Frank Cooper began loudly blaming himself.

This, in turn, left William Carter at a loss for what to do.

At this moment, Jason Carter stepped out, looked at Frank Cooper, and said, “Frank Cooper, I already told you in the county town, from now on we are enemies—mortal enemies! Get lost!”

William Carter and the others looked at Jason Carter in confusion.

Chapter 14 Shameless

At this moment, the villagers, having heard the commotion, all came out. A crowd gathered in front of the Wang family’s courtyard, and everyone was talking among themselves. Those who knew some of the situation quietly explained the feud between the Wang and Zheng families to the others.

Aunt Grace, who knew the feud best, jumped out and pointed at Frank Cooper, saying, “You’re Boss Zheng, right? A person should have a conscience. I know you had Little Jason take the blame back then. You promised to pay for Little Jason’s father’s full recovery and give a large sum for his convalescence. But after paying the surgery fee, you never cared again. How can you justify Little Jason taking the fall for you?”

The villagers all began to criticize Frank Cooper for his shamelessness.

Frank Cooper turned to Jason Carter and said, “Little Jason, it’s all your Uncle Zheng’s fault. Today, I’ve come to apologize. Look, I even brought five hundred thousand yuan as compensation for the losses I caused you.” As he spoke, he took a suitcase out of the car.

When the villagers heard “five hundred thousand,” they all gasped. To be honest, that much money would be enough to quell anyone’s anger.

William Carter also stared at the suitcase in a daze, a bit bewildered.

“I told you, ever since you threatened me in the county town, the only relationship between us is that of enemies. Take your money and get lost!”

“Little Wang, it’s all your Uncle Zheng’s fault. There’s a saying, ‘Even killing someone shouldn’t go too far.’”

“You said it well—‘Even killing someone shouldn’t go too far.’ But what did you say to me in the county town? You said the Zheng family isn’t someone small farmers like us can afford to offend. With your family’s influence, you could easily send me, Jason Carter, back to prison. I’d like to see just how capable you are of doing that!”

Hearing this, the villagers realized something else had happened between Frank Cooper and Jason Carter, and their gazes toward Frank Cooper changed again.

“That was just your Uncle Zheng speaking carelessly. Don’t take it seriously, don’t take it seriously.”

“Don’t take it seriously? What a joke. Frank Cooper, don’t call me so affectionately from now on. I don’t have an Uncle Zheng like you. If you could have done something to me, you would have by now. Let me tell you, I don’t even need to lift a finger against you—your Zheng family can forget about living comfortably from now on!”

“Jason Carter, I, Frank Cooper, have come to your door to beg you. What more do you want? If the money isn’t enough, just name your price!”

“Frank Cooper, aren’t you so influential in the county town? Then don’t come begging to me. No matter how much money you offer, I don’t care. If you don’t leave, I’ll beat you out of here.”

With that, Jason Carter grabbed a carrying pole and charged at Frank Cooper.

“Little Jason, let it go!”

William Carter quickly pulled Jason Carter back, then looked at Frank Cooper and said, “Boss Zheng, we’re just farmers, we can’t afford to associate with you. Take your money and leave.”

At this point, Frank Cooper’s face shifted between anger and embarrassment. Suddenly, he knelt down in front of Jason Carter and said, “Little Jason, it’s really my fault. Please let me go. Oh, and I’ve already told my son to leave Li Fangfang—he’ll have nothing more to do with her. My niece is even prettier than Li Fangfang. I can introduce her to you…”

Seeing Frank Cooper like this, and hearing what he said, the villagers were all stunned. They turned their eyes to Jason Carter, now feeling a sense of awe toward him.

To make a county boss this afraid—this was enough to show that Jason Carter was no ordinary person.

Aunt Grace immediately shouted, “Boss Zheng, what a ridiculous thing to say! Do you really think there are no beautiful women in our village? And you want to introduce your niece to Little Jason? You’re looking down on us!”

At this, the women in the village started cursing, as if Frank Cooper’s words had sparked public outrage.

Jason Carter was also so infuriated by Frank Cooper’s shamelessness that he raised the carrying pole, ready to hit him.

“Get out!”

With William Carter and the others holding him back, Jason Carter shouted at William Carter.

“Jason Carter, isn’t it enough that I admitted my fault? Are you trying to drive my Zheng family to ruin? I’ll fight you to the end!”

Frank Cooper suddenly leapt up and lunged at Jason Carter.

After another round of pulling and shoving, the villagers finally managed to separate them.

Jason Carter looked at Frank Cooper and said, “Scared now? Let me tell you, it’s useless to say anything now. My friends are more than enough to deal with you. If you don’t leave, they’ll deal with your family too!”

In fact, Frank Cooper was just trying to use a scene to scare William Carter and the others. He knew William Carter’s character and thought this would force him to restrain Jason Carter.

Frank Cooper’s tactics did have some effect. William Carter looked at his son and said, “Little Jason…”

“Dad, don’t say anything. Even if I wanted to stop this, I couldn’t. My friends want to deal with him—he deserves it!”

William Carter then looked at Frank Cooper and said, “You should go!”
