Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 626 Cedrick Is Ruthless

Breathing heavily, Yael endured the agonizing pain all over his body as he glared at Cedrick and gnashed his teeth, hating himself for being unable to bite the latter to death right then and there.

Cedrick met his gaze with a condescending look in his eyes, his expression cold.

Yael could not help thinking about how he had worked so hard his whole life only to suffer such a punishment in his old age. On top of that, he was criticized by his kin and kicked out of the family. To him, a punishment like that was nothing short of a death sentence.

However, Cedrick was determined to destroy every last shred of dignity Yael had carefully cultivated in the Jensen family for many years, making the latter pay a hefty price for his past sins.

The ruthless punishment that took place in the ancestral hall unsettled everyone who witnessed the scene.

Yael’s mouth had been taped shut after Nico found him too noisy, so the former had no way of hurling the insults and curses he wanted to say. All he could do was glare at Cedrick accusingly.

By the time the meeting ended, the smell of Yael’s blood had permeated the entire ancestral hall, leaving many looking pale and terrified.

Cedrick instructed Nico to take Yael away, send him back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s detention center, and seek treatment for the injuries on his back.

After Yael had been led away, the other family members could finally leave, and many slipped off hastily.

In truth, it would have been sufficient to gather a few of the family’s respected elders to watch Yael and his family receive punishment. However, Cedrick had summoned everyone to witness the ruthless act of kicking them out of the family. Clearly, it was to make an example of them and warn the rest to watch their behavior. If anyone dared to do what Yael and his family did and keep causing trouble, they would be taught a lesson.

Everyone present was smart and could guess Cedrick’s real motive for calling for the meeting, especially the two men who had just tried to help Yael and his family-Albert and Clarence. Stricken with terror. they desperately wished they could strap themselves to a rocket and leave the ancestral hall immediately.

However, just as the two older men reached the hall’s entrance, they were stopped by the Jenson family’s bodyguards. “Mr. Albert and Mr. Clarence, please stay a little longer. Mr. Cedrick would like to speak to the both of you in private.”
