Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 247

Harvey was taken aback.

“I suppose you're planning to rob me blind, then do away with Kieran, aren't you? I used to think that, being family, you wouldn't stoop so low. To think I trusted you. I won't fall for your words anymore. I'm pulling my investment immediately!”

Harvey started to panic, forcing himself to let out a couple of stiff, uneasy chuckles. “Kyven, our agreement has already been made. Without your money, I'd have to sell off the assets or else I'd go bankrupt! You're pushing me into a corner here!”

Upon hearing that, Kyven exclaimed in shock, “You're actually thinking of selling off the assets? Those do not only belong to you! How dare you!”

Even though Harvey was secretly panicking, he spoke with a half-smile. “I do. If you insist on forcing me, I'm left with no other choice but to act this way. You can't stop me either because I'm still the head of the Wolford family!”

The color drained from Kyven's face in an instant!

Harvey softened his tone once again, saying, “Of course, that's my last resort. I genuinely want to collaborate with you, and I truly want to take care of Kieran. Don't let others stir up trouble between us.”

Kyven gritted his teeth in silence, reflecting on the fact that he and Harvey would either rise or fall together. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke up ruthlessly. “All right then. You must call a family meeting tonight. Prepare your will, stating that you cannot acknowledge Quincy as your own for the rest of your life. Also, you need to add one more condition. If Kieran dies, you must step down from your position as head of the family! If not, consider our conversation over!”

At that point, Harvey was seething with anger. Forced into such a corner, he felt not only fury but also a profound sense of helplessness. Despite living for so many years, he was astounded to find himself in a situation where he was utterly at a loss.

Kallum was truly a force to be reckoned with, having surpassed the older generation. At the start, Kallum tricked Sterling into buying a worthless piece of land. Then, as time passed, his calculated moves had dealt a devastating blow to the Wolford family, all within a span of just one year.

A single year had obliterated the accumulation of over a decade of Harvey's life! Not to mention, it was done with such a casual attitude.

Harvey, weary, shook his head. Looking into Kyven's eyes, he understood. He could no longer entertain his petty schemes. For his own sake, Yelena and Quincy had to be sacrificed. Either way, he could afford to support two women, but they were destined never to be able to step into the public eye again.

In the end, the two brothers finally came to an agreement. They would discreetly hold a family meeting that night.

After putting down her phone, Quincy found it hard to regain her composure for quite some time. I'm being abandoned? Before, Harvey assured me he'd acknowledge me as his daughter after some time. Now, he seems ready to give up on me in the blink of an eye!

Quincy shared the matter with Yelena, who also realized the gravity of the situation. Harvey signing such an agreement clearly showed he didn't care about her well-being at all!

When the time came, she was certain to become the laughingstock of Horington. Neither the mother nor the daughter could stand for that. They had given up on the Stafford family to reach that point, so they simply couldn't accept such an outcome!

Finally, Yelena sought help from her father. If she could become part of the Wolford family, the Langley family would also benefit. In her opinion, there was no reason why he wouldn't assist them at that critical moment.

The head of the Langley family, Matthew, who was also the father of Yelena, was in his sixties or seventies. Yet, his eyes remained as sharp as ever.

“You're right. We can't let Harvey sign this agreement!” Matthew's face was extremely gloomy. “Over the years, although the Wolford family has taken care of us, we've also done quite a bit for them. Now, if he signs this agreement and disowns Quincy for life, then it'll be as if our Langley family and the Wolford family have severed all ties. Therefore, we cannot allow him to sign this agreement!”
