The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Their True Face

Harleen's words stunned everyone, including Billy. Even though he knew Harleen said those words to defend him, the fact that he could publicly refer to him as her fiancé in front of so many people still moved him.

On the other side, Sharon felt quite complicated inside yet she said nothing. She gave up the idea to scold her daughter right then and there, since it didn't seem appropriate to speak up at this moment. However, if she didn't vent a few words, she felt like she would go crazy.

"What did you say? You said that he is your fiancé? Are you trying to drive me insane!?" Zeph questioned angrily. "It's truly unfortunate for the Knight family to have such an unfilial descendant like you! I, Zeph Knight, am ashamed before the ancestors of the Knight family!"

As he finished speaking, he was overcome with anger, and a fit of coughing ensued.

"Father, take care of yourself. Don't stoop to their level." Robert, Fletcher's younger brother, spoke up.

Then he turned to Fletcher and said angrily, "Brother, did you come here today to anger father? Hurry up and take them away!"

"Father, we're sorry. It's our fault. Please don't be angry. We'll leave right away." Fletcher said.

"Leave? Since it has already come to this, let's clarify everything before we leave!" Sharon stepped forward at this moment. After scanning people on Zeph's side with her gaze, she spoke up, "For these past few years, I've had enough of you! When you're in a good mood, you throw us a bone. But when you're in a bad mood, you take it out on us. In your eyes, our family is worth less than beggars! Just because Harleen didn't listen to you and married into a wealthy family? She's my daughter, who she marries is not up to you to decide! Today, let me tell yo all, starting tomorrow, our family will cut ties with the Knight family completely. We won't need your concerns about our lives anymore! Furthermore, I kindly request that you cash out our twenty percent stake in the Knight Group. Otherwise, we'll see you in court!"

Gasps filled the air after she finished speaking. No one had expected her to have the audacity to say so. Even Billy was slightly surprised. He hadn't anticipated Sharon having such courage.

Zeph trembled with rage once again. He pointed at Sharon and managed to utter a single word before spewing out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!"

"Grandpa!"

"..."

A cry of surprise echoed through the room.

"Get out of here!" Zeph picked up a damp towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, shouting angrily.

"Don't worry, we're leaving right away. Do you think I want to stay here? I don't even want to see you for another second!" Sharon responded.

"Sharon, enough, calm down." Fletcher's face turned grim as he looked at Sharon.
