Chapter: 2804
Just then, Miguel hastily intervened. "What are you guys waiting for? Remove her quickly! It's not Roscoe's time to take charge of the Watts family yet."
His tone dripped with malice as he commanded, "Take this woman away, now!"
The bodyguards took note. Now the one in charge of the Watts family was Miguel. It wasn't Roscoe's turn yet.
Roscoe could only watch in agony as Nicole was forcibly removed, the pain in his head rendering him speechless.
Soon after, overwhelmed, Roscoe collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud. He had actually passed out!
The remaining bodyguards on stage acted swiftly, carrying Roscoe to the restroom on a stretcher.
The host promptly managed the situation and announced, "The groom seems to be feeling ill. We'll entertain you with some music and dance while he rests. Then, we'll proceed with the ceremony."
As the host made the announcement, a popular singer took the stage, capturing the audience's attention immediately.
In the lounge.
Miguel turned to the woman in red beside him and asked coldly, "How can we wake him up?"
The woman in red assessed Roscoe's condition, checked his pulse, and then gazed at the elderly man with a white beard standing beside her.
She began to speak in an unintelligible Language.
The elderly man listened attentively before shaking his head and waving his hand, uttering a lengthy response.
Miguel, puzzled by the exchange, sensed that the situation was dire.
Turning to Miguel, the woman in red explained, “My master believes this is a result of the overdosage. The excessive amount that had been administered had overloaded his brain. Any outside stimuli could cause turmoil in his head. It could be said that he was quite tough since others might have been sentenced to brain death while he simply passed out."
Miguel caressed his beard contemplatively and declared, "We must ensure the wedding proceeds. Find a way to make it happen!"
The woman in red responded cautiously, "Sir, our only option is to administer a parasite that will awaken him, but it will severely damage his body. This parasite targets the brain, and it's probable that your son will..."
She trailed off, leaving the grim implication hanging in the air. It was clear to all. Roscoe's chances of survival were slim.
Miguel's concerns were elsewhere, focused solely on his personal interests, He still possessed assets he hadn't yet transferred abroad and needed Roscoe, the heir he claimed to pass over the control of the Watts family, to shoulder all the blame for the wrongdoings the other members of the Watts family had done. Thus, Roscoe's survival was crucial, but only for now.
If Roscoe were to die right now, Miguel's elaborate scheme would be shattered apart, potentially dragging the Schultz family down. Jarrod, unaware of Miguel's true motives, would otherwise never agree to Doreen marrying Roscoe despite her affection.
