Female NovelThe conversation in the study continued.
Winston came from a wealthy background and had sons and daughters, loved ones, and friends.Everyone all across the world admired him for it.
Yet the only person he could speak his heartfelt thoughts to was Neil, who'd been by his side sincehe was in his youth.
"Things aren't so easy to handle right now, Neil,” Winston said.
His brows were knit tight as he shook his head lightly. "Jonah had been the one dealing with thecompany when Lyse was overseas. Frankly, I could tell how difficult it was for him.
"When Lyse came back, Jonah gave her the position right away. He must've known he had reachedhis limits. He most probably has found it extremely difficult to further improve himself. What's more,Jonah and Silas aren't ...
Winston hesitated slightly as he spoke.
Neil remained silent, though there was a shift in his eyes.
"So after some consideration, Lyse is indeed the most suitable heir out of everyone else. I'm notfond of Jasper Beckett, but I can't stop Lyse from loving him. Though Jasper isn't in the best positionin his family, given he still has an elder brother who might undermine him at any given moment, hereally is sincere toward Lyse.
"Jasper is meticulous in his thinking and takes decisive action. He reminds me of myself in my youth.If he really couldn't find footing in his family in the future, having him come through the backdoorand be a son-in-law would still be a great boon to KS Group and Lyse."
Winston had always been the kind to think things thoroughly prior to making a decision. He'd evenpaved out Jasper's future for him.
Neil smiled lightly, "You overthink, Mr. Taylor. Based on Mr. Jasper's capabilities, I don't think he'd begoing through the backdoor. He's quite competent, and given his military background, I doubt he'dbecome a kept man ..."
"I was just phrasing it out. It'd be good if Jasper could stand strong in his family, but if he can't, hecan help Lyse buy out the Beckett Group. What a treat that would be!" Winston waggled hiseyebrows. "Think of it as Alyssa's betrothal gift."
Neil was left speechless.
Outside the door, Alyssa ground her teeth together, muttering, "You're so bold, Winston. Why don'tyou make yourself emperor of the city already!”
"But that's for later. As of now, I need to help Lyse deal with the troubles she’s facing out in theworld if she and Jasper are to be together. Victor saved my life, this I won't deny. But if thisengagement with Jameson is called off, the Schmidts will forever become our enemies,” Winstonconcluded.
The more he thought about this issue, the stronger a headache he felt. "We've permanentlyantagonized the Harper family after the horseraces last time.novelbin
"Javier Beckett has never gotten along with me. Even if we have Newton's support, he's old now.How much longer can he keep the Beckett Group under control?
"We might end up being antagonized by both the Harper family and Beckett family when weadvance into Solana City. If the Schmidt family sides with them, KS Group will really be in hot soup.”Neil's furrowed brows never relaxed.
Winston was right. The Taylor family was unopposed in Belbanks. But if the three families in SolanaCity allied together to oppose them, they'd be hyenas threatening their pride of lions. Alyssa wasstill young. How could she handle such a great enemy?
Furthermore, the families were more like savage pumas and leopards when the going got tough."So having Taty marry into the Schmidt family is the best option right now," Winston said.
A low drone began buzzing in Alyssa's ears.
"Jameson is quite visionary. He may not be as sharp as Jasper, but he knows to take stern action.After such a long time of getting to know him, I'd say he's more capable than Josh," Winston saidwith a faint smile. "It's still hard to tell who'll be the one to become head of the Schmidt family inthe future.”
"Mr. Jameson really is capable. He was able to get in Mr. Victor's good graces within a year afterbeing exiled to Kontina for 15 years. Mr. Victor even wanted Mr. Jameson to marry Ms. Alyssa. Onecan see how highly Mr. Victor thinks of Mr. Jameson," Neil said.
"So it's not a loss to have Taty marry him. That way, our family relations will be closer. Lyse will havea sister in the Schmidt family to rely on when she takes over KS Group.”
"But Ms. Tatiana likes Mr. Sean ... "
Winston immediately grew angry. "Spencer is an old fool for letting his eldest son get up to nogood! Simon switched to kissing Javier Beckett's ass all because he thinks he has some capabilitiesto show for it. He's worked with the Beckett family several times now to oppose Lyse!
"The Lynch family is not powerful. Yet, they won't quietly stay put. I heard that Spencer's wife wasdispleased when she heard Taty wanted to be with Sean. Our family is stronger than hers in everyway, yet she dares to look down on Taty? Hmph!"
"You want Taty to marry that sly hypocrite Jameson? How shameless are you?"
