Everyone was stunned into silence. All of them were baffled of Basil's quick decision. He didn't even defend himself, nor did he show any indignation about it; he merely accepted it.
Nicholas was petty, however he wasn't stupid enough to ignore such quick a response from Basil. While he was thinking of what was Basil scheming, Irene and Shirley were worried that Basil had just made a haste decision out of his indignation.
"Very well. I will give you the money enough to afford an inn."
At last, Nicholas broke the silence. Basil didn't even give him a glance as he moved away from the dinner table. He was going to pack his things up.
"I do not need any money from you. I have been doing fine without your support for all of these years."
"This brat...!"
After a quick jab at Nicholas, Basil, with Deacon in tow, left the dining room. Nicholas was fuming. His face was red, however he tried his best to calm himself down.
