As the Clemons couple’s legal battles unfolded, Schmidt Group’s reputation took a nosedive, and the entire company began to display indications of internal turmoil.
Victor continued his hospitalization on the third day while Josh was called in by the prosecutor.
On the fourth day, Winston was cornered by the media when attending a meeting. He was asked about his views on the Schmidt family.
“Mr. Taylor, we heard that you have a close relationship with Mr. Victor. What’s your opinion on the
Schmidt family’s recent situation?”
Winston’s expression was cold, and he responded indifferently, “Mr. Victor and I were only business partners. Don’t let the tabloids mislead you.
“If you ask for my opinion, I can only say that when you make a mistake, you must admit it and accept the consequences. I hope the Schmidt family can learn from this lesson and not disappoint the public again.”
Victor happened to see this interview in the hospital. He was so angry that he lifted a chair and smashed the TV.
Days passed, and Alyssa and Jeremy took no further action.
As Alyssa expected, the usually calm Jameson couldn’t sit idly by.
Initially, he didn’t want to take action. But seeing that the storm was about to pass, he was afraid he would miss the opportunity if he remained idle.
That night, he arrived at the detention center with Carl to meet Daisy.
It had only been a few days since this once-pampered heiress became a prisoner. Yet she looked disheveled and miserable, no longer resembling a human.
Not only that, her face was bruised and swollen, indicating that even the female inmates couldn’t tolerate such a vile act of forcing women into prostitution.
“Daisy, it’s been a while. How have you been?”
With a contented smile, Jameson rested his chin on his hand, gazing at her through a perforated glass.
“Put away that hypocritical and nauseating face of yours, scumbag!” Daisy gritted her teeth.
Her eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, looking like a wolf ready to break out of the cage and bite off his throat.
“Don’t be too happy! Dad and Josh will get me out! When I get out, I’ll break your neck! Just wait!”
“Daisy, even at this point, you still have hope for those men? How naive.”
Jameson smiled mockingly. “If they wanted to save you, they would have taken action long ago. Why haven’t they made a move when you’re almost sentenced?
“If they don’t want to save you, fine. But you’re family. You’ve endured torment in those cells. Have they visited you? Have they made arrangements for someone to look after you in there? Can’t they do these things that are well within their capabilities for you?”
Smirking, he leaned back and pushed up his glasses. “In the end, it’s still me, your dearest little brother, who cares about you.”
Daisy’s whole body surged with a chill. A complex mix of emotions¡ªconfusion, grievance, pain, and resentment¡ªtwisted her features.
Jameson was right. With Victor’s and Josh’s abilities, why couldn’t they make her life a bit easier?
They displayed no concern whatsoever. They planned to sacrifice her and abandon her completely!
How could they do that?
“Damn it! They’re all scumbags! Animals!” Daisy screamed. A female police officer rushed forward, pressing her onto the table.
Jameson smiled inwardly, but he wore a worried expression on his face. “Since we can’t change anything, why not let me be the one to channel your anger? What do you think?”
Daisy’s face was twisted with a hideous expression. She stared fixedly at Jameson’s delicate yet detestable face.
“Help me? Haha! They’re animals! But Jameson, aren’t you one as well? Yes… You’re worse. You’re a damn viper. You’re even more vicious!”
Jameson showed no signs of anger. Instead, his smile deepened. “I may not be a saint, but even beasts show some affection for their offspring. I have always been reluctant to be too harsh on my family. So, I want to help you, Daisy.
“Also, besides me, who else cares about you? In this place where not even a glimpse of daylight is visible, do you believe people regard you as a member of the Schmidt family?”
Seeing Daisy’s strong resistance to his so-called “help”, Jameson dealt a lethal blow.
“Daisy, think carefully. Your current miserable situation is all because of whom?”
Daisy’s anger surged. She shouted hysterically, “It’s the Taylor family! They’re retaliating against me.
That bitch Alyssa is definitely involved!”
Jameson smirked, shaking his head. “After all, you went after Winston’s daughter. He spared your life for the sake of the decades of friendship between our two families. But isn’t the root of all this caused by David?”
“David…” Daisy’s mind buzzed.
She had been thinking only about the Taylor family these days. She had forgotten that coward.
“The Taylor family sought retaliation because you fell for David’s instigation. If he hadn’t let his dick do the thinking and be so arrogant, you and Timothy would have been living days of honor and glory.
“He’s wrecked it all. Since the press conference to your arrest, did he step up to speak a word in your defense?
“He went along with the flow, letting you take the fall while he continued living comfortably under the protection of the Schmidt family. Can you swallow this humiliation? Even I find it hard to watch, Daisy.”
Logic could convince, but only emotion could motivate.
At this moment, Daisy quieted down, showing signs that she had begun to think. Nevertheless, the bitterness in her eyes became even more apparent. “What do you want to do specifically?”
“The success of our collaboration hinges on the sincerity you bring to the table.” Jameson elegantly crossed his legs. Now, the initiative was in his hands.
Daisy’s eyes turned a terrifying shade of red. Between gritted teeth, she said, “I want David… to die!
“Death is meaningless. If he dies, it’s all over. He won’t suffer.”
Jameson suddenly approached the glass with a sinister smile on his face. “You need to make him utterly miserable. Ensure he despises you every day he’s alive yet remains helpless. That would be satisfying.”
“I have… David’s dirt. It’s in the encrypted folder on my laptop in the study. The password is¡ª”
“No need for the password.”
Satisfied with the result, Jameson stood up leisurely. He disdainfully looked at Daisy’s face, which was filled with hatred. “These so-called encryptions are nonexistent in my eyes.”
When Jameson came out of the detention center, Carl immediately greeted him.
Jameson lazily stretched out his hands. Seeing that, Carl hurriedly squeezed hand sanitizer into his hands and sprayed air freshener all around him.
“It’s smelly and disgusting there. Not a place for humans.”
Frowning, Jameson kept rubbing his hands, revealing his mysophobia side again. “But it seems suitable for a maggot like Daisy.”
“You’ve already shown her enough respect by coming to see her.”
Carl tentatively asked, “Mr. Schmidt, will that crazy bitch… work with you?”
“I’ve stepped in. How could it not work?” Jameson raised his eyebrows arrogantly.
“Then let me congratulate you for removing another nuisance in advance.”
Carl smiled with utmost sincerity. “Once David falls, Josh will be an easy target. By then, Victor will have no one to rely on other than you. The entire Schmidt family will be yours.”
“I hope so.”
Squinting his eyes, Jameson raised his hand toward the vast black sky, and a complex emotion surged in his gaze. “I was given a second life. I just hope not to disappoint his expectations.”
“By the way, Mr. Schmidt, I just received news that your private plane is ready.”
“Although it took quite some time, it was worth the wait.”
Jameson lightly pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, a glint of coldness crossing his eyes. “Contact Inigo and tell him everything is ready. He and his brothers can hit the road anytime.”
Jameson’s luxury car moved steadily in the direction of The Millennium.
As he thought about the upcoming series of major events and his grand ambitions for the future, he couldn’t help but smile with excitement.
Everything was under his control now¡ªexcept for Alyssa.
