Chapter 64 Taking Back The Shares

She was the one that had done most of the work.

Carmen's expression started to sour. How can Demi say that?

Demi glanced at Heather mockingly before continuing, "We should all thank Jacob for standing up for the family when we're in crisis. He delayed the creditors and brought us some fantastic new jobs after we managed to stand on our feet once more. Let's all give a round of applause for Jacob."

She then started clapping loudly with a wide grin on her face.

The other guests looked appreciatively at Jacob.

"It wasn't entirely thanks to me. Grandma, your wise teachings really helped a lot. Your advice was what gave me the bravery to stand up for the family in our time of need," Jacob said, his face full of glee. He glanced at Heather, his gaze full of mockery.

Heather felt like she was about to pass out from anger.

Whether it was the thirty million or the jobs that they got afterward, it was all thanks to Heather.

How could Granny erase all of my hard work and give Jacob all the recognition?

How could she be so shameless?

Heather had always known that her Granny was rather biased, but she didn't know it was this bad.

For the Jenningses, Heather had willingly sacrificed her dignity and agreed to accompany Walt for three days straight.

"Mom, I think there's been a bit of a misunderstanding. Heather was the one behind everything. If she didn't manage to borrow thirty million from the director of Four Seas Corporation, we'd be completely done for!"

Carmen was obviously unhappy.

Her daughter was the one who worked hard to put their family back on their feet but Demi was over here giving Jacob all the credit.

She felt that Demi had gone way overboard.

"How dare you suspect me?"

Demi glared at Carmen and said angrily, "Your daughter ruined our reputation and whored herself out. She'd disgraced the whole Jennings family! It's already an act of mercy on my part that I didn't kick you and your family out of the Jenningses. How dare you still come to me and ask for recognition?”

Heather felt like her brain was about to explode from sheer rage.

She glared at Demi furiously. Who was the one who begged me to go and accompany Walt in the first place? How could you do this to me?

Heather felt so wronged she could almost cry.

"Sorry for bringing our familial issues into this," Demi sighed and hurriedly explained to the crowd of confused guests.

Then, she turned to look at Carmen and Heather. "Heather, I won't bring up how you embarrassed our family again. However, I'll be taking back all of your brother's and your son's shares. I've always been fair, haven't I? I'll reward your rights and punish your wrongs. I'll give all your shares to Jacob."

Heather felt like passing out upon hearing that.

"Granny, how could you do that? If it wasn't for me..." Heather was overwhelmed by despair and tears started to stream down her face.

She couldn't hold her disappointment and rage back any longer.

"Shut up! Don't you know that everyone out there is talking about how much of an undignified woman you are? After embarrassing the entire family, do you really think you have the right to say anything else?" Demi yelled, cutting Heather off.

Heather smiled hopelessly. All that was left in her heart was despair and anger.

At that very moment, she finally began to hate this family from the very depths of her being.

Lucas was taken aback as well. However, since he knew he was a good-for-nothing loser, he didn't dare to ask about it.

As for Henry and Jacob, they were looking at Alex with a face full of glee.

They had planned this with Demi last night.

Their main goal was to get revenge on Alex.

They wanted to see how Alex and his family could live on if Lucas and Stanley's shares were taken away.

Alex looked at Demi before smirking coldly. He pulled out his phone and sent a text to Jack.
