Chapter 417

He, Arabella, and Emmett would be relaxing in the living room while her parents were in the kitchen, making them delicious food.

Most of the time he was quiet, but Arabella’s parents treated him like their own son, showing him great care and concern.

Back then, Emmett had also adored him, always listening to him, constantly calling him ‘brother- in-law’, and asking for his opinion on everything.

Now, the Palmer family’s home is still just as lively and warm.

It was just that this warmth in the Palmer family’s home had nothing to do with him anymore.

Jayceon stared at his phone screen.

He felt as if his body and soul were slowly separating, his entire being sinking into a daze.

Tabitha called his name worriedly several times before he snapped out of it.

Jayceon followed his mother’s gaze to his grandfather and asked, “Grandfather, what did you just say?”

Chester said with a grim expression, “Jay, business is war. As the CEO of the company, you must be extremely cautious with every decision you make. Terminating our cooperation with the Caldwell family does the Melendez’s group nothing but harm. You’ve managed the Melendez’s group for so many years, how could you make such a basic mistake?”

Jayceon stood up and methodically straightened his suit.

He said, “Grandfather, the order has already been given. If you have a problem with it, you can have the board of directors remove me.”

The old man was so choked by Jayceon’s words that his face turned livid, and he couldn’t speak for a long moment.

Conrad pointed at Jayceon and raged, “The entire Melendez family will be yours one day! Isn’t everything we do for you?”

Jayceon asked his father expressionlessly, “Dad, have you ever once thought about what kind of life I actually want?”

After the father and son glared at each other for a few seconds, Javeerin dragged his exhausted body and turned to leave.

Tabitha worriedly followed him to the door. “Jay, I’m free tomorrow morning. I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up.

Jayceon spoke to Tabitha in the gentlest tone he could manage, “Mom, I’m fine. You don’t need to

worry.

Tabitha watched her son’s lonely and dejected figure, her heart aching with helplessness.

She returned to the living room and, in front of the old man, questioned Conrad, “The Melendez family is already the most prominent family in Zelmere. Our wealth is among the greatest in all of country A. Why do you still insist on pushing our son to climb higher?”

Conrad snapped, “What does a woman like you know? Business is war! Today, the Melendez family stands at the top of the pyramid, and everyone has to look up to us. If we fall from this position one day, anyone will be able to stomp all over us!”

Conrad said, “As the old saying goes, mercy doesn’t command armies, and righteousness doesn’t run a business. If he keeps letting his emotions rule his decisions, he’ll end up just like Roderick did, and the Melendez family will sooner or later be ruined by his hands!”

Chester insisted, “Business isn’t charity. For us businessmen, profit comes first. If we just let him do as he pleases and allow him to be sentimental, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything great in the future.”

The argument in the grand hall was getting out of hand.

Back in his car, the first thing Jayceon did was reach for his painkillers.

He twisted open the cap only to find the bottle was already empty.

Jayceon started the car, enduring the physical discomfort.

Over an hour later, as Jayceon was leaving a pharmacy downtown, he saw Arabella’s parents in the distance.

The elderly couple was coming out of a supermarket, carrying a lot of things.

They must have been too heavy to carry, as the two of them put the bags down to rest by the side of the road.
