trained in law, studied criminal psychology. Grasped people's psychology very well.
No matter if she was throwing a tantrum, or being quiet, or making trouble, he always seemed to havenovelbin
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 conferral ceremony only allowed a small
number of media to attend. With Joyce's connections, Roberts Media obtained a special entry pass, so
Kane came along too.
Kane's assistant carried a video camera, shooting footage as he praised, "So cool, Mr. Roberts, so this
is the older sister you're always going on about? What a pity she's married with kids already. You don't
stand a chance, Mr. Roberts."
"Shut your mouth and focus on working." Kane glared fiercely at his assistant. He had let go, now only
wishing Joyce well. But being blithely reminded still made him feel bad.
Joyce smiled. "Forgot you were here too."
Kane looked aggrieved. "Ah, now I'm forgotten, relegated to a corner. Sis, you don't manage the QR
Technology company anymore, leaving it all 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 to take really great shots." Kane
took the professional camera from his assistant, getting ready to photograph Joyce and Juanita.
