Chapter 627

“Miss Harison, we didn’t mean that,” James explained anxiously. “W-What I meant was… there’s no need
for that. Cunningham Pharmaceuticals is very happy to cooperate with the Carlson Group. There is no
need to make such a big deal out of such a trivial matter…”

Upon hearing that, Crystal’s expression turned to ice. “I was slapped by your daughter, yet you’re saying
that it was a trivial matter?”

James panicked. He only made an offhand remark and did not expect Crystal to hold him accountable.

“T-That wasn’t what I meant…” James said in a hurry.

“Stop with this nonsense!” Crystal shouted. “She must be held accountable! Director, call the police!”

With that, the director immediately called the police without another word.

Before long, Demi was taken away by the police.

As for James and the other two, they were lucky that they did not slap Crystal.

However, it was uncertain how Demi would be able to get out of jail.

The key aspect for this kind of issue was to see whether the parties involved were willing to settle it
privately.



If Crystal didn’t forgive Demi, then Demi might have to be locked in jail for a few days.

After that, James and the rest walked out of the hospital dejectedly.

They originally came to make trouble for Matthew but unexpectedly, they got themselves into trouble
instead.



“What should I do now? D-Demi won’t be detained, right? James, you’d better think of a way to save
her!” Helen sobbed.

With a cold look, James muttered furiously, “I told you a long time ago that you shouldn’t spoil our
daughter too much. Look at how she has turned out! She hits anyone who doesn’t agree with her and
she even slapped Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter. How can I save her now?”

Angry, Helen countered, “You’re saying that I spoil her? Don’t you spoil her too? Also, this isn’t the time
to discuss this! She’s in the police station now so the most important thing for you to do now is to find a
way to rescue her!”

“Do you think I don’t want to save her?” James roared. “It’s just that I don’t have the ability to do so! That
woman is Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter. How can I save Demi?”

Helen suddenly became speechless as that was indeed true.

If Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter wanted Demi to be held accountable, who could save her?

Liam then whispered, “Dad, Mom, we should solve the immediate problem first, right? I have made
appointments with several rich bosses to have dinner together tonight. The project in the villa area is now
the most critical matter. If this project is completed, we won’t have to be intimidated by Mr. Harrison
anymore in the future. When the time comes, it’ll be their turn to apologize!”

James nodded slowly. “That’s right! One’s capability is the most important thing in life! When we are
capable, others will then beg us for forgiveness, instead of the other way round!”

With that, the three of them temporarily set aside Demi’s affairs and rushed to the banquet.

Liam had found three bosses, all of whom were in the real estate business.



After they arrived at the banquet and exchanged pleasantries, Liam got straight to the point and told
them his true purpose of inviting everyone here.

James also brought the information of the villa area project. After Liam finished speaking, he passed the
information over to the bosses.

“Everyone, this is the information of the villa area project. Please go through it. This project will definitely
make a lot of money and we’ll surely earn a lot by working together!” said James as he grinned ear to
ear.

The three bosses glanced at each other, but no one took the information.

James was a little confused. What is the meaning of this?

Liam then said in a low voice, “Everyone, why don’t you guys take a look at this project? I’ve overseen
the progress of this project myself many times and it’s absolutely worth it! As long as you invest, we are
willing to give you another 30% of the profits as dividend. Don’t miss the opportunity!”

It was only then that one of the men said lightly, “Liam, we knew about this project a long time ago.
You’re right; this project is indeed worthwhile and will be profitable. However, the problem is we can’t
invest now!”
