Son In Law Madness Chapter 403 Protest “I understand that. I really do. It’s just… I don’t want to die. I’m so young. Please spare my life, Lord Campbell! I promise I will never make the same mistake again,” begged Mason while shaking fearfully. At that point, urine had already drenched his pants. The man was so terrified that he had peed himself. Donald’s gaze glowed with cruelty. He was emotionless when he glared at Mason and stood up slowly. Mason’s eyes bulged instantly. One recurring thought ran through his mind. He’s going to kill me. He’s going to kill me! At that thought, his heart began thumping extraordinarily fast.

Thump! Donald saw Mason’s eyes turning bloodshot at an incredible speed. Then, Mason fell backward and landed on the floor. His entire body twitched for a bit before it fell motionless. “Did he just die of fear?” asked Donald, who was momentarily stunned. Kingsley stepped forward and checked Mason’s breathing. “Yeah, he did.” Donald scoffed. “What a coward.” He ignored the dead body and asked, “How long before the men from the Winston family arrive at the construction site?” Kingsley spoke to Bradley before answering, “They’ve already arrived.”

“Okay, got it. For now, send a small team and lure the entire Winston family there. After that, we will destroy all of them in one go,” instructed Donald. The project at Lord Campbell Avenue was already over sixty percent complete. Jennifer had invested heavily into the project to make sure everything was done as quickly as possible. She also offered a great salary, so everyone worked hard to complete the project. Once the three-lane highway was completed, Jennifer was certain she could finish Lord Campbell Avenue within three days.

Earlier, Kingsley had spoken to Jennifer about it as well. If she got everything done in advance, he would pay all the outstanding fees to her right away. He would also pay her for the land reclamation project in one go. All that inspired Jennifer to work harder, but trouble followed soon after. The second most powerful clan, the Winston family, had heard about how she would be building a three-lane highway. Hence, they were now protesting at the construction site and demanding a hefty compensation of ten million. Meanwhile, Albert was talking to Jennifer. “You are free to construct the three-lane highway, Ms. Wilson. You just need to compensate us ten million for it.” Jennifer’s eyes widened.

“That’s ridiculous! You’re obviously extorting me.” Kevin, Linda, and the others showed up at that moment. Linda planted her hands on her hips and roared, “Don’t cross the line, you punk! Mr. Lane has his eyes on Jennifer, and if you mess with her, you mess with him. I’d watch my back if I were you because he will surely kill you for it!” Kevin and Skylar, on the other hand, drove up in their Ferrari.

They pointed at the car and bragged, “See that? That’s the newest model. Are you sure you can afford to mess with someone who owns that?” Albert shifted his gaze to the car, but he wasn’t worried at all.

Neil had always been reluctant to mess with the clans because it would affect the stability of the local economy. Hence, Albert didn’t need to care about pissing Joshua or Neil off. “So, you guys are that rich, huh?

In that case, I will change my terms and demand for ten million and that car,” replied Albert calmly.

Over a hundred men from the Winston family were stationed behind him, and every single one of them was in a black suit. It was as though they were from the mafia. Some of those men even stood beside the machinery and made it impossible for the construction workers to work. The worst was those who lay on the ground and acted as though they would not leave until they received the money. Jennifer was so angry that her entire body trembled. “Why should I?” Albert replied, “I guess you don’t know this, Ms. Wilson, but this property used to belong to the Winston family. We used this piece of land to grow crops and sell them. Now that you have taken it away, we have no way of making ends meet.

That is why we demand compensation. How else will we feed all the mouths of our members? You don’t need to know the details, though. Just know this—you have to pay us today.” Albert grinned fearlessly because he held all the power. “As for Mr. Lane… Well, I don’t think he’s actually interested in you.” Jennifer growled, “Your family hasn’t grown any crops here in over a decade. Plus, Horizon Group had already compensated you with three times the profit you would’ve made from this land before we even began construction.”
