Chapter 178 Deadbeat
In less than ten minutes, Jonathan received a call from Graham.
“Mr. Goldstein, what’s going on? How have the members of the Turner family offended you?” Graham asked once Jonathan answered the call.
“It’s not really a big deal. It’s just a bunch of fools trying to push their luck.” Jonathan couldn’t be bothered at all.
He had never once thought of the members of the Turner family as a threat.
“That’s for sure, Mr. Goldstein!”
Aware of Jonathan’s identity, Graham played along with the almighty Asura, as not even the most influential family in Yaleview could defy Jonathan.
“Speaking of which, have the members of the Turner family messed with Graham Group and coerced with the suppliers of the company to limit the supply for your projects?”
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein. Apart from that, the ones representing the family warned everyone else to sever ties with the Smith family unless they wish to start a fight with the Turner family. Actually, it’s not really a big deal. It’ll only take me a few days at most to resolve the issue. Wait, a day is all I need to sort things out.”
Others would long give in to the demand of the Turner family. However, Graham would never resort to something as silly as such because the Turner family was nothing as compared to the almighty Asura.
Jonathan asked in return, “Can you resolve everything by tomorrow morning?”
“You have my words, Mr. Goldstein! I’ll sort everything out as soon as possible and make sure everything’s fine in the morning!” Graham reassured Jonathan without much hesitation.
“If that’s the case, I want you to make sure that the operation at the construction site resumes by tomorrow! Are we clear?” Jonathan instructed in a serious tone.
“Yes, Mr. Goldstein!”
Once he hung up the call, Jonathan looked at Josephine in the eyes and announced with a bright grin, “I have everything under control! The person in charge of Graham Group will resolve the crisis and carry on with the deal the representative has struck with you!”
“Are you serious? Are you telling me they’re going to start a fight with the Turner family? How is that possible?” Josephine gaped at Jonathan’s announcement and repeated her question after Jonathan.
As influential as the Graham Group might be in Jadeborough, the group isn’t on par with the family reigning over Jazona in many aspects!
Grinning, Jonathan pinched Josephine’s nose and asked, “What’s the matter? It’s not like one of the members of the Turner family is the King of War! They don’t get to call the shots and reign over others when they’re just another family of the upper echelon! Since they’re fearless enough to challenge you, we’re going to show them that they’ve picked on the wrong target! I’m going to show them they can’t even put on much of a fight in spite of pulling the connections they have built up over the years! I’m going to tell them they’re not even a match for the man they deem a deadbeat!”
“Can you stop getting full of yourself when you’re one!” Josephine rolled her eyes in response to Jonathan’s seemingly exaggerating speech.
She wasn’t as anxious as she was a few minutes ago. As long as Graham Group continued supporting them, she might pull through.
Jonathan teased, “You’re not expecting much from me, are you?”
