That night, the news about David's arrest shook the entire country. As expected, Daisy made use of
this more impactful news to push her ranking down from the trending searches.
However, the most pitiful news was still none other than the ones about the Schmidts.
Following the revelation of the incident involving the Schmidt siblings, the Schmidt Group found itself
backed into a corner. Aside from David's arrest, he had even exposed himself indecently for the whole
country to see! Even his grandfather, Thomas Schmidt, would likely be turning in his grave!
After watching the live news, Victor's heart couldn't endure it. His face lost color, and he staggered
backward.
"Dad!" Josh rushed forward to catch Victor. However, Jameson managed to get there ahead of him as
he was nearer to Victor.
"Hurry up and take a seat, Dad. Deep breaths." Jameson helped Victor to the sofa to sit. He turned
around and cast an anxious gaze at Josh.
"What are you still standing there for, Josh? Get the doctor to come and look at Dad, quick!"
Josh ran red with anger. He very much wished that he could shut him up. "Jimmy, you..."

have been avoiding coming against you head-to-head.
"But, just look at what happened to the family. Dad isn't feeling well, either. I'm just concerned about
Dad here. I'm not here to argue with you!" Jameson spoke with a worried tone.
Jameson's gloomy gaze toward Josh was enough to exert pressure on him.
Josh's face flushed red. He was about to defend himself when Victor suddenly screamed, "Josh! You're
so narrow-minded and useless! I want you to get out! Now!"
Tension filled the air, creating a frigid atmosphere. Josh gnashed his teeth, and his temples thrummed.
His anger had dissipated, leaving his face pale and drained.
He could see that Victor was siding with Jameson. If he continued to go head-on with him, it would not
benefit him in any way.
Thus, he could only swallow his frustration and hatred. He left with his teeth tightly clenched.
"Dad. You shouldn't be so mean to Josh."
Jameson appeared to be broad-minded. Yet, he incited Victor's emotions through his words.
He said, "Just think about it. Not only did Josh have to manage the corporation's matters these past
few years, but he also had to look after David and Daisy. It must not have been easy on him.
"The Schmidt Group is currently grappling with numerous challenges. He has done his utmost, and he
can't just disregard the matters concerning David and Daisy.
"It's understandable that he has some bad days. Please don't blame it on him."
"David and Daisy met with this sort of end today... It's all because Josh failed to be a responsible
brother! He was the one who spoiled them!" Victor pressed his hand against his chest.
In a devastated voice, Victor exclaimed, "As the president, has he ever properly resolved a single
problem? I tasked him with keeping an eye on David. And this is how he watches over him? He's just a
useless piece of shit!
"Schmidt Group's share prices can't afford to drop any further. If they do, there's a risk of a hostile
takeover. When that happens, the Schmidt Group will be in peril!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Dad, I've got your back in dealing with these corporate matters. Your main focus should be on your
health. Don't worry about it anymore." Jameson comforted Victor warmly.
"Jameson, I've failed to treat you properly all these years. But our family truly cannot survive without
you."
With tears in his eyes, Victor held Jameson's hand firmly and promised, "Don't worry. I won't mistreat
you from now on!"
The warm expression on Jameson's face vanished on the way home, replaced by a smirk.
"There's something I don't understand, Mr. Schmidt," Carl couldn't help but ask out of curiosity,
"Considering your financial power in Kontina, it would be easy for you to seize this opportunity and
acquire Schmidt Group's shares in large quantities.
"Why did you choose to stabilize Schmidt Group's situation instead? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for
you if there was more chaos?"
"I don't have any of the Schmidt Group's shares at hand. No matter how much I purchase them in bulk,
I will never own more than Victor or Josh. If I acted too aggressively at this stage, I'd be controlled by
others instead."
Carl understood and nodded. "That's true. Now that you've earned the old man's trust and sowed
discord wedge between Victor and Josh, you must proceed cautiously."
