Chapter 247


    A group of men came over and wanted to grab them without waiting for an exnation. 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. “Hemitted 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


    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


    The men shed 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 ced 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, heughed and sneered, “Reasonable? You want me to be reasonable? A life for a life?


    Can your cheap lives bepared to my nephew’s? It’s the same asparing you to a beggar on


    the streets. Is your life the same as a beggar? If Ipare your life to a dog, are they of the same


    value?”


    Upon hearing that, the whole room burst intoughter 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, p 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 willeter!”


    In a cold voice, Matthew argued, “So are you going to p me because I insulted your family? Then


    should I p 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?”
