Chapter 681
“You insolent brat! How dare you speak to your father in such a manner?” Victor raged. He would have slapped Jameson if it
weren’t for the presence of other guests.
Except for Winston, men of Victor’s generation believed in the importance of discipline and felt that
rebellious individuals should be subject to corporal punishment.
Therefore, he believed it was only appropriate to physically punish Jameson.
“If you still have some respect left for Mom, I could attempt to maintain the facade of a father-son
relationship with you. If you disrespect her further, I have more scathing remarks reserved for you.”
Jameson chuckled with a smirk.
Even Victor was taken aback by Jameson’s ruthlessness.
Victor and Jameson confronted each other on the balcony at the end of the corridor. Even the cold
weather was no match for the tension between the two.
“What the hell do you want?” Victor questioned icily.
“I didn’t know the value of your gift for Madam Lyla. If you’re angry because you felt humiliated by the
worth of my gift, I hope you can let that go,” Jameson explained nonchalantly.
“One who errs unknowingly shouldn’t be held responsible, right?”
“I wasn’t referring to that!” Victor hissed and took a step forward.
“Why did you bring her to this event? Are you trying to upset me?”
Jameson threw his head back in laughter, tears rolling down his cheeks. “I thought it was something
serious. It turns out it’s about Mom.”
“Jameson Schmidt!” Victor warned as he clenched his fist in anger.
“When you married my mother, you made a vow in front of God to be with her in good times and bad, in sickness and in health.
Do you feel nothing but disgust for her now?” Jameson was equally furious.
“You abandoned her and never once checked on her during her 15 years in Kontina. Now that I’m able to take care of her in
Cyrris, you call her disgusting. I’m being kind by not labeling you the same.”
“You brat!” Victor finally slapped Jameson across the face, leaving a jarring red mark.
Still, Jameson smiled with a menacing look. “Dad, you’ve become weak. Your slap hurts less now. Didn’t
Josh and David take care of your health?”
“You jerk! Shut up!” Victor pointed a finger in Jameson’s haughty face.
“Leave with your mom right now! If you don’t, I’ll have my men send her back to Kontina!”
“How dare you?” Jameson barked at him, tightening his fists. He was a completely different person right
now than he was in front of Alyssa.
“I’ll kill anyone who lays a finger on Mom tonight.”
“You-” Victor choked on his anger. He sensed Jameson’s murderous intent in the latter’s eyes.
“If my siblings are allowed to be here, the same goes for my mom. As you can see, Mom and I are
Alyssa’s VIP guests. If you kick Mom out, you’ll be going against Lyse. Whatever your plan is, it won’t work
if you’re on her bad side.”
After that, Jameson tried to leave because he refused to engage with his heartless father.
At that moment, Victor declared, “I have never wronged your mom! It was your mom who cheated on me
in the first place! Not only that, we lost a daughter because of her!”
He bellowed uncontrollably, “If she hadn’t slept with a random man, she wouldn’t have miscarried! She
could have enjoyed her life as Mrs. Schmidt instead of becoming the brunt of a joke!”
Jameson refuted, “I trust my mom’s character. She’s deeply in love with you. There’s no way she would.
sleep with other men!”
