He spent a fortune rebuilding it, took in elderly people abandoned by their children, gave them shelter, and provided free medical care. He's also incredibly kind to us staff, even buying us insurance! "Mr. Schmidt is a true philanthropist with a heart of gold. How can you call him a heartless monster?

"Everyone was busy at the time. I just happened to-to see her walk in. I don't know about any schemes. I don't know anything about it!" With a serious look on his face, Cyrus leaned in to whisper to Jasper. "Jasper, he doesn't seem to be lying." "Is Jameson's mother still here? Take us to her."
