James chuckled coldly, not wanting to back down. “Jason, your children have never respected their
elders too. Besides, my daughter is right! Just because you’re incompetent, doesn’t mean everyone else
is!”
Jason was enraged but there was nothing he could do; James had in fact took on this project.
At this moment, his son, Charlie, suddenly leaned over and drawled, “Uncle, did you really win this
project? I heard it was Matthew who got it. Are you all depending on that worthless kept man now?
Upon hearing this, Jason guffawed. “Oh, James! And here I thought you were so capable. Turns out that
the kept man is better than you! Tsk, we really can’t compare at this point. My daughter would never do a
thing like keeping a boy toy!”
Upon hearing this, James was flustered and he was about to blow a gasket. “Nonsense! Matthew had
nothing to do with this project; I did everything on my own! You give him too much credit! Did you really
think that worthless loser could manage to get this project?” James berated.
Demi added in a cold voice, “Uncle Jason, don’t compare us to that trash. If that loser hadn’t been
pestering my sister, our family would surely have become better. This project was almost messed up by
that loser. If my father hadn’t personally managed this himself, there wouldn’t be such an opportunity.
The lot of you only listen to rumors. Did you really think that loser was so capable? Don’t forget that
Matthew and the Jackson Family are enemies so why would they work with him? Charlie, can you think
before you speak?”
Charlie furrowed his eyebrows as he only made a relatively offhand comment. Deep down, he did not
think Matthew was that capable anyway.
At that moment, several cars sped over and quickly pulled up in front of the crowd. All at once, a group of
people came down from the car and the person leading the group was none other than Alaric Jackson.
Upon seeing Alaric, James immediately greeted him with a smile. “Mr. Jackson, did you come to inspect
the site? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything as long as I’m here!”
Instantly, Eric and the others’ expressions changed. Currently, Alaric was the key person responsible for
many affairs of the Jackson Family. Eric and the others had met Alaric and knew his status in the
Jackson Family. His appearance at this moment clearly indicated that this project was indeed co-
developed by James and the Jackson Family!
Eric and the others reluctantly watched James, not understanding how James could have such good
luck.
Meanwhile, Alaric had a cold expression as he glanced at James before he said in a low voice,
“President Cunningham, I’m not here to inspect the site today. I’m here to tell you that from now on, the
Jackson Family is withdrawing from this project! As for all of our investments and the money from the
previous construction company, I want you to return them to us within three days.”
Bewildered, James stared blankly at Alaric. “Mr. Jackson, w-what are you talking about? This project will
make a lot of money, w-why are you withdrawing all of a sudden? What happened?”
Coldly, Alaric commented, “We were cooperating with Mr. Matthew Larson in this project. Now that Mr.
Larson is no longer in the construction company, there is no need for cooperation anymore!”
Upon hearing this, Eric and the others instantly burst out laughing.
