After taking care of the matter, the butler handed Roscoe's phone to Miguel. "Sir, this is your son's phone. It's been ringing continuously, and a woman named Nicole has been trying to get in touch with him. I'm uncertain if she knows something. Do you want to deal with it?"

The butler had been working for Miguel for years, his ruthless nature and remarkable competence having earned Miguel's trust.

Miguel saw the flashing notifications for the missed calls and messages on Roscoe's phone, and his silver eyebrows knitted together.

"This woman is truly..." Miguel stroked his mustache and commented, "But I still don't know the intentions of that Schultz family's bastard. I will first need to figure that out before I decide if I should kill her or spare her."

Miguel only made a show of respecting Jarrod. In reality, he deeply loathed Jarrod since Jarrod had made the Watts family suffer a lot because of Roscoe, a man who shared a past with Nicole.

To be noted, Jarrod was incredibly powerful and decisive, coupled with his ruthless nature. The legend of the achievements he had gained abroad had been circulating in the circle for numerous years.

Nobody in the Watts family had the nerve to act recklessly against Jarrod. After all, the Watts family was still concerned about the safety of its family members.

But the butler thought differently. In his eyes, anyone who posed to be a threat to the well-devised plan deserved to be eliminated.

Erring on the side of caution was always the wise choice.

"Sir, this woman is a nuisance. We can't allow her to create trouble at the wedding for that could be disastrous if we end up offending the Schultz family while losing control of your son. Who knows whether there won't be any more trouble?" the butler asked.

The butler was loyal and sincere, but he had already made up his mind. Regardless of whether Miguel gave his consent or not, Nicole had to be killed. Anyone who jeopardized the Watts family's heir to the throne would be eliminated. Of course, Roscoe wasn't the heir.

Miguel was convinced by the butler and thought it was right. Nicole was indeed a nuisance. In the past, Roscoe had defied him several times because of her. Since that was the case, they had to deal with it thoroughly and cleanly.

Miguel instructed the butler, "Find someone to take care of it on the down-low. Sell her in the black market or something. Be meticulous, and ensure she doesn't appear again."

"I'll deal with it immediately." The butler left to make arrangements.

Miguel relaxed into the recliner, stroking his mustache, his mind racing. Jarrod had been a big thorn in his side. This time, he was going to set Jarrod up.

Jarrod was the one who had proposed that Roscoe and Doreen should get married. Jarrod's keen intelligence suggested he was probably already aware that Roscoe was not the wanted heir of the Watts family and the reason for announcing Roscoe's impending control of the Watts Group was simply to make him a scapegoat.

Miguel would not let Roscoe, a child out of wedlock, also known as the very proof of his sowing wild oats amid his younger days and his once-ruined reputation, take over the Watts family. Truth be told, Miguel didn't feel a hint of sorry for Roscoe who was being schemed against to shoulder all the wrongdoings the other members of the Watts family had done.

Ever a shrewd man, Miguel disguised his true emotions well and only revealed his disgust against Roscoe when he was alone.

On her way to work, Nicole got a call from the sanatorium, informing her that her mother's condition had deteriorated.

Nicole instantly flew into a state of panic and requested a night off from Jemma to check in on her mother. Since the sanatorium and Kingbel Club were in opposite directions, she wouldn't be able to reach work on time if she went to the sanatorium.
