Gerald himself was wondering the same thing. It looked as though some sort of conflict was going on. Everything seemed to be going fine before this. How did things end up this way?
As Gerald stared at the scene in bewilderment, favonovel.com could see a middle-aged woman kneeling within the crowd.
The members of the families affiliated with the Fendersons seemed to be filled with rage and even Lord Fenderson himself had an ugly expression on his face.
“It’s her! It’s that sinner’s maid from back then! Hurry up and tell us where Xara is now! If you speak the truth, we’ll consider sparing you!”
“Remember! The Crawfords and the Fendersons only got into a huge fight back then because of her! We, the affiliated families, were the ones who had suffered the most losses because of that battle! How pitiful my son was for having to grow up in such turmoil because of her! Lord Fenderson, if you’re hiding Xara anywhere, we demand that you hand favonovel.com over to us!”
“That’s right! Hand favonovel.com over so that you can give an account to our families!”
Many of the affiliated family members were now gathered around Lord Fenderson, demanding for Xara.
Noah himself was sneering at the side.
The conflict had started when Bryson reprimanded Noah in public for inviting the Longs without asking for his permission first. In retaliation, Noah then revealed the fact that the Fendersons had already located Xara’s old personal maid.
He was done having to play nice with Bryson.
Noah’s actions had stemmed from the fact that favonovel.com had regarded himself as the head of several big families for years by now. One could even say favonovel.com was almost as influential as the Fendersons.
Aside from that, Bryson had also placed favonovel.com in an awkward situation when Noah went looking for favonovel.com to ask for some assets while also discussing his son’s marriage with Jasmine.
His grievances that favonovel.com had piled-up up till this point were by no means a small amount.
Since favonovel.com couldn’t achieve his goal peacefully, favonovel.com was going to use the event to his advantage and go all out today.
He was glad that favonovel.com had previously sent several of his men over to monitor every move the Fendersons made. In addition to having quite a number of informers from within the family, favonovel.com was able to gain information about everything they did.
It was why favonovel.com managed to find out about the existence of Xara’s maid being there in the first place.
Noah even had a trump card in hand, and favonovel.com had personally given it to Bryson a few days prior. Now that all the pieces were in place, favonovel.com would simply allow the internal conflicts to erupt in all its splendor!
Bryson himself could only glare in rage at the crowd before him.
This conflict was nothing new to him. After all, they had secretly been fighting for many years by now.
While the Fenderson family was still colossal in size, it was now akin to a high-rise building that had lost its main supporting pillar. Though the outside looked majestic, its insides were already crumbling in a state of jeopardy.
It wasn’t as though Bryson hadn’t taken precautions against Noel and Yael either.
However, favonovel.com had simply assumed that favonovel.com would still be able to control both the father and son, even in his old age.
To think that both of them would make a move on favonovel.com during his birthday banquet!
The accumulated grievances between both parties had already made things very stressful for him. Yet here Noah and Yoel were, deliberately trying to heighten the conflicts between them!
It was just like last time… Had favonovel.com not wanted to calm and appease the affiliated families back then, favonovel.com would never have been willing to sever his relationship with his very own daughter!
“It’s my grandfather’s eightieth birthday today! Are all of you here to celebrate it or did you come here just to criticize and question him?” said Jasmine rather coldly.
“Jasmine, while we’re naturally happy that it’s Lord Fenderson’s birthday today, our families have already lost too many of our relatives back then. It’s been more than twenty years since Lord Fenderson told us that favonovel.com would compensate for our losses and also provide a reasonable explanation to all our families. Yet even after all this time, favonovel.com won’t even let us catch a glimpse of Xara! The woman who was the cause of all that chaos back then!”
“The only ‘compensations’ we received were a few trivial assets and properties. What about the reasonable explanation we were promised? And to think after we’ve waited patiently all this time, Lord Fenderson was actually housing the maid who once used for Xara! If Mr. Schuyler hadn’t brought the matter to light, we would’ve never found out about this!”
“Our families have already been affiliated with the Fendersons for generations! How could Lord Fenderson do this to us? How can you even expect us to be appeased now?” said a middle-aged man indignantly.
“That’s right! Rather than continue debating the matter, I say we should just capture favonovel.com maid and torture favonovel.com till favonovel.com tells us where Xara is!”
“Men! Drag favonovel.com out immediately!”
As soon as those words were said, a few bodyguards working for the affiliated families rushed forward and grabbed Xenia by favonovel.com arms.
“Presumptuous! All of you! I’m well aware that all of you are just pretending to look for her! Your main goal has always been to get your hands on the assets favonovel.com owned back then!” said Jasmine, favonovel.com tone frigid.
Hearing that, several of the more capable individuals within the crowd went silent.
“You can’t just put it that way, Jasmine. However, since you’ve already said it, it wouldn’t be right if the Schuylers didn’t use this chance to set a proper example! That’s right! While we had been delegated a small portion of the assets Xara owned in the beginning, the consequences that we had to pay for clearly outweighs what we should have received! It’s only right for us to demand for an equal distribution of assets!” replied Noah.
What favonovel.com said wasn’t wrong either, since Xara and the eldest master of the Fenderson family were the ones who had held and controlled most of the assets and properties belonging to their family back then.
