"Winston, where''s Lyse?" Unwilling to give up, Victor craned his neck to look outside.
"No need to look. Lyse is injured and can''t sit for a long time to talk to guests. I asked her to rest at
home. She won''t being tonight," Winston replied indifferently.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
"Winston, how can you do this? You promised to bring Lysest time. How can you go back on your
words? Besides, we''re not just guests. We''re going to be family.” Victor kept chattering away, but he
was confused.
Winston sat down. "If you truly care about Lyse, you would let her recover properly and not bother
her."
Before the horse racing event, Victor had a private meeting with Winston. They had a great
conversation, and Winston really liked Jameson. He had promised to make Alyssa marry Jameson,
making her the Schmidt family''s daughter-inw.
At that time, Victor even considered David''s marriage. After all, David was also his son, whom he
doted on other than his firstborn.
So, he wanted to seize the opportunity to double the joy by matching Tatiana, Winston and L''s
daughter, to David.
Initially, considering Tatiana''s background, he believed she was far from suitable for David.
However, now that David was left with just one leg, he no longer had the qualifications to be picky.
Surprisingly, Tatiana, whom he had always looked down upon, had be more pleasing to the
eye.
That was why he eagerly brought David here tonight to meet Tatiana.
However, tonight puzzled him. Winston, who had epted Jameson as his son-inw, didn''t bring
Alyssa along. Also, his attitude seemed colder than before.
Disappointed, Jameson''s face darkened, and he downed a ss of wine.
Tonight, Tatiana wore an elegant whitece dress, entuating her skin. As a dance student, her
figure was graceful, with an astonishingly beautiful posture. The exposed pair of legs were slender,
resembling a wless piece of art.
On ordinary days, Alyssa''s beauty and presence were too breathtaking, causing Tatiana to be easily
overlooked.
Now, it seemed that these sisters were both beauties, each with their own beauty.
David had been recovering in the hospital for a long time. Apart from a few nurses, he hadn''t seen a
woman in ages. When he saw the graceful Tatiana, his eyes couldn''t help but fixate.
As a fellow man, Jameson easily saw through David''s thoughts, prompting a cold smirk.
Winston showed little appetite as the delicious food and wine were being served.
Meanwhile, Tatiana sat beside David. He was attentive to her, serving food on her te and pouring
wine. However, she just responded politely and didn''t eat the food he served.
In Tatiana''s mind and heart, there''s only Sean. She felt it was a sin to even nce at another man.
"Winston, now that the horse racing event is over, about what we discussed—"
Victor''s words were cut short as Winston interrupted in a deep voice. "Victor, I know you really like
Lyse. You''ve held her since she was a child, treating her no less than your daughter.
"I also know that Jimmy has feelings for Lyse, and he''s dutiful and considerate. He''s the one I really
like. But matters of the heart can''t be forced. Lyse has a man she loves, and you should know who
that is."
This revtion caught the Schmidts off guard.
Jameson''s deep eyes shed with a sudden intensity, blending with a predatory crimson. His
features turned tense like an ice sculpture. He exuded an icy chill even when he stayed still.
Witnessing Jameson''s spectacr expression, David couldn''t help butugh.
He knew that Jameson dreamed of marrying Alyssa and bing Winston''s son-inw to control
the Schmidt Group and challenge Josh.
That would never happen now.
"Winston, what do you mean? Didn''t we agree on this?"
The furious Victor frowned, and his face flushed with anger. "We''ve known each other for over 30
years. How have I treated you? I''ve been a better friend to you than your brother!
"Back then, when you were ambushed, with a sniper lying in wait on the rooftop, we didn''t even
know where the shooter was. Yet I stood in front of you, shielding you from the bullets!"
