He would only use his personal phone to call her privately, so this time was a bit unusual.
Alyssa’s heart tightened, and she answered the call, slowly placing the phone to her ear, but remained silent.
“Lyse!” Jeremy’s voice was hoarse and unrecognizable.
Alyssa didn’t reply. She kept her lips tightly sealed. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
“Lyse, please believe me, I’ve been set up by someone!”
Jeremy knew it wasn’t easy to get her to answer the call, so he didn’t waste time and got to the point.
This is a complex setup. Zoe couldn’t have done it alone. Someone must be backing her!
“And t the bait set by the other party wasn’t Zoe. It was you!”
Alyssa, with her eyes cast down, spoke slowly. “Let’s meet at the City Center Amusement Park near KS
World in half an hour.”
If she hadn’t answered Jonah’s call just now, Jeremy wouldn’t have had the chance to talk to her.
Now, she really wanted to hear what Jeremy had to say.
“Mr. Schmidt, Ms. Alyssa has left the hospital. She was driving by herself.”
Todd quickly returned to inform Jameson. “She stayed in the bathroom for quite a while, and when she left, she looked furious and even paler than you!”
Jameson leaned against the head of the bed and curled his lips. He wished for her anger, believing the more intense, the better.
A profound ache, like scraping to the bone, seemed the only effective way to expunge Jeremy entirely from her heart!
“Have someone closely follow Ms. Alyssa. And get a car ready for me. I’ll follow later to find her.”
Todd had thought about advising him. But he understood Jameson wouldn’t listen, so he simply agreed.
That’s not necessary.”
Jameson made a subtle gesture, and the pain prompted beads of sweat on his forehead, causing his jawline to stiffen.
FOOR
Todd felt disheartened observing Jameson in such a state. He sensed that this time, Jameson was wholeheartedly devoted and deeply in love with Alyssa.
He couldn’t comprehend how someone as astute as Jameson could appear worn and haggard for love. Jameson was competitive and never allowed himself to be in a weak position.
However, only Jameson knew what he was doing in his own heart.
In love, being dominant wasn’t always beneficial. Sometimes, being humble and showing vulnerability would yield better results.
Moreover, Alyssa was naturally a strong-willed woman, and after the hardships she endured because of
Jeremy, he wouldn’t let her suffer again. He would ensure she had the pride and self-esteem she deserved.
At this moment, the phone under the pillow vibrated.
Tood quickly picked it up and handed it to Jameson, saying, “Mr. Schmidt, it’s Ms. Arman.”
Jameson’s eyes darkened as he answered the phone. “Hello.”
“Mr. Schmidt, how was my performance?”
Ambe’s voice carried a cheerful tone with a touch of seduction. “I sent those photos to Jeremy, and he fell for it immediately. He rushed to the hotel and jumped into the trap eagerly.
“Hahaha! These supposed young geniuses and business prodigies are foolish when it comes to women, thinking only with their lower half of their body. These kinds of men aren’t a match to you.”
“Did you send those photos to his phone via text message?” Jameson asked casually.
“Yes.”
“Well, that makes things easier.” Jameson smiled faintly and added, “You did a big favor for me tonight.
Thanks for your hard work.”
“Mr. Schmidt, please don’t say that. I owe my life to you, and I’m willing to do anything for you,” Amber said softly, full of affection.
Jameson’s tone was stem, “I’ll send you a plane ticket and some money. You can go and enjoy yourself for a while. If you need more, just let Todd know, and he’ll send it to you.
e away?
Amber’s breath caught, and she became anxious. Thank you, Mr. Schmidt. Are you sending me
‘Jeremy fell for our trap. He won’t let it slide. He’ll start an investigation right away. He’s not foolish, but
Ms. Alyssa has thrown him off this time.
‘To avoid unnecessary trouble, you should lay low for now. Todd will temporarily handle things on The
Millennium’s side.”
“But…”
“Listen to me.” Jameson’s voice turned cold suddenly.
Amber’s throat tightened as she muttered, “Yes, Mr. Schmidt.”
Alyssa got to the park first because she was nearby.
The temperature had dropped suddenly that night, and heavy snowfall made the typically lively park exceptionally empty.
Alone on a bench, Alyssa stared at the quiet snowy night. She remembered the past three years when she used to come here during her free time, watching young couples sharing cotton candy and ice cream as they exchanged affectionate gestures.
She also observed young married couples coming with their children, creating a warm and happy atmosphere. Back then, she ofter wondered when it would be her turn to be like them.
Could she have a day like an ordinary couple, walking hand in hand with Jeremy in the park, sharing sweet moments?
Alyssa’s heart tightened as she exhaled visible puffs of breath. Her eyelashes glistened with tears.
At that moment, an ice cream truck passed by, prompting her to buy a vanilla ice cream.
Before she could take a bite, hurried footsteps crunched through the snow toward her.
“Lyse.”
Alyssa held the ice cream tightly. Her heart raced as she slowly looked up.
Standing before her was Jeremy, his thin suit and head covered in snow. His face and ears were red from the cold, but what captured her attention the most were his beautiful eyes.
Alyssa felt a lump in her throat. The scenarios she had imagined so many times hadn’t turned out as she had expected.
“Lyse, don’t sit here. It’s too cold. You’ll catch a cold.”
Jeremy’s throat tightened, filled with deep concern. He reached out his hand to her without hesitation.
Alyssa swatted his hand away and spoke in a tone colder than the snow. “So, you do know it’s cold. If you have something to say, say it.”
‘It was a setup. Someone is plotting against me to create a scandal. Someone wanted to come between us! Jeremy explained urgently, his distress evident.
“Us?” Alyssa laughed out loud. “There’s no us
Jeremy’s heart ached.
“Besides, in our divorced and estranged relationship, there’s nothing left to come between us,” Alyssa said.
‘Lyse, is this how you truly feel? Is this what you want?” Jeremy’s throat felt like it had been stabbed. A
strong sense of unease washed over him.
