Chapter 859

Pull Out His Teeth

Stunned, Helen stared at Tate blankly. Huh? Are you actually asking me to do something so lowly?!

Chloe, on the other hand, was outraged at her son’s audacity. “Tate! How could you ask that of your Aunt
Helen? She shouldn’t have to go through such humiliation because of what you did. Helen, he’s my son,
and I should be the one who gets on my knees. I should be the one to slap myself!”

As she said this, she rushed over and knelt down next to James on the floor, crying out, “Mr. Harrison,
this is my son’s mess, and it has nothing to do with my sister at all. I should have raised him better than
this, so I’ll be the one to bear the brunt of his thoughtlessness.” She began to slap herself across the
face and continued to do so even as she begged, “Please don’t drag my sister into this. How about it, Mr.
Harrison?”

Regardless of her efforts, Joseph didn’t even bother sparing her a glance as he kept his icy gaze on
Helen. “Made up your mind yet? Do you want to see your nephew behind bars for the next decade, or
do you want to slap yourself a couple of times and keep him a free man?”

Helen felt hot tears pricking her eyes as she took in Chloe’s miserable state. Gritting her teeth, she
marched over and grabbed Chloe by the arms, helping her to her feet. “Get up, Chloe. It’s pointless for
you to beg on your knees!”

Then Helen turned to look at Joseph. “You want me to kneel? Fine, I will! Tate has done plenty of wrong,
but ultimately, it’s our fault for not giving him the proper guidance, so please give him a second chance!”
Having said this, she fell on her knees and began to slap herself just as Chloe had.

Joseph merely watched the husband-and-wife duo before him impassively, and he did not utter a single
word. Ten minutes had passed before he finally waved his hand imperiously and declared, “That’s
enough from the both of you! Go stand at the side right now!”



James and Helen grimaced, but they hurried to rise to their feet and cowered at the side of the room.

At that moment, Joseph turned to fix his murderous gaze on Tate. “Now, it’s your turn.”



Tate took a big gulp convulsively, panicking as he stammered, “M-Mr. Harrison, Aunt Helen has already
knelt on my behalf. What more do you want?”

“She knelt to keep you out of prison, but that doesn’t mean I’m through with you yet!” Joseph seethed. “I
think you should pay in blood for what you’ve done this time! Go and pull out all his teeth!”

Upon hearing this, the men next to Joseph immediately rushed forward and pinned Tate to the ground.

When Helen saw this, she cried out, “Mr. Harrison! Haven’t I already gotten on my knees like you asked?
What do you think you’re doing? How dare you go back on your word!”

Alas, no one paid attention to her as the men took their forceps and began to pull out Tate’s teeth one by
one.

While this was happening, Chloe felt fear coursing through her as she screeched, “Mr. Harrison, how
dare you to go back on your word! Whoever wants to lay a finger on my son will have to go through me!”

In one swift move, she grabbed the paring knife off the table and hurtled forward like a lunatic.

At the sight of this, a man standing next to Joseph kicked out at her and made her topple backward onto
the ground. The man was merciless as he followed up on his attack by kicking her face. Almost instantly,
blood gushed out from Chloe’s nose, and her lip was split. She couldn’t even push herself up from the
floor after that.

Helen was about to cry out in protest when James slapped her hard across her face, clearly infuriated as
he growled, “You better shut up, you b*tch! None of this would have happened if not for you! I swear, if



you even so much as try to speak up for that boy, I’ll cast you out of the Cunningham Family myself!”

Toward the end, Helen dared not make a peep. She could only watch with horror as Joseph’s men pulled
out all of Tate’s teeth.

It was only after Joseph had flushed all the teeth down the toilet that he nodded in satisfaction.

Presently, he turned to look at Matthew and Sasha, then said softly, “I’m terribly sorry for the ruckus, Mr.
Larson, President Cunningham.”

Matthew shook his head slightly, as if telling the old man to pay no mind to it.

Sasha, on the other hand, said hastily, “Oh, no, Mr. Harrison, please don’t say that! We were in the
wrong this time, and it was only right that you punished that boy. Matthew and I will personally show up
and apologize one of these days.”

Joseph smiled, then eyed James and Helen scornfully. “It’s a wonder that the both of you could even
manage to raise such a pleasant and reasonable daughter!” He scoffed. “If it weren’t for Mr. Larson and
President Cunningham, I would have bankrupted the whole Cunningham Family by the end of the night!”

With that, Joseph turned to leave, taking his company with him.

As soon as the front door closed, chaos descended upon the room.
