The guards stood firm. “Sorry, Mr. Schmidt. You can’t go in.”
Another guard chimed in, “Please don’t make this hard for us. We’re just following orders.”
“What did you say?” Jameson fumed.
“You ought to be aware of my close ties with Mr. Winston. He will be displeased when he finds out thatyou refused me entry.”
“Who’s attempting to intimidate our guards in my dad’s name? That’s audacious,” Axel mocked.
Jameson trembled upon hearing the familiar voice. He looked at Axel and was stunned to see Jaspertagging along.
Jameson’s assistant, Carl, was equally shocked. “M-Mr. Schmidt, why is Jasper Beckett here?”
Jasper cast a sharp and intimidating look at Jameson, who squirmed under his gaze.
“Oh, look who it is,” Axel continued boldly. “I overheard your tone just now. If people had heard you,they might have thought that one of my dad’s sons was causing a scene here.”
