Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow Chapter 1683
Charles’ words were solid and powerful, and the entire room fell silent almost immediately.
Pin-drop silence.
Not only were Heather and Malcolm surprised, but even Joshua and Luna’s faces were etched with shock.
Jim was the only person without a single hint of surprise on his face. He was still leaning against his seat gracefully as he sipped his drink.
Luna bit her lip, glancing at him, and asked in a low voice, ” What’s going on, Jim?”
Jim put down his glass with a smile on his face and shot her a knowing look. “Just watch the show.”
Luna chewed her lip.
It seemed that Jim had already known what Charles was going to say, which was why he had persuaded her over and over again to attend the wedding tonight and even dress up for it.
However, Luna had never expected that…
Charles, who had always adored Heather, would announce kicking her out of the family at such an occasion.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna lifted her head to glance at Charles.
At the same time, Charles was staring straight at her.
Their gazes met, and a hint of gentleness flashed through Charles’ otherwise solemn eyes.
Luna froze for a split second, then quickly turned away.
Meanwhile, onstage, Heather could not believe her ears.
She bit her lip and quickly scampered over to Charles’ side. Then, she grabbed hold of his sleeve and asked in a low voice, “Father, did you… happen to say the wrong name out of nerves?
“Isn’t the person who is supposed to be kicked out…Luna? Why did it suddenly become me?”
Charles narrowed his eyes and glanced at Heather coldly, a sneer playing on his lips.
A moment later, he shrugged Heather off and continued in a cold voice, “I didn’t mix up any names; the person I am kicking out of the Landry family tonight is none other than Heather Landry!”
He stared at the crowd before him calmly and explained, ” All of you may be confused as to why I’m kicking Heather out of the family at this time.
“It was already very kind of me to wait until her wedding has ended so that she has a home to go back to after she’s kicked out. As for the reason I’m doing this…”
With that, Charles pointed at the screen, which started displaying the pictures of Heather and the men once more.
“Firstly, her promiscuity has humiliated us and tarnished the reputation of the Landry family, and she even told every single one of the men she had slept with that she would let him become the future heir of the Landry family fortune. Because of this, I do not feel the need to keep this person by my side anymore.”
Malcolm’s expression darkened as soon as he heard this.
Charles was only Heather’s adoptive father, but Malcolm was her husband at this point!
When faced with the photos of Heather’s promiscuity just minutes ago, Malcolm did not say anything to object and instead admitted to being a cuckold because he hoped the Landry family would be able to save him.
All of a sudden, Charles was saying that he did not feel the need to keep a person like Heather by his side.
Was he implying that Malcolm willingly chose to have a wife like this?
Not only was Charles implying that Malcolm had no standards, but he was also insulting the rest of the Quinn family!
Even the Landry family, the people Heather had grown up with, could not stand her, so how could the Quinn family tolerate someone like this?
Malcolm bit his lip and clenched his fists in anger, but he had no means of sticking up for himself.
What was he supposed to say, anyway?
Was he going to tell everyone that he had gone with everything that had happened simply because of money?
Joshua could not help snickering when he saw how angry Malcolm looked and yet had no way of expressing it.
He had clearly underestimated both Charles and Jim.
