Since Jameson didn't want children, Albert was afraid that he would lose control over Jameson.
Fortunately, Erica was about to be engaged to Martin.
Albert could not possibly allow Jameson to get in the way of their engagement.
"Uncle Albert!"
Evie held Erica's hand and calmed her down, "Erica, don't worry.We can fix this."
The most important thing right now was Erica and Martin's engagement.
Albert knew Jameson too well, so he said in a gentle way, "Jameson, Erica is your sister.Have you ever thought about the feelings of Erica and our family when you said ‘you don't agree’?"
Jameson said indifferently, "You know better than anyone whether Erica is my sister or not.
Albert said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Evie also said, "We don't owe you anything, Jameson.We have given you everything you deserve as the future owner of the Proctor Group.What I want now is to see that Erica marry Martin properly.Can't you agree to such a small request?"
Jameson remained calm as he slowly said, "Martin doesn't like her.There's no proper way that Erica marries him.’’
"Martin may like her in time.You refused to marry Sharon when your father asked you to, right?"
Jameson put on a long face and didn't say anything.
‘How come Sharon fancies Martin? Martin is cheating on her.
He is about to get married! Is Sharon giving herself a hard time?’ It became a bit awkward in the room.
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded from the door.
Jeffery said with a smile, "It seems that I'm late.Did I miss anything?"
Erica complained in grievance, "Jameson doesn't want me to marry Martin."
Jeffery was sitting in a wheelchair.Behind him was Natalia.
Hearing this, Jeffery was somewhat surprised, but he instantly smiled, "Erica, Jameson must have his own reasons.Stop arguing anymore.He has been pretty preoccupied with the company's affairs these days."
"But I..."
"Erica, is Martin willing to marry you?"
Evie seemed to feel like speaking.
She moved her lips, but did not say anything in the end.
Albert was a little unhappy because of Jeffery's words.
He said, "Jeffery, you're not young anymore.I didn't push you before, but it's time for you to consider getting married."
Jeffery was still smiling as he slowly said, "I'm just a cripple.No one would be willing to be my wife."
Albert looked a bit rigid for a moment.He did not say anything anymore.Evie suddenly stood up.
She seemed overwhelmed, "This is not your fault.The one who took everything away from you should be the one to be blamed!"
"Enough!!!"
Albert's face clouded over with anger.
"Aren't we talking about Erica? What does this have anything to do with Jeffery?"
Evie sneered and went upstairs.Albert also went to the study.Erica stamped her feet, feeling anxious and angry.
She then ran out of the room, too.Nobody was happy.
Jameson stayed still as sarcasm filled his eyes.
His expression was cold and indifferent.
As he stood up and got prepared to leave, Jeffery called out to him in a soft voice, "Jameson, talk to me."
In the garden.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Jeffery tended the flowers in front of him.
"Don't take what Evie said to heart.She's been in a bad mood ever since I had the accident.No doctor can find a cure for me.’’
Jameson stood behind him and gave a gentle hum before laughing self-deprecatingly, "What she said was true.’’
"Jameson."
Jeffery put down the scissors and turned around the wheelchair to face Jameson.
