Chapter 108 Kicked Out
“Who gave it to you?” Nigel suddenly asked.
Shannon glanced briefly at Nigel and instinctively knew that he was not in the right state of mind. However, she did not question anything.
Jennifer merely shook her head without saying a word.
Dexter, on the other hand, stared at Sylvia with a gloating look in his eyes. He was looking forward to seeing what she was going to say to defend herself.
Conner was surprised, but he did not say anything.
Many female guests were staring at Jennifer’s dress and necklace enviously, making the latter feel uncomfortable. She could not help but think about that indifferent man, wondering what his identity was.
“Quiet!” Sylvia was so upset that she jabbed her cane on the ground, making a crisp sound.
Everyone quieted down and dared not make a sound.
Sylvia said, “Well, even if what she’s wearing is genuine, she claims that Pollerton would undergo land reclamation without any proof to support her assumptions. Her insight and attitude toward business are not good enough for her to stay in the Wilson family.”
At that moment, even Dexter fell silent.
That’s true. You don’t even have access to the public announcement website and you’re claiming that Pollerton will undergo land reclamation? It’s been seventy years since the development of the technology for land reclamation. However, land reclamations have not been carried out in many countries. Not even ten reclamation projects have been carried out in seventy years all around the world.
“This is clearly a joke! People will definitely ridicule us and say that we don’t know how to do our business. They’ll mock us!” Sylvia’s tone was heavy.
Jennifer bit her lip and did not say a word.
Kevin, Leonard, and Linda hung their heads and shrank into the corner once again.
Sylvia sneered and said mockingly, “All right. Let’s not discuss this nonsense anymore. I’ll say two things now. Firstly, we are not going to accept the birthday gift that Jennifer gave to Conner.”
The guests lowered their heads, thinking that Sylvia’s actions were too much.
It doesn’t matter how much the gift cost. To reject it is too cruel. Even ordinary people wouldn’t sever a relationship like this. However, Sylvia, as the head of the Wilson family in Tayhaven, had destroyed Jennifer’s gift. This is a vicious act! She claims to want to uphold the reputation of the Wilson family and the etiquette of nobility, but her actions are barbaric!
However, everyone kept their thoughts to themselves and sat in silence.
No one was willing to stand up for Jennifer.
Jennifer’s face was drained of all color. She felt lethargic as she took a few steps back, preparing to leave this place. She was completely humiliated.
However, Sylvia continued to talk. She said, “Furthermore, I announce today that the Wilson family’s eighth branch in Pollerton will be kicked out because of Jennifer. Everyone who is part of the eighth branch will be removed from our family. Everything they own in Pollerton will be handed over to the Wilson family in Tayhaven. Jennifer and her family shall leave the manor right now!”
She’s kicking out Jennifer and her family from the manor? This is the greatest humiliation!
The Wilson family in Tayhaven had lived in this manor for more than a century. No one had ever been chased out of the manor before.
Jennifer lowered her head and kept quiet. She felt miserable.
Everyone looked at her with pity.
She suddenly felt as if she was a lowly stray dog.
“Let’s go,” said Jennifer.
Leonard, Linda, and Kevin flinched silently and trailed behind Jennifer, following her outside. They looked like complete cowards.
As she walked to the door, Jennifer suddenly turned back and said, “What if I was right? What if the land reclamation project will really happen?”
