Chapter 119 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

Children are weak and people’s hearts are naturally biased towards them.

The corners of his lips were curled up slightly. The Herbert family must have seen it by now, right? He thought.

In the Herbert family…

Smash!

Except for the sounds of things being smashed in the living room, no other voice could be heard.

The whole living room was silent.

Landon had smashed everything in the living room.

The ground was messy.

Sampson and Maria stood trembling at the door.

They had never seen Landon so angry.

He shook with anger as he pointed at the Herbert siblings standing by the door with his fingers, “You, you both are very capable, but only capable of causing trouble!”

At the side, Warner was holding Camilla back, not letting her go forward. Landon was so angry; it was obvious that whoever went forward was to become cannon fodder.

He was also disappointed with his younger siblings.

Sharing responsibility as a family only brought trouble.

This time, the Herbert family’s reputation was ruined.

It would have been stranger if Landon had not been angry.

“You both! Get lost from here! Herbert family will not have people like you who can accomplish nothing and ruin everything!” Landon’s chest rose and fell heavily.

“We are also good for the family…”

Landon grabbed the telephone on the table and threw it at Maria who was talking.

“Shut up!”

“Good for the family?” Landon trembled with anger, “First, you got engaged in the Mendelsohn family but because you were not capable, he broke off the engagement. Now because of you, the Herbert family is cursed by everyone and you still have the guts to say that you are good for the family?!”

Maria had not avoided in time and the phone head hit her on her right arm. She held it painfully, “We were really doing it for the family’s good.”

“Okay, okay, okay. You say! Tell me how it was for the good of the family.” Landon sat down in a chair.

He was tired after the anger.

“We kidnapped the child because his mother was the woman Sampson liked. If we had threatened the mother to marry Sampson after kidnapping the child, then I would still have been able to marry

Cormac, just like it was originally planned. Would this not have been good for the Herbert family?”

“That was it?” Landon said. His face flushed and his voice turned bone-chilling with ridicule, “What do you take Cormac Mendelsohn for? Because his current woman gets married to someone else, he will just come back to marry you?”

He really wanted to break open her head and see what was in her mind.

“Are you drunk? Even if all the women in this world die, he will still not marry you. Didn’t you see his decisiveness on the day he broke the engagement? He stabbed a knife into your heart so easily. If he liked you even a little bit, he would not have looked so determined.”

“No, no…” Maria refused to admit, “As long as that woman marries someone else, Cormac will be definitely willing to be engaged to me.”

“Wake up! Stop dreaming and exploiting people! Can’t you see that you provoked his anger?” Warner had been in the business world long enough to be somewhat familiar with Cormac.

He is not easy to push around.

And to attack one of his people?

It was like looking for death!

“Are you saying that this news leaked because of him?” Sampson, who had not spoken until now, seemed to understand what his brother meant.

In the village, Boyce had been very nice to them and had let them come back.

It turned out to be a back hand.

Warner snorted coldly, “How else do you think the public opinion was overwhelming in just two three hours. Also, if no one was working on spreading this secretly, would things have been revealed to this point?”

He pointed to the headline on the news, “Look, every word every sentence is directed towards the

Herbert family.”

Landon’s anger had cooled off a bit at this moment. He had already known that this was done purposefully by someone; otherwise the news would not have spread so quickly.

Now, he had to pay a visit to the Mendelsohn family.

Seeing the pair of his stupid worry-free children, he became angry, “What am I getting angry at you two for? You both don’t even have one-tenth of Warner’s sense. You make trouble for me to clean up every day.”

“Dad, I’ll go with you.” Warner stepped forward.

Landon nodded, “Yeah, you coming with me is a good idea.”

Among his three children, his favorite is his eldest son. Although he had no talent in doing business, he was steady and had never troubled his family. Now, he was also taking care of the family business.

He glanced again at the other two, he immediately felt angry again.

“This matter is not resolved. You two are not allowed to go out. Stay home and think about what you did!”

“Dad…”

Maria wanted to explain that even though her intentions were selfish, it was true that she wanted to be useful for the family. If what happened hadn’t happened, she was sure they wouldn’t have been treated like this.

As soon as she said that, she was held by Sampson besides her, “Stop talking!”

“Why?” Maria was not convinced, “My original intention was to do something for the family. I didn’t succeed but it should not be unforgivable! It is unfair to treat us like this!”

Landon clutched his chest, extremely angry.

Not only did she not admit to her mistake, but she also refused to listen to his words?

“Okay now, stop talking! Can’t you see that Dad is angry?” Warner scolded her.

“Don’t pretend to be a good person in front of Dad. You are just afraid that Sampson and I will divide the family property and take your position in the group. That is why you are pleasing Dad in every way you can…”

“Enough!” Landon slammed his hand on the table in anger and coughed. His face turned red as he continued to cough and Warner patted him on the back.

“It has always been like that; Warner licks people’s boots outside and then come home to lick Dad’s boots.”

Warner was the only one in charge of the family business. Maria had been home at Herbert family’s house for so many years. Every time she mentions her desire to work for the company, Warner makes deliberate excuses to prevent him from going.

Didn’t this mean that he was afraid of losing the property?

“That’s it! Both of you get lost! Go back in your rooms!” Camilla couldn’t listen anymore. They were all her own children; they were all equally important to her.

“Let her talk!” Landon opened his mouth. He was breathing heavily, as if he was going to faint any moment now.

“Dad! Is it fair to leave the company to Warner alone?” Maria had been dissatisfied since a long time ago and now was her chance to say it all.

Warner looked at her quietly.

Landon raised an eyebrow, “Are you talking to me about being fair?”

He was not an old fool. He only attached importance to his oldest son, Warner, because he saw through it completely.

Sampson went to study psychology even though he disagreed with his decision, and became a psychiatrist. Now that he had come back, he didn’t know anything about business. Especially in this competitive era, it was not easy.

Was it too late for him to learn? Besides, was doing business something that could even be learned.

Doing business needs ability, courage and vision.

Sampson had none.

And Maria, she was able to stay beside Cormac in the beginning, not because she was capable and talented but because of her childhood he pitied her and let her stay beside him as a secretary.

She just served tea, poured water and arranged his daily schedule.

The most important thing was that she was a woman and was going to be married in the future.

To give her shares and let her take them to someone else’s house?

It was impossible.

And then there was Warner. He went to business school and learned with him after graduation before taking over the company.

Even though he was not outstanding, he had been in the business world for many years. He had no ability to grow the company but he had accumulated enough experience and can maintain the status quo of the group.

Therefore, his elder son had performed well enough to hold the power so he too turned a blind eye to it.
