Chapter 174

Chapter 174

The internet feud had brought Greendale Village into the limelight.

Everyone knew the truth now. Moreover, most of the villagers had long known

about Hermann’s character and despised him.

However, no matter how horrible Hermann was as a person, that was a

personal matter, but now that scandal was exposed, it was embarrassing the

entire Cadigan family.

When they were out elsewhere in the future, everyone there would feel

ashamed to admit they were from Greendale Village.

“Grandpa, w–what should we do now?” Jamison panicked and looked at his

grandfather helplessly.

Hermann didn’t know what to do either. He had no experience in dealing with

such matters.

“Henrietta, hurry up and go out there to tell those villagers to leave!”

“That’s right! If you can’t do it alone, ask Grandma to tag along!”

Whenever trouble arose, Jamison’s first thought would be to ask his sister

and grandmother for help. In the Cadigan family, women had very low status.

“This…”

A reluctant look spread across Henrietta’s countenance. It was clearly

Jamison and Grandpa who caused the mess, so why am I the one who

needs to face the villager’s wrath?

“Hurry up! If you don’t go, I’ll beat you to death!” Hermann immediately raised

the broom to hit her.

Since she was little, Henrietta had been beaten countless times by Hermann,

even bearing permanent scars on her thighs and back.

In contrast, Jamison had never been beaten even once.

Her status was as lowly as a dog in the household.

Under duress, Henrietta eventually went to answer the door.

Still, no matter how much she persuaded the villagers, even lying to them

that her grandfather and younger brother weren’t there, they refused to

leave and barged into their house.

Standing behind the crowd, Beatrix also came to watch the drama with her

two bodyguards.

Taking in that scene, the playful young lady clapped in excitement and

muttered, “Hmph! I can’t believe this grandfather–and–grandson duo tried to

play such tricks on Manuel. Mackenzie will definitely make them suffer!”

Those villagers had undoubtedly gone to confront Hermann and his

grandson because of Lexi’s instigation.

For Lexi, someone with strong planning and execution skills, inciting the

villagers‘ emotions to deal with Hermann and Jamison was as easy as ABC.

Initially, Hermann and Jamison wanted to escape through the back door, but

before they could get out, they were surrounded by those incensed villagers.

The duo became overwrought. They never dreamed that they would end up

as the cyberbullying victims and be besieged in real life instead of Roselynn

and Emmanuel.

“Hermann, one should not be so shameless! Others might not know, but do

you think we from Greendale Village don’t know the truth?” The village chief

was the first to speak up and chided Hermann, “The money Alessandra’s

family took was what they deserved, and you only returned a fraction to

them. On the other hand, your family borrowed fifty to sixty thousand from

them to repay Emerson’s debt. Afterward, they even gave you another

twenty thousand. How can you be so ungrateful as to repay their kindness

with animosity? You’re indeed more despicable than animals!”

Following the village chief’s lead, the rest of the villagers also chimed in with

righteous indignation.

“That’s right. Are you heartless? How can you frame your own grandson like

this?”

”

“Get out of Greendale Village and quit bringing shame to our village!”

“I suggest we remove the two of them from Greendale Village’s census

records and chase them out of here!”

“I agree! In the future, when Greendale Village shares profits, we shouldn’t

give a penny to people like them!”

Hearing those angry voices and seeing the villagers‘ furious demeanors,

Jamison curled up on the ground, not daring to move.

Hermann didn’t have the courage to resist either. Their family was weak and

couldn’t win against so many villagers.

The village chief declared, “Hermann, if you don’t want to be expelled from

the village, quickly apologize and beg your granddaughter and grandson to

delete their posts to minimize the consequences of this incident! Otherwise,

we’ll handle this matter according to the village rules. Any villager who

tarnishes the village’s reputation and brings serious negative impact will

have their names removed from the census records and be driven out of

Greendale Village!”

“Ah? A–All right!”
