Chapter 247 Selling Off Asset Harvey was taken aback.
"I suppose you're planning to robblind, then do away with Kieran, aren't you? I used to think that, being family, you wouldn't stoop so low. To think I trusted you. I won't fall for your words anymore. I'm pulling my investment immediately!" Harvey started to panic, forcing himself to let out a couple of stiff, uneasy chuckles. "Kyven, our agreement has already been made. Without your money, I'd have to sell off the assets or else I'd go bankrupt! You're pushinginto a corner here!" Upon hearing that, Kyven exclaimed in shock, "You're actually thinking of selling off the assets? Those do not only belong to you! How dare you!" Even though Harvey was secretly panicking, he spoke with a half-smile. "I do. If you insist on forcing me, I'm left with no other choice but to act this way. You can't stopeither because I'm still the head of the Wolford family!" The color drained from Kyven's face in an instant! Harvey softened his tone once again, saying, "Of course, that's my last resort. I genuinely want to collaborate with you, and I truly want to take care of Kieran. Don't let others stir up trouble between us." Kyven gritted his teeth in silence, reflecting on the fact that he and Harvey would either rise or fall together. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke up ruthlessly. "All right then. You must call a family meeting tonight. Prepare your will, stating that you cannot acknowledge Quincy as your own for the rest of your life. Also, you need to add one more condition. If Kieran dies, you must step down from your position as head of the family! If not, consider our conversation over!" At that point, Harvey was seething with anger. Forced into such a corner, he felt not only fury but also a profound sense of helplessness. Despite living for so many years, he was astounded to find himself in a situation where he was utterly at a loss.

Then, as tpassed, his calculated moves had dealt a devastating blow to the Wolford family, all within a span of just one year.
A single year had obliterated the accumulation of over a decade of Harvey's life! Not to mention, it was done with such a casual attitude.
Harvey, weary, shook his head. Looking into Kyven's eyes, he understood. He could no longer entertain his petty schemes. For his own sake, Yelena and Quincy had to be sacrificed. Either way, he could afford to support two women, but they were destined never to be able to step into the public eye again.
In the end, the two brothers finally cto an agreement. They would discreetly hold a family meeting that night.
At that point, even if Quincy truly wanted to behave modestly and keep a low profile, it was no longer possible unless they were willing to be sacrificed.
At the Langley residence, Quincy received a call from Calista, her voice filled with unease. "Is what you're saying true?" "Why would I lie to you?" Calista seemed to be taking a shower. The faint sound of water could still be heard on her end.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Harvey will be signing the agreement tonight, and there's an additional clause in it. If Kieran dies, Harvey has to relinquish his position as the head of the family. In other words, once this agreement is signed tonight, Kieran will be Harvey's sole heir. Meanwhile, you'll forever remain an illegitimate daughter with no inheritance rights, even worse off than before." Seeing that Quincy was silent, Calista continued to speak. "Of course, you're so understanding, so you definitely wouldn't want to put your new dad in a difficult position, right? Anyway, even if you can't bechis daughter, he will still take care of you. You don't have to worry about that." Quincy's fingers dug into her flesh anxiously. She had hurriedly urged Yelena to divorce, but it certainly wasn't to beca shameful illegitimate daughter! A somewhat mysterious laughter from Calista echoed from the other end of the phone. "However, if things end up that way, you'll never be able to surpassin your lifetime. I could easily end you when the tcomes. Is this the life you want?" With a sense of regret, Calista finally said, "Harvey really baffles me. Yes, acknowledging you might cause him sloss and trouble, but you're his only daughter. He's being incredibly heartless. If I were in your shoes, I would've caused a scene before he could sign that agreement, forcing him to acknowledge you. Even if he must sacrifice something because of you, he'll still be a rich and influential figure, won't he?" After Calista finished speaking, she hung up the phone with a chuckle. To be honest, it was quite amusing to have her adversary dancing in the palm of her hand like this.
After putting down her phone, Quincy found it hard to regain her composure for quite stime'm being abandoned? Before, Harvey assuredhe'd acknowledgeas his daughter after stime. Now, he seems ready to give up onin the blink of an eye! Quincy shared the matter with Yelena, who also realized the gravity of the situation. Harvey signing such an agreement clearly showed he didn't care about her well-being at all!
When the tcame, she was certain to becthe laughingstock of Horington. Neither the mother nor the daughter could stand for that. They had given up on the Stafford family to reach that point, so they simply couldn't accept such an outcome! Finally, Yelena sought help from her father. If she could becpart of the Wolford family, the Langley family would also benefit. In her opinion, there was no reason why he wouldn't assist them at that critical moment.
The head of the Langley family, Matthew, who was also the father of Yelena, was in his sixties or seventies. Yet, his eyes remained as sharp as ever.
"You're right. We can't let Harvey
sign this agreement!" Matthew's face was extremely gloomy. "Over the years, although the Wolford family has taken care of us we've also done quite a bit for them. Now, if he signs this agreement and disowns Quincy for life, then it'll be as if our Langley family and the Wolford family have severed all ties. Therefore, we cannot allow him to sign this agreement!"
