Chapter 256


    Old Master Jackson’s face turned as pale as a sheet.


    Although the Jacksons was one of the Ten Greatest Families of the city, the family was nothing in the


    presence of Billy.


    There was nothing he could do now that Billy was threatening to take the ten lives of his family.


    At that juncture, Harvey remarked indignantly, “Billy Newman, it was Matthew Larson who wanted to


    exchange his life for 300 million. My family didn’t say anything of that sort! What’s more, his life can’t be


    worth the same as my family members!”


    Old Master Jackson was so pissed off to hear Harvey’s remark that he nearly puked blood. “Keep your


    mouth shut!” he boomed angrily.


    Harvey looked baffled not knowing what he had done wrong.


    Billy first glimpsed at Harvey before challenging him in an icy voice, “Why do you think so? Do you


    think that my friend isn’t as respectable as the people of your family? Harvey Jackson, do you think too


    highly of yourself or do you have too low an opinion of me?”


    Looking shaken, it suddenly dawned upon Harvey why he was criticized by Old Master Jackson just


    now.


    His statement just now was akin to a humiliation to the First King of Eastcliff!


    With resignation written all over his face, Old Master Jackson caved in with a sigh, “Master Newman, of


    course he’s worth 300 million since he’s your friend! Scott, go and get the money ready and apologize


    to Mr. Larson on my behalf!”


    A slightmotion ensued among the people present seeing that the Jacksons had yielded to Billy.

    Billy sneered, “Connor Jackson, I’m impressed by how flexible you are. But, your son humiliated me


    just now. Don’t you think you have to do something about that?”


    Old Master Jackson asked, “Master Newman, what would you like me to do?”


    “At first, I’d like to offer 300 million to buy his life. But since you’re willing to offer thepensation


    together with the apology to Matthew, I’ll help you salvage whatever is remaining of your dignity. Well,


    just beat your son up until he loses all his teeth and I will then forget about everything that has


    happened today!”


    Old Master Jackson’s face looked grim when he heard Billy but in the end, he still waved his hands to


    summon his men and ordered through gritted teeth, “He deserves to get such a punishment for having


    the guts to humiliate Master Newman! All of you,e and do exactly as Master Newman said!”


    Harvey trembled with horror as he pleaded, “Dad,! Dad, please don’t do this to me, please don’t…”


    Old Master Jackson shut his eyes because there was nothing he could do despite the intense pain in


    his heart.


    Harvey would not have received that punishment if he had not made that statement just now.


    However, since he had said that, he had no choice but to ept the punishment!


    Soon, someone from the Jackson Family passed a card to Matthew informing him that they would


    transfer the 300 million to the card.


    That was the end of the dramatic saga and Matthew decided to keep the pendrive with him.


    He would leave it to the Jacksons to deal with Samuel.


    Seeing that the issue had been solved, Billy and Timothy bid farewell with Matthew before leaving with


    their men.


    Instead of leaving, Matthew made a dash to the backyard to pick up Sasha and her family who were


    locked up inside a room.


    Sasha was so anxious that she kept on pacing back and forth.


    Demi scoffed, “Sasha, why’re you panicking? Don’t you believe that Matthew isn’t the murderer? Why


    have you lost your confidence all of a sudden? Everything will be alright. I’m sure Matthew will live a


    long life, even longer than a turtle! Ha ha ha…”


    Sasha looked grim when she heard Demi’s frivolous remark.


    Liam taunted, “He will live a long life? I guess we’ll be asked to collect his dead body soon!”


    Sasha, who was enraged to hear thatment, confronted him, “Liam, what nonsense are you talking


    about?”


    Demi snapped back immediately, “Did he say anything wrongly? The evidence clearly shows that


    Matthew is the murderer and I’m sure the Jacksons will get him killed by tonight! Let me tell you right


    now that I won’t help him collect his body!”


    James nodded his head slowly in agreement. “She’s right. He has nothing to do with our family! None


    of the Cunninghams is allowed to collect his body or I’ll sever any ties with the person and the person


    will be asked to leave my house immediately!”


    Sasha panicked and eximed, “Dad, how could you say something like that? Matthew has always


    done everything for the good of our family. He’s still trying to ask forpensation for our family even


    at this hour! Can’t you just pray for something good to happen to him?”


    Helen countered with her lips pursed, “Who cares about thepensation he can get us? I’m making


    my stance very clear right now—even if he manages to get us thepensation, I won’t even look at it


    and I won’t use a single cent of it!”
