Clark’s smile was a mask, but beneath it, Jason felt an icy dread creeping up his spine, leaving him unsettled and anxious. The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension, punctuated only by the silence that stretched between them like an unwelcome chasm.

After what felt like an eternity, Jason finally found his voice, albeit shaky. “Mr. Sumner… my grandson didn’t mean it. If you could find it in your heart to let him off this time, I assure you he won’t repeat such a foolish mistake again…” His words were laced with desperation, a plea from a grandfather trying to shield his grandson from the consequences of a misstep.

Clark, however, remained unmoved, his gaze piercing into Jason’s with an unsettling intensity. “It seems your grandson isn’t as remarkable as you believe. He’s in his twenties, yet here you are, groveling on his behalf,” he retorted, his tone dripping with disdain.

Jason felt a surge of indignation at Clark’s dismissive attitude, realizing that the man was throwing his earlier words back at him like a weapon. Anger bubbled within him, but he fought to keep it at bay. Swallowing hard, he clenched his jaw and replied through gritted teeth, “Mr. Sumner, I take full responsibility for not raising my grandson properly.”

Clark’s eyes narrowed, and he shot back, “If you can’t even manage to discipline your own grandson, perhaps you should reconsider pointing fingers at me.” The words stung, and Jason felt the heat of humiliation wash over him, but he forced a smile, masking his true feelings. “Of course… Regarding my grandson’s actions…”

Clark leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. “As long as you grasp what to say and what to avoid in the future, your grandson should be just fine,” he warned, his voice carrying an edge that left no room for misinterpretation.

“I understand, Mr. Sumner,” Jason replied hastily, eager to escape the suffocating atmosphere of the office.

Once outside, Jason’s face darkened with fury. The arrogance of Clark was infuriating, and he swore under his breath that he would find a way to teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget.

In the confines of his office, Clark picked up the phone and dialed Damon. “Uncle Damon, what’s going on? Are you targeting me because of the incident at the hospital?” His voice was sharp, filled with a mix of frustration and confusion.

Damon’s voice came through, cold and detached. “The board of directors made the decision to terminate the contract with the Sumner Group.”

Clark snorted, incredulous. “Don’t feed me that nonsense. You think I don’t know you’re the one pulling the strings at Prospectus Technology? If you disagreed, no one would dare to cancel the contract with us.”
