Xavier was envious of Alyssa. If only he could marry Jasper too!
"Ahem. That's unnecessary." Alyssa’s voice softened. "I didn't date you to make
you my human shield. I mean, you've done that a few times, but you're only
human. Don't risk your life for me. You'll only break my heart."
Heart racing, Jasper grinned widely. At that moment, he'd die for Alyssa.
He said to her, "Lyse, I've finished the lunch you delivered to me."
Then, he embarrassedly turned away. Breathing heavily, he croaked, "Can I
enjoy “supper’ tonight?"
Meanwhile, the Schmidt Group was in deep trouble. The Tsulu government,
provoked by the deaths, had officially prosecuted the local employees in charge
of the demolition. On top of that, the government requested an astronomical
amount of compensation from the company.
Aware that the Schmidts were one of the four esteemed families in Cyrris, the
Tsulu government extorted a three-billion-dollar payment from the Schmidt
Group.
The government couldn't care less for the three deaths. However, they were
more concerned by Josh's decision to demolish a site with centuries of history
and architecture. The government could make the company pay a dear price for
every single brick and tile it destroyed.
The Tsulu government had the audacity to make ridiculous demands for another
reason. They banked on the Schmidt Group's attempt to cover up the matter for
its reputation and thus had to accept any condition.
Clearing the site for the holiday resort had cost the Schmidt Group a good two
billion dollars. Now, the group was forced to pay three billion dollars for
compensation on top of the initial development cost. Putting aside the talk on the
group's financial ability to withstand the blow, such an incident had already made
them the laughingstock of the industry.
The Schmidt Group found itself a debacle all because of Josh's action.
Victor finally had a massive outburst in an emergency board meeting in the
afternoon, where he suspended Josh's company presidency.
The suspension wasn't the harshest punishment Josh could have faced as the
culprit behind the demolition. It paled in comparison to the jail sentence he
managed to evade.
After the board members left, the father and son got into a huge fight in the
meeting room. Blinded by rage, Victor hit Josh on the head with an ashtray,
causing the latter to bleed from the head.
Grimacing in pain, Josh pressed his tie to stop the bleeding on his head. He then
scurried out of the
meeting room with a tail between his legs. There, he happened to run into
Jameson.
Jameson examined Josh with a smile. Then, he suggested, "Josh, you look badly
injured. Want me to call the ambulance for you?"
Jameson's bright smile was a stark contrast to Josh's misery.
