Chapter 202
As Jackson dragged Mateo to the door, Chris said flatly, "Don't forget to turn yourself in. You'll give them a full account of your transgressions."
Hearing this, Jackson went cold as if he had taken an ice bath!
But he dared not defy at all, so he nodded hastily, "Okay!"
Jackson then trudged Mateo away.
What awaited them would be the full wrath of the law!
After Jackson and Mateo left, James remained on his knees and didn't dare to get up.
His face was pale, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
Chris was drinking his tea slowly without saying a word.
Ten minutes later, James's legs went numb and his whole body trembled slightly. He was having a hard time holding on.
Seeing James in that state, Esther couldn't help saying, "Honey!"
At Esther's words, Chris put down his teacup, gave James a faint look, and said, "James, you failed to discipline your nephew, so even if you don't have to die, you do have to pay the price!"
"Thank you, Mr. Shelby!"
James said with a sigh of relief and a look of gratitude when he heard that.
Chris continued, "Conduct an inventory of all assets of Mester Real Estate Company. Give all assets to the victims of Mateo's evil. And if there is anything left over, donate it to Jeffersbourg to improve the living conditions of the villagers of Jeffersbourg."
"Got it. I'll do it."
James nodded and said quickly.
"And... Put your entire business under Chester Group!"
Chris took a look at James and then said coldly.
When James heard this, his face turned extremely pale.
If he consolidated all his businesses into Chester Group, wouldn't he have nothing?
But James dared not defy any of this.
It was better to have nothing than to die, right?
If he was dead, what was the point of all the money?
James looked frustrated and said, "Okay!"
In an instant, he looked ten years older.
Esther felt sorry for him and said, "Honey, I don't think it's a good idea…"
These were all James' businesses, after all. She didn't think it was nice to let him merge it with Chester Group.
Mateo made a mistake, but James had nothing to do with it.
Mateo was just James's nephew.
Just because Mateo made a mistake didn't mean James should be implicated, did it?
Chris looked at Esther and couldn't help thinking that his wife was way too kind.
If Mateo had not relied on James's influence, would he have become the richest man in the county in a short time?
Would Mateo have been able to run amok if he hadn't used James' influence?
This might seem to have nothing to do with James, but it was all about James!
James seemed to know this, too. He forced a smile and said, "Miss Jefferson, you don't have to do this for me, because I brought this on myself. Mr. Shelby has been magnanimous in sparing me the death penalty."
"But…"
Esther didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chris stripped James of all his assets, and James had to thank Chris. Had the world gone mad?
James stood up in despair and said, "Mr. Shelby, I'm going to transfer all my estate to Chester Group."
With that, James prepared to leave.
As he reached the office door, Chris suddenly stopped him.
"Wait!"
James turned around in despair.
Was he doomed after all?
Chris said flatly, "I need a white glove. Can you help me with that?"
"What?"
