The 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 since


    he 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 the


    company 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 reached


    his limits. He most probably has found it extremely difficult to further improve himself. What''s more,


    Jonah and Ss aren''t ...


    Winston hesitated slightly as he spoke.


    Neil remained silent, though there was a shift in his eyes.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "So after some consideration, Lyse is indeed the most suitable heir out of everyone else. I''m not


    fond of Jasper Beckett, but I can''t stop Lyse from loving him. Though Jasper isn''t in the best position


    in his family, given he still has an elder brother who might undermine him at any given moment, he


    really 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 hime through the backdoor


    and be a son-inw 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 even


    paved 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 be


    going through the backdoor. He''s quitepetent, and given his military background, I doubt he''d


    be 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, he


    can help Lyse buy out the Beckett Group. What a treat that would be!" Winston waggled his


    eyebrows. "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''t


    you make yourself emperor of the city already!”


    "But that''s forter. As of now, I need to help Lyse deal with the troubles she’s facing out in the


    world if she and Jasper are to be together. Victor saved my life, this I won''t deny. But if this


    engagement with Jameson is called off, the Schmidts will forever be our enemies,” Winston


    concluded.


    The more he thought about this issue, the stronger a headache he felt. "We''ve permanently


    antagonized the Harper family after the horseracesst time.


    "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 we


    advance into Sna City. If the Schmidt family sides with them, KS Group will really be in hot soup.”


    Neil''s furrowed brows never rxed.


    Winston was right. The Taylor family was unopposed in Belbanks. But if the three families in Sna


    City allied together to oppose them, they''d be hyenas threatening their pride of lions. Alyssa was


    still 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 said


    with a faint smile. "It''s still hard to tell who''ll be the one to be head of the Schmidt family in


    the future.”


    "Mr. Jameson really is capable. He was able to get in Mr. Victor''s good graces within a year after


    being exiled to Kontina for 15 years. Mr. Victor even wanted Mr. Jameson to marry Ms. Alyssa. One


    can 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 rtions will be closer. Lyse will have


    a 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 no


    good! Simon switched to kissing Javier Beckett''s ass all because he thinks he has some capabilities


    to 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 was


    displeased when she heard Taty wanted to be with Sean. Our family is stronger than hers in every


    way, yet she dares to look down on Taty? Hmph!"


    "You want Taty to marry that sly hypocrite Jameson? How shameless are you?"
