106 Taking You As My Disciple
Sharon was startled by the voice behind her. She turned around in surprise. “Why... Why are you here?”
“This is my house. Of course, I’d be here.” Watson looked at her with a smile.
At that moment, the three bodyguards in black brought James back. The latter’s expression was extremely ugly as if he had suffered some physical pain.
Sharon didn’t expect to have the chance to see her father-in-law in such a sorry state, and she couldn’t help but want to laugh. As the saying goes: those who live under the same house have the same temperament. No wonder this person could be June’s husband. Both of them aren’t welcomed everywhere-who is more superior? James actually wanted me to pay to take the blame. This little punishment is a lesson for him.
At this moment, James was panting heavily. He had been running desperately and was about to board the car, but he didn’t expect these people to catch up.
After all, he was already old, and his body was fat. He couldn’t run fast at all, so how could he be a match for those burly young men?
Not only that, but these people also dared to hit him after they held him down.
He struggled hard and even suffered a few slaps. He had never been so miserable in his life.
Seeing James being pressed onto the table, the butler shook his head and said helplessly, “You smashed this thing, so you naturally have to compensate for it yourself. After all, you’re our old client. Don’t you understand this logic?”
James’s eyes kept moving as if he really were thinking about something. After a long time, he finally thought of a clumsy excuse. “I didn’t do it on purpose... This thing was placed too carelessly! It’s fine if you want me to compensate you, but you are partly responsible too, right?!”
The butler didn’t expect someone to distort the truth like this, and he frowned slightly. “If you continue to make up lies like this, we’ll contact your house or call the police immediately! An antique like this is enough to put you in jail!”
Looking at Sharon, James gritted his teeth in hatred. However, he had no choice but to ask his daughter-in-law for help. “Sharon, listen to Daddy and give them the money! We’re a family-you can’t leave me in the lurch!”
Sharon said helplessly, “Dad, you’re thinking too much. I don’t have much money. You know that I only just started working, and I’ve bought a car for you. I don’t have much money left.”
“Then, you can go to jail for me or pay in installments! The Harris family has always raised you, so you have to repay us now!”
Everyone looked at him with disdain. Is he a man or not? How can I say such things!?
The butler did not want to listen to his nonsense anymore and stood up. “You useless piece of trash! A man actually wants a young lady to take responsibility for the matter? Doing business with us is the most important thing. You’re unhappy with our Old Master, so you broke this bowl. Now, you want to blame it on others. Why don’t I call June and let her pick you up?”
Hearing this, James began to tremble. If June really finds out, my life will be even more difficult. I might even be kicked out of the house. By then, nobody will support me in my old age.
“No, no, no! I’ll immediately think of a way to pay you back. This matter is still negotiable-don’t let my family know!” James instantly softened and returned to his usual cowardly self.
Looking at him, Sharon couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh. “This old gentleman, can you let my father pay in installments on account that we know each other? You can sign the contract and confirm this matter.”
James sneered. “Who do you think you are? You are demanding things on your account? Let me tell you: our family doesn’t need a useless daughter-in-law like you! You can’t even take out five million dollars, so what’s the use of having you?”
“Hahahahaha!” Watson suddenly laughed. “You’re an interesting little girl. You still want to negotiate with me, but I have better suggestions and choices here. If you’re willing to be my disciple, I can exempt him from his debt. Just treat today’s matter as if it never happened. What do you think?”
