Chapter 857 Lesson Learned

Joseph’s face was stormy as he shot James a deadly glare. “James, I’ve made myself clear that if you want to apologize, you’ll have to do it on your knees and bow to my granddaughter.”

Bristling, James retorted coldly, “That seems a little over-the-top, Mr. Harrison. My family may never match up to yours, but that doesn’t mean you can trample on our dignity!”

Upon hearing her husband speak up, Helen chimed in defensively as well, “That’s right! I know my nephew is to blame for whatever happened this time, but certainly, there’s no need for you to blow things out of proportion like this! What are you trying to accomplish with all these men you’ve brought to our doorstep, Joseph? Do you plan on wiping us out? Have you forgotten about the rule of law?”

Joseph chuckled insidiously. “Indeed, the rule of law exists to regulate man’s behavior, but maybe you should ask your nephew if he’d like to settle this personally before we call the police.”

Helen’s blood boiled at the old man’s threat. “Go ahead and call the police on us, Joseph!” she taunted angrily. “You’re the one breaking and entering into a private residence with this large group of thugs, which seems far worse than our incident if you ask me! So my nephew told a couple of lies, but he might only be charged for defamation in the worst-case scenario. You, on the other hand…”

She trailed off with implication, and without missing a beat, Joseph countered, “Fine, then. Crystal, get the police and tell them that we’ve caught a man who was trying to abduct women. In fact, I have a reasonable suspicion that all those missing women cases in Eastcliff may have something to do with him!”
