It had been half a month since Jameson was hospitalized for treatment. Carl helped him with handling the matters at Schmidt Group. However, he was too busy to keep an eye on the matters at The Millennium. No matter how much he distrusted Amber, the business was back in her hands. She managed the company on his behalf for some time. Even so, Jameson had never stopped monitoring her, not even for a single moment. Other than when she went to the toilet, to shower, or when she was asleep, her every move was being watched. Furthermore, she couldn't even take a single step out of The Millennium. As long as she couldn't leave, she wouldn't be able to get her hands on the important evidence that Wesley had hidden. If she couldn't retrieve it, Wesley would have sacrificed himself for nothing! This was the period when Jameson was absent. It could also be her only chance. Even if she might end up sacrificing herself, she needed to get that evidence!Hence, tonight, Amber wore an incons
Without waiting for Carl to respond, Amber lowered her head timidly. "If it's a no, then… forget about it." "It's just driving a car. No problem." Carl didn't know how he should react. He lifted his hand and caressed the top of her head. "I may not have command over the major things, but I can still make decisions over small matters like this. If no one drives that high-end Ferrari Mr. Schmidt gifted you, it will eventually be scrapped. That was also Mr. Schmidt's kind gesture toward you. Don't waste it. Drive it." Amber beamed. Yet, that alluring smile of hers was not reflected in her eyes. She drove her red sports car toward Solana City's largest antique jewelry gallery. They planned to get a birthday gift for Jameson from there. A crystal oil burner caught Amber's eye. The shop owner sang praises of her for having a good eye. She smiled sweetly. Just as she was about to swipe her card, Carl jumped ahead and paid seven million dollars without batting an eyelid. "We've
The days passed by without any turbulence. Twice each day—once in the morning and once at night—Briar and another nurse rotated shifts to take Jameson's medications to him and give him his shots. Each time, Jameson would have his primary physician conduct routine checks on his medication. Even so, the results were identical each time. There were no problems with the medications. Before they realized it, it was the day before Jameson's birthday. That night, determined to ease the tension between Jameson and Amber, Carl set off for the gallery to retrieve Amber's surprise birthday gift for him.Jameson's hospital room was heavily guarded from the outside. He only had a bedside lamp on in his room as he read under the soft lighting. Briar knocked on the door and walked in. In a gentle voice, she said, "Mr. Schmidt, it's time for your medications." "Okay." Jameson seemed to be in a good mood today. There was a faint glee in his eyes. Briar had an earnest smile on her f
Both Jameson's and Carl's jaws dropped."What are the cops doing here? I don't care what you do. Just stop them from entering!" Carl commanded while he glared. Jameson's bodyguard was drenched in sweat. "But… But they've already…"Jameson lowered his head. He asked gloomily, "What's their team leader's name?""His last name is… Taylor." Carl widened his eyes immediately. He looked nervously toward Jameson, who was looking emotionless.Right at this moment, the hospital room door burst open, and Jameson watched Cyrus march in. He was casually dressed, and he had a frigid air about him. "Hello, Mr. Schmidt. I believe I won't need to introduce myself again," Cyrus smirked coldly. That said, he still flashed his badge per his usual practice. "It's been a while, Cyrus." The smile on Jameson's face was friendly and warm. There was not a single hint of wickedness in his smile. "You don't have to address me in such a friendly manner." Cyrus was an experienced criminal investiga
"There's no use talking about this now! He was arrested on the spot with evidence right before everyone's eyes. The cops are going to take a urine sample from Mr. Schmidt in a bit. If the results turn out to be positive, there's no way that he'll be able to clear his name!" "It would be best if they could run a test because Mr. Schmidt has never touched that thing at all!" Carl exclaimed confidently. He was Jameson's most trusted assistant. No one else might dare to guarantee that, but he dared to. After that, doubt filled his heart again. How did Jameson's medication get replaced with a drug out of nowhere? He checked on his medications personally every day. Today was the only day when…In an instant, Carl's face went pale. He took out his phone with trembling hands and immediately called one of his subordinates. Through gritted teeth, he ordered, "Bring that nurse, Ms. Thompson, who has been attending to Mr. Schmidt these past few days, to see me… right now!" "I was ju
Alice White stared at the divorce papers on the table and realized that her husband had already signed them. Then, she looked toward the window. Jasper Beckett's upright figure reflected in her watery eyes. He looked charming under the afternoon sun but also cold and domineering. Even from behind, he radiated aloofness. "I've signed it. You should also hurry and sign it. I want to finish all the legal procedures before Lia returns." Jasper had his hands clasped behind him and didn't turn to look at her."We've already agreed on the assets before marriage, so there won't be any issues with that. However, I will compensate you with another 20 million and a villa on the outskirts. After all, you'd be leaving without anything else. It'd be hard for me to explain that to Grandpa later if you do." Alice was stunned and upset. "Does … does Grandpa know you're divorcing me?" "So what if he knows? Do you think it'll affect my decision?" After hearing that, Alice felt faint and grasp
Liana was the niece of Jasper's father's current wife, so she got along well with the family during dinner. In contrast, Jasper was the only one with a frown and no appetite. Alice had left with Jonah and taken nothing with her, including the 20 million and the villa. "Where's Alice? Why isn't she joining us for dinner?" Jasper's father, Javier Beckett, asked."We're divorced. The papers are already signed. We will go through the procedures soon and get the divorce certificate." Jasper looked down as he answered.Shocked, Javier asked, "Divorce? Why?" "Javier, I told you Jasper and Alice aren't a good match. Still, your father forced them to get married." His wife, Sophia Kirkman, couldn't help but sigh."She's suffered a lot during these three years. It's a good thing for them both that she's finally let go. Now, they can live their own lives. You know that Jasper has always been in love with Lia." "Jasper, marriage isn't child's play. Moreover, she …""Dad, we've signed t
The Heightsnew Villa in Belbanks was home to the Taylor family. The Rolls-Royce stopped on the red carpet leading to the door of the building. Silas came out to welcome his sister and opened the car door for her."Welcome back, princess!" Alyssa's delicate face looked even more stunning under the dazzling lights. When she got in the car, she had changed from sneakers to heels. Therefore, she now looked elegant, like a queen. "How have you guys been, Silas?""Great. It's even better now that you're back. Did you enjoy the fireworks? My birthday gift for you attracted the whole city's attention. It was even trending on social media!" Silas' handsome face was filled with excitement. "Yes. I saw it. The people were guessing if it was a tycoon trying to romance his wife, and some even said you were corny. Congratulations on unlocking a new achievement, Silas." Alyssa smiled and clapped her hands. Silas ignored her sarcasm and excitedly hugged her. "Lyse, you won't leave us again
