When he saw these two people, Jason Carter felt a mix of emotions. One of them was his good friend, his buddy, while the other was his ex-girlfriend. He never expected that the two of them would end up together.

When Jason Carter saw them, the two also looked up and saw Jason Carter standing there, and both of them froze in place.

Their facial expressions shifted with some complexity before Brian Cooper forced a smile and walked over, saying, “Jason Carter, I heard you’re out.”

Emily Thompson had no choice but to follow Brian Cooper over, but her expression was a bit unnatural.

“That’s right, I’m out!”

At this moment, Jason Carter thought about how the The Cooper Family hadn’t helped his father as agreed.

Just as the three of them hadn’t spoken yet, a middle-aged man hurried over and shouted, “Xiao Zhi, what are you waiting for? Go arrange the best room. The guest we’re hosting today is very important.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught sight of Jason Carter standing there, and his expression changed.

But quickly, the middle-aged man’s face broke into a wide smile as he said, “Oh, it’s Jason Carter, you’re out?”

“Yes, Manager Cooper, I remember we had an agreement, didn’t we?”

This middle-aged man was Brian Cooper’s father, Frank Cooper. When he heard Jason Carter mention the agreement between them, his face changed again, turning gloomy as he said, “What agreement? I don’t know anything about that.”

Originally, Jason Carter had thought about letting go of the fact that the The Cooper Family hadn’t fulfilled their promise, but now, hearing Frank Cooper speak like this, he turned his gaze to Brian Cooper and said, “Is that what you think too?”

“Jason Carter, stop bringing up things from years ago. Let me tell you, I’m only giving you some respect because we were classmates. Hmph, you’re just a farmer—who do you think you are?” Brian Cooper suddenly turned hostile, his eyes flashing with menace as he looked at Jason Carter.

As he spoke, Brian Cooper pulled Emily Thompson into his arms and said, “Ha! Who do you think you are? Back then, I hung out with you just because I was interested in Emily Thompson. If it weren’t for her, do you think I’d have bothered with you? See? Now this beauty is mine. Tsk, I really didn’t expect that after all those years with you, Emily Thompson was still a virgin!”

“Brian Cooper!”

Emily Thompson was upset and shouted.

“What are you yelling for? Upset? Hmph, if you don’t want to be with me, get lost. I can have as many women as I want!”

Brian Cooper yelled at Emily Thompson.

What surprised Jason Carter was that Emily Thompson didn’t show any intention of resisting. Instead, she spoke in a coy voice, “Brother Cooper, you know how I feel. I haven’t said anything, and besides, I’ve given you everything.”

Only then did Brian Cooper’s expression change, and he burst out laughing as he looked at Jason Carter and said, “See? That’s how women are. Jason Carter, oh Jason Carter, I really don’t know how you managed to get by. No wonder you were tricked into taking the blame for someone else. Heh, since you took the fall, I can arrange for you to work at my family’s factory. As long as you behave, I can still give you a meal.”

Standing there, Jason Carter was truly shocked by how much Emily Thompson had changed, and even more heartbroken by Brian Cooper’s two-faced behavior.

Were these really the good friend and girlfriend he had once treated with all his heart?

Suddenly, Jason Carter felt a sense of relief, realizing that he really had been a bit foolish in the past.

At this moment, Frank Cooper said in a deep voice, “Jason Carter, since you’re out, you’d better watch your mouth and stop looking for trouble. Our family isn’t someone you can mess with. In this county, if I, Frank Cooper, say the word, I can have you thrown back in!”

At this point, Emily Thompson also seemed eager to show off in front of Brian Cooper, and said to Jason Carter, “Jason Carter, we were just young and immature back then. Those things were just childish mistakes. From now on, don’t come looking for me. We have nothing to do with each other.”

Nothing to do with each other?

Jason Carter was truly speechless. One was a girlfriend he had fought for, the other a good friend he had taken the blame for, and now they were saying they had nothing to do with him.

Jason Carter actually laughed in anger. He looked at the three of them, then nodded slightly and said, “That’s right, from now on we have nothing to do with each other. Of course, what we have nothing to do with is our friendship. But let me tell you, from now on, we do have something to do with each other—we’re enemies!”

With that, Jason Carter strode forward.

“Jason Carter, what do you mean? You dare go up against our The Cooper Family? Who do you think you are?” Brian Cooper shouted loudly from behind.

“That’s right, who do you think you are!”

At this moment, a middle-aged man strode over, surrounded by several people.

Chapter 8 Mr. Newton

As soon as he finished speaking, Brian Cooper was slapped to the ground by a fierce-looking young man.

“You guys… Niu… Mr. Newton, you’re here?” Frank Cooper was about to get angry, but when he saw the middle-aged man standing in the center, his expression immediately changed to one of flattery.

But the middle-aged man didn’t even look at Frank Cooper. Instead, he looked at Jason Carter and said, “Xiao Fei, what’s this? You got out and didn’t even let your old buddy know?”
