Josh leisurely sipped his red wine, his expression dripping with disdain. He commented,

“Jimmy has always been a smart aleck. He doesn’t understand that trying too hard will

backfire on him.

“While he might have pleased Alyssa with that gift, little does he know he’s pissed Dad off.

Dad still holds

the power

David grinned and added, “Well, let Jimmy grovel at the Taylors’ feet and watch everything

fall apart

around him!”

As expected, Victor’s expression soured. He clenched his jaw and shot a piercing look at

Jameson. He was shocked to see Lily there with Jameson.

The emcee brought Jameson’s gift onto the stage, and everyone watched on with interest.

Lyla looked at Winston with hesitation.

Winston put his arm around her waist and said, “He put in time and effort for this gift.

Let’s take a look.”

Winston’s expression changed when he saw the gift, and his gaze silently turned to

Jameson. The other guests exclaimed and praised the gift with an intensity that rivaled

their surprise at Sharon’s design.

Alyssa frowned when she realized Jameson had bought Lyla a valuable marble sculpture

from the

Victorian era.

It was an item so rare that it could have been showcased in a national museum. At

auctions, it could

easily fetch a starting price of 30 million dollars.

The fact that Jameson had chosen this gift for Lyla, one that was more expensive than

Victor’s, was a

clear provocation.

What made it worse was that Jameson and Lyla were not particularly close, likely having

only met a few

times. It wasn’t a gift for Lyla. It was a thinly veiled attempt to curry favor with Winston.

Alyssa pressed her lips and shook her head gently. When she casually looked to the right,

she was

shocked to find Jasper missing.

Her heart skipped a beat as she scanned the room for his presence.

“Madam Lyla,” Jameson greeted her in front of the stage, wearing a humble smile as he

introduced his

gift.

“This is my birthday present for you-a marble sculpture from the Victorian era. I wish you

good health

and happiness with Mr. Taylor.”

After a brief pause, Lyla beamed at him warmly. “Thank you, Mr. Schmidt. You didn’t have

to give me such an extravagant gift. Your presence is more than enough.”

Winston chimed in with a joking tone, “Indeed. This is quite lavish, People might think it’s

my birthday gift,

haha!”

Jameson adjusted his glasses with an inscrutable gleam in his eyes.

Meanwhile, the guests gasped and gossiped.

“Wow, a gift from the Victorian era!”

“That’s an incredibly rare and valuable antique!”

“Mr. Jameson Schmidt has never shown up at any formal family events, and now he’s

making a grand entrance with a generous gift. He’s quite something.”

“His gift is worth 10 million dollars more than his dad’s, though. Is that even appropriate?”

The answer was no. Victor looked ashen-faced. However, the guests didn’t know that

Jameson had deliberately made such a move.

This was just the beginning. The Schmidts had better brace themselves for more trouble

from now on.

Just then, the emcee announced loudly, “The next gift is from Jasper Beckett, the

president of Beckett Group!”
