Chapter 247 Selling Off Asset
Harvey was taken aback.
âI suppose youâre planning to rob me blind, then do away with Kieran, arenât you? I used to think that, being family, you wouldnât stoop so low. To think I trusted you. I wonât fall for your words anymore. Iâm pulling my investment immediately!â
Harvey started to panic, forcing himself to let out a couple of stiff, uneasy chuckles. âKyven, our agreement has already been made. Without your money. Iâd have to sell off the assets or else Iâd go bankrupt! Youâre pushing me into a corner here!â
Upon hearing that, Kyven exclaimed in shock, âYouâre actually thinking of selling off the assets? Those do not only belong to you! How dare you!â
Even though Harvey was secretly panicking, he spoke with a halfâsmile. âI do. If you insist on forcing me, Iâm left with no other choice but to act this way. You canât stop me either because Iâm still the head of the Wolford family!â
The color drained from Kyvenâs face in an instant!
Harvey softened his tone once again, saying, âOf course, thatâs my last resort. I genuinely want to collaborate with you, and I truly want to take care of Kieran. Donât let others stir up trouble between us.â
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. âAll 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!â
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.
Kallum was truly a force to be reckoned with, having surpassed the older generation. At the start, Kallum tricked Sterling into buying a worthless piece of land. Then, as time passed, 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 Harveyâs life! Not to mention, it was done with such a casual attitude.
Harvey, weary, shook his head. Looking into Kyvenâs 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 came to 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. âIs what youâre

heard on her end.
âHarvey will be signing the agreement tonight, and thereâs 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 Harveyâs sole heir. Meanwhile, youâll forever remain an illegitimate daughter with no inheritance rights, even worse off than before.â Seeing that Quincy was silent, Calista continued to speak. âOf course, youâre so understanding, so you definitely wouldnât want to put your new dad in a difficult position, right? Anyway, even if you canât become his daughter, he will still take care of you. You donât have to worry about that,â
Quincyâs fingers dug into her flesh anxiously. She had hurriedly urged Yelena to divorce, but it certainly wasnât to become a shameful illegitimate daughter!
A somewhat mysterious laughter from Calista echoed from the other end of the phone. âHowever, if things end up that way, youâll never be able to surpass me in your lifetime. I could easily end you when the time comes. Is this the life you want?â
With a sense of regret, Calista finally said, âHarvey really baffles me. Yes, acknowledging you might cause him some loss and trouble, but youâre his only daughter. Heâs being incredibly heartless. If I were in your shoes, I wouldâve caused a scene before he could sign that agreement, forcing him to acknowledge you. Even if he must sacrifice something because of you, heâll still be a rich and influential figure, wonât he?â
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 some time. Iâm being abandoned? Before, Harvey assured me heâd acknowledge me as his daughter after some time. Now, he seems ready to give up on me in 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 didnât care about her wellâbeing at all!
When the time came, she was certain to become the 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 couldnât accept such an outcome!
Finally, Yelena sought help from her father. If she could become part of the Wolford family, the Langley family would also benefit. In her opinion, there was no reason why he wouldnât 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.
âYouâre right. We canât let Harvey sign this agreement!â Matthewâs face was extremely gloomy. âOver the years, although the Wolford family has taken care of us, weâve also done quite a bit for them. Now, if he signs this agreement and disowns Quincy for life, then itâll be as if our Langley family and the Wolford family have severed all ties. Therefore, we cannot allow him to sign this agreement!â
