Chapter 212 Grandpa Said What Now?

The frigid tension in the air finally began to dissipate, and everyone at the station let out a bcollective /bbbreath /bof relief.

“I’ll take you home first.”

“Okay.”

Scarlett obediently followed behind him. Jasper assumed she was walking slowly because she felt wronged.

He paused, then waited for her to walk beside him.

Samuel stepped out of the ss room, watching the three figures with a thoughtful expression.

Everyone assumed Jasper was simply waiting for

w to pass before

inheriting the Fletcher residence

But from Samuel’s vantage point, he could see things

the average person could not.

He probably doesn’t even care for the measly scraps of the Fletcher Group.

He rubbed his temples lightly.

He had assumed the little girl had orchestrated everything from the start, but it turned out Jasper had been behind her.

He supposed he could do Jasper a favor.

He called his assistant over and issued two orders.

First, handle the Jose situation. Second, prepare to sever all ties with the Fletcher family.

Age had dulled many of his abilities; in return, the heavens had sharpened his instincts.

And his instincts told him this, listening to that little girl was the best move for the Kramer family right now.

Jose’s charges were cleared, and he was brought back; the rest of the Kramer family, who arrivedte, immediatelyshed out at him.

Jose was no stranger to this kind of scene, he’d

used to it.

In fact, he even found time to signal to one of Dreame’s thugs waiting in the corner for his family to show olliup. /li/ol

Dreame watched their warm reunion, his eyes full of loneliness.

That is, until he walked out of the police station and announced his decision.

Jose’s aunt, Grace, was stunned; her face went pale.

“Dad, did this little brat upset you so much that you’ve lost your mind? You’re really going to walk baway /bfrom Matthew like that? Forget your decades of friendship, every project we’re involved in right bnow /bdepends on the Fletcher family’s support! If you do this, you’ll bring the Kramer family to ruin!”

ow filled with worry.

“Dad, I know you’re just worried about the future of the Kramer family. But don’t worry. I’m still hereb. /bbI’ll /bmake sure the Kramer family lives on, and I’ll make sure Jose inherits it, too.”

But Samuel shook her hand off and immediately gave an order to the person running thepany.

“My decision is final; it will not change.”

Watching him actually send the message, Grace nearly burst a vein.

“Dad!”

“I’ve made my decision. It’s final,” Samuel cut her off, turning once again to his wayward grandson.

“Jose,e here.”

Jose hurried forward.

“Grandpa,” he muttered, lowering his head.

Only now did he realize how badly he had screwed up.

The cost of his actions was aplete break with the Fletcher family.

That could bring the whole Kramer legacy crashing down.

He might lose everything overnight.

The price of recklessness was far too high.

“Grandpa, is this because the contraband was real? Did someone use me to threaten you?”

Samuel’s expression softened with a trace of

elief.

“The fact that you could think that far shows growth.”

He sighed slowly.

“But this has nothing to do with that, and it has nothing to do with you. I just hoped you’d show a little ambition; that you’d step up and help out more at thepany.”

Jose still couldn’t muster any enthusiasm.

“But I studied medicine, I don’t know anything about business.”

“Perfect,” Samuel replied. “There’s a biomedical engineering project in the pipeline. bInterested/bb?/b”

bJose’s /bhead snapped up.

“Grandpa?”

“You’ll be in charge of the project. Our partner is the Lane family.”

It wasn’t just Jose; even Grace, who had been barely keeping her rage in check, couldn’t hold it back anymore.

“Dad, are you seriously okay? If that’s true, then this project will be our only remaining source of profit bafter /bcutting ties. And you’re handing it to him? This move could sink us, and you know it!”

She quickly started calling people, trying to sort everything out as fast as possible.

Seeing the medical staff she had contacted arrive, she ordered them to take Samuel away first.

Samuel seemed perfectly fine.

“Jose, don’t worry. Just give Mr. Harrison a call and let him know I’ve been hospitalized.”

Jose didn’t dare disobey anymore. He immediately contacted Harrison.
