At half past three in the afternoon, James arrived at the villa area. Before this, he had already visited
once but at that time, Young Master Lach was still leading the project. However, James’ mood was
different now that he was here.
This project was co-developed by the construction company, the Jackson Family, and several other
shareholders. In fact, the construction company accounted for a large part. In other words, James had a
large share in this project. Standing there, he was full of excitement as he never dreamed that he would
ever be able to manage such a big project.
Not long after, Liam also rushed over with most of the Cunningham Family in tow. The main reason many
Cunninghams tagged along was because they did not believe James would be able to win such a big
project.
Upon seeing Eric, James immediately approached him gleefully. “Dad, you’re here! Come take a look
around; what do you think of my project? This entire villa area belongs to me and I’m co-developing it
with the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. Soon, the villas will be on sale. Ha! By that time, don’t forget
to introduce some of your friends to me!”
Eric, however, was doubtful. “James, stop with the bullsh*t. I know you very well and I know
Cunningham Pharmaceuticals has made some money recently. Has the pride gone to your head with
that small amount of money? This is such a large villa area. It would be impossible for you to have
bought it, even if with the entire Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. So tell me, who exactly are you lying
to?”
The rest of the Cunninghams were also wearing similar expressions of disdain. Indeed, this villa area
was huge so no one believed James at all.
Immediately, James countered anxiously, “Didn’t I just say that I’m co-developing this project with the Ten
Greatest Families of Eastcliff? Besides, the project was previously stopped so we bought it at a low price.
Just because you couldn’t do it, doesn’t mean I can’t. You always said I was useless compared to Jason.
Now look who’s the useless one now?”
Jason curled his lips and drawled, “James, you don’t have to brag to this extent just to compete with me.
The Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff? Why didn’t you say you were working with Billy Newman? Ha! I
think that’s enough of your performance. Dad, let’s go home. We don’t have to stay here and embarrass
ourselves while he continues bragging.”
Nodding, Eric glanced at James in disdain.
At that moment, James grew anxious and he snapped, “You don’t believe me? Alright; I’ll show you!”
After that, James took out a portfolio and said loudly, “Take a look at this! This is the transfer contract for
this project that is now under our construction company and this is my share certificate for this company.
Take a look at it yourself!”
Upon seeing that, Eric and the others were taken aback. Jason was still doubtful but after he took the
portfolio and examined it carefully, he was instantly dumbfounded.
“Well?” Eric asked anxiously.
Reluctantly, Jason nodded. Meanwhile, Eric’s expression had also changed. He never thought that his
eldest son was capable of taking on such a big project.
Standing off to the side, Demi snickered. “Don’t have anything to say? Who’s embarrassing now, Uncle
Jason? Did you really think others won’t be able to do it just because you couldn’t? Did you really think
everyone is as incompetent as you?”
Upon hearing that, Jason berated, “What are you implying? Is this how you speak to your elders? James,
is this how you teach your daughter to respect your elders?”
