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?”

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!”

Tate began to panic. As far as criminal records went, his was not the cleanest, and an incident like this one could easily get him thrown into prison for years. “Aunt Helen, you can’t call the police!” he interjected hastily.

Confused by his belligerence, Helen blinked and asked, “Why? We have every right to call the police on them, seeing as they broke into our home. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

To the side, Sasha curled her lips into a humorless smile as she scoffed and interjected, “I think it’s pretty obvious what’s really going on around here, Mom. This punk has probably done something despicable again and landed himself in boiling hot water!”

Helen’s eyes widened to the size of saucers, and she suddenly recalled what Tate had said when he arrived at the house—he and his friends had wanted to teach Crystal a lesson, which culminated in the whole mess.
