Female Novel
Chapter 1948
Winston's voice boomed through the hall. "Even if you lack business acumen, Mr. Schmidt, a little observation goes a long wayat your age. Can't you tell my daughter and Mr. Jasper are ride-or-die with Landon?"
Jameson was caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events. He remained silent, his face pale with embarrassment.
Winston's recovery and return from overseas to stand by the Harper family spoke volumes. No one would dare to look down onLandon anymore.
“Let's go, Jimmy," Victor said tersely, realizing it wasn't wise to prolong the confrontation with his former ally. With a darkenedexpression, he strode out of the hall.
Jameson adjusted his glasses and trailed after Victor.
As they departed, Winston called out without looking back, his voice carrying a tone of admonishment. "Even if you wished toappear sincere, you should have ensured you did it properly and spared yourself the embarrassment. Instead, you chose tocreate a scene at someone else's funeral, deceiving everyone with your falsehoods. Who will want to befriend you or dobusiness with you after this?"
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.Victor gritted his teeth in silent fury before exiting with an indignant huff.
Victor and Jameson returned to the car in silence, their efforts at the funeral having come to naught. Once inside, Victorunleashed his frustration on Jameson.
"You're so ill-tempered! Cornelius is dead, for heaven's sake. What was the point of saying those things? Look at what you'vedone. You've invited trouble and embarrassed us!"
“Hmm, have you conveniently forgotten, Dad?" Jameson's tone was icy as he suppressed his anger. "You were the one whoinsisted on attending the funeral. If you had listened to me and stayed away, we wouldn't have faced humiliation at Winston'shands. From where I'm standing, you're the one who brought this upon us. If | hadn't intervened, Landon could have easilybested you."
"Jameson! How could you be so reckless?"
Victor trembled with anger, meeting Jameson's cold gaze with his own. He managed to quell his outburst, only gnashing his teethin rage.
"No matter how many times we have this conversation," Victor spat, "you remain a disappointment! You can't even handle awoman! If you'd secured Alyssa, none of this would be happening! The Schmidt Group has now outshined the Beckett Group. Ifyou had become Winston's son-in-law, we might have even acquired the Harper Group. Landon would have been left withnowhere to stand!"
Like father, like son. Victor and Jameson, though having different personalities, shared a talent for inflicting emotional wounds.
