Harold Atkinson said, âJason, after all, the Atkinson family and the Reed family were friends once.
Youâre not really going to wipe us out, are you? The Atkinson Garden project is very important to the Atkinson family. The Reed family might not be able to profit much from it after taking it. Why make things hard for everyone?â
âThe Atkinson family has had their glory long enough, and now itâs time to draw the curtains,â Jason said lightly. His calm attitude at the moment was a far cry from Harold Atkinsonâs tense appearance.
âHasnât the Atkinson family worked well with the Reed family all these years? If you have any opinions or conditions, you can tell me. You can just tell me what you want. If the Atkinson family can do it-â
âI want all the companies under the Atkinson family to be removed from Emerald City,â said Jason as he interrupted Harold Atkinson.
Harold Atkinsonâs expression immediately changed. Jasonâs request was basically asking the Atkinson family to throw away all their properties in Emerald City!
Most of the Atkinson familyâs properties were in Emerald City. They had some properties in other places too, but if they lost their foundation in Emerald City, then the Atkinson family was done for.
âYouâ¦â Harold Atkinson glared at him. âWhy? Is itâ¦â
A possibility flashed across Harold Atkinsonâs mind, but then he thought that it was too crazy. âIs it possible? Would Jason spend so much effort to take on and wipe out the Atkinson family just for a woman?â
However, he could not think of any other reason.
The Atkinson family had gotten into trouble with Jason only over Graceâs imprisonment.
âAre you doing this for Grace?â Even though Harold Atkinson asked the question out loud, it still felt unreal.
âWhat if I am?â Jason readily admitted it.
âSo⦠itâs really about Grace!â Harold Atkinson gasped. âBut⦠Lily has already paid the price for Graceâs case!â
It could be said that Lily had been forced by Jason to quit the entertainment industry in a disgraceful way because of Grace.
The Atkinson family thought that was the price to pay, but now it seemed to be much more than that.
âLily merely quit the entertainment industry. Itâs ridiculous to think that youâve paid the price with just that,â Jason said coldly.
Harold Atkinson suddenly got up and said with a grim face, âIn that case, are you really going to wipe out the Atkinson family, Master Reed?â
âMy wife canât have suffered for nothing, can she?â Jason asked with a sneer.
At this moment, Grace had left the detention center and arrived at Reed Group.
âYoung Madam, Master Reed is meeting Chairman Atkinson in his office right now,â the secretary reminded her.
âChairman Atkinson?â Grace was stunned. âThe chairman of Atkinson Group?â
âYes,â answered the secretary.
âOkay, got it. You can go back to work,â said Grace.
She did not have a good impression of the Atkinson family. After all, Lily had pulled out her fingernails and almost ruined her hands. Afterward, the Atkinson family sent many people tc give her a âtreatâ when she was in prison.
However, she wondered why Lilyâs father, Harold Atkinson, was here to look for Jay. âIs it because of Atkinson Garden?â
Grace thought of Atkinson Gardenâs proposal which she had seen on Jasonâs desk and the photos of Jennifer the Atkinson family had sent.
