Heather and Carmen remained in their seats in a daze. At that moment, they wanted nothing more thanto leave as they watched Demi welcoming her guests happily.
However, now that they didn’t even have any shares left, If they dared to leave now, Demi woulddefinitely kick them out of the Jennings family.
Without the Jennings family’s financial support, Heather would become the sole breadwinner for herfamily. How would they be able to live off of her meager salary?
“Heather, you must be feeling pretty bad right now, huh?”
Jacob walked over with a smile full of schadenfreude as he held a glass of wine in his hand.
Heather remained quiet and kept her head down. She picked up some of the dishes and put some ontoStanley’s plate. She was not in the mood to entertain Jacob right now.
She was afraid that she might be unable to control her rage and slam her bowl of food right intoJacob’s face.
“Do you know why Granny did that?” Jacob asked.
Heather remained motionless as she tried her best to control her emotions.
However, her hand that was holding the dish began to quiver.
“Why?” Carmen asked Jacob.
She really didn’t understand why Demi was being so cruel.
“It’s because the good–for–nothing son–in–law of yours angered my brother–in–law yesterday, so nowall of you have to be punished.” Jacob snickered.
“Huh? So you’re saying that this piece of garbage is the reason why Demi went ballistic?” Carmen wasenraged. She wanted to stab her fork into Alex’s eyes right then and there.
How could you anger someone from the Hale family? Those aren’t people we can afford to mess with!
More importantly, my son’s ten percent of shares are all gone because of you!
She really wanted to murder Alex at this point.
“Alex, you’re going to give me all my shares back. If not, you’re done for!” Lucas said angrily.novelbin
He had just been about to get his share of the earnings that month when Alex had ruined his plan. If itweren’t for the fact that he could never beat Alex in a fight, he’d already have started beating Alex up.
Heather finally lifted her head up to glare at Alex furiously, with rage burning in her stare.
“Oh Alex, my dear brother–in–law. Now you know where you stand, don’t you?” Jacob said with asadistic chuckle.
Alex looked at Jacob and smiled coldly. “Laugh all you want. In another minute, you’re not going towant to laugh any longer”

Alex couldn’t be bothered to reply to Jacob. He glanced at Heather, who was about to explode andsaid, “Relax. No one’s taking Stanley’s shares away.”
After that, he looked down and continued eating, no longer paying any attention to anyone else.
“That’s right, you should eat to your heart’s content while you still can! After today’s over, you mightnever be able to enjoy such grand delicacies ever again,” Jacob mocked before turning and walkingback to Henry’s table.
Henry and Harper looked pleased with themselves. However, simply taking back Heather’s family’sshares was not enough to placate him.
Alex had thoroughly humiliated him yesterday. He had almost gotten him killed. He couldn’t possiblyjust let this go.
He already had a full revenge plan for Alex, and taking his shares was but the tip of the iceberg.
“Hey, loser, what happened to that cheeky attitude you had yesterday? Why are you being all quietnow?” Henry started mocking Alex as well.
When they saw Henry coming over to mock them, Heather and Carmen started to worry.
He was the Hale family’s son, after all. The Hales were much stronger than the Wallace family, andthey definitely couldn’t afford to mess with him.
The two of them looked at Alex again, feeling both disappointed and angry.
Out of everyone you could have messed with, why did you have to pick someone like Henry Hale? Areyou trying to doom our family on purpose?
“Henry, we didn’t know it was Alex who pissed you off. So if you really want to vent your frustration onsomeone, vent it all out on him. There’s no need to drag us all down with him, right?” Carmen smiled,trying to detach her family from Alex.
“I’ll make Heather get a divorce with him once we go home, okay? He’ll no longer be related to us inany way.”
Henry loved the feeling of being feared by others.
Alex lifted his head and looked at Henry with a teasing smirk. “What’s up? You seemed pretty scared ofme yesterday when you were kneeling and begging for your life. Why? Was it not enough for you?”
What?
