But Josh didn't even get a chance to change his clothes before Victor called him over to the hospital.

After learning that the Schmidt Group's assets had depreciated by two billion dollars in value, Victor

had thoroughly "refurbished" the VIP ward he was staying in. It was better demolition work than most

people could accomplish.

Money wasn't the most important thing right now. What was important was that the recent wave of

negative news had impacted one of Schmidt Group's big projects in Kontina, forcing them to stop

operations.

The Kontinian authorities even wanted to investigate Schmidt Group's financial status thoroughly. This

was the greatest blow to the company.

"Please calm down, Dad. Don't overexert yourself." Josh's voice was weak. His greasy hair and

stubbled chin gave him a disheveled look. "We can always earn back the money, but if we don't

properly handle the crisis our company is facing now, it will surely impact the family."

"Earn back the money? Easy for you to say!" Victor was fuming in the midst of the wrecked ward.

"Three billion... We've lost at least a hundred billion dollars with the addition of the halted project

overseas! Tell me, when exactly will we make enough to cover a loss of that amount?"

Josh's expression stiffened. He had no solution in mind.

"Don't panic, Dad," A clear voice rang out, making Josh's heart sink.

Jameson strode into the hospital ward with no hint of worry on his delicate features. He smiled warmly

and said, "Don't worry about the project in Kontina. I have a plan to fix the problem."

"You have a plan, Jameson?" Victor was stunned.

Despite his neutral expression, Josh's eyes burned with hatred as he looked at Jameson. Internally, he

couldn't resist grumbling, "Goddamned son of a bitch! Jameson is nothing more than a useless mutt!"

"I've been up to some things myself overseas, Dad. I've made some connections of my own, too."

Jameson walked over and gently patted Victor's back. "Did you forget? I lived in Kontina for 15 years.

With my connections there, I can accomplish something as miniscule as getting our project back in

progress."

"Jameson, is that true? Can you get our project in Kontina up and running again?" Victor grabbed

Jameson's arm excitedly.

Internally sneering, Jameson observed Victor's hopeful eyes.

Victor had subjected Jameson to both physical and verbal abuse since he was young, never displaying

such excitement and hopefulness toward him until now.

Jameson would always remember how the Schmidt family treated him growing up.

When Jameson was forced to starve on that winter night in the eighth year of his childhood, David and

Daisy showered him in cold water and shoved ice cubes down his collar, making him catch a high fever

for three days straight. All his mother could do was wait for him to recover while silently wiping her

tears away.

Being the eldest, Josh not only allowed his siblings to bully Jameson, he even laughed at the sight. He

had laughed so loudly.

From then on, Jameson swore that he would make each of them pay a terrible price.

"I have no reason to lie to you when it comes to this important project worth billions, Dad." Jameson

smiled like an obedient little child, a sharp glint hidden in his eyes.

"Oh, my wonderful, wonderful boy!" Victor exclaimed, overjoyed. He clasped both of Jameson's

shoulders. "I admit I have been too harsh on you in the past, Jameson, and I haven't shown you

enough care. I am truly sorry for that!"

"Nonsense, Dad." Jameson hugged his father and patted his back. "You're my father. Who else would I

help but you? I understand that you were harsh on me in the past because you wanted me to toughen

up and make a name for myself. I have never hated you for it."

Jameson's words were so touching that they made tears swim in Victor's eyes.

"Hmph! Don't go all bark and no bite on us, Jameson." Josh glared at him. "Don't you come and stir up

the pot even more now. If you're truly this capable, why haven't you shown it to us since your return?"

"Because you're Schmidt Group's CEO, Josh. I've always trusted your problem-solving capabilities, so I

was sure you'd be able to help the company navigate through such a tough time. Hence, I never dared

show you what tricks I had up my sleeve." Jameson's praise couldn't have been worded more sharply.

"If your brother really was as capable as you say he is, our company's progress wouldn't have stuttered

in the past two years. Now, we've even lost the position of the wealthiest family in Solana City to the

Becketts!" Victor scowled, shooting Josh a glare.
