Heather and Carmen remained in their seats in a daze. At that moment, they wanted nothing more than to leave as they watched Demi welcoming her guests happily. 

However, now that they didn’t even have any shares left, If they dared to leave now, Demi would definitely kick them out of the Jennings family. 

Without the Jennings family’s financial support, Heather would become the sole breadwinner for her family. How would they be able to live off of her meager salary? 

“Heather, you must be feeling pretty bad right now, huh?” 

Jacob walked over with a smile full of schadenfreude as he held a glass of wine in his hand. 

Heather remained quiet and kept her head down. She picked up some of the dishes and put some onto Stanley’s plate. She was not in the mood to entertain Jacob right now. 

She was afraid that she might be unable to control her rage and slam her bowl of food right into Jacob’s face. 

“Do you know why Granny did that?” Jacob asked. 

Heather remained motionless as she tried her best to control her emotions. 

However, her hand that was holding the dish began to quiver. 

“Why?” Carmen asked Jacob. 

She really didn’t understand why Demi was being so cruel. 

“It’s because the good–for–nothing son–in–law of yours angered my brother–in–law yesterday, so now all of you have to be punished.” Jacob snickered. 

“Huh? So you’re saying that this piece of garbage is the reason why Demi went ballistic?” Carmen was enraged. She wanted to stab her fork into Alex’s eyes right then and there. 

How could you anger someone from the Hale family? Those aren’t people we can afford to mess with! 

More importantly, my son’s ten percent of shares are all gone because of you! 

She really wanted to murder Alex at this point. 

“Alex, you’re going to give me all my shares back. If not, you’re done for!” Lucas said angrily. 

He had just been about to get his share of the earnings that month when Alex had ruined his plan. If it weren’t for the fact that he could never beat Alex in a fight, he’d already have started beating Alex up. 

Heather finally lifted her head up to glare at Alex furiously, with rage burning in her stare. 

“Oh Alex, my dear brother–in–law. Now you know where you stand, don’t you?” Jacob said with a sadistic chuckle. 

Alex looked at Jacob and smiled coldly. “Laugh all you want. In another minute, you’re not going to want to laugh any longer”

“What’s this? Are you going to beat me up?” Jacob said mockingly.

Alex couldn’t be bothered to reply to Jacob. He glanced at Heather, who was about to explode and said, “Relax. No one’s taking Stanley’s shares away.” 

After that, he looked down and continued eating, no longer paying any attention to anyone else. 

“That’s right, you should eat to your heart’s content while you still can! After today’s over, you might never be able to enjoy such grand delicacies ever again,” Jacob mocked before turning and walking back to Henry’s table. 

Henry and Harper looked pleased with themselves. However, simply taking back Heather’s family’s shares was not enough to placate him. 

Alex had thoroughly humiliated him yesterday. He had almost gotten him killed. He couldn’t possibly just let this go. 

He already had a full revenge plan for Alex, and taking his shares was but the tip of the iceberg.
