Chapter 864

Jordan felt relieved to see how much Carole cared about his health.

He smiled, shaking his head a little, and gestured to the chair next to the bed.

“Take a seat.

No need to call the doctor.

I’m okay.

Don’t worry,” Jordan said with a smile.

“But the doctor said that your health…” Carole mumbled, her brow furrowing slightly.

Jordan’s once pale lips had now regained their color,.

“Ah, it was all just a little act for Domenic, even what the doctor said,”

Jordan said in his usual calm tone.

Carole was taken aback by his words.

What did Jordan mean? Wait…

Did he fake being sick? But why?

Jordan could tell Carole was caught off guard by his words.

He sighed and opened up.

“Domenic is really got it together, you know? Strategic and all.

Honestly, he’s like a younger version of me, maybe even sharper in some ways.

Skill-wise, it’s high time he stepped up to lead the Walsh Group, but…”

Jordan paused, then spoke again in a serious tone.

“But now he’s grown, with his own vision.

Sooner or later, I won’t be able to keep him in check.

”

Turns out, Jordan had a solid handle on the whole situation.

Carole paid close attention as he spoke.

“You know, I’m aware of what Domenic has done abroad, but he hasn’t been wise enough.

If he were truly ruthless, Herbert wouldn’t still be alive, posing a threat to him.

And as for Kent, well, he brought about his own demise with his stupidity and arrogance.

He couldn’t escape his fate.

In the end, he ended up joining his late brother.

Karma is a bitch; he had to pay for his sins with his life.

”

Jordan’s words gave Carole goosebumps.

Even though Jordan’s own son had passed away, Jordan stayed ice-cold, acting like it didn’t faze him at all.

He even said that Domenic was not bold and ruthless enough.

Plus, it seemed that he was pretty let down that Domenic hadn’t killed Herbert yet.

In actuality, Carole was unaware of the much harsher realities Jordan had faced when he was young.

Once upon a time, the wealthiest family in Morcastle wasn’t the Walshes, but the Geller family.

Jordan’s wife was a member of the Geller family.

Jordan was once under their thumb.

He started from the ground up and eventually created the Walsh Group, making his family the second most powerful in Morcastle.

And then, he tore down his wife’s family all on his own.

Consequently, the Walsh family seized all the assets of the Geller family, rising as the most formidable force in Morcastle.

To this day, no one could rival them.

Jordan’s own humble beginnings made him especially wary of kids from ordinary families.

They might seem all honest and friendly on the surface, but deep down, they were often hiding some seriously ambitious and shady intentions.

Actually, Jordan wasn’t too happy with his four sons.

But his grandson Domenic inherited all his strengths, except for one thing.

He was tender-hearted and overcautious, traits he got from his father, and Jordan disliked them the most.

If Jordan were in Domenic’s shoes, Herbert would have been killed.

He was well aware of Domenic’s weakness.

Despite Domenic’s facade of coldness and ruthlessness, he was actually soft inside.

That was why Jordan feigned his illness.

This tactic led Domenic to compromise and obediently heed his orders.

Jordan had everything arranged before Domenic returned home.

Even the conversation with Rupert was part of his plan.

Jordan underwent a yearly physical examination and was in good health.

Carole was totally surprised by how clever Jordan was, and at the same time, she was happy to hear that he was in good health.

Now, she could breathe easy with no worries.

With tears welling up, Carole hugged Jordan tightly.

Her face looked so sad as she said in a shaky, teary voice, “Please give me a heads up next time before you do something like that.

It really scared me this time.

I’m relieved that you’re okay.

And you have no idea how worried Domenic was when you passed out…”
