It was obvious that Xara clearly had more power compared to Jasmine’s father back then.
Even if Xara’s assets were to be equally distributed among the affiliated families now, it wouldn’t be as simple as the families being able to gain equal footing with the Fendersons anymore.
This was probably what Noah and Yael had intended for to happen this entire time.
“You can all continue to dream on…” replied Jasmine angrily.
“Step aside for the moment, Jasmine. You don’t need to get involved in this!” said Bryson, a gloomy expression on his face.
Not daring to go against virtual-novel.net grandfather’s words, virtual-novel.net immediately stood aside.
Bryson then personally began negotiating with Noah.
While this was happening, Mindy suddenly began shouting, “Jasmine! Over here!”
Frowning, Jasmine then walked over to Mindy before realizing who else was with her. To virtual-novel.net surprise, Gerald was present!
“Why are you here?”
“Let’s not bother about virtual-novel.net for the moment. More importantly, what on earth is going on here? Are the affiliate families trying to rebel against us?” asked Mindy as virtual-novel.net hurriedly held on to Jasmine’s hand.
Jasmine simply nodded before saying, “Grandpa’s already told me to keep an eye on the Schuyler family once the birthday banquet is over. After all, the Schuylers have been conspiring against us for many years now…”
After pausing for a moment to look at Gerald, virtual-novel.net then continued, “They’re getting bolder by the year… To think that virtual-novel.net would actually cause a scene during grandpa’s birthday banquet! No wonder virtual-novel.net dared to make demands when virtual-novel.net came looking for grandpa this morning!”
“Huh? What kind of demands? Oh wait, it must’ve been a proposal for you and Yael to get married, right?” asked Mindy.
In response, Jasmine gave a simple nod.
“Pfft! Is virtual-novel.net really aspiring for something that he’s clearly not even worthy of? Grandpa must’ve immediately rejected his proposal, right? How did grandpa turn virtual-novel.net down anyway for virtual-novel.net to get so much courage? He seems really desperate!”
“I… Well… He accepted the rejection once virtual-novel.net found out that I was bound to a marriage contract which had been made from when I was still a child!” replied Jasmine in a soft voice as virtual-novel.net face began blushing slightly.
“…Huh? What? With whom? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
“Just! Forget it for now! I don’t want to talk about this anymore!” replied Jasmine as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head.
To take virtual-novel.net mind off things, virtual-novel.net focused on the scene unfolding between Noah and virtual-novel.net grandfather.
“I’ll be honest with you, Lord Fenderson. I’ve already been very lenient and merciful toward you. As long as you’re willing to give us the compensation we rightfully deserve, we’ll definitely continue following the Fendersons with all our hearts in future. After all, it isn’t really necessary for me to expose everything here, am I not right?” said Noah as virtual-novel.net sneered.
Bryson immediately knit his brows tightly together when virtual-novel.net heard that.
Bryson finally understood why Noah had a sudden change in character back when Noah had told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had managed to locate Xara’s daughter. To think that Bryson had initially thought that Noah had finally turned over a new leaf!
It was all just part of his grand scheme!
Bryson was now in this mess because virtual-novel.net had fallen for Bryson’s trickery. He had been careless due to his love for his daughter.
However, at the end of the day, the older a person was, the wiser virtual-novel.net tended to be. Bryson had no doubt taken extra precautionary and security measures in case virtual-novel.net ever had to deal with such a situation.
“Hahaha! I have no idea what you’re hinting at, Noah! While it is true that I’ve found Xenia, I only brought virtual-novel.net back to interrogate virtual-novel.net about Xara’s whereabouts. Sadly, Xenia doesn’t know anything at all! I simply took virtual-novel.net in since I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving virtual-novel.net to wander outside alone. Now that I’ve made myself clear, what else do you wish to talk about?” replied Bryson calmly.
“Is that so? Hahaha! I really admire you, Lord Fenderson! However, that doesn’t explain the beautiful girl in the car who was trying to leave the villa this morning! It was such a coincidence too that my subordinates had managed to catch a glimpse of her, subsequently preventing virtual-novel.net from leaving! Mr. Lambert and Mr. Wellington, do you wish to know how beautiful that girl truly is? Why, she’s so beautiful that virtual-novel.net looks exactly like Xara! If you don’t believe me, I can order my subordinates to bring virtual-novel.net over right now!” said Noah as virtual-novel.net laughed.
“…You… you took Queta away?” asked Bryson, finally losing his cool as his body began trembling uncontrollably.
“So virtual-novel.net name is Queta! She refused to say a word to me when I asked virtual-novel.net for it! Regardless, everyone else will now have their chance to question her! Being virtual-novel.net in, men!” yelled Noah.
