Chapter 161 A Great Humiliation to the Foxes

Jane suddenly looked up at Joseph as if she found this to be unimaginable. “What did you say?”

Joseph sneered and said slowly, “I don’t mind repeating myself if your hearing is bad.”

Richard’s expression changed drastically. He could no longer sit still. “Joseph, it’s true that Jane is at

fault, but you can’t step out of line!”

‘It’d be a great humiliation to my family if my dear daughter kneels over and begs for that poor girl’s

forgiveness. If word about it gets out, how will the family continue living on in Aesper?”

Similarly, Harold found this to be slightly inappropriate, but he remained silent.

“You want to go to such lengths to protect her? What’s so good about her? You treat me this way for

her sake, but I’m the one who grew up with you!”

“You lied and slandered her. And you found fault with her repeatedly. Do you think my people are easy

to bully?”

When Jane heard Joseph claiming Chloe to be one of his people, she felt as if an invisible hand had

grabbed hold of her heart. She was in so much pain that she found it hard to breathe.

She stared at Joseph fiercely. Putting her head up high, her eyes turned red as she said, “Who the hell

is Chloe? Me kneeling and begging for her forgiveness is out of the question!”

‘Not only that, I’ll ruin her youthful face since this b*tch acted recklessly just by relying on the fact that

she’s younger. I want to see if Joseph will continue to protect her when she becomes an ugly monster!!

Richard’s face turned solemnly before he abruptly stood up from the chair. “You insist on humiliating my

family for the sake of a woman. Thus, I think there’s no reason for us to stay anymore. Jane, let’s go.”

Jane’s eyes were teary as she stared at Joseph in resentment before turning around to leave

with her father.

Joseph did not stop them. He merely stretched his body languidly and said, “In that case, then I think

the Whitmans can cease doing business with the Foxes. After all, we lose money on that project every

year.

Hearing that, Harold nodded unconsciously and sipped his tea.

It was true indeed. His family paid for the losses every year in that project but the Foxes made profits

instead. His grandson was asked to make up for the losses every year. It seemed like he had paid over

one billion last year.

Now Harold could grab that chance and break that cooperation.

“No, you can’t break a business deal just like that!” Richard rebuffed.

They would not earn any money without that business deal.

Joseph’s dark eyes turned cold. He sounded extremely aloof as he said, “It’s fine. I recall that this

contract will end this year. Sebastian, the face of this project, is now a fallen star. His endorsement fee

isn’t a small expense.”

Usually, the Foxes would shamelessly approach the Whitmans and ask for a continuation of the

contract. Harold found it hard to reject, so he would reluctantly sign the extension.

He could help them, but no one wanted to suffer losses.

“Joseph, this year is a very difficult one for my brother. It’ll only make matters worse if you end the

cooperation now!” Jane roared and burst into tears as if the party that suffered losses all this while was

her family.

Richard’s expression was extremely hideous as he exuded a strong aura. He admitted that Joseph was

very powerful, but he could not disregard his family that way.

Yes, his son’s future prospects were half-ruined, but the Foxes were not doomed.

“Mr. Harold, I’ve always respected you. I treat Joseph as my child too, but he has let me down today.

When my dad was still around, you regarded him as your buddy. You even claimed that you’d help us if

anything happened to my family. My dad just passed five years ago but things are changing vastly.

Your family no longer takes my family seriously.”

Harold was moved when Richard’s father was mentioned. He always had a good relationship. with

Richard’s father. So, he looked at Joseph and said after some consideration, “Yes, Jane did. make a

mistake. Luckily, she made a timely statement. It’s fine as long as she says sorry.”

Joseph’s eyes were fierce as he snorted disdainfully. “Sure. Don’t ask for my help if you suffer any

losses in your business.”

Harold’s lips twitched. “Why did you say that? We’re a family. Don’t say such an unfriendly thing…”

“Mr. Harold, it’s normal for young people to be proud and arrogant.” Richard changed the topic and said

dully, “Alas… What a pity! If everything had gone smoothly, our families would have become even

closer to each other and these things wouldn’t have happened.”

Richard seemed to be saying nice things, but he was still trying to fight for justice on Jane’s behalf.
