Chapter: 3103
Jarrod's words sliced through the air like a sharpened blade. "I renounce that detestable salon. And I sever ties with you and Doreen as well. I've bestowed upon both of you ample generosity over the years, bestowing tens of millions. If not for your insatiable greed, you'd be living in comfort at this very moment."
Hallie's eyes flared with incredulity, her voice tinged with fury.
“Are you serious?" she retorted. "You're cutting us off? After years of tending to you, now that you have no use for us, you're simply discarding Doreen and me? For what? A little bit of money? Is your need truly that dire?"
Once Jarrod reached a decision, he became impervious to any attempts at persuasion, having grown weary of Hallie's insincere displays of emotion. Summoning Conor, he commanded in a bark, “Remove this woman from my presence!"
Then, Jarrod's stare turned steely as he directed it at Hallie. "From now on, I refuse to entertain any further mention of Doreen."
Conor nodded sharply. He had harbored dissatisfaction with the mother-daughter duo for quite some time.
Conor had heard everything clearly from outside. Bringing up family ties after reaping so much money from Jarrod with those schemes was absurd. Hallie really excelled at manipulation.
Without the benefits Jarrod had given her, would Hallie still feign concern and offer that supposed help? With wealth yet still dissatisfied, her greed was beyond description.
Frankly, at times, certain relatives proved worse than friends.
Conor forcibly removed the screaming Hallie and handed her to the bodyguards.
Hallie seethed with anger, yelling, “How dare you treat me this way? I am Jarrod's cousin, and that fact is unchangeable. You will regret this disrespect!"
Conor responded icily, “Ma'am, stop referring to yourself as Mr. Schultz's cousin. Aren't you just a remote relative of him?"
Conor knew Hallie all too well. Using the title of Jarrod's "relative," she deceived many businessmen to obtain benefits. Frequent meetings with Jarrod led outsiders to believe she was indeed his close family.
However, Hallie's greed eventually caught up with her, and now she was facing the repercussions.
Hallie seethed. “You're just a petty individual who's gotten Lucky, looking down on others. Once Jarrod calms down, he'll remember the good I've done for him. The first thing he'll do is fire you!"
"Fine, I'll be waiting." Conor smiled.
"You!" Hallie was at a loss for words.
With Jarrod having made his stance clear, Conor refused to entertain Hallie's nonsense anymore. He instructed the bodyguards, “Take her away and ensure she doesn't disturb Mr. Schultz again."
Hallie was incensed. She clung to the door, hurling curses, refusing to depart.
Just then, someone appeared, verified Hallie's identity, and declared they were taking her away.
