In a panic, Carl pleaded, “Ms. Altman is the masterpiece you’ve cultivated yourself¡ªyour most satisfactory work. It’s not easy to find another woman with her talent and abilities who’ll be this devoted to you.
“Also, Ms. Altman has left a favorable impression on Axel. He was even willing to be alone with her. We’ve come a long way to get here. We’re almost there!”
At this, Jameson’s cold gaze softened slightly.
“When Axel returns home, let Ms. Altman find another chance to get close to him. When he lets his guard down completely and falls for our trap, there will be plenty of opportunities to get rid of him.”
Amber’s heartache intensified. Tears mixed with blood rolled down her cheeks.
Trembling, she opened her palm and saw a reflection of Axel’s wicked grin in the teardrops in her hand.
Narrowing his eyes, Jameson seemed to take in Carl’s words. He ignored the woman kneeling on the ground and strode away.
Carl sighed as he watched Jameson’s retreating figure. He then reached out to help Amber up.
“No need… I can stand up on my own.” Amber wiped away her tears fiercely, struggling to stand up.
“Ms. Altman, Mr. Schmidt is in a bad mood these days. It’s best for you not to appear in front of him. Avoid him if you can,” Carl said helplessly.
“D-Did something happen?” Amber wasn’t concerned for Jameson. She just needed to have everything under control to protect herself.
“Sigh! Mr. Schmidt went to see Mr. Justin and found out that Mr. Justin sent the drug that Mr. Schmidt failed to deliver to the Taylors. All these while, Mr. Justin had never interfered with Mr. Schmidt and Ms. Alyssa’s business.
“Now, at this juncture, he decided to show up as the good guy. Wouldn’t this paint Mr. Schmidt, the one who used the drug to threaten Mr. Winston, as a petty man?
“Ms. Alyssa would hate and despise him even more. Mr. Justin is throwing Mr. Schmidt under the bus to make himself look good. Mr. Schmidt had every right to be outraged!”
Comparisons are odious.
Jameson had a well-thought-out plan, but Justin’s interference had painted him like a fool.
“Mr. Justin is not doing this for Mr. Jeremy but for Ms. Alyssa.”
Carl sighed, “Mr. Schmidt had suspected Mr. Justin had feelings for Ms. Alyssa multiple times. From the looks of things, he is ready to cause trouble. How could he not panic?”
Amber smiled sadly.
Now, she realized¡ªhe was eager to send her to Justin like a token to stop Justin from having any ideas toward Alyssa.
Suddenly, she respected and admired Alyssa deeply.
Alyssa was an intelligent lady borne of riches. She was childhood friends with Jameson. Previously, when Jameson pursued her, she didn’t even fall for him. Instead, she exposed his true colors.
Amber wanted to be like Alyssa, a woman with a clear consciousness and mental strength.
If only she could be like her.
When Carl returned to Jameson, the man had almost dismantled his entire luxurious room.
Jameson exhausted his energy. He was panting as he slumped on the red velvet couch. He tugged his tie aggressively.
“Why isn’t there any news from the people we sent to spy on the Taylors? Such a useless bunch! Aren’t they just asking for it?” “Mr. Schmidt, please calm down. Our men are working around the clock and monitoring the Taylors closely. If we dig deep enough, we will find something valuable in no time!”
Carl’s phone rang as he finished.
He took his phone and looked at his WhatsApp.
Instantly, Carl’s eyes widened like his world had been shaken. He ran to Jameson and handed the phone to him. His hands were shaking terribly. “M-Mr. Schmidt, your chance to get back at them is here.
Look!”
Jameson frowned in annoyance and lazily glanced at the phone.
The next second, he abruptly jumped up from his seat. He snatched the phone and stared at it intently. He kept zooming into the picture on the screen to confirm the identity of the two individuals kissing.
“This can’t be wrong, Mr. Schmidt!”
Carl’s eyes widened. “If we publicized this groundbreaking information, it would cause a huge commotion. By then, you would have successfully avenged yourself for all the pain you went through.”
A malicious and excited glint slowly grew in Jameson’s eyes. He suddenly laughed so manically that he was crying.
After a long while, he handed the phone back to Carl. He leisurely sat on the couch again and poured himself a glass of red wine to celebrate.
“What’s the rush? Even if we want to handle this, we shouldn’t get our hands dirty.”
Carl didn’t understand what he meant. “What are you saying?”
Jameson smirked devilishly, cooking up a scheme in his mind, “Recently, we have a frustrated person who needs this chance to turn things around more than we do. Why don’t we give this to him?”
Justin kept to his word. Jeremy received the drugs after one week.
Jeremy, who was hosting an important meeting in the Walsh Group, was on edge.
When the meeting ended, he sprung up from his seat and darted out the doors like lightning.
The management was left at their seats, exchanging glances.
“What is wrong with Mr. Walsh?”
“Haha! I think he had to relieve himself. The meeting was so long. I wouldn’t have held it in if I were him. His kidneys are such champions!”
“Not to mention his bladder too!”
Today, the KS Group had an important board meeting that required Winston to attend.
However, Jameson’s drugs ran out, and Julien was taken away by the Lovelace family. So, Winston grew more helpless.
The effects of the drugs had worn off. He started feeling his body weakening. He couldn’t stop yawning. His nose was runny, his head was spinning, and his vision was blurry. He didn’t even manage to eat dinner last night because he had fallen into a deep slumber.
He considered his physical condition and was afraid he couldn’t get up in the morning. So, he pushed this meeting to the afternoon.
Even so, the consecutive alarms were useless. Winston only forced himself to wake up after Neil, Alyssa, and the rest tried to call for him.
“Mr. Winston?”
“Dad!”
“Winston!”
Winston opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Alyssa, Mandy, and Neil looking at him by his bedside.
“W-What time is it now?”
Alyssa’s heart wrenched when she heard her father’s frail voice. She held his icy hand firmly.
“It’s almost noon. Winston, you haven’t eaten breakfast, so you shouldn’t skip lunch either. Your body will not be able to take it.” Mandy looked at Winston’s gaunt face painfully.
When Winston got up, his head was suddenly spinning. He collapsed to the ground.
“Winston!”
Sweat filled Alyssa’s head. She quickly held his father’s wrist, looking for a pulse.
She could sense her father’s restlessness.
However, she wasn’t Julien nor a neurologist.
She was skilled medically, but she specialized in surgical procedures. At this point, her hands were tied.
“Dad, you must go to the hospital now!” Alyssa frowned. Her voice was hoarse from the panic.
“I’m not going,” Winston declined firmly.
“Then, cancel your board meeting!”
“No!” Winston pulled his hand away suddenly. He gritted his teeth, unwilling to resign. “I would crawl to that meeting if I have to!”
