Lenny's words amused Linda. She thought that Lenny was an emotional guy.
He even mentioned Linda's late mother, Sherry. He had no idea that Haley was Linda.
"That's right, Grandfather. You can't do that to us. It is not fair, "
Said Rosy, echoing her father.
Lord Nalan glanced at them.
"Felix, what do you think of my decision?" After a while, he asked Felix who was sitting on the side, silently drinking tea.
"All of the clan's properties belong to you, so it is up to you, " replied Felix.
It was a great answer. Linda looked at Felix, and he nodded at her. He seemed to be friendly.
Linda then smiled at him.
Felix was as malevolent as Murphy.
Linda knew it was not difficult to deal with people who wanted to attack her on her face, but it was a lot harder to deal with the wicked ones who wore hypocritical smiles.
Felix and Murphy seemed to be friendly, but in fact, they would try every means to harm her. Linda suddenly realised that her biggest enemies in the Nalan clan were Felix and Murphy, instead of Rosy and Lenny.
After hearing Felix's answer, Lord Nalan nodded with satisfaction. His expression softened. He thought what Felix said was sensible.
But Lenny's attitude was unreasonable. He retorted his father in front of so many people.
Lord Nalan wondered whether Lenny even treated him as his father and respected him or not.
Just as Lenny was about to say something else, Lord Nalan interrupted him and decisively said, "Great. My decision is final. Don't discuss it with me."
They nearly finished the dinner. Since all of them knew Charles, Lord Nalan didn't introduce him to everyone today. He just announced his decision through tonight's dinner, and it wasn't up for discussion. No matter how hard Lenny opposed him, Lord Nalan wouldn't change his mind because all of the Nalan clan's properties were under his control.
If Lord Nalan wanted to give half of the clan's properties to Linda, no one would be able to change his mind.
Once Lord Nalan made up his mind, everything was settled and would never be changed.
Linda knew that Lord Nalan announced this matter in front of everyone just to let others know how important she was in the Nalan clan.
It was also a warning to others, so they wouldn't do anything to harm Linda.
However, Lord Nalan didn't think it through. He took advantage of his rank and tried to help Linda, but he didn't seem to have taken the risks of his sudden decision into account.
Since Lord Nalan had announced this matter, others would surely be jealous of Linda, and those who didn't intend to harm her before might now secretly take actions to get her out of their ways.
Linda was upset at the thought of this.
"What a coincidence. I also gave her half of the Mu's Group's assets as a wedding gift, " said Charles, while putting his arm around Linda's shoulders.
Just now, Lord Nalan's decision astonished everyone, but Charles's statement shocked them all.
'The Mu's Group is a large company. Does half of the company's assets really belong to Haley?
Does Young Master Mu really love Haley?'
Rosy couldn't tolerate this. She looked at Charles and said, "Young Master Mu, I have seen the news about your engagement with the Lady of the Xia clan before. I learned from the news that you were going to give her half of your clan's property as a wedding gift. Are you going to do the same thing with Haley?"
