Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue -
Chapter 1617
Winston's hand trembled when he held the glass of water. "It's time to get my will ready.”
Feeling bitter, Neil stopped him. "Mr. Winston!"
"Nothing to worry about. All the business tycoons here and abroad do the same. They'll preparetheir will at this age just in case anything happens.” Winston stared at Neil solemnly.
He began, "Neil, I can't discuss this matter with my wives. They're too kind and gentle to accept it. Ican't turn to my kids, too. I might appear rich and glamorous on the outside, but as their dad, I gavethem a lot of trouble. I know what I have done.
"That's why I can only bring up this matter with you. You're the only one I trust.”
Neil lamented, "But Mr. Winston, you said you'd like to see all your children married and settleddown. You wanted a bunch of grandchildren.”
"Hah. I don't have the time to wait. Jonah, Silas, Cyrus, and that brat Axel are either busy with workor busy serving Jesus. None of them will give me what I want." Winston sighed a few times. "Nowthat I look at it, Lyse seems to be the only promising one. Too bad she..."
Neil's phone rang from an incoming call. He immediately picked up, and moments later, hisexpression fell. "Got it."
Winston inquired, "What's wrong?"
"Mr. Winston." After a pause, Neil announced, "Mr. Jameson is here. He's at the lobby."
Winston ground his teeth as his expression darkened.
Neil suggested, "If you refuse to see him, I'll personally inform him."
"Get him up here.”
Ben looked surprised. "But Mr. Winston, we can't read him. Besides, you've just recovered. There'sno need to overexert yourself."
"I'll need to meet him." Winston placed the glass of water on the table with a brooding look in hiseyes. "He's not just Jameson Schmidt; he's the president of the Schmidt Group. Things are differentnow. He's not someone I can brush aside without a care.
"What's more, he's a calculative and scheming guy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately paid avisit to me at the office right after I had recovered. The visit is an attempt to snoop around. If Irefuse to see him, that will create gossip and raise his suspicion.”
Ten minutes later, Jameson marched into Winston's office, looking dapper and confident in histailored suit and holding a gift.
"Uncle Winston, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital.” Jameson beamed warmly atthe old man, showing no hint of the beef between him and Winston.
"Mr. Jameson, thank you for your thoughtfulness. However, I think you should address me as Mr.Winston when in a professional setting.” Winston settled down in the leather chair behind the desk,looking as authoritative as before.
The smile on Jameson's face deepened. He insisted. "Uncle Winston."
Winston immediately frowned at Jameson's deliberate remark. The more he told off Jameson, themore Jameson wanted to go against him
"You might be discharged, but I could tell from your tone that you're not at your best. Your facelooks rather pale as well.” Jameson's eyes gleamed maliciously. He slowly approached Winston,questioning, "Have you not fully recovered from your stroke?"
