Chapter 212
212 Grandpa Said What Now?
The frigid tension in the air finally began to dissipate, and everyone at the station let out a collective breath of relief.
“I’ll take you home first.”
“Okay.”
Scarlett obediently followed behind him. Jasper assumed she was walking slowly because she felt wronged.
He paused, then waited for her to walk beside him.
Samuel stepped out of the glass room, watching the three figures with a thoughtful expression.
Everyone assumed Jasper was simply waiting for
w to pass before
inheriting the Fletcher residence
But from Samuel’s vantage point, he could see things
the average person could not.
He probably doesn’t even care for the measly scraps of the Fletcher Group.
He rubbed his temples lightly.
He had assumed the little girl had orchestrated everything from the start, but it turned out Jasper had been behind her.
He supposed he could do Jasper a favor.
He called his assistant over and issued two orders. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
First, handle the Jose situation. Second, prepare to sever all ties with the Fletcher family.
Age had dulled many of his abilities; in return, the heavens had sharpened his instincts.
And his instincts told him this, listening to that little girl was the best move for the Kramer family right now.
Jose’s charges were cleared, and he was brought back; the rest of the Kramer family, who arrived late, immediately lashed out at him.
Jose was no stranger to this kind of scene, he’d
grown
used to it.
In fact, he even found time to signal to one of Dreame’s thugs waiting in the corner for his family to show
Dreame watched their warm reunion, his eyes full of loneliness.
That is, until he walked out of the police station and announced his decision.
Jose’s aunt, Grace, was stunned; her face went pale.
“Dad, did this little brat upset you so much that you’ve lost your mind? You’re really going to walk away from Matthew like that? Forget your decades of friendship, every project we’re involved in right now depends on the Fletcher family’s support! If you do this, you’ll bring the Kramer family to ruin!”
She couldn’t make sense of it. How had he suddenly become senile ?

212 Grandpa Said What Now?
Her father was always so sharp and capable.
Actually, no, he’d shown signs of mental issues before.
Now it seemed like he was having a full–blown personality split. Maybe a second identity really has emerged
“We need to call a doct
Her fury quickly turned into concern; her eyes
ow filled with worry.
“Dad, I know you’re just worried about the future of the Kramer family. But don’t worry. I’m still here . I’ll make sure the Kramer family lives on, and I’ll make sure Jose inherits it, too.”
But Samuel shook her hand off and immediately gave an order to the person running the company.
“My decision is final; it will not change.”
Watching him actually send the message, Grace nearly burst a vein.
“Dad!”
“I’ve made my decision. It’s final,” Samuel cut her off, turning once again to his wayward grandson.
“Jose, come here.”
Jose hurried forward.
“Grandpa,” he muttered, lowering his head.
Only now did he realize how badly he had screwed up.
The cost of his actions was a complete break with the Fletcher family.
That could bring the whole Kramer legacy crashing down.
He might lose everything overnight.
The price of recklessness was far too high.
“Grandpa, is this because the contraband was real? Did someone use me to threaten you?”
Samuel’s expression softened with a trace of
elief.
“The fact that you could think that far shows growth.”
He sighed slowly.
“But this has nothing to do with that, and it has nothing to do with you. I just hoped you’d show a little ambition; that you’d step up and help out more at the company.”
Jose still couldn’t muster any enthusiasm.
“But I studied medicine, I don’t know anything about business.”
“Perfect,” Samuel replied. “There’s a biomedical engineering project in the pipeline. Interested ? ”

212 Grandpa Sald What Now ?
Jose’s head snapped up.
“Grandpa?”
“You’ll be in charge of the project. Our partner is the Lane family.”
It wasn’t just Jose; even Grace, who had been barely keeping her rage in check, couldn’t hold it back anymore.
“Dad, are you seriously okay? If that’s true, then this project will be our only remaining source of profit after cutting ties. And you’re handing it to him? This move could sink us, and you know it!”
She quickly started calling people, trying to sort everything out as fast as possible.
Seeing the medical staff she had contacted arrive, she ordered them to take Samuel away first.
He may be crazy, maybe even suicidal , but I still want to live ! Jose rushed to catch up to Samuel and got into the ambulance with him.
Samuel seemed perfectly fine.
“Jose, don’t worry. Just give Mr. Harrison a call and let him know I’ve been hospitalized.”
Jose didn’t dare disobey anymore. He immediately contacted Harrison.
