A vicious look flashed across his eyes. “It doesn’t matter who Lyse gets together with. I will give them my blessings. Jeremy is the only exception.”
Winston started to feel light-headed. He couldn’t control the tremor in his hands. “Jameson, are you threatening me right now? You’re asking me to sacrifice my daughter’s happiness in exchange for my own life?
“You’re being too arrogant! So what if I had a stroke? I don’t care even if I had cancer all over my body. I will not break Lyse’s marriage up just for the sake of living a few extra years! I will not let her despise her father for her entire life!
“Neil! See him off!”
Neil walked over with a gloomy expression on his face. “This way, Mr. Schmidt.”
Jameson sneered and swept up the medicine box from the table. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Winston, who was now looking pale.
“Uncle Winston, I was only doing that for Lyse’s sake. You will only end up harming your beloved daughter by pampering her.”
“Mr. Schmidt, please leave right now!” Even Neil, who was usually even-tempered, was enraged.
“As a decent human being, you should think about yourself a bit more. What goes around comes around. There will come a day when you will regret rejecting me today.”
Jameson turned around. He forced a smile on his face. “When that day comes, I might not even give this to you even if you beg me to.”
Upon saying that, he stormed out.
The moment the door closed, Winston couldn’t hold it together anymore. He was quivering all over as if all the muscles in his body were twitching. He started seeing stars, and his speech became unclear.
“Neil… Neil. Meds!”
Jameson had only taken a few steps out of the office when he bumped into Alyssa and Jeremy. Tension rose in the corridor.
“What are you doing here, Jameson?” Alyssa was alarmed. She glared at him fiercely.
“I heard that Uncle Winston has been discharged from the hospital. I brought a gift specially for him. I wanted to check up on him.”
Jameson wiped away the sinister look on his face. He put on a sincere expression instead. At that moment, he looked like a schizophrenic.
He continued, “Furthermore, I am now the president of the Schmidt Group. I am in charge of the Schmidt Group moving forward. I came to see Uncle Winston so that we can plan for the future.”
Jeremy lowered his eyes. He spotted the medicine box that was in Jameson’s hands.
His chest tightened. All of a sudden, he felt that something was amiss.
“Check up on him? I’m sure that you had other motives. You only have bad intentions!”
Alyssa shot beams of hatred with her eyes. “If you value your life, bugger off as far away as you can! Also, the KS Group will never collaborate with the Schmidt Group!
“If you’re capable, you’d better watch over your family’s corporation well. Otherwise, I will take your corporation down!”
Upon saying that, Alyssa shoved him aside. She walked forward with Jeremy in tow.
Jameson’s back slammed into the icy wall. The impact was so strong that a pain shot through his heart.
“Dad!”
“Winston!”
The moment Alyssa and Jeremy walked into the room, they saw Winston lying on the couch. His face was scrunched up in pain. Neil was kneeling by his side. He was massaging Winston’s palms in order to help him relieve his pain.
“Mr. Benton! What’s going on? Dad was fine earlier. Why is his condition flaring up?” Alyssa sat by the couch. She held Winston’s icy hands in hers. Her heart ached for him as a lump rose in her throat.
“Lyse… I’m fine.” Winston saw that Alyssa had come. He lifted his spirits and smiled.
Alyssa’s eyes reddened. She was extremely worried. “You’re fine? Your face is even whiter than a Samoyed!”
Jeremy, Neil, and Winston were speechless.
The tense atmosphere became a little lighter.
Alyssa questioned angrily, “Jamiper came by earlier? Was he the one who caused this?”
Winston and Neil stayed silent.
“Winston, just now, I noticed that Jameson was carrying a medicine box with him. Did he use the medication as a means to threaten you?” Jeremy asked with a twinkle in his eye.
Neil blurted softly, “Yes, Mr. Jameson did bring the drug over. He also said that Mr. Taylor was only able to survive because of him. He came to strike a deal with Mr. Taylor. He promised Mr. Taylor that he would be able to have access to the medication in the future, but only if Mr. Taylor agreed to his proposal.
“Mr. Taylor was already feeling weak. Plus, he was provoked by someone like Mr. Jameson. He ended up like this because he reacted in fury. Fortunately, he took his medication on time. He has stabilized now.”
Alyssa probed, “What did Jameson propose?”
Winston gave Neil a sharp glare.
Thus, Neil gave a vague answer. “It was about business collaborations. The conditions he gave weren’t important. The important thing was that he was being imprudent. He was completely disrespectful!”
“That son of a bitch received a golden collar and thinks that he deserves to be so proud! What a shameless beast!”
Alyssa gave Winston’s hand a squeeze. “Dad, Jeremy and I bumped into him earlier. He put on an innocent look on his face and pretended to be nice to us.
“Don’t be afraid. We will solve the issue with your medication. You don’t have to listen to his rubbish. If he could get his hands on the medication, so can we!”
Winston fixed his eyes on Alyssa. She looked cute when she was angry. No sickness or pain could bother him now.
Indeed. For Lyse’s sake, he would strive to live for a few more years.
Jeremy exhaled deeply. He uttered, “Winston, Lyse. I have to make a call. I’ll be back.”
Jameson and Carl were at the underground parking lot. Jameson was walking toward his car. He had a glum expression on his face.
“Mr. Schmidt, Winston is such a hypocrite, isn’t he?”
Carl was behind Jameson. He insulted, “He got sick and is almost knocking at death’s door. Even though he’s already at this stage, he’s still refusing to accept your kindness. Sooner or later, he will come crying and begging you on his knees!”
“It’s fine even if he doesn’t beg me. I don’t want to be a bully to an elderly man who already has one foot in his grave.”
Jameson smirked and added, “Moreover, it doesn’t make any difference whether or not he uses this drug. He will just end up suffering in a different way.”
“Jameson.”
A deep and stern voice came from behind Jameson.
He stopped in his tracks and turned around.
Jeremy was standing a few steps away from him. He looked elegant and proud. His eyes were burning with rage. He was like an extremely handsome version of Hades.
Jameson’s gaze was cold and vicious. He pressed his pale lips together tightly.
Jeremy started advancing toward Jameson aggressively. Carl, the loyal subordinate that he was, stepped forward immediately.
He glowered at Jeremy.
“Mr. Walsh, this is Ms. Alyssa’s territory. Must you cause a scene right here? Aren’t you afraid that you’d put Mr. Taylor and Ms. Alyssa in a tight spot?”
Jeremy’s gaze was frosty and sharp. He said coldly, “Fuck off.”
“Please get in the car, Mr. Schmidt. I’ll deal with this here!”
Before Carl could do anything else, much to his surprise, he felt his arm go numb. Following that was a sharp pain that spread throughout his entire body. The world before his eyes started to spin.
“Oof!”
Jeremy looked frigid. He was standing firm. He simply grabbed Carl by the arm and twisted it.
Carl was then thrown in the air. His back landed hard on the ground. He yelled in pain. He couldn’t get himself back up.
Jeremy didn’t even blink. He stepped over Carl, who had curled up into a ball on the ground and continued heading toward Jameson.
Jameson felt his entire body tense up. The look on his face became overcast.
Step by step, Jeremy approached him. Just then, four of Schmidt Group’s bodyguards rushed over just in time. They shielded Jameson.
