Chapter 511 Serenas piercing scream echoed from behind, forcing Harvey to whip around in shock. To his horror, he sawn and Ted, two of the most respected elders of the Weller family, dragging Serena across the ground by her hair, pulling her out from hiding
4 You two old bastards! Let go of me ! Imand you, as the family matriarch, to release me immediately! Are you really going to defy your master ? Serena shrieked.
Her disheveled hair and furious expression made her look like a vengeful ghost.
Half of her face was bruised and swollen, evidence of a p.
Harvey rushed forward, rmed
Elders, what are you doing? Let Serena go, now! However, before he could say more, one of the elders kicked him square in the stomach, sending him flying backward.
Harvey tumbled to the ground, rolling over several times beforeing to a stop, gasping for air, and almost spitting blood
11 As he staggered to his feet, dazed and clutching his burning abdomen, he roared, You old fools! What do you think youre doing? How dare you attack me, your head of the family? Do you have a death wish? Never in his wildest dreams had Harvey thought he would be struck, and certainly not by members of his own family
He was the leader of the Weller family, the one who held ultimate authority over them.
However,n and Ted were the familys most powerful elders, and they were far from intimidated.n, who had kicked him, sneered
You shameless fool, do you really not know why youre being punished? Teds voice was icy.
Why waste words on him? This kind of scum should be beaten to death
Otherwise, how will the Weller family maintain its reputation among the elite of Jayrodale ? Harveys face turned ghostly pale as he stumbled backward
A Are you two really going to rebel against me?n shouted, his voice booming with anger.
You fool, are the rumors true ? Is it true that youve been having an affair with Serena ? 1/2 Chapter 511 Harvey stammered instinctively, No, absolutely not! Ted, who had not struck yet, moved like lightning, appearing in front of Harvey andnding a mighty p across his face.
Harvey let out a sharp cry as blood gushed out of his mouth, staining his chin and clothes.
Clutching his throbbing cheek, Harvey red at them with a mix of hatred and desperation.
What did I do wrong? How dare you treat me like this? Dont you realize that with one word, I could have you both executed? The elders merelyughed coldly.
Even now, youre still lying and refusing to admit your crimes.
Harvey, do you think yourte father would forgive you? Do you think youve lived up to the Weller family name, to our ancestors? If it werent for the rumors spreading outside, we would still be in the dark, deceived by you, you despicable animal
To think you and Serena could stoop so low! Harveys expression twisted with rage as he shouted, Ive told you, I didnt do anything! How dare you use me without proof? Both elders sneered.
Didnt do anything? Serena already confessed, yet youre still denying it? Are you really going to force us to strip away thest shreds of your dignity and expose youpletely? Harveys mind buzzed as if it were about to explode
There was no escape now, no way to refute the usations.
Serena, sobbing uncontrobly, suddenly cried out, Harvey, Im pregnant... with your child ! Harvey felt the world spin around him, as though the ground had been yanked out from under his feet. What had started as pleasure had now turned into a nightmare, a disaster with no way out.
For families like theirs, nothing was more feared than public scandal
Francesca had endured Simons behavior to avoid damaging the Aickers reputation, but Harveys situation was infinitely worse
His disgrace meant there was no question he would be stripped of his position as head of the family. Panic gripped his heart as he dropped to his knees with a loud thud, tears streaming down his face. Bowing repeatedly to the elders, he pleaded, Please, I was wrong.
Ill never do it again.
