THE BILLIONAIRE'S VENGEFUL WIFE RETURNS -
Chapter 98: PUNISHMENT
Chapter 98: PUNISHMENT
"Mother please don’t punish Lia. Remember she’s your sweet granddaughter, you can’t possibly punish her because of that girl Harlow." Garth pleaded for the sake of her daughter. She had no idea why her father-in-law had placed such rules, this is the reason she had always been very careful in her dealing with Charlotte.
The old woman might seem weak, but she’s very cunning herself.
"Mother, don’t waste your breath on this old woman. Did you forget she has dementia? She’ll forget about this whole situation soon and still look as stupid as she always does." George said trying to console his mother.
"So bold of you to wish our grandmother is such illness," Alanis said calmly.
"Big brother, you know I wouldn’t do that to grandma. I can never wish her anything bad. I had seen it myself, I saw her medical report myself." George said.
Alanis turned to his grandmother, be was a bit confused because just last week, both she and Harlow him she was completely fine. Alanis was shocked himself, because in his former life, his grandmother suffered from dementia, it was bad that he learned she had died when he died also.
Unlike Harlow’s soul, his soul wandered around before he was relieved again, so he was able to discover the people who had planned his death and destroyed his family. Alanis was shocked to discover his own family had been the same people to killed him and his wife.
"Shut up you insolent child." Grandma Hamilton said. "Slandering the name of the crest holder is also an offense in our rule book." She said.
"I’m sure your big brother knows the punishment for it." She turned to Alanis who nodded. He turned to his stepbrother, You have been cut off from the Hamilton family money for a month." Alanis said calmly.
"You can’t do that Grandma." George bellowed shocked that the old woman hadn’t lost her memory yet. His allowance is barely enough to sustain all of his needs, he couldn’t bear being completely cut off.
"Well, I already did." Grandma Hamilton laughed
"And when I mean being cut off from the Hamilton, it means you’re not allowed into the Villa also. You will fend for yourself for a month and do things alone. Should anyone try to assist you, they will be cut off as well." Charlotte finalized her words.
"You can’t do this Mother, George will die out there. He’s not old enough to live alone." Garth cried out and Charlotte eyed the woman. The most useless mother in the world.
"When will he be old enough Garth?" Grandma Hamilton’s voice turned louder than before. "You’re housing a twenty-five years old that should be fending for himself. The next successor of the Hamilton’s empire yet is so useless." Garth frowned.
She will never let her George work a day in his life. Alanis has to do all the work while her son inherits everything. This is why she wanted the crest so badly but this old fool has refused to die.
"George handled the company for a year and we all saw how it ended up." Grandma Hamilton added.
"Grandma, we’re one family, we can settle whatever differences we have," Claudia spoke out this time. She had been silent for a while, but she couldn’t continue to pretend like she wasn’t in the room too. This is her family, she’ll be a part of them soon.
Getting married to Alanis would mean she would also have the crest the old woman has. She will make her pay once that crest falls in her hands.
"Who said you could get involved in our family’s conversation?" Charlotte turned to the girl.
"I... I."
"Just because you’re Frank’s daughter doesn’t mean you can come into my family to make decisions. Didn’t Elisa teach you anything?" Claudia bit her lips. She has always wondered why Charlotte hated her and she couldn’t seem to find the reason why.
"As for you." Charlotte turned to Lia. You’re banned from entering into any of the villa’s neither are you allowed to leave the estate. You’ll sleep on the streets where you belong for a week." Charlotte said.
"Isn’t that so harsh Mother, you know Lia cannot stay in the cold for long, she’ll die out there..."
"Then let her. She has no use in this family anyway."
"Grandma, how can you be so heartless to your grandkids?" George asked. Never has he seen any grandmother being as wicked as his. Charlotte Hamilton is indeed the name e everyone in the city calls her. A scornful wicked snake.
"Don’t you know you didn’t just inherit your mother’s deceitful personality? You inherited mine too. I can be ten times as wicked as you are. Since you want to give me names, how about I give you yours." She smiled sweetly.
"Wonder Boy and Yard Yobby." She laughed out loud, the sound echoing in the quiet room. Oh, how she enjoyed taunting them back as much as they did in her past life.
"Please Grandma, you can’t do this to me. Winter will be here in a day or two, I can’t sleep out like this." Lia cried. She could never imagine the state she would be in. Imagining it almost made her cry.
She couldn’t believe that the woman they all looked down on and called her useless was actually this powerful. Charlotte took their bullshit for years, why is she just now punishing them?
"Serves you right," Charlotte said indifferently.
"Guards!! She called and another two men appeared immediately.
"Mother please think this true. Alanis talks some sense into her. She can’t do this to your siblings." Garth pleaded. She couldn’t bear to see her children suffer. Not even for a little bit.
"They committed an unacceptable crime. They should face their punishment. If they don’t, someone else will repeat the same thing." Alanis finalized. His words were clear that he was backing his grandmother on this one.
Both George and Lia were shocked. Alanis always has their back no matter what, so why wasn’t he speaking up for them this time?
"Take them both away to serve their punishment." Grandma Hamilton said to the guards.
"No, no, don’t do this grandma." Lia struggled against the guards but they still dragged her out. The same could be said about George, his strength was no match for them.
Claudia walked over to console Garth who watched her children being taken away from her. She will never forgive Alanis and her mother-in-law for this.
