Chapter 49
“Why are you all here? It’s not like I’m seriously injured.” Jaydon looked at his family indifferently. Although he was still sleepy, the leadership soul that was born with him radiated out.

concernedly. She quietly pulled her husband, Sam, and asked him to say something.
Sam cleared his throat and said, “Yeah, Jaydon, you were in a bad spot this time. We didn’t sleep all night after receiving the
news.”
“Oh, this is just unfortunate. I hope the recovery won’t be long.” Kyla smiled gently and intelligently.
“That’s right! That dam*n snake didn’t know who it was biting. Luckily, it wasn’t a fatal bite,” Amira agreed with Kyla’s words and tried to cheer Jaydon.
When Scott heard everyone was flattering Jaydon, he didn’t want to be outdone and said. “Jaydon, you better have a good rest. I will help you manage the company’s affairs for now.”
“That’s right! Your recovery is a top priority. Just put other things aside for now.” Brandon smiled respectfully. He was only one year younger than Jaydon, but he was quite an influential figure.
Seeing the gesture of Jaydon’s cousins, Alita laughed in her heart. His cousins looked as if they cared and were sympathetic But she knew they all wished for Jaydon to take a lethal bite and die. That way, they would have the opportunity to be the company’s heir.
Jaydon didn’t bother looking for the hidden meaning behind his cousins kind gestures. In his opinion, what they did was common, and so was a combination of interests. Thank you for your concern. I’m touched by the attention you all give.” He smiled calmly.
“Jaydon, it’s because of Alita that you are saved.” Shania looked at Jaydon with a loving smile. She was the only one who kept her distance from the family’s quarrel for power.
“I know that,” Jaydon nodded to his aunt.
Meanwhile, Marcelo clasped his hands, glanced at Alita, and said with a stern face, “That’s what she has to do. Anyway, we’v all been here for a while, so why don’t you pour us a glass of water, Alita? Being in our family for a while, you know it’s a basic manner to serve guests, right?”
Marcelo disliked Alita from the beginning. He had felt disgusted with her existence since she entered the Lewis Family. There was also Samuel, whom he hated. Being born with a humble background but won his father’s heart. He thought it wasn’t fair. It should’ve been his family who got the exclusive treatment.
When everyone heard Marcelo’s complaint, everyone else chuckled.
“Marcelo, what is wrong with you?” Shania looked at Marcelo in annoyance, then looked at Alita in sympathy.
But Alita stood up calmly and smiled brightly at Marcelo. “I’m sorry, Uncle, I was negligent Ill pour one for you right now.” She was about to leave when her hand was grabbed by someone
seeing
When Alita turned around, she saw Jaydon’s hand holding her tightly. His hand was long and slender. Just se his hand, one could already guess how handsome the person would be.
On the other hand, Jaydon’s subtle move shocked everyone. What does he want to do? Why are you holding her back?’ Such a question emerged in everyone’s heart, and Alita was no exception.
“Uncle, my wife is also a patient,” Jaydon spoke patiently but firmly. His green eyes stared directly at Marcelo without revealing much of his emotion, making it difficult for people to understand. But intelligent people would understand what
he meant without explanation.
