"Dad, David engaged in contract killing and attempted murder! Besides, it was Cyrus Taylor who


    caught him red-handed. Even if I hired all the top attorneys from across the nation, they could not save


    David''s ass!" Josh countered.


    He was banking on Victor notying a finger on him, as he had built a strong faction in the Schmidt


    Group and bagged a lucrative project in Tsulu from Jonah. So, he acted fearlessly. "Just admit that


    you''re upset at me. Why would youpare me to Jimmy?


    "Have you forgotten all I have done for you over the years and my sacrifices for thepany? I


    deserve a little credit, don''t you think? Plus, it''s David who got us into trouble. We wouldn''t be in this


    mess if he didn''t think with his dick. The entire family will be dragged down if we keep cleaning his


    mess for him."


    "Dad, calm down. I think Josh has a great point there," Jameson drawled. "You might think I am


    heartless, but I, too, agree that you''ll need to give up on David in the interest of thepany, even if it


    pains you to do so.

    "It doesn''t matter how we get to this situation. At the end of the day, David''s man was arrested in


    action, and we''ll need someone to take the me."


    Victor pursed his lips with a long face.


    "Jimmy''s right. Dad, we''ll get into trouble if we continue defending David." For once, Josh was in


    agreement with Jameson.


    "If so, I''ll leave it to you, Josh." Victor closed his eyes in resentment. From his voice, one could discern


    the pain of losing a son. "I guess this marks the end of my rtionship with David."


    After Victor left, only Josh and Jameson remained in the meeting room, looking like two final survivors


    of a horrifically brutal game.


    "Josh, it''s just you and me in the family now. Please show me favor," Jameson spoke.


    He rose gracefully from his seat and nced at Josh from the corner of his eye. "Be gentle when you


    speak with David. You know he''s emotionally immature. He might shred you into pieces if he learns that


    he''ll be in jail forever."


    "You are just lucky. Don''t get ahead of yourself." Gritting his teeth, Josh knew how to hit Jameson


    where it hurt.


    He taunted, "You yed no role in David and Daisy''s fates at all. It was all because of Alyssa and


    Jasper''s strategies. That couple is more than capable of going up against the Schmidt Group."


    The mention of Alyssa and Jasper as a couple cut into Jameson''s heart. His expression froze, and he


    breathed heavily.


    Josh did not stop there. "You are a bastard son who benefits off the sess of others. Do you believe


    you can win against me by tattling on the others in front of Dad and driving a wedge between us?


    "You are a shameless, fake-ass traitor. No matter how meticulously you present yourself, you still reek


    of the filth. It''s no wonder Alyssa Taylor couldn''t care less for you. You are no match for Jasper Beckett,


    you ridiculous thing!"


    Hatred filled Jameson''s chest. Like a raging bull, he stormed up to Josh with clenched fists.


    Jameson snickered. "Oh, Jimmy, you''re not going to beat me up right here, are you?" He pointed at the


    ceiling, adding, "There are cameras everywhere. If youy a finger on me, you will only hurt your image


    of a dutiful son."


    Jameson squinted and tried to hold back his anger. Then, he slowly adjusted Josh''s tie for him. "Josh,


    your arrogance is pitiable yetical in my eyes."


    "What are you talking—Ugh—"


    Without warning, Jameson tightened the tie, causing Josh to momentarily suffocate and gasp for


    breath.


    Jameson hissed, "You have walked into my trap. Can''t you tell?"
