Chapter 858 Lose Everything
All the color drained from Helen's face. She glanced over at James, but he ignored her and turned his face the
other way. Out of desperation, she could only look to Matthew for help as she begged, "M- Matthew, do you think
you could plead with Mr. Harrison on my behalf? | promise this won't ever happen again."
However, before Matthew could respond, Joseph snapped, "Don't speak for her, Matthew! This isn't going to
resolve itself just because someone begs for forgiveness, and | don't care who that may be. If you were to speak
for her, then we would be as good as strangers from now onward!"
Having heard this, Matthew gave Helen a helpless shrug. He had never intended to help her anyway, not after he
realized that there would only be more trouble to cif Tate did not learn a hard lesson this time.
Sasha glared at her mother incredulously. "I told you not to believe him, didn't I? But you refused to listen to me,
and look how things turned out! | can't do anything about this now. Mr. Harrison, do whatever you must. You
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthave my unwavering support!"
Joseph was pleased to hear this, and he nodded before saying, "Very well, then. Let's start with you, James-I
believe the agreement was that you should get on your knees and apologize to my granddaughte if you were
proven to be wrong."
James blanched. "M-Mr. Harrison, | was misled earlier and-"
"You should be ashamed that an adult like you lacks such common sense to tell right from wrong," Joseph
sneered. "You insulted my granddaughter right from the get-go, and I'd say you deserve what's coming for you,
even if you were misled! My question for you, James, is whether you're going to get on your knees or not?"
James spat out through gritted teeth, "Don't cross the line here, Mr. Harrison! 1—"
"Fine, you don't have to kneel," Joseph barked, cutting the insolent man off with an angry wave of his hand.
"Give Stanley a call right now and tell him I'm going to stop dealing with Cunningham Pharmaceuticals effective
immediately. Also, get my son to have someone look into Cunningham Group Wellness Herbary and the new
pharmacy they're about to open. Listen tovery carefully, James-if | so much as find any trace of funny
business, you best believe I'm going to cripple your family fortune and make you lose everything!"
James' blood ran cold when he heard this. It was impossible for any company as big as theirs to have entirely
clean records.
The Harrisons' word was as good as law when it cto matters in Eastcliff's medical industry; if Joseph really
were to set his mind on screwing them over, then they could do nothing else but wait for the end to come.
As such, James lowered his voice as he stammered, "D-Don't you think that's a little too harsh, Mr. Harrison?
Surely there's no need for such extremity when what we're dealing with here will eventually becan
insignificant thing of the past.”
He was brutally rebuffed when Joseph countered icily, "Crystal is the only girl in our family, and there are three
generations of us. For her to have endured such a horrific ordeal today would not sit well with the rest of the
Harrisons, particularly if | don't see to it that she is rightfully compensated. You don't have to kneel, James, but
you'd be going through much worse after | have someone look into all your businesses!"
James turned as white as a sheet, and after a long moment of silence, he heaved a long sigh of resignation. "I
won't ever forgive you for this, Helen!" he hissed through gritted teeth even as he reluctantly walked up to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCrystal and got onto his knees before her. "I'm sorry, Miss Harrison!" he apologized as his face flushing red with
indignation.
However, Crystal neither spared him a glance nor asked him to rise to his feet. She hated him for mistreating
Matthew all the time, and she wanted to punish him for it now.
Not daring to get to his feet, James was forced to acknowledge how bleak his situation was as he remained on
his knees.
Then, Joseph turned to Helen and snapped, "And now it's your turn! Go over and kneel in front of my
granddaughter, and slap yourself on the face until she tells you to stop!" Helen thundered, "I will do no such
thing! You're taking things way too far, Joseph!"
"Fine, then," Joseph began darkly. "If you won't kneel, then we'll have to call the police over and tell them
everything. The incident today alone would be enough to keep your nephew in prison for ten years at the very
least!"
Given Joseph's social standing and powerful connections, he was being merciful to Tate just by having the latter
kept behind bars for ten years, especially in light of his recent string of problematic incidents. As panic settled
within Tate, he quickly urged Helen, "Aunt Helen, you have to save me! M-Maybe you should just do as he
says..."
