Chapter 359
Haylan stared coldly at them.
His family did not inform any relatives or friends about their moving here. Therefore, how did these two find out about
them?
Mrs. Labenz and Harry were about to leave when they saw Haylan, and their expressions changed instantly.
They turned and looked at each other. They could not believe their eyes.
If Haylan emerged from within, that meant Queenie was not lying. The Jaber family did live here.
They looked up at the big villa again, their eyes burning with envy.
If only they could find a way to possess that big villa. That would be like striking a jackpot.
As they thought of that, they became excited, and schemes began forming in their minds.
Mrs. Labenz looked at Haylan with a smile. “Haylan, I was wrong the last time. I have come here to apologize to you.”
Harry also came forward and placed the gift in front of him. “Haylan, we admit our mistake. Money is not important. Kinship is the most important.”
Haylan glanced at them and scoffed, ‘I see. So, kinship is the most important? Don’t you feel ashamed saying such words?” “And you!”
Haylan turned and stared at Mrs. Labenz. “The last time we met, you said you can’t wait for my Mom to die. Now, you think that kinship is important?”
All these years, Mrs. Labenz and Harry had never visited them before!
During that celebration in the hotel, the Labenz family slandered the Jaber family and said outrageous things.
But now, they dared say that kinship was important. How shameless!
“Haylan, Grandma was muddle-headed at that time. I know I should not have said those things. I am wrong, and I have come to apologize.” Mrs. Labenz said.
Haylan sneered. “Apologize? I think you have come here with ill intentions””
“If I’m not wrong, you guys are here for that emerald pendant, right?”
As soon as Haylan said that, Mrs. Labenz’s and Harry’s expressions changed.
However, they quickly regained their composure.
“Haylan, look at what you’re saying. We are not as greedy as you think.” Harry chuckled.
“That’s right. We are here to salvage our relationship.”
Mrs. Labenz smiled warmly and said. “Haylan, your mother is a filial person. If you keep us out, you will make your mother a heartless and unfilial person.”
“If that is the case, the public will surely chide your mother. Can you really bear to let your mother carry a bad name?”
Haylan glared at them with hostility. “Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?”
“Ill
say it one last time. The Jaber family doesn’t welcome you. Seram!”
He stared coldly at the two of them, peeved. Then, he slammed the door behind him.
He had been overseas for eight years, combating on the battle lines. He had seen all kinds of people and knew what human
nature was like.
He only needed to spend a little time with a person and do things together to know the person’s character.
Mrs. Labenz and Harry were the most narcissistic and selfish people he had met. They would do anything if it benefited
thern.
Moreover, since the treasure appraisal master revealed the value of the emerald pendant to them back at the hotel, they had been lusting after it.
And now, they had shown up at his house for the emerald pendant.
The reason was obvious, yet they talked about kinship and spoke of benevolence and morality. It was simply ridiculous!
When she realized how stubborn Haylan was, Mrs. Labenz’s attitude changed. She rebuked, “Haylan. No matter what, I’m still your grandmother. What kind of attitude is this?”
“Is this how Felicia and Charlie taught you? You have no manners at all!”
“Don’t you know how to show respect to the old and care for the
“Haylan, open the door now and let us in!”
young?”
She was as arrogant as before, with an air of conceitedness. When she spoke, she sounded condescending, like she was ordering people around.
“Don’t you understand what I said? I told you to get lost!” Haylan said emotionlessly.
Harry and Mrs. Labenz’s expressions turned somber when they heard that.
Harry was enraged. “Why are you so heartless, Haylan? How can you separate your mother from your grandmother?” “They’re mother and daughter!”
“We’re about to immigrate to Whileal Kingdom. If they don’t see each other now, they might not have a chance to in the future.”
“Are you really that cruel that you would not even let them see each other for the last time?”
Haylan could only stare at Harry and chuckle.
What shameless people they were.
They were there for the emerald pendant but made themselves out to be such righteous and devoted people. How hilarious. Haylan took a deep breath and jeered, “If you want to see my mother so badly, why didn’t you see her back then? Why did you wait until now?”
“I don’t want to waste my breath on you guys. You want to talk about kinship, right?”
“Alright, let me say this now. From now on, our families will sever all ties and have nothing to do with each other.”
Just as Haylan was about to cut ties with these two people, someone asked in a surprised tone, “Why are you here, Mum?” Felicia had appeared at the entrance of the villa. She looked at Mrs. Labenz in surprise and began to run over.
She had always lacked motherly love and could only dream about it. Even in her dreams, she could only wish that her mother would visit her at her house.
Therefore, she was overjoyed to see Mrs. Labenz finally showing up at her house and hurried over.
That was not good!
Haylan’s heart wrenched when he saw his mother’s expression.
“Felicia, Mom and I are going overseas in two days. We came specially to see you. Mom wanted to get together with you, but your son stopped us from going in,” Harry said.
Just a moment ago, the furious Mrs. Labenz was about to flare up at Haylan
However, when she saw Felicia coming out, she quickly put on a kind smile and said, “Felicia, I know I was wrong. I’ve let you down all these years, so I want to spend more time with you before I go abroad.”
Felicia hurried up to Mrs. Labenz’s side. She took Mrs. Labenz’s hand into hers eagerly, and said, “Mom, I am so happy you are here. Hurry, come in.”
