Chapter 294 Apologize to Irvin
Isolde and Joe's faces lit up with joy upon hearing Thalassa's words.
They never expected that James, whom they always considered a loser, could land a job with that considerable salary.
As long as James could get this job, he would be worthy of Laura, and they would naturally be very happy to accept James as their son-in-law.
Thalia, on the other hand, looked at Isolde with envy and couldn't help but softly exclaim, "Who would have thought that James was a hidden gem!"
However, Thalassa's next words instantly brought Isolde and Joe's hearts crashing down. "But James directly refused Miss Greer's offer!"
"James, are you crazy? If not for Miss Greer taking a liking to you, how could you ever make that much money?" Isolde shouted at James, visibly agitated.
"Mom, if James doesn't want to go, that's his choice. We have no right to force him!"
Laura shouted, somewhat displeased.
"What does he have to be displeased about? Does he plan to deliver takeout for the rest of his life and be a loser forever?" Isolde's emotions were a bit out of control as she yelled.
Conrad lightly coughed, signaling Isolde to stop talking.
Isolde understood Conrad's meaning and quickly shut her mouth.
Conrad glanced at James indifferently and then said expressionlessly, "James has his own ideas. If he dared to refuse Jessa's offer today, it means he has confidence in himself and isn't afraid of not achieving anything in the future!"
"That's true. Since James could gain Jessa's favor, he will surely gain others' favor in the future!"
Laura's uncle Jerald responded softly.
It must be said that Conrad and Jerald had a very good attitude towards James. At the very least, they never looked down on James because of his background.
"Dorian, is Irvin angry because James refused Jessa's offer?"
Gino didn't care about James and Jessa's matter; he just wanted to know what was going on between Dorian and Irvin.
"James refusing Miss Greer's offer is his freedom, but couldn't he have been a bit more polite? Miss Greer and Irvin made concessions for James in every way, but James was always aggressive and indifferent," Dorian shouted through gritted teeth.
He added, furious, "In the end, Jessa had no choice but to agree that James wouldn't work at the ArtScape Center. But when Jessa asked for a piece of sheet music from James, he didn't even agree to that small request and just walked away!"
Everyone turned James upon hearing this.
It was understandable for James to refuse Jessa, as he had the right to make his own choices. But they didn't expect James to refuse such a small request for a piece of sheet music from Jessa!
Wasn't this clearly disrespecting Irvin?
Offending Irvin and Jessa in Willowbrook was not a good thing!
"You should have seen Mr. Hays' expression at that time; he was almost furious with James. And Mr. Hays' attitude towards Dorian also became cold. All of Dorian's previous efforts were in vain, all because of James!" Thalassa shouted, adding fuel to the fire.
At this moment, everyone finally understood what was going on.
Gino looked at James with a hint of malice in his eyes because he felt that James had ruined his son's bright future.
What a great opportunity it was to get to know someone like Irvin!
Dorian's mother was trembling with anger, but she didn't speak because Conrad was still there.
"Conrad, what is this all about? I finally got to know Irvin, and now it's all messed up by James. Irvin must have a grudge against me now, and that real estate project will definitely have no follow-up!" Dorian shouted at Conrad, somewhat angrily.
"Yes, Dad, you have to give Dorian an explanation for today's matter!" Dorian's mother echoed Dorian's words.
"Jerald, what do you think about today's matter?" Conrad turned to look at his younger brother Jerald and asked.
Jerald was an upright person and had been working in the government for many years, so he had a lot of experience in handling such matters.
Jerald started, "From an objective point of view, James did go a bit too far today. After all, Dorian worked hard for so long, and it was all ruined by this trivial matter, which is quite unfortunate!"
He paused for a moment and then continued, "But James isn't from Willowbrook, so it's normal for him not to know Mr. Hays, and it's forgivable!"
Jerald's words were neutral, not offending either side.
"Dad, what are you talking about? What do you mean by a trivial matter? Whether James goes to work for Jessa is his choice. Why should he give up his freedom for Dorian?" Nancy shouted at Jerald, somewhat dissatisfied.
Jerald replied calmly, "I'm not saying James should work at Jessa's Art Center, but giving the sheet music to Miss Greer shouldn't be a difficult thing, right?"
He continued, "I think the best solution is for James to refuse Miss Greer's offer but to give the sheet music to Miss Greer to save Mr. Hays' face. This way, the relationship between both parties can be eased, Irvin won't hold a grudge against James, and James won't be going against his own will!"
"That sheet music was left to James by his mother. Why should he give it to an outsider?" Nancy shouted with wide eyes.
"That sheet music was left to James by his mother?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing Nancy's words.
At this moment, they finally understood what was going on.
At this moment, the eldest brother Zachariah stood up, clearing his throat before speaking, "Alright, everyone stop arguing. How about this, I'll take James to the Hays Family later, and James can apologize to Irvin and Jessa and explain the sheet music situation."
"The Hays Family and our Hall Family have been friends for generations. I think once James apologizes, Irvin won't make things difficult for James anymore, and Dorian's problem should also be resolved!" he added.
"Zachariah's suggestion is good. As long as James goes to apologize to Mr. Hays, Mr. Hays shouldn't hold it against me anymore!" Dorian nodded in satisfaction and then turned to look at James, sneering, "But I wonder if someone is willing to go and apologize!"
Hearing Dorian's words, everyone turned to look at James, waiting for his response.
