The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 625 A Ruthless Punishment Is Unforgettable

The two elders were startled and hastily shook their heads, seeking to distance themselves from those crimes,

“No, no, no. These matters have nothing to do with me. Besides, I just learned about how vicious Xander and Yael are today. The way Cedrick is handling this is correct. I support it!”

“Yes, I also support it. I can’t believe these two sc”mbags did so many awful things to our family. Cedrick did the right thing!”

Since Albert and Clarence had already voiced their support, the rest of the elders followed suit.

Nico graciously checked in on everyone in the ancestral hall, proceeding only after establishing that there were no voices of dissent there.

He glanced at Elven, who was guarding the entrance to the ancestral hall, before announcing to all the members of the family inside, “What Mr. Cedrick is saying is that since Yael had committed so many inhumane acts, he is to be first punished according to the family rules with twenty lashes. Then, Mr. Clarence and Mr. Albert will remove his and his son’s names from the Jenson family registry. We hereby

banish them.”

Two minutes later, two police officers brought Yael into the ancestral hall under Elven’s direction.

Everyone in the Jenson family was stunned when they saw Yael, having not seen him in a long time.

Even though Cedrick had someone change him into a clean suit, the weariness on his face and his half- white hair made the middle-aged man seem like he had aged a dozen years.

Yael had been the target of bullying from his cellmates for the past few days, leaving him with bruises all over his body that were covered by his suit.

He entered the ancestral hall escorted by the two police officers, the metal shackles on his hands and feet rattling at every step he took.

The entire ancestral hall was silent, everyone fixing their scrutinizing gazes on him.

He was surrounded by a range of piercing looks, from anticipatory to gleeful and smug.

Uneasy from being stared at so intensely, Yael bowed his head, concealing the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
