Chapter 323
Jason knew Jameson would have his back, so he stayed silent.
But any trace of hope was gone. He’d sensed danger the moment Shermaine walked in.
Jameson was cunning, trying to paint Shermaine as someone abusing Joshua’s protection. But no one there was dumb enough to buy that.
Besides, Tim had learned from Joshua last night about Jameson’s schemes. A marriage alliance was fine, but he’d never let Danielle marry Jason.
Shermaine crossed her legs, with a lazy smile on her lips but cold, piercing eyes. “Mr. Jean, do you really think you can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes?”
“At your age, that’s not naivety. It’s stupidity,” she added, her voice dripping with disdain.
Jameson had never been talked to like that. ‘How dare she point a finger and curse at me? This is unthinkable, he thought.
“What have I done to deserve these lies? You’re not just slandering your father. You’re insulting me. How did I end up with such an ungrateful daughter?”
In reply, Shermaine tossed a stack of photos at his feet. As they fanned out, Jameson’s face turned ashen.
Then, without warning, the ward’s screen–previously off–flashed on, playing a video of Jameson’s assistant bribing kidnappers. With the kidnappers already confessing, he had no leg to stand on.
Evidence? Shermaine always had it. Even if Jason deleted everything, she could recover it.
She said, “First you planned Danielle’s kidnapping so Jason could play hero, then you tried to have Ross killed. Now the proof is staring you in the face. What’s your excuse?”
Planning a kidnapping was still a crime.
As for offing Ross, Jameson had only wanted to maim him, not kill him.
‘But these guys went after Ross? How the hell did that happen?‘ he wondered.
Jameson’s face turned deathly pale. With Tim watching, he blurted out the first thing that came to mind. “Shermaine, this is a setup. I never did any of this. Your evidence is fake.”
How could he admit it? Confessing would kill Jason’s chances with the Shelly family and Danielle.
Jameson turned to Tim. “Tim, you’ve got to believe me. I had nothing to do with this. Shermaine’s jealous of Jason, so she’s trying to frame us.”
Tim let out a scornful snort, dropping all pretense of politeness. He’d been waiting for Shermaine to expose their lies, and now he felt downright satisfied, especially when she called Jameson an idiot. Tim couldn’t agree more.
‘Jameson’s a fool. Why throw away his good wife and kids? What else could he be?‘ Tim thought.
Tim had zero respect for Jason. The guy was rotten to the core, and his shady schemes were bound to blow up in his face.
Next to Ross, he didn’t stand a chance. If Jason took over Jean Group, it might as well belong to a stranger. Since the Jean family disowned him, he might
as well be one.
Tim snapped, “Shut your mouth. Do you think I don’t know about you? The cops will figure out who’s lying.”
