Look At What You've Done

In Lu Mansion. "You're back?" Lydia saw James and stopped watching TV, "Your father is in the study." James nodded slightly, "Okay." "It seems that your father is very unhappy. You brat, what have you done to provoke him?" Lydia pursed her lips, "He looks so angry that I don't dare to take the initiative to talk to him. I'm afraid that he will vent his anger on me. It's all your fault!" Hearing this, James glanced at the upstairs. He understood and said, "Has he ever got angry with you?" "Humph!" Lydia snorted, "He has never been angry with me, so I hate you more." "What? I didn't do anything to annoy you." D*mn! He had been in a bad mood, but his parents still made him so depressed. He was about to have a nervous breakdown. "John is not in a good mood, and I feel sad. You're the one who provoked him, so I  hate you." James took a deep breath, "I..." Before he could finish his words, Lydia waved at him impatiently as if she was shooing flies, "Alright! If you have anything to say, go ahead and tell your father. I don't want to hear it." "I'll go up first." "Okay." Lydia nodded with a smile, "Brat, go and accept your punishment!" James was speechless. ...... In fact, when James received the phone call from John, he had guessed why John was looking for him. When he returned to Lu Mansion, he didn't think about how to explain to John. Anyway, he had done that and it was a waste of effort to explain. Besides, John was not so easy to fool. What was the point of worrying so much? He couldn't even care about himself. How could he have time to think about something else? "Dad, are you looking for me?" Pushing the door open, James said with a calm face. John was sitting in the chair behind the desk. Hearing this, he raised his head and took a meaningful look at James, and then nodded with a frown. Of course, his face was not kind and pleasant. James raised his eyebrows slightly as he walked to the chair opposite John and sat down. As soon as he sat down, John said unpleasantly, "Did I allow you to sit?" James glanced at John and felt a bit helpless. So, was John not going to let him sit down? "I'm a little tired." He had sat down. How embarrassing would it be if he stood up again? Moreover, if he really stood up, he would like a primary school student who was being scolded by his father. He was not a primary school student! "Tired?" John heard this and felt even angrier, "Aren't you ashamed to say that? Look at what you've done!" James was in a bad mood. Hearing these words, he said indifferently, "What's wrong?" "You..." John was extremely mad. He raised his hand and threw the documents he was reading to James, "Are you stupid? I handed Lu Enterprises over to you not because I wanted you to make troubles!" He was a businessman, and he would only do things that were beneficial for himself and the company.  James steadily took the documents and placed them on the desk without even having a look. "Chao Company is developing on their own, and they didn't provoke you. What do you have to do this?" John stood up in fury, pointed at James's nose, and roared, "I never meddled in what you did before, but what are you doing at this time? Ah? Do you know how much money we have lost on this deal?"  James knitted his eyebrows tightly and pursed his thin lips, but did not say anything. "Three hundred million dollars! Do you want to piss me off?" James lowered his eyes and felt extremely unhappy, but it was not because of John. Although he was angry, he knew clearly what he was doing. He had estimated the loss of the company in his heart in order to aim at Chao Company, and he knew that he would lose lots of money. However, it took a large sum of money to buy their shares forcibly and cut off the source of their supply, as well as to rope in and bribe their business partners.  But... he chose to do what he wanted. What could he do? He was really unhappy. On the one hand, he hated Theodore. He loved Elizabeth, but Elizabeth loved Theodore, so he could not let Theodore get what he wanted. On the other hand, he was just thinking that if Theodore lost everything and he no longer had the ability to let Elizabeth live a good life, would Elizabeth stop thinking about him? That was why he did so. His means... were a little shameless indeed, but he really couldn't find another better way to relieve his annoyance and make Elizabeth only love him in her heart. He just loved Elizabeth too much and was afraid of losing her. He was not wrong. If Theodore lost the ability to compete with him, he would have no worries in the future, wouldn't he? Three hundred million dollars couldn't be compared with Elizabeth at all! Who wasn't selfish in this world? Everyone was thinking for themselves. If he couldn't keep her by his side, what did he need so much money for? Wasn't he just a poor man? "It's just three hundred million dollars, and it's not a big deal for our family," James said lazily.  Hearing this, John felt that he was about to die out of anger. How could James say that? What a b*stard!  John went berserk. Without thinking, he grabbed the phone on the table and threw it at James. James lowered his head. He didn't pay attention to it, and the phone hit him on the forehead. He felt a little painful and looked at the mobile phone on the ground in a daze. Then he looked up at John, who was behind the desk and thought, "F*ck, the customized mobile phone is really heavy. It hurts me a lot." But he didn't want to reach out to touch his forehead, nor did he get angry. He just sat on the chair.  John regretted it the moment he threw out the phone. Seeing James's bleeding forehead, he felt a little guilty, but he was too embarrassed to ask James if he was all right. James smiled faintly, "Dad, you haven't beaten me for many years, but you're still strong." John pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before he said, "On the first day you took over Lu Enterprises, what did I say to you?" "As a businessman, interest is the most important thing." "Fortunately, you still remember it!" John calmed down and then asked, "So how can you purchase Chao Company? Huh?" Although James was reckless this time, as his father, he knew him well. He was angry with James because James didn't care about the consequences, but he knew that James wouldn't do this for no reason. Thinking of this, he sighed, "You have been in charge of Lu Enterprises for several years and have been doing a good job. Why do you suddenly want to purchase Chao Company?"
