Chapter 291
Joseph fell silent. Although he was confident in her ability, he did not trust her.
After a while, he replied, “Let me think about it.” With that, he hung up the phone.
At Horington’s Harbor District, all workers of Land No.1 were working hard. More than seven excavators operated as the supervisor stood on the side and watched them.
Their surroundings were sparse, and they were the only ones working on the land.
Sipping a cup of coffee, the excavator operator wiped his sweat before getting back to work. However, he realized the excavator’s bucket was jammed with something in the soil.
The shovel did not budge even when he pressed the button again.
Thus, he yelled at the other workers, “Hey! I think something is stuck down there.”
When the workers gathered around, the supervisor pointed to some of them. “The few of you should go down to see what is stuck inside. I wonder if we had dug up a huge rock.”
The few workers immediately jumped into the pit. Using the shovels, they slowly started to dig.
Someone asked above the pit, “What is that?”
“It looks like some sort of rock. An enormous one.”
The two workers struggled to spade the mud apart. Initially, they thought it would only take a bit of time to dig it out. However, they had been endlessly digging for some time.
“What kind of rock is that? Why is it so big?”
“It looks like a bluestone to me.”
“That rock looks like one of high quality. It’s so big.”
“It’s hard for the excavator to dig if the rock isn’t moved.”
The workers standing above the pit discussed.
When the supervisor saw their progress, he ordered a few more workers into the pit. After five workers headed down, it took them a few minutes of digging to see the rock clearly.
The workers in the pit shouted, “There’s something inscribed on the rock!”
When the workers above them heard that, they felt bemused and gathered around to see the commotion.
The supervisor asked the excavator operator to dig up the surrounding soil. Not long after, something peeked out of it.
“It’s a headstone.” Someone gasped.
Stunned, the workers clustered together to see the situation inside the pit.
“I think there must be a lot of other headstones buried inside it…”
“It must be quite old!”
The workers exchanged glances before turning to look at their supervisor. “What should we do now?”
The supervisor was relatively experienced and had dug up all sorts of stuff before. However, it was the first time he had dug up headstones.
Taking out his phone, the supervisor made a phone call.
Twenty minutes later, that news was found out by James.
“What did you say?”
Tyrone repeated, “A headstone was dug up in Harbor District. The entire site can be a cemetery.”
James felt his world spinning around him. The entire project would be halted if the news got out. Stopping a day of work would mean losing a huge amount of money. I heard that it takes at least one to two years to finish extracting the entire cemetery. The Larson family can’t afford to wait for so long!
“Mr. Larson.” Tyrone frowned worriedly.
“Inform the others to watch over the site. Nobody can know about this.” James gritted his teeth.
Tyrone was hesitant. “Mr. Larson, we’re going to be in big trouble if someone finds out.”
Chapter 292
“Prepare some hush money for the workers and get rid of the headstones tonight. Be quick, okay? This matter should be kept secret.”
Naturally, Tyrone understood that the Larson Group would be put in a difficult situation if the news were to be leaked out.
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, Jessica’s phone buzzed in the lecture hall. She put it back down after looking at the message.
Things are starting to get exciting! I’m not surprised James chose to cover up the issue. However, he forgot that things could not be kept secret forever.
Jessica was not in a hurry to expose his secret.
As Jessica was slowly carrying out her plan, Julianna, on the other hand, was in a mess.
“Joseph, I spent a fortune to find someone willing to help. Yonah will be sentenced to death next year, but it is possible to change it to life imprisonment if we wait for a year. After that, his sentence can be gradually reduced. He will be out of prison soon after.”
“How long do we need to wait?” Joseph was not satisfied with her answer.
“I was told that it would take at least four to five years.”
“Four to five years?! Do you mean Joseph needs to remain in prison for another five years? Oh right, you must be unconcerned because he’s not your son.” Joseph was annoyed that Yonah had to wait for that long to be freed.
During the previous prison visit, Joseph noticed Yonah had bruises all over his body. He begged him to get him out of there. How could Joseph not be distressed seeing that?
Julianna suppressed her anger. “It’s already the shortest time possible.”
Doesn’t he know what crime Yonah committed? It’s so rare that I could find someone to get him out of prison in four to five years.
“The shortest time possible?” Joseph laughed coldly. “Someone told me she could get Yonah out of prison in a month. I think you’re not trying to help at all. You’re just playing for time.”
“That’s impossible. Who told you that? They’re lying to you.” Julianna had a bad feeling.
“You don’t need to know about that.” With that, he hung up the call.
Next, Joseph called Jessica.
She was in class when she received the call. When she saw it was from Joseph, she stood up and said, “Mr. Daniel, I’d like to go to the bathroom.”
Daniel waved his hands. “Go on.”
Jessica walked to an empty corridor and answered the call. “Mr. Joseph, have you made your choice?”
“Can you guarantee that Yonah will be out of jail in a month?” Joseph asked worriedly.
“Of course,” Jessica sneered.
There’s no way I’m going to do that. I’m just saying this to deceive him.
However, Jessica needed to play along.
“I don’t believe you.”
Jessica explained unhurriedly, “It’s actually quite simple. We only need to buy the stocks from the victims so that they will drop the court case. Meanwhile, you need to hire an excellent lawyer to appeal the court’s decision. With that, he’d be free.”
Joseph was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, “Well, do you have the money?”
If I had 15 million dollars, Yonah would have never gone to jail in the first place. At the end of the day, money is the biggest problem.
“Of course, I must have it since I promised you. If you are still worried, you can ask Yonah if I have the money.”
Joseph was convinced by her proposal and decided to give it a try.
She must be quite well-off to be willing to spend 15 million dollars on the secret!
“Okay. After you buy their stocks, I’ll reveal the secret and your birth story.”
Chapter 293
“All right.” Jessica hung up the phone.
After getting all the victims’ information, Jessica asked them to meet her at Victory Restaurant.
That day, Jessica booked the entire Victory Restaurant The victims started to file in, confused, after being notified.
“You got the notice too?”
“Yes. Did all of you get notified?
“I think all of us did.”
“Do you think the person on the phone really meant it?”
“I don’t know.”
“A lot of people didn’t show up.”
“I didn’t plan to come at first, but I wanted to try my luck. If it’s true, I could get back my money.
Many of them who came had the same hope.
The group of victims chatted amongst themselves. However, the person on the phone did not show up for some time.
“Did we get fooled? Why isn’t the person showing up?”
“I had a feeling it was too good to be true.”
Just when the group was planning to leave, the restaurant’s door was pushed open. Remaining indifferent to their stares, Jessica walked toward them.
“Sit down, everyone. I’m the person who called you. The reason I called all of you here is to buy your stocks.” Jessica cut to the chase.
“Do you really want to buy our stocks?”
“Yes.” Jessica nodded.
Some of the people were alarmed when they heard that.
Why would she want to buy our useless stocks?
“What’s your purpose in doing that?”
Jessica pulled out a document. “If you can sign your name on this document, I’ll buy the stocks off your hands.”
Everyone understood her intention after reading through it.
“You want to save Yonah.”
Jessica nodded. “Back then, I’m sure it must have been a mutual agreement for Yonah to invest in you since you gave him your money. Whether he intended to scam you, I’m sure you have an answer. Now, I will return your money in exchange for you agreeing to release him out of jail. It’s a pretty fair deal.”
Some people agreed with her words. After all, nothing would benefit them if Yonah was jailed. It was money that mattered the most.
However, there were still some greedy ones.
“I disagree. I’m fine if you want to buy it, but you need to pay 10% more than the original amount. If not, I refuse to sign it,” a middle-aged man argued.
Adding on 10 percent meant Jessica would need to pay 1.5 million dollars more on top of the 15 million dollars. If that happened, more and more people would follow his idea and raise their prices. By then, 15 million dollars worth of useless stocks would be sold for an exorbitant price!
The crowd could not help but clap their hands at his brilliant idea.
Jessica did not get angry and scanned through their faces. “Is everyone making the same decision as him?”
Nobody answered her and the atmosphere turned awkward.
The man who spoke up smiled. “Our money had been held up for such a long time, so it’s normal for us to ask for a bit of interest, right? You should be sincerer if you want us to sign this. How could you expect us to sell it at the original price?”
Jessica stood up. “If that’s the case, you can keep your stocks.”
I can’t believe they’re asking for more. Take it or leave it!
Jessica turned to leave.
The investors were stunned. They did not expect her to leave.
Doing business was all about bargaining, anyway. How could she leave just like that?
Chapter 294
“Don’t you want to set Yonah free?” the man that caused trouble asked anxiously.
His original intention was only to get more money. He did not really want to keep those worthless stocks.
Jessica stopped to look at him. “I’m fine with anything. I’m prepared to spend 15 million dollars on releasing him from jail. However, I’m unwilling to spend one dollar more than that. You can sell it to me at the original price, or you can keep it. Who knows, perhaps one day it might go up in value. If any of you change your mind, you can give me a call. By the way, I’d like to remind you that I only need 70 percent of you to set Yonah free. As for the remaining 30 percent of stocks, I won’t buy them. To those who are unwilling to sell it, you can keep it as a souvenir.” After saying that, Jessica left without turning back.
Jessica was brimming with confidence. She was not worried if she could not get 70 percent of the stocks at all. After all, the investors would get anxious hearing she would not buy the remaining 30 percent.
Meanwhile, the investors were divided on that issue.
“Don’t fall for her trap, everyone. She’s saying it on purpose,” the middle-aged man from before said.
The others nodded in agreement. However, they
immediately pulled out their phones to call Jessica right after leaving. When some of them saw her line being busy, they started panicking.
In just an afternoon, Jessica had successfully bought up 60 percent of stocks. Some who did not show up also contacted her after knowing about it.
Jessica had gotten everyone’s agreement that night.
A total of 15 million dollars were exchanged for the agreement papers.
The next day, Jessica called Joseph.
“I have gotten all the settlement agreements. Let’s schedule a time to meet.”
Joseph was stunned. He could not believe she managed to settle it in a day.
“Really?”
“You’ll know once you see it in person.”
“I’m currently not in town. Let’s meet at Victory Restaurant tomorrow at three o’clock in the afternoon.”
“Okay.”
Just when Joseph hung up the phone, he immediately received Julianna’s call.
“Joseph, I have settled everything for you. Let’s meet with an officer tomorrow. I spent another 750 thousand dollars just to set Yonah free, you know.”
Joseph laughed coldly. “I don’t need it. There’s someone who could help me save Yonah. You can give me the money instead.”
“Who?” questioned Julianna.
It was the second time he brought up this person. Is there really someone who could release Yonah from jail so quickly? No way!
“You don’t need to know about that.”
“Joseph, don’t be fooled. There’s no way it could be done so easily.” After all, it took Julianna a tremendous amount of effort to find a way. How could the person handle it so effortlessly?
“Hmph! You’ll know after a month if she is a scammer. Anyway, I don’t have the time to chat with you. Yonah is no longer your responsibility. You can just transfer the money to me, or you’ll suffer the consequences.” After that, Joseph hung up the phone.
Julianna was livid.
She just wanted him to know she had spent quite an amount for Yonah’s sake, but she didn’t spend as much as she wanted him to believe.
Chapter 295
Joseph previously asked for 300,000 dollars, and Julianna paid him that amount with her savings.
This time, he asked for another 750,000 dollars again. She no longer had any money to pay him.
Although she was the wife of the Larson Group’s Chairman, she had little cash, as she had spent most of it on clothes and jewelry.
Since Joseph became greedier, Julianna felt that she should silence him as soon as possible. Or else she wouldn’t have a peaceful life, as he would always be threatening her.
This evil man should be killed!
Julianna took out her phone and made a call. George Evans answered it soon thereafter.
“Honey, do you miss me? Where are you now?” George said gently. Although he found her annoying, he treated her nicely for the sake of money.
Julianna said in a serious tone, “Joseph found out about our relationship and threatened me. What should I do now? Should we break up?”
George immediately pushed the sexy girl in his arms away. His expression turned stern. “Don’t worry. I’m here for you. I will ask someone to teach him a lesson.”
Damn it! How dare he end my source of income!
Julianna had been George’s sugar mommy for the past few years.
He had been receiving a monthly allowance from her and living a luxurious lifestyle.
“You shouldn’t do that. He will get agitated if you do so. I will get into trouble if he tells my husband about our relationship. I believe the best way is to end our
relationship. We should stop contacting each other from now on. Even if we meet in the future, we should treat each other like strangers,” Julianna whimpered.
George quickly consoled her, “Honey, are you really going to leave me? We have been dating for years. How can you end our relationship so easily? You have been part of my life. I can’t bear to leave you. Don’t worry, I will settle Joseph! Since he is so nosy, I will make him shut up forever.”
He spoke in a stern voice.
Julianna replied in a panic tone, “What do you intend to do? Please don’t do something stupid! He is my brother, and I won’t allow you to go overboard! Do you understand?”
George said smilingly, “Honey, what are you thinking? I won’t do anything illegal. I will merely ask someone to warn him. Don’t worry, okay?”
Although he said that, he had the idea of killing Joseph on his mind.
Julianna smiled happily after hanging up the phone. There was no sign of her caring or worrying about Joseph.
Joseph, you should blame yourself for this!
Jessica got out of the car and entered Victory Restaurant. She picked a window seat and waited for Joseph.
Her phone vibrated, and she received a message from him: I’m here. Have you arrived?
Jessica put her phone down after reading the text. She then looked through the window and saw Joseph getting out of a taxi on the opposite street. When he was crossing the road, a truck seemed to have lost control and drove toward him.
Upon seeing that, Jessica stood up and waved her hand at Joseph.
However, he couldn’t understand what she meant and continued crossing the road.
He only realized when the truck was close to him. He was terrified, and his mind went blank. At that moment, he froze on the spot while staring at the truck in horror.
Crash!
Joseph was struck and landed three meters away. His. body was covered in blood.
Chapter 296
All the pedestrians stopped walking and looked at the middle of the road.
Jessica rushed out of the restaurant and ran toward Joseph.
“I called the ambulance, so just hang on!”
Joseph stared at her as if he wanted to tell her something. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he started vomiting blood.
“What are you trying to say? Is it about Yonah?”
Joseph blinked his eyes in response.
“The settlement agreement is real.”
Right after she finished that sentence, she noticed that Joseph started losing consciousness.
“You can’t die now! Your son is waiting for you! If you die now, I’m going to destroy the settlement agreement,” Jessica threatened him.
Joseph immediately widened his eyes. He then pointed to the sky with his trembling finger.
“What do you want to tell me?”
Joseph could only make some unclear sounds as his throat was filled with blood.
His hand suddenly dropped to the ground, and he stared at the sky.
“I think he’s dying.”
“He landed on his head. I don’t think he’d be able to survive since he is bleeding heavily. Look at him! Do you think he is dead?”
“Don’t say that! Maybe he’s just unconscious!”
“That truck driver smells like alcohol! Drunk driving is such a terrible offense!”
“I agree with you!”
“Is that girl his daughter? She might suffer from long-term emotional trauma after watching her father die in front of her.”
The crowd was chattering away when Jessica checked on Joseph’s pulse. His heartbeat had stopped.
The ambulance and police arrived about 15 minutes later.
The police arrested the truck driver, and a few nurses tried to get Joseph into the ambulance.
One of the nurses looked at Jessica and said, “Are you his family? Come with us.”
“I’m not.”
She turned around after saying that.
When the nurse tried to call her back, she had already disappeared from the crowd.
Meanwhile, at the Larson residence, Julianna received a text from George. She immediately deleted the message after reading it.
Whitney walked toward Julianna and said smilingly, “Mom, you have any good news? You seem happy today.”
“I feel happy as you are graduating soon! Have you decided which university you want to go to?”
“I will decide when I find out whether Yves will be going overseas for further study or not.”
Just then, Jessica and James walked toward them.
When Whitney saw Jessica, she asked smilingly, “Jess, do you plan to go overseas for further study or apply to local universities?”
She wanted Jessica to decide first so she had a chance to split Jessica and Yves apart.
“I will attend a local university,” Jessica replied. She then turned to Julianna and said, “When I was on my way home, I saw a man struck by a truck. He looked like Joseph.”
Whitney was shocked upon hearing that.
James showed no reaction at all.
Julianna said smilingly, “Joseph is fine. I believe you recognized the wrong person.”
Jessica’s heart sank upon seeing Julianna’s cheerful expression.
It’s her! She asked someone to kill Joseph! How could she be so cruel?! How can she kill her own brother! The secret must be earth-shattering since she is doing everything she can to hide it. I will definitely find out about her secret!
Jessica glanced at Whitney and Julianna. She wondered what kind of secret could cause Julianna to lose her position as Mrs. Larson.
Chapter 297
If I’m not the daughter of the Larson family, is Whitney their daughter? Or if both of us are not their daughter, where is the real daughter of the Larson family? Is there a possibility that the Larson family does not have a daughter? If they don’t have a daughter…
Jessica had various speculations in her mind.
When Jessica was thinking about that, James said smilingly, “Both of you will be attending local universities. Jess, can you get into any colleges in Dellmoor?”
“I will try my best.”
James had confidence in her even though she didn’t sound hopeful.
Julianna said, “Dellmoor is too far. I think there are a few good colleges in Marsingfill. Why should we send her to Dellmoor? I haven’t spent enough time with Jessica.”
James glanced at Julianna. <She is becoming dumber. Although she wasn’t smart in the first place, she wasn’t this stupid!>
“Go to Dellmoor!”
Even if Jessica couldn’t get into any colleges in Dellmoor, James would find a way to get her a place.
The Young and Ferguson family were in Dellmoor. The Larson Group would benefit if Jessica joined the social circle in Dellmoor.
Jessica replied Julianna gleefully, “I think Dellmoor is a nice city.”
Ding!
James’ phone rang. He picked it up and said, “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Larson, something happened! Someone leaked out the information. The reporters, archaeologists, and police are here at the construction site.”
James dropped his phone to the ground upon hearing that.
The three of them in the living room turned to him immediately.
“What’s wrong, Honey?” Julianna asked.
James picked up his phone and wanted to leave.
However, Willow led two police officers to the living room and said, “Mr. Larson, the police are looking for you.”
Julianna’s heart skipped a beat. Did George ruin the plan and expose me?
James remained calm when he greeted the police. “Please have a seat. Willow, please get us some tea.”
The two police officers raised their hands to stop Willow.
“No need. Mr. Larson, we have received reports that you are involved in destroying relics and excavating a headstone. Please come with us for an investigation.”
James seemed confused. “Headstone? What kind of headstone? Did you make a mistake? I’m a businessman, not a robber. Why would I do that? You shouldn’t believe those people!”
One of the officers took his phone out and showed him some photos.
“Mr. Larson, I think you should be familiar with this place, right? This is Land No. 1 in Harbor District, which you are developing. Someone is excavating a headstone. If you want to explain, please do it when you arrive at the police station.”
The police walked toward him and took out a handcuff.
“Mr. Larson, if you cooperate with us, I don’t think we’ll need to use this. However, if you choose to resist, I have to use them.”
James left the Larson residence together with the police.
The Larson family watched him as they drove off.
Julianna was at a loss. “What happened? Quickly call Tyrone! Ask him to look for a lawyer now!”
On the same day after the police arrested Mr. Larson, the news regarding the Larson Group excavating headstones and relics was spread all over the internet.
Some reporters even stated that James knew that there was an underground headstone at that site, and that was why he spent 55 million dollars to purchase that land.
That land is worth more than 55 million dollars!
News of the incident was plastered all over the internet.
It didn’t matter whether the news was real or fake – it was obvious that the Larson Group would face a lawsuit. They also had to pay a sizeable amount of compensation.
Chapter 298
Meanwhile, at Fairview Investment headquarters in Marsingfill, Hugh handed Jake some approved documents.
“Who prepared these two proposals? Ask them to redo it! Fire them if they submit the same thing again in the future!” Hugh showed Jake two documents while saying that.
“Noted,” Jake replied.
“Mr. Hugh, the Larson Group is in trouble.”
Hugh turned away from his laptop and looked at Jake.
Jake knew Hugh was still paying attention to the Larson Group.
Since the Larson Group is in trouble, Mr. Hugh will be able to gain Jessica’s trust if he saves the company now.
“There is a huge headstone under the land in Harbor District from the Roman Empire, which the Larson Group bought. We are not sure the reason why the Larson Group didn’t inform the local authority upon discovering it. Mr. Larson has been arrested, and the land is currently guarded by the police.”
Previously, people could tell that the Larson Group didn’t have strong financial standing. After that incident happened, coupled with their project being put on hold, the Larson Group was on a downward spiral.
Hugh tapped on his desk while recalling what Jessica told him previously.
Did she find out that there was an underground headstone? Impossible! The Larson Group might have found out about the underground headstone long ago and has been excavating it. This seems interesting!
Jake said, “Mr. Hugh, I think it is going to be easy for us to approach Ms. Jessica now.”
Hugh shook his head. “She isn’t as simple as you think.”
Many people were wondering whether the Larson Group could settle the matter or not, and a lot of them were also guessing whether the Young and the Ferguson family would assist the Larson family.
“Jess, do you want to inform Uncle Charles and let him help you?” Samantha called Jessica.
“No, please don’t do that! It’s the Larson Group’s fault, so they should bear the consequences.” Jessica rejected her proposal.
“If that is the case, your family business…”
“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.” Jessica paused for a second before she added, “By the way, do you know where your uncle is?”
Samantha said smilingly, “Why do you suddenly care about Uncle Charles? Are you interested in him?”
Jessica was speechless upon hearing that. “Stop joking! I’m serious!”
“I guess you will be disappointed if you would like to meet him now. He is in Granatano as his company seems to be in trouble. He is working hard to solve it at the moment. I guess he will only come home half a month later.”
Jessica was satisfied to hear that reply.
She was worried that the Larson family would ask her to request help from the Youngs because of her connections.
She didn’t want to do that.
As she expected, the Larson family had tried to look for Charles, but they failed to do so. Hence, they looked for Jessica instead.
In the living room, Tyrone asked desperately, “Ms. Jessica, can you please ask Mr. Young to help us negotiate this matter?”
“When the incident happened, I immediately called him. However…” Jessica paused as she wiped the tear off her face. She then continued, “When nothing happens, he is a caring person. However, when something happens, he… I have never expected him to be like that! I’m so disappointed in him!”
Tyrone stared at Jessica and then turned to Charles, who suddenly appeared behind her.
Jessica sobbed for a while before she noticed Tyrone’s expression had changed. She then turned around and saw a handsome man staring at her with a half-smile.
Damn it!
Jessica immediately stopped crying.
Chapter 299
Samantha, you are such a liar! You told me half an hour ago that your uncle has been busy with work in Granatano and won’t come home anytime soon, so why is he standing in front of me now?!
Jessica stared at Charles with an awkward smile. “Mr. Young, are you here to mock us?”
Charles! Please don’t ruin my act!
Charles walked toward them and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He then stared at Jessica.
Julianna gave Jessica a death stare. “Jess, how could you say that? I believe Mr. Young is here to help us. Mr. Young, am I right?”
Charles glanced at Julianna and said, “Yes, I’m here to buy out the Larson Group.”
Jessica felt relieved upon hearing that.
Julianna was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean?”
“Seems like you have poor comprehension skills, Mrs. Larson.” Charles chuckled.
Zachary felt angry upon hearing that. “Our family hasn’t gone bankrupt, but you have already started planning to buy out our business?! Who do you think you are?”
Charles gave him a cold-eye stare and ignored him.
He couldn’t be bothered to talk to that idiot.
“The Larson Group will be wound up and restructured within half a year. If you are smart, you should sell the Larson Group to me now. It will be worth nothing when it is wound up,” Charles said coldly.
The Larson family members’ expressions darkened upon hearing that, especially Julianna.
Zachary stood up and pointed at the door. “Get out now! Get out of our house!”
Jessica stood up and pulled Charles’ suit roughly. Two of his collar buttons fell off.
Upon seeing that, she stared at Charles and shouted, “Get up! Get out of my house now!”
Charles stood up and pretended to be dragged by her to the door.
When they arrived at the door, Jessica turned around to check whether there was anyone behind them. Upon seeing that there was no one behind them, she let him off.
“I’m very sorry, Charles. I will compensate you for your shirt,” Jessica apologized awkwardly.
“Okay,” Charles replied.
Jessica was stunned for a moment as she couldn’t believe what she heard.
Shouldn’t he say that I don’t have to compensate him?
Charles saw Jessica’s expression change. He then poked her forehead and added, “Jess, don’t forget about my shirt, okay?”
Jessica nodded while thinking about transferring him money after he left.
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Charles asked.
Right after he arrived in town, he heard about the news regarding the Larson Group. He was initially worried that Jessica would be afraid. However, he came and found out that she had been calling him a scumbag.
“No need, Jessica replied in a serious tone.
Charles could tell that she meant what she said. He stared at her bright eyes and replied, “All right.”
Jess is getting more interesting nowadays! I can’t see through her!
“You should leave now! You shouldn’t help the Larson family no matter what happens.
If it is possible, you should cause more trouble for the Larson family!
Even though Jessica didn’t mention the last sentence,
Charles could tell that was what she was thinking.
Chapter 300
Jessica watched Charles as he left the Larson residence.
Meanwhile, in the Rolls-Royce, Ash said, “Mr. Young, they are asking what to do next.”
“Tell them to act according to the law.” He paused for a while before adding, “Excavating and destroying cultural relics without permission are offenses that should be severely punished.”
Ash was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t understand why Charles had changed his mind all of a sudden.
Charles was worried about the Larson family earlier. However, after visiting them, he changed his mind and wanted to ruin them instead.
Although Ash was shocked, he followed Charles’ instructions and quickly sent out the message to the person in charge of that matter.
Everyone in the Larson family was in a grim mood.
Upon seeing Jessica, Zachary mocked her, “And who was boasting about how capable they were, and they had so many connections? How come she has no connections now?”
Jessica stared at him and said smilingly, “If an idiot didn’t bid on that piece of land for 55 million dollars, this wouldn’t have happened. The Larson family has raised you for over twenty years, and this is how you repay them?!”
Tyrone wanted to stop them from arguing but failed to do so.
He then turned to Julianna and said, “Mrs. Larson, I need to meet Mr. Larson now.”
“All right, thank you.”
The fight between Jessica and Zachary worsened after Tyrone left the Larson residence.
“Those who don’t share the Larson’s blood are idiots! One is more stupid than the other,” Jessica said while glancing at Zachary and Whitney.
Zachary got mad after being called the adopted son. He then shouted, “Who says I don’t share the Larson’s blood? Listen carefully! Dad is my biological father!”
Julianna was stunned, but she wasn’t surprised to hear that.
However, Whitney and their maids were shocked upon hearing that.
“What did you say?” Jessica seemed to be doubting him.
Zachary lifted his chin and glanced around at everyone. “I’m not an adopted child. Dad is my biological father.”
He wanted to tell everyone about it since long ago. However, James stopped him from doing so.
Since he had the chance to say it, he no longer wanted to hide the secret.
Jessica chuckled. “You are lying, right?”
Zachary sneered, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Dad.”
“I remember Mom only got pregnant once. How could she have another son?” Jessica said coldly. “Even if you share the Larson’s blood, you are an illegitimate child! You have been lying to Mom!”
James had an illegitimate child four years older than his daughter. That meant he had an extramarital affair long ago and that he had a child with his mistress.
Moreover, that illegitimate child was brought back to the Larson residence and lived together with Julianna.
The fact seemed to hurt Julianna the most, as she was James’ wife.
All the maids looked at Julianna. Some of them pitied her, while others gloated over her situation.
The news about Zachary being James’ illegitimate child was spread among the social circle in less than a day.
“Although the Larson family hasn’t gone bankrupt, their children have started fighting,” one of the company directors teased.
