Chapter 788

James was rooted to the spot. He was already an unreasonable person, but he didn’t expect that there
would be someone worse than him. “Jonah, don’t you cross the line! It was your son who drove the car
and crashed into someone, so there’s no way we’ll help you settle it!” he bellowed.

Jonah coldly retorted, “You were the one who lent him the car. You knew that he had no driver’s license,
but you still lent him the car. You are basically trying to destroy him! Even if this case is to be handled by
a judge, you’ll still be held responsible for lending your car to someone without a driver’s license.”

James was so exasperated that he started to tremble. Upon taking the tea cup from the table, he
smashed it to the ground. “Damn it! Who do you think you are to make a fuss in my place?”

A defiant Jonah slammed his palm on the table and stood up straight. “Are you trying to evade
responsibility? I’m telling you that if my son goes to jail or something else, I’ll never let you off!”

Helen hurriedly chimed in, “Both of you should stop. We should think about how to solve this problem
instead of arguing with each other. This is embarrassing.”

James snarled, “Shut up! If you didn’t lend the car to that b*stard, this incident wouldn’t have happened.
You’re the one who has caused the problem, so you’ll solve it yourself!”

Upon finishing his words, he stormed out of the place while Jonah growled from behind, “Who are you
calling b*stard? I dare you to say that again!”

Chloe hurriedly stopped him. “Alright, alright. What’s the point of arguing about this? Let’s have a seat
and discuss how we can settle the matter.”

Appearing incensed, Jonah took a seat on the couch. Then, Helen wiped away her tears and uttered, “I-I
didn’t expect that such an incident would happen. At that time, Tate promised that he’d let his girlfriend
drive, which was why I lent the car to him. Who could have expected that such an accident would
occur?”



He yelled, “Don’t you know that a young man like him has no self-control? You’re a mature person, so
why are you naive? Why did you just believe whatever he said?”



Unable to take it anymore, Sasha, who was seated on the side, refuted, “Uncle Jonah, can’t you be more
polite? My mom lent him the car because she loved him. How could you scold her in such a way?”

Jonah rebuked, “Did I say anything wrong? Wasn’t she naive to believe whatever my son said? Tate is
still young, so how could she let him do whatever he wanted?”

She was so infuriated that she couldn’t utter a word. At this moment, Matthew walked over and gently
uttered, “Uncle Jonah, I think you don’t have to be so fretful. Tate is still young. In our country, an
underaged person is exempted from a lot of legal responsibilities.”

Jonah growled, “Bullsh*t! Tate is already twenty years old, so how is he still underaged?”

Matthew directly retorted, “I’m glad you know he’s twenty years old! Do you still regard him as a young
kid when he’s already twenty? Are you out of your mind? He’s a grown-up, so how can you still say that
he has no self-control? Is he suffering from dementia infantilis or something?”

While Jonah was dumbfounded, James poked his head from his room and responded, “Well said,
Matthew! Good job! Hahaha! Dementia infantilis. That’s interesting…”

As it was the first time he found Matthew to be so likeable, James looked approvingly at the young man.

Jonah barked, “Matthew Larson, what on earth do you mean by this? Although my son is twenty, he’s still
young compared to you all. How can you degrade him in such a way? Is this how you’re supposed to talk
to your senior?”



Matthew refuted, “We’re just letting you have a taste of your own medicine because that’s how you
treated us. What’s wrong with that?”

Immediately clapping his hands, James added, “I don’t see anything wrong with that!”
