Eason, fueled by jealousy and rage, dropped his last pretense. He looked at Sophia and said coldly, "Miss Harris, it's your luck that I'm interested in you. Are you really going to be so ungrateful?"
Sophia looked at him coldly. "Thank you, Mr. Peterson. But I don't need such luck!"
Eason suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha! In all my life, no one has ever refused me like this! Do you know the consequences you'll face?"
Sophia showed no fear. "As long as I can be with my family, I can bear any price!"
Eason sneered. "Even if it means you'll lose everything?"
At this moment, Ethan finally spoke, "Lose everything? Honestly, Eason, you don't have that kind of power!"
Eason's lips curled into an amused smile. "I don't?" He scanned the crowd and declared, "I, Eason Peterson, am making an announcement. Anyone who dares to do business with the Harris family will be my enemy. Tell me, who here dares to take any business from the Harris family?"
As his gaze swept the room, everyone looked away in unison. Businessmen were naturally profit-driven. Although they sympathized with the Harris family, offending Eason was far more frightening.
Seeing their reactions, Eason smiled triumphantly. "See? As long as I say so, no one in Greenhill City will dare to cooperate with you! Moreover, if I want, I can turn everything against you! You won't even be able to buy a bottle of water or a piece of bread in this entire city without my permission!"
Eason took two steps forward, standing in front of Ethan, Sophia, and Charles. "I will make your lives unbearable! That's what happens when you cross me!"
Suddenly, a powerful voice rang out. "Oh really?"
Everyone turned to see Roger, the chairman of Angel Group, walking up to Ethan and bowing respectfully. Then, turning to Eason, he said, "Mr. Peterson, you seem to be mistaken. This is Greenhill City, not your personal fiefdom!"
He then looked at Charles and said, "Mr. Harris, all the contracts that were previously canceled will now be taken over by Angel Group. Moreover, all of Angel Group's business will be handed over to the Harris family!"
Roger's words shocked everyone present. They all realized something very important. 'Angel Group is one of the top-ranked conglomerates in the country! With just one statement from Roger, the Harris family effectively got enough support. They would make great profits from it. Not only did the Harris family not suffer losses from the canceled projects, but they also earned a substantial amount in breach-of-contract penalties!'
At this moment, Eason's expression changed instantly, like a beast eyeing its prey, and he threatened Roger, "Mr. Marina, I advise you to think carefully before making a decision! Although Angel Group is a large conglomerate, don't forget this is Constant State! If you make a wrong decision, it could cause significant losses to your company!"
Roger responded proudly, "Mr. Peterson, there's no need for you to worry about that. Once I've made a decision, I won't change it!"
As the undisputed top elite of Constant State, Eason had never suffered such humiliation. He looked at Roger with a dark gaze, his face icy cold, and said, "Very well! Since Mr. Marina insists on going his own way, I have nothing more to say! But let me remind you, sometimes people have to bear the consequences of their actions!"
Roger smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I have an announcement. Today, Angel Group, Mega Group, Elite Group, and the other top ten commercial groups will jointly sign an agreement to appoint the Harris family as our sole partner in Constant State. The Harris family will have the priority choice for all commercial projects under the ten groups!"
This statement was like an earthquake, shaking everyone to their core. They gasped heavily, their eyes filled with intense jealousy, all fixed on Charles. 'The top ten groups mentioned by Roger are all renowned nationwide conglomerates! For a business investor to gain the favor from just one of them is incredibly fortunate, let alone all ten!'
Eason's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could a small family like the Harris family deserve such treatment?!"
Roger's lips curled into a slight smile. He then took a phone from his assistant and handed it to Eason, speaking calmly, "Mr. Peterson, don't you believe it? Listen to this call, and you'll know if it's true or not!"
Eason, with a skeptical expression, took the phone. A familiar voice immediately sounded as soon as he put it to his ear, "Eason, come back!"
Eason instantly recognized the voice. It was his father, Ray Peterson, the Governor of Constant State! "Dad, you want me to come back now? Won't my image and honor be ruined?"
On the other end of the line, Ray's voice turned cold. "Hmph! Those ten commercial groups have significant investments in Constant State and even have many large-scale projects with the government! Do you realize the losses to Constant State if you offend them?! Come back immediately!"
After saying this, Ray directly hung up the phone. Eason held the phone, and his eyes were filled with shock and humiliation. He didn't dare to disobey his father, but he was left with nothing but resentment.
Roger's slightly teasing voice rang out, "Mr. Peterson, is there still a problem?"
Eason was feeling humiliated. He lowered his head, handed back the phone, took a deep breath, and forced a smile. "No. No problem."
Roger continued, "Then may my friends leave now?"
Eason bitterly nodded. "Yes, they can."
Roger shrugged with a smile. "Good, then."
At this moment, Ethan slowly approached Eason with a faint smile on his face. "Eason, although I don't know where you got the confidence to oppose me, the facts have proven that your so-called confidence means nothing in front of me!"
Eason's fists clenched suddenly! His face turned red, and his body trembled with humiliation and rage.
Ethan's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Did you say you wanted my wife to spend a night with you?"
Eason gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! I'm warning you, if I ever get the chance, I'll f*uck your wife!"
Hearing this, Ethan didn't hesitate. He kicked Eason in the groin. "Sorry, Eason. You won't get the chance!"
After doing this, Ethan left with his family.
Eason let out a wretched scream, clutching his groin and rolling on the ground. People at the scene quickly came to help him and called for an ambulance. After a while, the doctors arrived and helped reduce the swelling and pain. They stated that further diagnosis would take time, but from the current situation, it seemed likely that Eason might lose his ability to have children.
Eason screamed and cursed madly. "Ethan! The Harris family! You all forced me to do this! I'll kill you all!"
His eyes were filled with intense murderous intent. He turned to Cart and said, "Call Scorpion. Tonight, I want Ethan and his family dead!!!"
