Chapter 12 Expelled From The Family

• "Ah... I understand."
• Dax nodded, acknowledging the validity of Nadine's words.
• Lucian's phone call had cost them the project yesterday. He had even threatened them to force an apology, yet the Harrisons had managed to succeed through their own means.
• If Lucian and Freya were not here to apologize, then why were they here?
• Otherwise, they would be in unfavorable positions.
• "An apology requires sincerity. Where is your gift?"
• Dax towered over Lucian and turned to Freya in a condescending manner, asking, "How about this? Both you and that boy kneel at the gates until the celebration is over. Maybe then I'll consider forgiving you for your foolishness."
• "Hahahahaha..."
• The guests burst into laughter. Wasn't making a disabled person kneel a bit excessive?
• "Old Mr. Harrison, your granddaughter is completely paralyzed. She cannot kneel."
• "Bend over until the celebration is over."
• Dax snorted coldly. "This is the price for offending me."
• Frank and Annie rushed out of the kitchen, with Annie close to tears. "Please don't. Frank is your son. Fay is your granddaughter. Please don't make her do this. I'll kneel in her place. I'll stay there for three days if you want."
• Annie got on her knees before the crowd and frantically apologized.
• "Mom, stop it..."
• Freya's eyes welled up with tears. Her mother had sacrificed too much for her. She had sold her car, her home, and signed her life away just so Freya could see a doctor. And now, here she was, a spectacle for the crowd.
• Why?
• Why do the Harrisons treat us like this?
• Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her gaze turned cold as she stared at Dax. "I'm not here to apologize to you, Dax Harrison. I'm here to warn you. That demolition project belongs to me and Lucian, not the Harrison family."
• "Ahahahahaha."
• Thunderous laughter erupted throughout the courtyard. Dax and his family were close to tears from laughing. The contract sitting in the main room was as good as signed.
• Freya's words were laughable.
• What qualifications did a disabled person like her have to be in charge of such a large-scale project?
• Nadine laughed coldly. "Are you still daydreaming, Freya? You may have been a business genius in the past, but now you're just a worthless person who can't even stand up. Why would the Infernal Group ever give it to you?"
• "What did you say?"
• Lucian narrowed his eyes, his expression turning murderous.
• "I said she's just a worthless person who can't even stand up. Am I wrong?"
• Slap!
• Lucian took a large stride forward and delivered a vicious slap to Nadine. "It seems your parents didn't teach you any manners. Allow me to do it in their place."
• The slap knocked Nadine to the floor, and she began to wail. "He hit me! Help me!"
• The residence erupted in chaos.
• Everyone's jaws dropped as they stared at Lucian. He had dared to openly strike Nadine.
• "Your arrogance knows no bounds!"
• Aaron rushed into the kitchen to retrieve a knife, his eyes bloodshot. "How dare you?! She's my precious daughter. Come here!"
• Roxanne Cavoy was also consumed by anger. "My daughter! I'll kill you!"
• Lucian didn't care. He kicked them both away as they rushed towards him and growled in anger, "I don't even berate my wife. What right do you have to do the same?"
• The eldest son and his wife were beaten up.
• Dax and Eleanor could no longer remain seated. Dax was breathing heavily. "You lawless bastards. All this trouble at the celebration. You all deserve to die. I declare that Frank, Annie, and Freya are hereby expelled from the family. We will have no further association with each other..."
• Both Frank and Annie collapsed to the ground, devastated.
• They had finally been cast out of the family.
• They would now be burdened with the debt of breaching their lifelong contract.
• Annie collapsed to the floor and began to cry. Her daughter was paralyzed. She and her husband had been expelled from the family. How were they going to survive now?
• Damn you, Lucian!
• "Oh, how lively."
• A cheerful voice could be heard from the doorway. Everyone turned to see Jack walking into the residence with a group of executives. Each held a gift in hand. It seemed they were here to congratulate the family.
• Jack Asher...
• Expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred appeared on the guests' faces.
• The president of the Infernal Group had come in person, bearing gifts. It was clear that the Harrison family was about to prosper.
• Dax immediately led Eleanor to welcome him. His anger quickly subsided. How far were the Harrisons willing to go if the president of the Infernal Group personally came to congratulate them?
• "Mr. Asher, what brings you here?"
• Dax glanced at the gifts in Jack's hands and chuckled to himself.
• Jack looked at the sobbing Annie and asked with a smile, "Isn't this a celebration? Why is someone crying?"
• Dax shot a disgusted look at Annie. "Stop crying at my party, you piece of sh*t! Didn't you hear me? You're all expelled from the Harrison family. We have no connection to each other. Leave!"
• "Huh? You've expelled Freya from the family?" Jack asked calmly.
• Dax nodded. "That's correct. They are not worthy of being part of the Harrison family. It's just as well that today is our big day. It's better to sever all ties with them in front of everyone."
• "What happens in your family has nothing to do with me."
• Jack smirked. "But I came here to tell you that the Infernal Group intends to work with Ms. Freya. Since she has been driven out of the family, please hand over the contract. I would like Ms. Freya to sign it!"
