Chapter 1225:

The vase, a valuable artifact worth millions, instantly shattered.

Miguel's face soured, but he controlled himself and remained silent.

She understood that Jarrod was furious and needed to express his anger.

“Mr. Watts, now that the Watts family has an heir, do you think you can challenge me?” Jarrod asked.

Miguel couldn't admit it openly, because he felt an inner rage, but he answered cautiously: "Not at all. We've never had those thoughts."

“I think that’s exactly what you thought!” Jarrod responded with a chilling laugh. “But remember, just as I was able to secure your family's future, I can destroy it just as easily. “I clearly have that power.”

Miguel trembled in fear. “Mr. Schultz, please understand that Roscoe is now my sole heir. “We will exhaust the resources of the Watts family if necessary to protect him.”

Then he added with a diplomatic smile: “Let us avoid discussions that might damage our connection. We look forward to continuing our cooperation. “I assure you that any dealings with the Schultz family will be especially advantageous for you from now on.”

The status of the Watts family was not much better than that of Jarrod's Schultz Group.

However, with the family line nearly severed, the company's strength was waning, and each member had his own interests, all seeking a share of the Watts family wealth.

Miguel was aware that many were waiting for his death to risk claiming the estate. Despite his advanced age and the pressures, he saw Roscoe, whom he had previously underestimated, as a new hope.

Therefore, he was willing to do whatever it took to ensure Roscoe's safety until his mission was complete.

Jarrod smiled with satisfaction. “I doubt your wish to continue the family legacy will come true.”

Jarrod was in no mood for a verbal duel with Miguel. Their thoughts were simply too different.

Jarrod could go after the Watts family, but it wasn't worth it. It would drain your resources and waste precious time.

"Mr. Watts, you didn't know that the woman your son loves has fallen seriously ill. Her health is rapidly deteriorating and she is unable to bear children," Jarrod told Miguel.

Miguel was surprised. He had noticed that Nicole was older than Roscoe, but he thought it was manageable. After all, age didn't matter as long as she could have children.

In his early thirties, Miguel found it hard to believe that Nicole couldn't have children. Jarrod's revelation made him rethink everything.

Jarrod continued: “You know your son well. “He is a devoted man who would never betray the woman he loves by having children with someone else.”

Miguel knew it was true. Roscoe was so determined and loyal that changing his mind would be nearly impossible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood up to the Schultz family so stubbornly. But if Nicole really couldn't have children, he had to consider other possibilities. There had to be another option.

Miguel’s aged eyes shone brightly as he looked at Jarrod. “Mr. Schultz, my efforts alone will not be enough. We need your cooperation to get Miss Lawrence back. What do you say?”

Jarrod knew that Miguel had made up his mind. Satisfied with the result, he stood up and declared, “Of course, Mr. Watts. We don't have to be rivals. “If we work together, the future will be better for both of us.”

“Of course.” Miguel nodded respectfully, but remained cautious.

Despite Jarrod's words, he had already excluded the Watts family from future collaborations. Miguel was simply too cunning.

After he left, Jarrod began to think of ways to force Nicole to come back to him. She had become irritable and now held a great grudge against him.

Note from Tac-K: Lovely people, I want to tell you that the doctor told me that I should take care of my heart since it hasn't been in the best condition lately, so I'm sorry if I haven't been as activate as before. I'm currently feeling better so I'll be publishing new chapters of several novels and releasing several complete novels that I had prepared a few days ago. I hope you like the active and finished novels as well as the new ones; and as always… God loves you and Tac-K loves you very much. (ɔO‿=)ɔ ♥
