Jacksonville was also an important stronghold for the Watson family in Middleton. If they lost Jacksonville, the Watson family would definitely not be able to maintain the status of a second-rate family in Middleton. More importantly, he had already pledged allegiance to Candace Nance. Candace Nance had also instructed him to keep the Chester Group out of Jacksonville. If he handed over Jacksonville, Candace Nance would definitely despise him. By then, he would have to bear the wrath of the entire Nance Group!
"Chris Shelby, you're dreaming!" Ben Watson retorted, "Even if I die, I won't hand over Jacksonville to you!"
"Oh, you won't hand it over?" Chris Shelby questioned, "Then I can't guarantee the safety of your son." With that, Chris Shelby gave a glance to Jake Johnson, who instantly understood and started to swing the whip in his hand.
"Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!"
"Ah!"
"Dad, save me! Save me!" Pan Watson was beaten senseless by Jake Johnson, his entire body writhing in agony. It had to be said that Jake Johnson was indeed a talent! He had only whipped Pan Watson a few times, but he was already getting into a rhythm.
Hearing the screams of his own son over the phone, Ben Watson's heart bled. Pan Watson was his only son and the future heir of the Watson family. How could he endure such suffering!
Chris Shelby laughed, "Mr. Watson, have you made up your mind yet? Are you really willing to watch your only son be beaten to death? Are you willing to see the Watson family line end, all for a broken piece of land?"
"Yes!" Jake Johnson replied, his face flushed with excitement. Damn it! It was exciting to work with the King of the East Coast! Even a powerful family like the Watson family had to bow their heads in front of Chris Shelby!
The next day, a bombshell news spread in Middleton. The head of the Watson family, Ben Watson, announced that the Watson family would surrender Jacksonville! All their properties in Jacksonville would be transferred to the Chester Group! This news shocked the whole Middleton! Everyone thought Ben Watson had gone mad. Was he giving up his family business?
In the Nance Group, Candace Nance was unusually furious! She smashed everything in her office that could be smashed!
