Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 720

“The eight branches of the collateral family should indeed be severely punished for harming David. Not to mention confiscating all their assets, even if all of them are removed from the family tree now, they deserve it. But…” Harley sized up the expression on Old Mr. Jones’s face and rubbed the thumb ring on his thumb with his fingers. “Although Miss Marina’s mistake implicated and humiliated the entire Jones family, it’s not a heinous crime. You publicly expelled her from the Jones family. Isn’t this punishment a little too much?”

By saying these words, Harley seemed to be persuading Old Mr. Jones to be lenient, but in fact, he was hinting to everyone that Old Mr. Jones was cold-blooded and heartless. For the benefit of the family, Old Mr. Jones could even abandon his biological daughter.

The people present were extremely smart. Of course, they could understand Harley’s meaning.

For a moment, everyone’s expressions were intriguing.

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Jones turned to look at Harley of the Elders. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark and complicated look flickered in his eyes.

Old Mr. Jones’s lips curled into a smile. “The Jones family’s rules. have always been strict. I’m just following the family rules. After all, she’s my biological daughter. How can I not dote on her? As her father, I have the responsibility of not teaching her well. Now that Marina has been expelled from the Jones family, she naturally can’t be considered one of the Jones family. As her biological father, I should be punished.

“From today onwards, I will stay at home and reflect on my mistakes. If you have anything to discuss, feel free to look for David.”

With that, Old Mr. Jones stood up and excused himself to the crowd before turning to leave.

Harley narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Old Mr. Jones leave.

In order not to be criticized by others, Old Mr. Jones was even willing to let go of his biological daughter.

By saying that now that Marina had been expelled from the Jones family, she naturally couldn’t be considered one of the Jones family, Old Mr. Jones cut off the others’ thoughts of seeking revenge on Marina.

It seemed like Old Mr. Jones ruthlessly punished Marina, but it was actually a cover-up to protect her. Marina was removed from the Jones family, and she would no longer be targeted by the Jones family’s enemies.

Old Mr. Jones was getting more and more cunning as he got older.

However, it was unknown if Marina could live up to Old Mr. Jones’s painstaking planning.

until Old Mr. Jones’s figure completely disappeared from his sight that Harley slowly retracted his gaze. “Today’s incident was sudden and everyone must have already been mentally and physically exhausted. Let’s end the meeting
