Jason’s really grown some nerve,‘ he thought bitterly,
It was unsettling how little Jason seemed to care about Rosalie’s feelings now.

More unsettling was how the usually quiet young man now spoke with a venomous sharpness, as though his entire nature had shifted.
‘What could have made Jason change so much?‘ Adam wondered.
It was not a change he welcomed and one he intended to investigate thoroughly.
After a moment’s thought, Adam said to Rosalie, “Why don’t you go see him yourself in a few days p>
“He’s still struggling to get around, so it’s no wonder he’s been so out of sorts lately.
“As parents, we need to be patient with him p>
“Try not to get into another argument. Just talk things through calmly p>
“We can’t let him do anything rash p>
He couldn’t risk Jason cutting ties completely.
With the bitterness Jason held toward him and Victor, reaching out himself would only make things worse.
It had to be Rosalie. Her connection to Jason was the one thread they couldn’t afford to lose.
Adam also felt heartbroken over the loss of his second son, but what was gone was gone, and Victor hadn’t meant to harm him on purpose.
Victor had only intended to teach him a lesson. He never expected the car accident to turn so tragic.
As long as Jason didn’t obsess over revenge and turn against them, Adam wouldn’t have done anything to him.
After all, no matter what, Jason was still his own flesh and blood.
But if Jason insisted on fixating on Victor and refusing to let go, Adam couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Hearing Adam’s words, Rosalie replied with clear irritation, “After all he’s done, you’re still making excuses for him. What a shame he’ll never understand how much you’ve sacrificed for him p>
She continued, “I’ll go see him in a few days. Don’t worry p>
Though privately uneasy, she was determined not to let Jason slip beyond her influence.
As for the Hammond family matter, Adam had no choice but to seek help from an old friend to temporarily suppress the trending online topic.

At his hotel, Jason paused in thought before sending Alicia a message, asking if she might have time for a phone call.
Seeing his text, Alicia left the training room with her phone and stepped onto a quiet balcony before dialing
his number.
Jason answered promptly. “Alicia, I need your advice on something p>
“What’s on your mind?” she asked warmly.
Jason recounted his mother’s call pressuring him to remove the trending topic.
“They keep causing trouble for me,” he said. “I think it’s time I returned the favor. How would you suggest I strike back p>
He added, “I’m already targeting their business interests and setting traps there. This time, though, I want to hit them where it really hurts–their reputation p>
Alicia immediately sensed that Rosalie must have provoked him deeply.
“Adam, much like Leo, is very image–conscious,” she said. “Victor spent years spreading rumors about you, and your father never missed a chance to criticize you behind your back for being ‘difficult p>
She thought for a moment before suggesting, “You know what you should do? Get them trending. Make it
messy.
“Something like… ‘Adam’s mystery date revealed to be his eldest son’s secret fling! That kind of thing.
“The juicier, the better. Total tabloid bait p>
“And if you’ve got photos? Even more perfect.
“Adam and Victor have built their whole image on being squeaky–clean. Can you imagine the fireworks if a story like that dropped p>
Everyone loves a juicy scandal from the high–society crowd.
In her past life, when Alicia worked with Jason, Victor couldn’t resist stirring up rumors.
He painted Jason as someone who acted all proper in public but played wild behind the scenes, even claiming that Jason was keeping Alicia as his mistress.
Victor went as far as buying a trending hashtag, spreading rumors like Jason and Nicolas throw hands over Alicia and accusing her of two–timing both of them.
Later, she and Jason had made sure to retaliate in kind.
This time, Alicia thought it would be fitting to use Victor’s own tactics and let him experience firsthand what it felt like.
