Chapter 622

Charlie clutched his stomach as he laughed. “What did you just say? Uncle, didn’t you say that you negotiated this project with the Jackson Family? What’s going on now? Why is the Jackson Family denying this all of a sudden?”

Jason smiled and mocked, “Charlie, how can you talk to your uncle like this? You’re so rude. Don’t you know how to have respect for your elders? Please don’t be angry, James. This is just how young people are, straightforward and often saying everything that is on their mind. But what’s going on with your project? Didn’t you say that the people from the Cunningham Family won’t count on the worthless kept man? What’s going on now? That loser was the one who won this project?”

Eric glanced at James sideways with a look of contempt. “James, do you know why I insist on not letting you be in charge of the family’s business? You are incapable. Not only are you an idiot, you also like to do grandiose things to impress people, not to mention self-righteous too. If I let a person like you take charge of the family business, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would have collapsed long ago!

You’re saying that Matthew is a worthless kept man? Ha! You are even worse than that loser in my eyes!”

Everyone laughed again. It was natural for the Old Master to be extremely harsh.

On the other hand, James flushed red, not expecting this to be the case. Today, he called the Cunningham Family over to let them see his family’s business and make them regret the way they treated him previously. However, he had never imagined that such a situation would happen and that the Jackson Family would throw a wet blanket on him at his proudest moment. Just great! Now, all his previous prestige was gone and he was thoroughly embarrassed!

The most important thing was that he would face a serious problem if he screwed up the project.

Before he could argue with the Cunningham Family, he hurriedly assured, “Mr. Jackson, it is the same for you to cooperate with me. The construction company originally belonged to our Cunningham Family and as I am the head of the Cunningham Family, the construction company should also be mine. I can do what Matthew can do. I-I’ll give you 30% more than the profit Matthew offered to share with you.

How about it? Is this enough?”

Alaric glanced at him and said coldly, “No need for that! James, we don’t do business with a person who goes back on his own word and does not have any integrity! You are not qualified to cooperate with the Jackson Family! Now, I hope to see you returning us our money within three days! Otherwise, when the time comes, you won’t be able to afford to compensate us even if you sell the entire Cunningham Pharmaceuticals!” With that, Alaric spun around and left, not giving James a chance to speak.

James, on the other hand, staggered and almost collapsed to the ground. The Jackson Family’s divestment was no longer the main issue. The most critical question was, how could he get so much money to return to the Jackson Family? He had already spent all the money they invested previously.

If he wanted to refund the money, he had to transfer funds from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. But the question was, would Cunningham Pharmaceuticals give him such a large sum of money? Even if Sasha agreed, would the board of directors agree?

Jason chuckled and said, “My brother, I always advocate taking on things within your capabilities. You haven’t even managed a commissary, so how dare you dream to be in charge of a construction company? Billions are involved in the construction of a villa area. Do you really think you can handle it?

You have great ambition and little talent, not to mention self-righteous. The people of the Jackson Family are right. You are not qualified to cooperate with them at all!”

Charlie pursed his lips. “Dad, why are you telling him this? If he’s willing to listen to our advice, he wouldn’t be in this situation now. Well, it has nothing to do with our family anyway. Let’s just watch from the sidelines!”
