Chapter 1603
Xavier was envious of Alyssa. If only he could marry Jasper too!
“Ahem. That's unnecessary." Alyssa's voice softened. "| didn't date you to make you my human shield. | mean, you've done thata few times, but you're only human. Don't risk your life for me. You'll only break my heart."
Heart racing, Jasper grinned widely. At that moment, he'd die for Alyssa.He said to her, "Lyse, I've finished the lunch you delivered to me."Then, he embarrassedly turned away. Breathing heavily, he croaked, "Can | enjoy ‘supper’ tonight?"
Meanwhile, the Schmidt Group was in deep trouble. The Tsulu government, provoked by the deaths, had officially prosecuted thelocal employees in charge of the demolition. On top of that, the government requested an astronomical amount of compensationfrom the company.
Aware that the Schmidts were one of the four esteemed families in Cyrris, the Tsulu government extorted a three-billion-dollarpayment from the Schmidt Group.
The government couldn't care less for the three deaths. However, they were more concerned by Josh's decision to demolish asite with centuries of history and architecture. The government could make the company pay a dear price for every single brickand tile it destroyed.
The Tsulu government had the audacity to make ridiculous demands for another reason. They banked on the Schmidt Group'sattempt to cover up the matter for its reputation and thus had to accept any condition.

Now, the group was forced to paythree billion dollars for compensation on top of the initial development cost. Putting aside the talk on the group's financial abilityto withstand the blow, such an incident had already made them the laughingstock of the industry.

The suspension wasn't the harshest punishment Josh could have faced as the culprit behind the demolition. It paled incomparison to the jail sentence he managed to evade.
After the board members left, the father and son got into a huge fight in the meeting room. Blinded by rage, Victor hit Josh on thehead with an ashtray, causing the latter to bleed from the head.
Grimacing in pain, Josh pressed his tie to stop the bleeding on his head. He then scurried out of themeeting room with a tail between his legs. There, he happened to run into Jameson.
Jameson examined Josh with a smile. Then, he suggested, "Josh, you look badly injured. Want me to call the ambulance foryou?"
Jameson's bright smile was a stark contrast to Josh's misery.
