Dressed sharply in a suit, Jameson appeared in everyone’s view while pushing a frail woman in a wheelchair.

“Lyse, who’s that lady in the wheelchair?” Jasper looked puzzled.

Jasper narrowed his eyes. He vaguely recalled seeing Jameson’s mother once at Lyla’s birthday party.

At that time, under Jameson’s careful styling, Lily appeared elegant despite her illness. She exuded a remarkable presence, just like an upper-class lady.

However, this time, her condition was noticeably worse than before, with graying hair and sunken cheeks.

Victor and Josh paled with shock—especially Victor. He stared from a distance at his long-neglected wife, and his eyes gradually reddened with simmering resentment.

He knew full well what Jameson was up to. Now that he was doing well in the Schmidt family, he would undoubtedly prioritize making amends to his mother— compensating her for the years of suffering and indignity she endured.
