Chapter 795 Expulsion from Davies Family
Erik made it sound as if the whole world owed him, but it sounded ridiculous to others!
The patriarch was so angry that he pointed the cane at Elliot and said angrily, "Elliot! Make your own statement!"
Everyone looked at Elliot when the patriarch said that. Even Erik was staring at Elliot. If Elliot was really on Edwin's side, then he wouldn't have a brother anymore!
Erik's eyes were fierce, but his heart was pounding.
"I..." Elliot was sad and hesitant.
"Brother, think it through!" Erik shouted while Elliot was hesitating. "I am different from these people. I am your brother! I am your only relative in this world!"
Although Elliot had always been at odds with his own ambitions, Erik still had a different kind of kinship with him.
"Erik." What Erik said did not convince Elliot, whose eyes darkened and thoughts hardened instead.
"You're my brother, but I can't help you. You and Spencer have gone beyond the bounds of morality. I'm the one who's useless. I haven't taught you well since dad passed away..."
At this point, Elliot stopped looking back at his brother and turned to the patriarch and said firmly,
"Patriarch, Erik is at your disposal, and I will not hold a grudge against you, nor will I protect him without distinction!"
With that, Elliot turned his back on him, seemingly desperate. owns this.
"Elliot!" Erik shouted, not expecting Elliot to actually say that.
"I'm your biological younger brother. Do you still remember what you promised dad in front of his hospital bed? You promised him that you would take care of me, your only relative, for the rest of your life, Elliot! Have you forgotten everything?!"
Elliot was unmoved, and those close to him knew that he was shaking, and that his face was bitter and conflicted. Erik, who had never known his brother's care, was still questioning how he could abandon his closest relative.
"All right," said the patriarch who concerned about Elliot's conflict, turned to Erik and said,
"Erik, I'm going to ask you one last time. Do you repent!?"
"I'm not wrong. Why should I repent!?" Erik was unmoved.
"Alright, I'm announcing in front of our ancestors and relatives today that Erik and Spencer and their descendants will be expelled from the Davies family from now on. They will no longer have any relations with the Davies family. They will no longer be able to use the reputation and influence of the Davies family in the outside world. I'm announcing this decision to all the Davies at another day!"
Hid words were sonorous, without a trace of hesitation.
Erik lost his voice and stared at the patriarch. He could not speak, but his face was hideous and full of hatred.
"Now that you're no longer the Davies, I won't care about family affection anymore," Edwin said flatly. He was also saying this to Elliot.
"I don't like you guys. What's the big deal?!" Erik shouted as he held his breath in his chest.
"One of these days, I'm gonna make you beg me to come back!"
"Otis," Edwin turned to his eldest son in front of Erik and said,
"Let's do it. No mercy."
"Yes," Otis said, glancing at Erik.
Erik's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He stopped shouting and stared at Edwin warily, but he couldn't ask him what he wanted to do. The best thing he could do was to get in touch with his son as soon as possible.
"Edwin, do whatever you have to do," Erik sneered. "If Spencer has Lucia and the kid, it doesn't matter what you do!"
Edwin glanced at Erik. Once the line was drawn, there was no room for forgiveness in his eyes.
"Elders, we must leave at once. Elliot, I'll see you later." Edwin said goodbye to the elders and left without waiting for Elliot to say anything before taking Otis with him. As they passed Erik, they continued to treat him as if he were nothing.
The patriarch sighed deeply. He couldn't figure out, though they were raised by the same father, why Elliot was so sensible and polite, while Erik was so arrogant and domineering.
"Elliot, why don't you go home and get some rest? It's not going to change today."
"I understand," Elliot said softly, then turned and walked toward Erik. Just when Erik thought he was about to say something to him, he saw him walk past him as indifferently as Edwin and his son. "Elliot, you're going to regret this!" Erik said through gritted teeth, staring at Elliot's back.
Elliot paused, hesitated for a moment, then said nothing and walked straight on.
Seeing that Elliot had gone, Erik turned and glared at the huge ancestral hall, leaving the elders to sigh.
As soon as he got out of the place, Erik rushed back to his old house, packed his bags and left. As soon as he got in the car, he contacted his son Spencer.
"Spencer, why don't you tell me everything?!"
Erik was still in shock, but it was a good thing he was holding it together, or else it would be a disaster.
"Dad, you know?" Spencer didn't seem surprised.
"Edwin and Otis brought out the clans and your uncle Elliot. No, Elliot confronted me. Why didn't you tell me?!" Erik asked.
"It's a big deal. I just thought it would be safer if fewer people knew about it. Besides, it's against the law after all. It's safest if you don't know," Spencer explained as he watched the yacht leave, but thought it was because his father would spill the beans.
"Now that I know, tell me everything. We can't lose this time!"
"Yes, I understand," said Spencer, explaining everything to his father and heading back to Athegate.
Unable to save Casper, Nia felt as if she had lost all her strength and spirit.
After going back to Athegate with Arthur from the mountain villa and saying a cursory goodbye, Nia returned to the apartment and gathered all of Casper's closest associates to discuss what to do next. "I think it's best to call Miles at this point," Kevin suggested.
"Even Arthur is at a loss. What can he do?" Nia didn't want to tell Miles that she had her own selfish intentions. If she told Miles that Casper was risking his life to save another woman, how embarrassing would she be?
