Matthew laughed it off lightly. “Mr. Jackson, isn’t it too arbitrary to nail me as the murderer with just these evidence?”
In a fit of rage, Harvey shouted, “Larson, are you still trying to deny even when we’re presented with these solid evidence? Let me tell you, it’s useless even if you refuse to admit! With the members of the Ten Greatest Families here tonight, they’ll make a judgment about this incident!”
The members of the Ten Greatest Families began voicing out their opinions, “I think these evidence are enough.”
“That’s right. Everything was caught clearly on tape. It’s definitely enough to sentence him!”
“I agree. These evidence are sufficient. What else is left to say?”
Delighted, Harvey felt at ease with the support from the Ten Greatest Families.
Subsequently, James stood up and asked loudly, “Matthew, are you still unrepentant at this time? All the evidence has been laid out, so what else do you have to say?”
Helen nodded. “That’s right. It’s useless even if you try to deny it!”
“Mom, Dad, what are you talking about?” Sasha asked, distressed. “How are these considered as evidence? These do not prove anything!”
Demi scoffed, “Why aren’t these considered as proof? So many people agree that they are, yet you’re the only one who says otherwise. Do you think that you’re smarter than everyone else?”
Before the incident even concluded, the Cunninghams had already started a brawl. Old Master Jackson knitted his brows lightly and cast a look at them. Harvey roared, “Shut up, all of you! Matthew, even your own family wants you to admit your crimes. What else do you have to say now? I’ll give you a chance to confess honestly. Then, you can go to the mourning hall and pay your respects to my nephew by bowing three times and kowtowing nine times. With that, I can give you an easy death, or else, I’ll make sure you suffer before you die!”
Grinning, Matthew said, “Mr. Jackson, do you still remember what I said? If it’s proven that you have wronged me tonight, then you’ll have to compensate my family and I for the damages you caused us mentally as well as to our reputation. That amount is 300 million!”
Immediately, Helen chirped in, “Matthew, don’t drag us in! Old Master Jackson, Matthew did all of this and we have nothing to do with it. And we don’t want any compensation, either. You’re still thinking about money at a time like this? Matthew, I was right about you being a money-grubber!”
“Mom, could you please not say anything?” Sasha pleaded in frustration. “Matthew already said that favonovel.com was wronged and is merely asking for the rights favonovel.com deserved. What’s wrong with that? Furthermore, this compensation includes us. The Jacksons blew up this incident and Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is slandered like this. Shouldn’t they compensate for this?”
Hopping mad in anger, James cursed, “Darn it, would we be in such a state if favonovel.com didn’t kill anyone? Sasha, tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com doesn’t have to look out for us. Even if favonovel.com could get the compensation, I don’t want that money at all! My family has nothing to do with him!”
“Dad, how could you do this?” Sasha exclaimed and the Cunninghams started another round of dispute.
Finally, Old Master Jackson couldn’t stand it anymore and chided coldly, “You are making too much noise!”
Harvey sprang into action and ordered, “The Jackson’s Estate is not a place for your petty squabbling! Men, bring them to the backyard and await further instructions!”
A group of men came over and brought James and the rest to the backyard. On the way, favonovel.com was still clamoring together with Helen, “Old Master Jackson, we’re not connected with Matthew! We’ve cut our ties with him!”
But everyone ignored them. In a cold voice, Harvey said, “With this solid evidence, it’s proven that Mr. Larson killed my nephew! It’s only natural that favonovel.com pays with his life for the murder. Men, take favonovel.com down and bring favonovel.com to my nephew’s mourning hall. We’ll deal with favonovel.com later!”
As a group of men got near, a clear, cold voice echoed through the hall. “Mr. Jackson, we’re now only hearing your side of the story. Shouldn’t we also listen to what Mr. Larson has to say?”
Spinning their heads around, everyone saw the beautiful Leanna striding over in a mighty aura!
