Chapter 768


    The crowd was led by the vige chief, and each and every one of them looked aggrieved and infuriate


    d.


    Some were clenching their fists, while others brought their hammers and shovels. Instead of attending


    a funeral, they seemed to be here for a fight.


    Even the vige chief who had always been an easy going person looked furious. He stared angrily at


    him, sending off a very fearful message.


    Henrick‘s noticed the oddity and anxiously asked, “Err… what is going on?”


    “Holding you ountable,” the vige chief replied. Albeit spoken softly, his tone was extremely determ


    ined and to a certain extent, aggressive.

    Henrick frowned and asked again, “What


    do you mean? I don‘t know when I have offended you, but surely thismotion is unwarranted! When


    my mom was still around, she never took advantage of you! Is


    this how you treat her son now that she is gone?”


    “Hmph!” the vige chief let out a huge grunt. “Indeed, your mother did not take advantage of me. But


    remember, I was the person who paid her share of the repair costs for the church. Your mother refused


    to contribute!”


    “So this is what all of it is about…” Henrick nodded. “You should have told me earlier! It‘s a good


    deed to contribute to the repair of the church. How much did you pay on behalf of my mom? I‘ll pay you


    back.”


    “Do you really think that I‘m the only one asking for money?” replied the vige chief.


    Then, he turned and looked towards Nigel.


    Nigel stepped forward and said, “Henrick, I heard that you spent fifteen thousand on flowers for this


    funeral. However, when I asked for my sry for this month yesterday, you refused me! Josee is bed–


    ridden for such a


    long time and I cannot afford to take her to seek treatment! Henrick, how can you be so heartless? Wh


    en are you going to pay up?”


    The veins on Henrick‘s forehead popped out visibly


    He wanted to assure them that he would pay them after the funeral. However, the moment he looked


    up and saw the crowd, he became speechless.


    Mrs. Southall owed them a substantial amount of sry. She only paid them once in a while, but even s


    o, it was only a month‘s worth of sry, just enough to keep the vigers alive.


    If he were to pay them immediately, that would involve an extremely huge sum!


    Henrick was indeed a very stingy and cunning person. He could spend millions building his own house,


    but would not pay his workers, who he saw as imbeciles.


    Henrick hesitated, beforembasting them, “Who started this rumor? My cash flow is extremely tight! Ho


    Henrick raised his voice to the crowd. “I‘m pretty sure all of you know what kind of person I am! The situ


    Nigel was an innocent person. Swayed by Henrick‘s speech, he gulped and asked, “Are you telling the t


    to build a mansion worth millions, nor did you spend so much on flowers?”


    Henrick nodded profusely. “Of


    course! What luxurious mansion are you talking about? Nonsense! I‘m not sure where you hear this


    from, but don‘t believe it! We are a family, and I will not hang you up to dry!”


    Nigel‘s felt a deep sense of penitence.


    “I’m really, really sorry…”


    However, before Nigel could finish his sentence…
