Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Heaven’s Way Rewards Retribution
Thinking about those assets that will all have to be handed over in the future, Florence Warner was furious, her anger making her jump up and down!
"Fiona, have you lost your mind? Your dad and I have lived in this house for decades, and you say move out, just like that? Is it that easy?"
She glared fiercely at Fiona Vaughn, her voice as sharp as a pig’s squeal.
"Whatever that dead girl says is what goes? Now that she’s gone with The Eldest Young Master Law, you’re really willing to give them the old house? And those properties downtown, they’re worth a fortune!"
"Think about when your dad and I are gone, aren’t these properties meant for you and the child in your belly? If that little brat takes it all, how will you have anything valuable to pass down?"
Fiona Vaughn surveyed the villa’s furnishings, her beautiful eyes flickering with reluctance.
Now that most of the Radiant Group’s shares are in Cecilia Vaughn’s hands, her dowry has shrunk significantly. If it weren’t for the child she was carrying, Tyson Law’s mother would have long been displeased with her as a daughter-in-law.
Fiona Vaughn’s thoughts swirled, seeing Tyson Law looking somewhat dazed and foolishly watching in the direction Cecilia Vaughn and the others left, she gritted her teeth and immediately signaled to Florence Warner.
"Mom, what are you saying, don’t keep calling her a dead girl; she’s part of our family too."
Florence Warner, still fuming, was about to question why Fiona was speaking up for Cecilia Vaughn, but seeing Fiona’s look, she quieted down.
Fiona Vaughn understandingly linked arms with Tyson Law, her star-like eyes shimmering with a soft yet sorrowful light.
"These things in the house were left by sister’s grandfather in the first place, it’s only natural she wants them back. It’s just that she shouldn’t tell dad and mom to get lost, that’s not what a child should do, don’t you think, Tyson?"
Tyson Law was still pondering the scene of Cecilia Vaughn leaving with his brother, feeling sour and uneasy, and was suddenly brought back by Fiona’s words.
"Ah... Fiona, you mean the family properties really should be returned to Cecilia?"
Fiona Vaughn raised her fair neck like jade, sighed softly, and looked at Tyson Law with pitiful eyes.
"Yes... Tyson, those things were originally sister’s. I don’t really hold much resentment, but... what she did really hurt our feelings."
"How can parents take more from their children, but sister doesn’t care at all and told dad and mom to leave, which makes me so sad... In her heart, I fear she no longer sees this as her family."
"If she takes these properties, where are dad and mom supposed to live? I really don’t know what to do..."
Meeting Fiona Vaughn’s tearful eyes, Tyson Law felt a pang in his heart, overwhelmed with a subtle sadness.
"Fiona, don’t cry... Cecilia really went too far."
Tyson Law thought of how he was just now distracted by Cecilia Vaughn’s cold demeanor and neglected his pregnant wife, silently cursing himself for being thoughtless.
Fiona, with her understanding nature, how could she be compared to Cecilia Vaughn, whose heart is hard as iron?
Someone who can even abandon her parents, how good can her character be?
...
Florence Warner, seeing Fiona Vaughn’s tearful appearance, immediately chimed in to justify her own greed.
"Tyson, don’t you think that’s the truth? Gregory and I are about to become grandparents; how could we covet Cecilia’s things, yet Cecilia treats us like thieves."
"This isn’t family, it’s like enemies!"
Gregory Vaughn, standing beside her, also angrily spat out.
"Failed to raise a daughter, failed to raise a daughter!"
"How could I raise such an ingrate."
Florence Warner saw that everyone shared her sentiment, immediately firming up her stance.
"Right! It’s not that we want to take advantage of Cecilia, but if she treats us this way, how could we be willing to move out?"
...
While Florence Warner was fuming, suddenly she saw a group of unfamiliar bulky men surge into the courtyard.
The leader was clearly involved with the underworld, bald and bare-chested in the cold winter, with a dragon tattoo and a sinister black scar on his face.
Florence Warner was taken aback, while Fiona Vaughn and Gregory Vaughn were so shocked they nearly popped their eyes out.
"Brother Qiang... how is it you?"
This bald, scarred man was precisely the thug Gregory Vaughn once hired to demolish Cecilia Vaughn’s grandmother’s house!
Only Joan Sinclair’s house wasn’t demolished, instead Gregory Vaughn was severely beaten.
...
"Father-in-law, do you know these men?"
Tyson Law was astonished as he looked over at the bald, scarred man, then turned to Gregory Vaughn with a look of shock.
The man clearly didn’t seem like a good person, how could Gregory Vaughn be acquainted with such a person?!
...
Fiona Vaughn also recalled the identity of this thug, and silently panicked. She had also been involved in prompting Brother Qiang to demolish Joan Sinclair’s house and threaten the elderly to admit to forging the equity agreement.
No matter for others, but with Tyson Law present, this matter must not be exposed, otherwise how could she maintain her innocent and kind image?
Feeling guilty, her voice trembled.
"What... what do you want? This is breaking and entering!"
The scarred man in front smirked at Fiona Vaughn.
"Miss Vaughn, long time no see. You hired me to tear down old lady Joan Sinclair’s house, causing my brothers a lot of trouble. Now it’s karma, I’ve been hired to kick you out!"
Fiona Vaughn turned pale, clutching Tyson Law’s hand tightly, unwilling to admit to anything.
"You’re talking nonsense, I don’t understand..."
Joan Sinclair?
Isn’t that Cecilia Vaughn’s grandmother?
Why would they demolish Joan Sinclair’s house?
Tyson Law, full of doubt, glanced between Fiona Vaughn, wanting to get to the bottom of it, however Fiona Vaughn wore a pained and fragile expression, clutching her stomach.
"Brother Tyson... my stomach hurts so badly. Maybe the baby kicked me, could you take me to the hospital? I feel awful."
"But these people clearly aren’t friendly, are we leaving mom and dad here?"
Tyson Law hesitated, looking between the bald, scarred men, but when he saw Fiona Vaughn’s face covered in cold sweat, he was pained.
"Fiona, alright, I’ll take you first. Father-in-law, hold on, I’ll be back after taking Fiona."
Fiona Vaughn, weakly leaning on Tyson Law, urged him to leave.
...
"Tch tch, such a coward, daring to do but not daring to admit."
The bald, scarred man shook his head as he watched Tyson Law carry Fiona Vaughn away.
He then turned his attention to Gregory Vaughn and Florence Warner, wielding an iron rod menacingly.
"So, will you leave on your own, or should I help you out?"
