Chapter 174
The internet feud had brought Greendale Village into the limelight.
Everyone knew the truth now. Moreover, most of the villagers had long known
about Hermann’s character and despised him.
However, no matter how horrible Hermann was as a person, that was a
personal matter, but now that scandal was exposed, it was embarrassing the
entire Cadigan family.
When they were out elsewhere in the future, everyone there would feel
ashamed to admit they were from Greendale Village.
“Grandpa, w–what should we do now?” Jamison panicked and looked at his
grandfather helplessly.
Hermann didn’t know what to do either. He had no experience in dealing with
such matters.
“Henrietta, hurry up and go out there to tell those villagers to leave!”
“That’s right! If you can’t do it alone, ask Grandma to tag along!”
Whenever trouble arose, Jamison’s first thought would be to ask his sister
and grandmother for help. In the Cadigan family, women had very low status.
“This…”
A reluctant look spread across Henrietta’s countenance. It was clearly
Jamison and Grandpa who caused the mess, so why am I the one who
needs to face the villager’s wrath?
“Hurry up! If you don’t go, I’ll beat you to death!” Hermann immediately raised
the broom to hit her.
Since she was little, Henrietta had been beaten countless times by Hermann,
even bearing permanent scars on her thighs and back.
In contrast, Jamison had never been beaten even once.
Her status was as lowly as a dog in the household.
Under duress, Henrietta eventually went to answer the door.
Still, no matter how much she persuaded the villagers, even lying to them
that her grandfather and younger brother weren’t there, they refused to
leave and barged into their house.
Standing behind the crowd, Beatrix also came to watch the drama with her
two bodyguards.
Taking in that scene, the playful young lady clapped in excitement and
muttered, “Hmph! I can’t believe this grandfather–and–grandson duo tried to
play such tricks on Manuel. Mackenzie will definitely make them suffer!”
Those villagers had undoubtedly gone to confront Hermann and his
grandson because of Lexi’s instigation.
For Lexi, someone with strong planning and execution skills, inciting the
villagers‘ emotions to deal with Hermann and Jamison was as easy as ABC.
Initially, Hermann and Jamison wanted to escape through the back door, but
before they could get out, they were surrounded by those incensed villagers.
The duo became overwrought. They never dreamed that they would end up
as the cyberbullying victims and be besieged in real life instead of Roselynn
and Emmanuel.
“Hermann, one should not be so shameless! Others might not know, but do
you think we from Greendale Village don’t know the truth?” The village chief
was the first to speak up and chided Hermann, “The money Alessandra’s
family took was what they deserved, and you only returned a fraction to
them. On the other hand, your family borrowed fifty to sixty thousand from
them to repay Emerson’s debt. Afterward, they even gave you another
twenty thousand. How can you be so ungrateful as to repay their kindness
with animosity? You’re indeed more despicable than animals!”
Following the village chief’s lead, the rest of the villagers also chimed in with
righteous indignation.
“That’s right. Are you heartless? How can you frame your own grandson like Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
this?”
”
“Get out of Greendale Village and quit bringing shame to our village!”
“I suggest we remove the two of them from Greendale Village’s census
records and chase them out of here!”
“I agree! In the future, when Greendale Village shares profits, we shouldn’t
give a penny to people like them!”
Hearing those angry voices and seeing the villagers‘ furious demeanors,
Jamison curled up on the ground, not daring to move.
Hermann didn’t have the courage to resist either. Their family was weak and
couldn’t win against so many villagers.
The village chief declared, “Hermann, if you don’t want to be expelled from
the village, quickly apologize and beg your granddaughter and grandson to
delete their posts to minimize the consequences of this incident! Otherwise,
we’ll handle this matter according to the village rules. Any villager who
tarnishes the village’s reputation and brings serious negative impact will
have their names removed from the census records and be driven out of
Greendale Village!”
“Ah? A–All right!”
