Though Alec saw through Miguels facade, he was powerless to intervene. He had sensed Miguels ulterior motives but remained uncertain of their nature. Vigilance was imperative.
Alec scoffed. Mr. Watts, save your words for Mr. Schultz when he regains consciousness. Dont presume that you wield unchecked authority and can do whatever you want merely because your son married someone from the Schultz family! Your understanding of Mr. Schultz seems sorely lacking!
