Melinda said: “Auntie, our Carrillo family is counting on you. For the child in your belly, for your only nephew, you have to deliver this baby safely and hold on to this wealth and splendor. That Jayceon is not a good person; he’s ruthless and cruel. We can’t take any more risks!”
Linda nodded in a panic: “Melinda, you’re right. Those thugs I had you find yesterday, hurry up and pay them off. Get rid of the medicine hidden in the apartment. From now on, we’ll stay far away from that woman. As for Georgina’s business, just let it be. I can’t handle it anymore.”
Every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. Upon learning that Jayceon had made a move against the Caldwell family, Linda and Melinda immediately backed off.
Those two women may have backed off, but Jayceon’s troubles were just beginning.
It was almost noon, the end of the workday.
Conrad burst into Jayceon’s office: “Retract the order right now and continue the partnership with the Caldwell group!”
Jayceon put down the file in his hand and stood up: “Dad, I’m the CEO of this company. Please don’t interfere with my work!”
The father and son faced each other, an office desk between them.
Conrad pointed at Jayceon, his voice laced with disappointment: “You’re ignoring the company’s interests to carry out a personal vendetta over a woman? What do you think the Melendez’s group’s other partners will say?”
Furious, Conrad slammed a file down: “Is the board of directors just for show to you?”
Jayceon didn’t back down an inch: “The order has been issued, and the partnership with the Caldwell group has been completely terminated. If the Melendez’s group wants to continue working with them, then have the board of directors fire me as CEO first!”
Conrad was so infuriated by his son’s words he could barely breathe.
Fortunately, Tabitha arrived just in time to stop the argument between father and son.
Tabitha said to Jayceon, “Jay, you’ve always been calm and collected. You never do things that result in mutual destruction. Please reconsider the collaboration with the Caldwell group.”

1208 Vouchers Jayceon’s tone was firm: “Mom, don’t worry. Terminating the partnership with the Caldwell group was already part of my plan. Last week, I already lined up a publicly traded company to replace them. I’ll make up for any losses to the Melendez’s group.”
Hearing his son already had a plan, Conrad’s explosive temper subsided slightly, but his tone was still nasty.
Conrad said to his son. “At the police station entrance that day, didn’t you see that woman leave with that Melendez right in front of you?”
Conrad said, “I told you to get rid of Georgina back then and have a child as soon as possible, but you wouldn’t listen. Now, even if you handed the Melendez’s group to that Palmer woman on a silver platter, she wouldn’t come back. You should give up on that idea right now!”
Seeing the pained expression on her son’s face grow, Tabitha finally managed to persuade her husband to leave.
After everyone had left, only Jayceon and Steve remained in the office.
Jayceon, drained of all strength, propped himself up with both hands on his desk. His shoulders slumped as he lowered his head and said to Steve, “Get the medicine!”
Steve hurried to the coffee table in the lounge area to get the medicine.
Really, the chairman… His own son is already in this state, yet he insists on saying the most hurtful things.
Steve brought the medicine over, but Jayceon snatched it from him.
Jayceon twisted open the cap, haphazardly shook out a few painkillers, and swallowed them in one gulp.
“You can leave for now.”
After taking the medicine, Jayceon slumped back into his office chair, closing his eyes to rest.
