Chapter 340 No One Can Leave!
Actually, when Charles saw Savannah, Cameron, and the others, he had already guessed what was happening.
However, he also knew that since James dared to call him, it meant James was ready to expose his identity.
So Charles ignored Laura and the others and respectfully called out to James, "Mr. Smith."
This was the first time Charles had addressed James this way in front of so many people, but he also knew it might be the last time.
To put it bluntly, James was just a poor student who, by a stroke of luck, inherited the old chairman's estate.
But when it came to cunning, James was no match for Savannah and Matthew.
After all, children who grow up in big families are bound to be more scheming than ordinary people.
When everyone present heard Charles call out "Mr. Smith," they were all stunned.
Almost no one present didn't know who Charles was or his status and position.
But now, seeing Charles treat James with such respect, even a fool could see that James's background was beyond their imagination.
Of course, the most shocked were probably the members of the Hall Family.
Conrad had already guessed that James's background might be complicated, but he never dreamed it would be this terrifying!
Laura looked at James in shock, thinking that James and Charles's relationship was just because James had saved Charles, and Charles was grateful.
But Charles's attitude towards James was far from a simple benefactor relationship!
'Could James really be a rich heir? Has he been lying to me all along?'
Laura looked at James in disbelief, her heart full of shock and doubt.
For a moment, the entrance of the restaurant fell silent, and everyone stared in amazement at James and Charles.
"Mr. Smith, how do you plan to handle today's situation?" Charles asked James softly.
"Not everyone is here yet. Let's wait a bit longer," James replied calmly.
"Alright!" Charles nodded and walked behind James.
The bodyguards Charles brought also stood behind James, their presence no less imposing than Savannah and Cameron's group.
Savannah looked at James with a smile and said, "James, do you think it's necessary to wait any longer? You've already lost."
"I've lost, but I don't want to lose too badly. I'm still the old chairman's heir, and I still have the power to deal with you. Just wait for the show!" James replied expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Savannah's eyes flashed with tension, and she suddenly stood up and shouted at James, "James, what are you planning to do?"
"You'll find out soon enough," James said calmly.
Savannah's plan today was simple: use Laura to provoke James and make him call Charles out.
This way, James's identity would be exposed, and he would lose his inheritance rights.
But Savannah had no intention of going down with James.
"Since Mr. Wilson has personally stepped in, I'll give you this face. Let's call it a day. I'm not in the mood to play with you anymore!" Savannah, fearing James might do something crazy, wanted to retreat.
After all, she had achieved her goal today and saw no need to stay and continue the confrontation with James.
So, after saying this, Savannah turned to leave.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's not over yet!" James called out expressionlessly.
Now that James's identity was exposed, meaning he lost his inheritance rights, he wouldn't let Savannah and her group leave so easily.
"James, what do you mean?" Savannah turned back to James, her expression furious.
"I mean, none of you are leaving today. Got it?" James replied coldly.
"James, don't forget, you're about to lose your inheritance rights. Then you'll just be an ordinary person, and killing you would be easier than squashing an ant. So you'd better leave yourself some room, or you might end up losing the inheritance and your life!" Savannah said to James through gritted teeth.
According to Savannah's original plan, she intended to use Laura to threaten James, make him call Charles and the others over, and then force James to reveal his identity in front of Laura.
At that point, it would be over.
After all, in Savannah's previous investigations, James was not a tough person. She thought that after saving someone, James wouldn't continue to entangle with her.
But to Savannah's surprise, James's current behavior was completely beyond her expectations. He had no intention of ending this matter so easily.
So Savannah began to threaten James, making him understand his current situation.
"End up losing my life?" James looked at Savannah and sneered, then said calmly, "You're right. Without this inheritance, I might just be an ordinary person, or even less. But I'm still the heir now. You set me up, made me lose everything, and now you want to walk away? Do you think that's possible?"
Savannah looked at James in front of her and sneered, "So what if you're still the heir? If I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?"
Charles brought less than twenty bodyguards, but Cameron brought thirty, all elite. If a fight broke out, James's side wouldn't stand a chance.
"Let's go!" Savannah shouted expressionlessly and turned to leave.
But just as Savannah turned, the roar of engines sounded from across the street.
"Anyone Mr. Smith wants to keep, won't be able to leave!" Terry shouted expressionlessly, leading fifty bodyguards out of the Range Rovers, creating a shocking scene.
