Chapter 509
Grandma Baker opened her mouth to speak, but she didn’t say anything in the end.
“April, don’t be angry, it’s not worth it,” Jared consoled her. “You didn’t do anything wrong, I support your decision!”
April’s eyes were still red as she nodded.
Ashley walked over to hold April’s hand and comforted her.
“I’m fine,” April wiped her tears away and squeezed a smile out as she turned to look at Ethan. “I just can’t let my children suffer like that anymore.”
“I won’t let anyone bully you anymore.”
Ethan nodded vigorously.
Diane came downstairs with Jenny to find that the atmosphere in the living room was very strange but they had no idea what happened.
“What happened?” Jenny looked at all the adults. “Where’s the First Aunt?”
“You will have no First Aunt from now on,” replied Jared directly.
Jenny was stunned by this answer, but she figured out what happened quickly.
Diane walked over to Ethan and he told her what happened. She immediately got angry.
“That’s going way too far!” Diane scoffed. “It’s fine if they want to cut ties! Don’t tell me they still want to bully my mother?!”
“Ok, I’ll send a public announcement to say that our family has nothing to do with their family from now on,” said Ethan.
He was very sure that the moment Sherry’s family had nothing to do with the Palmer family, their lives would go through a tremendous change.
“Let’s eat! The food’s getting cold!” said William loudly to change the topic. He patted Jared’s shoulder and laughed, “Since you hardly come over, then we should have a few drinks!”
“Oh no, a few drinks isn’t enough,” William added on, “We’re not going anywhere until we’re both wasted! You can sleep here tonight and I’ll get someone to send your family back tomorrow!”
The atmosphere in the house quickly became lively again.
…
On the other side.
Sherry’s family was driving out of Greencliff and all of them had nasty looks on their faces.
“Who do they think they are? Do they really think they’re that great? Their noses are in the air!” Christopher spat loudly. “Pretending to be a big shot now, huh? We don’t care!”
“Exactly! It’s just Palmer Group anyway! Son, you’d better buck up and get into an even better company! I’m going to make them regret this!” Sherry started shouting angrily too.
April had actually said that it was fine to cut ties, so Sherry wouldn’t be able to threaten her anymore.
Sherry wasn’t bothered. It wasn’t as if she couldn’t live anymore without this younger sister anyway.
This was ridiculous!
Christopher’s phone started ringing.
He pulled his phone out and saw that it was his direct supervisor. This official had often come to say hello to him recently.
“What do you want?” Christopher answered the call with a nasty voice because he was in a bad mood.
“What sort of attitude is this?”
The other side immediately became angry. Did Christopher really think he was some big shot?
“Just say what you want to say.”
Christopher was used to throwing his weight around and seemed to have forgotten that the person on the line was his boss and not the other way round.
“Hoho, I’m calling to inform you that you’ve been fired! You don’t have to come to work tomorrow!”
“Wh-what?!”
“Christopher, don’t think you’re some big shot!” said the voice on the other side coldly. “If you weren’t related to the Palmer family, I’d have kicked you out a long time ago! Fucking idiot!”
The other side hung up with a sense of satisfaction.
Christopher was completely stunned.
“Hello? Hello!” he shouted. His face was pale. He had only left the Palmer house moments ago and he had already been fired?
How was this possible?
“What happened?” Sherry looked worried and didn’t dare to ask too loudly since Christopher’s eyes now looked like two vacant spots.
“I…”
Christopher’s lips moved, but before he could say anymore, Felix’s phone started ringing too.
Since he was driving, he used his Bluetooth earpiece to take the call. He had only said one hello before he started shouting loudly, “What did you say? Why are you firing me? On what grounds…”
