Chapter 247
A group of men came over and wanted to grab them without waiting for an explanation. Panic-stricken,
James cried, “Everyone, what I said is true! We have nothing to do with Matthew at all.”
A group of men came over and wanted to grab them without waiting for an explanation. Panic-stricken,
James cried, “Everyone, what I said is true! We have nothing to do with Matthew at all.”
“This jinx really got us into deep trouble,” Helen said furiously. “He committed a crime, fled to escape
punishment and left us here to be his scapegoats. I’ve never seen such a despicable person!”
Through gritted teeth, Demi berated, “Sasha, is this the husband whom you trust? Do you consider his
actions as humane? We’ve told you so many times not to rely on a person like him, but you refused to
listen! Great, now we all have to pay for it. You must be happy now!”
With a solemn face and tightened jaw, Sasha said, “You can save your sarcasms! Mr. Jackson,
Matthew is my husband and his problems are mine as well! If there’s a trial, then I alone will stand trial Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
on his behalf. This has nothing to do with my family! Let them go and I’ll step forward!”
Harvey sniggered. “I’ve told you this before, Sasha; the lives of the Jacksons are very valuable, but
yours alone is not enough to pay for it! Your whole family has to pay this time! Stop these small talk and
bring all of them here! If they refuse to come forward, then break their legs and drag them here!”
The men floshed out their weopons oggressively ond seemed like they were reody to ottock them
stroight owoy. Terrified, Jomes ond Helen pleoded shokily, “Pleose don’t hit us. This hos nothing to do
with us.”
Sosho tightened her jow ond ploced herself in front of her porents. “Mr. Jockson, o life for o life. If you
could prove thot we killed your nephew, then I’ll poy with my life. Whot hos this got to do with my
fomily? The Jocksons hove to be reosonoble!”
Immediotely, he loughed ond sneered, “Reosonoble? You wont me to be reosonoble? A life for o life?
Con your cheop lives be compored to my nephew’s? It’s the some os comporing you to o beggor on
the streets. Is your life the some os o beggor? If I compore your life to o dog, ore they of the some
volue?”
Upon heoring thot, the whole room burst into loughter ond Sosho’s foce turned pole. The Jocksons
were such tyronts!
Just then, o chilling voice come from the door, soying, “Mr. Jockson, your life is worth less thon o dog in
my eyes!”
Everyone spun their heods oround only to see Motthew pocing in slowly ond they broke into on uproor.
The sight of him sporked Horvey’s onger os he yelled, “You sure hove some guts, Lorson! How dore
you insult me ot my home! This is os good os insulting my whole fomily! Men, slop him!” He wos
olreody holding o grudge ogoinst Motthew ofter getting beoten up by him eorlier, ond he wonted to use
this opportunity to deliver the first hord blow on him directly.
The men flashed out their weapons aggressively and seemed like they were ready to attack them
straight away. Terrified, James and Helen pleaded shakily, “Please don’t hit us. This has nothing to do
with us.”
Sasha tightened her jaw and placed herself in front of her parents. “Mr. Jackson, a life for a life. If you
could prove that we killed your nephew, then I’ll pay with my life. What has this got to do with my
family? The Jacksons have to be reasonable!”
Immediately, he laughed and sneered, “Reasonable? You want me to be reasonable? A life for a life?
Can your cheap lives be compared to my nephew’s? It’s the same as comparing you to a beggar on
the streets. Is your life the same as a beggar? If I compare your life to a dog, are they of the same
value?”
Upon hearing that, the whole room burst into laughter and Sasha’s face turned pale. The Jacksons
were such tyrants!
Just then, a chilling voice came from the door, saying, “Mr. Jackson, your life is worth less than a dog in
my eyes!”
Everyone spun their heads around only to see Matthew pacing in slowly and they broke into an uproar.
The sight of him sparked Harvey’s anger as he yelled, “You sure have some guts, Larson! How dare
you insult me at my home! This is as good as insulting my whole family! Men, slap him!” He was
already holding a grudge against Matthew after getting beaten up by him earlier, and he wanted to use
this opportunity to deliver the first hard blow on him directly.
A dozen men from the Jacksons rushed over aggressively and surrounded him.
Matthew snickered, “What now? You’re already starting a fight without even a trial? Is this how
unreasonable the Jacksons are?”
“I’m beating you up because you insulted us!” Harvey shouted. “As for the trial, that will come later!”
In a cold voice, Matthew argued, “So are you going to slap me because I insulted your family? Then
should I slap you for insulting my wife earlier?”
Caught dumbfounded, Harvey retorted, “This is the Jackson’s Residence.”
“So what if it is?” he asked indifferently. “So are you saying that you’re above everyone else in your
own home? Based on your logic, is everyone here tonight also a level below your family? The heads of
the Ten Greatest Families are all here and you’re using your family’s rules to suppress people instead
of speaking sense and justice. Do you really think that the Ten Greatest Families are just as
unreasonable?”
