In an instant, the atmosphere in the room intensified. The air was chilling to the bone.

Winston's expression was as frigid as the atmosphere in the room. "Mr. Schmidt, are you wishing meto continue being ill?"

Jameson chuckled. "You're overthinking it, Uncle Winston. Why would I be so narrow-minded? Youare Lyse's father. She is also the woman I love. I sincerely hope that you will live a long and healthylife.”

Neil stared at him. He knitted his brows together.

Those were words of concern. Yet, they didn't sound like kind words when Jameson uttered them."Mr. Schmidt, you are a persistent man indeed.”

Winston felt his body tightening up. He spoke with a sarcastic yet sharp tone, "But an overlypersistent person is just a stubborn person. They'd just end up getting their panties in a bunch.

"I have told you that one’s feelings cannot be changed. Moreover, Lyse is a prideful and tenaciousperson. You can try all you want to please her. But if she doesn't have feelings for you, there'snothing that you can do about it."

Jameson froze. He felt as if he had just been greatly humiliated.

"Right now, the entire country knows that Lyse and Jasper are madly in love with one another. Theyare very attached to one another. They're already discussing marriage. Not just anyone would beable to get in between them."

Winston just uttered Jasper's name with such friendliness.

Those who didn't know them might even get the impression that they had a close relationship.

It was said that managing the relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law waschallenging. Perhaps the relationship between a father-in-law and their son-in-law was also amystery.

Hatred surged within Jameson. He felt bitter. He was about to reply when Winston argued back,"Mr. Jameson, your position is now different from before. You are no longer the same kid who usedto follow my daughter around when you were young.

"Lyse already has Jasper now. It's not appropriate for you to still refer to her as the woman you love.That's too indecent.”

Some might say that the past incident at the entrance of Heightsnew Villa was equivalent toWinston beating Jameson up. This time, though, Winston was putting out Jameson's last glimmer ofhope.

Jameson clenched his teeth. He looked glum. His gaze was sharp and cold.

A moment later, he smiled. "Uncle Winston, I didn't expect you to remember my good deed. Evenso, I am still your savior. You don't have to be so cold and cruel toward me, do you? Moreover, Ihave always been very respectful toward you.”

Savior?

Winston's and Neil's jaws dropped!

"Remember the time when you fell into a coma and almost fell into a vegetative state? Didn't Lyseever tell you that I was the one who brought the medication that saved you just in time? That washow you managed to get out of that life-threatening situation and be saved.”

Jameson smiled slightly. "Well, I guess it makes sense for Lyse not to tell you. She only knows togive all the credit to Jasper."

Winston's face turned red. He was ashamed and enraged.

He was being manipulated and oppressed. This feeling made him extremely frustrated. Cold sweatbroke out on his back once again. His suit became drenched.

"I will thank you if you were indeed the one who did that.”

"I know that your sickness isn't easy to handle, Uncle Winston. During the later stages, you wouldshow symptoms like numbness in your limbs and hemiplegia

"You have had such a magnificent life. I'm sure that you wouldn't want to end up in such a pitifulsituation. You wouldn't want to suffer from illnesses and lose your integrity, do you?

"While you were ill, it was so hectic for the Taylors. Lyse bawled her eyes out. It really broke my heartto see her like that,” Jameson sighed. He had a depressed look in his eyes.

Winston's hands were on the armrests. His hands were trembling. The look on his face was gettingstiffer.

Neil was alarmed at that sight.

"So, this is for the sake of you and your family. Let's make a deal. How about that?" Jameson pushedhis glasses up slightly. He had a sly smirk on his face.

Winston asked in an icy tone, "What do you want?"
