Josh had created a massive scandal from his forced demolition of the Tsulu vige for the holiday
resort project.
Deep in worries, he had no time to deal with the public fallout. Victor had to suppress the news reports
for him.
Victor flipped in front of Josh and Jameson at the chairman''s office. "What''s wrong with you, you
moron? It''s illegal to demolish buildings by force in Cyrris. How dare you do it abroad?
"You do know their police and authorities wille after you, right?" Victor gritted his teeth and poked a
finger at Josh''s temple, forcing thetter to stumble backward.
Victor snapped, "You goon! Dumb as a doorknob! Do you want the Schmidt Group to meet an early
demise?"
Jameson pursed his lips silently as he adjusted his sses. Meanwhile, Josh blushed in shame, his
ego bruised by his dad.
Feeling indignant, he hissed, "Dad, Jonah Taylor tricked us! He transferred a problematic parcel ofnd
to me. He set up a trap for me."
Victor''s frown deepened.
"Josh, this is not your first day of doing business. Did you not send a delegation for an on-site
inspection before you sign the deal?" Jameson shook his head hopelessly. "How could you trust Jonah
Taylor blindly? Do you hold him in such high regard?"
Josh glowered at Jameson in hatred. He badly wanted Victor''s approval to outshine Jameson, which
prompted him to make such a rookie mistake and fall for Jonah''s trap.
It did not make sense for the Taylor family to breezily transfer a parcel ofnd acquired with effort in
exchange for freeing a mere secretary. There was no free lunch in the world indeed.
"Jimmy is right. Can''t you use your brain? Now I know why you''ve never won Jonah Taylor after years
of serving as the president." Victor''s resentment toward Josh deepened after Jameson fanned the
mes.
"Josh, it''s fine if there are issues with thend that the Taylors transferred to you. You could always
discuss it with Dad and me. I looked into that parcel ofnd before this.
"Building a holiday resort is not the best option. We should instead develop a golf course to serve the
top politicians and businessmen of Tsulu. That will help the Schmidt Group to build ourwork in the
country for future expansion into the market."
As if that wasn''t enough, Jameson sighed helplessly. "Too bad you never ce any trust in me. You
always think that I''m out to get you. We''re family even though we''re half-siblings. Why would I hurt
you?"
Josh stared intently at Jameson''s innocent expression as rage pulsed through his veins. He thought,
"Jameson, you vicious snake! You''ve taken out Daisy and David. How dare you y a good sibling
here?"
"Everything I did was for our family and the Schmidt Group. Josh, I hope you don''te to rash
decisions. You should hold discussions with us so we won''t be at a disadvantage."
"Why didn''t you tell me if you had inspected thend in private?" Humiliated, Josh barked at Jameson,
"Do you think I have no idea what you''re ying at? You wanted me to make a joke out of myself! You
wanted to get the Schmidt Group into trouble!
"Jameson Schmidt, you''re fucking vile! You''re the only one who doesn''t have thepany''s best
interest at heart!"
Hearing that, Victor red at his eldest and pped him across the face. He growled, "You idiot! How
dare you talk back and twist the facts? How could you shift the me onto Jimmy?"
Josh pressed a hand on his swollen cheek with astonishment and fury in his eyes. "Dad, what has
gotten into you? Can''t you tell who''s genuinely nice to you and cares about thepany?"
"All I care about is the result. I acknowledge Jimmy''s help in getting thepany out of trouble ever
since he came home from Kontina." Victor pointed a finger at Josh.

Victor continued, "But look at you. Not only did you fail to save David, but you also made the wrong
judgment that put thepany into more trouble. You''re a good-for-nothing, and you''ve failed as a
son!"
