Chapter 624

Jareth gritted his teeth so hard he could feel the ache in his molars.

Losing his father was the deepest wound in his life. The mere mention of his father’s name could slice through his heart, and now, his grandfather was using his father’s death as ammunition to hit him where it hurt most!

All to protect that bitch, Edith!

It was an insult to his father!

“Do you have any idea, Jareth, how your mother reacted when she heard Edith was rushed to the ER? Fainted on the spot, she did. Good thing the staff caught her, or she might’ve cracked her head open on the floor. Then you’d be down one dear ol’ ma! I know you’re chummy with Thaddeus and Evadne, but don’t you forget, you’re a Fairhaven! You’re about to take the reins of the Fairhaven empire, my successor. At a time like this, you oughta be focusing on company business, not meddling in other affairs!”

Barry’s steely gaze bore into him. “I’ve heard you’ve already taken your girlfriend to meet the Abernathys, had a chat with Hamilton and his son.”

Jareth’s heart skipped a beat.

“You’re holding off on arranging a sit-down with Mr. Frederic until after your appointment is official, aren’t you? Want to have some clout before you formally propose to the Abernathys.”

Seeing Jareth’s color change, Barry knew he had hit the mark and slowly sat back down. “Frederic’s a tough nut to crack, a real piece of work in Elmsworth’s business circles. You expect him to fully accept you as his son-in-law without showing some genuine intent? Right, Jareth?”

Chasel had administered the drug to Chairman Emeric that Avery provided.

The next morning, after an agonizing wait filled with prayers and hope, Emeric gradually came to, opening his eyes.

“Dad!”

Evadne couldn’t contain her emotions any longer and lunged forward to hug her father tightly!

“Good grief, girl, you’re suffocating me! Thaddeus, what’ve you been feeding her?”

Emeric patted his daughter’s back while he complained, but his heart swelled with warmth and joy, “I’ve just come back from the brink and here you are, trying to send me back again.”

“Don’t talk that way, Dad!” Evadne held on even tighter, her eyes brimming with tears.
