“I address you as Sophia only because you have served my dad for almost 30 years. Elder? Huh, you’re not worthy of it.” Jeremy’s laughter sent chills down people’s spines with its coldness.
The people from the Harper family saw that a fight was about to break out, and they couldn’t leave.
How could they miss such a lively scene?
“My mother is my limit. Anyone who crosses it shouldn’t expect respect from me. I might even go to Li extent of taking their life,” declared Jeremy with cold determination in his eyes.
As he uttered those words, he glanced in Alyssa’s direction.
Jeremy didn’t voice it out loud, but Alyssa was also his limit.
However, in Alyssa’s heart, was he truly her limit? He might not even measure up to Jameson in her eyes.
As Jeremy pondered, he experienced an overwhelming mix of discontent, anger, and loss, making it unbearable. He forcefully averted his gaze from Alyssa’s captivating beauty, no longer looking at her.
As if they shared a telepathic connection, Alyssa stole a glance at him. Upon witnessing his cold, determined gaze fixed ahead, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
Sophia shivered violently. Her heart leaped into her throat, making it difficult to breathe. Now, Javier had lost control over Jeremy, and her man was no longer a reliable pillar of support.
If he found out she had caused his mother’s depression to worsen, there would be no escape for her!
She had bribed a maid back then. This maid was the one Anne trusted the most, second only to Rosie.
She made her change the depression medication to a central nervous system stimulant.
Over time, this not only accelerated physical problems caused by depression but also induced emotional distress, breathing issues, and even hallucinations.
In the last few months of Anne’s life, she left this world under the dual torment of physical and mental pain.
The revelation of this secret must remain buried in the shadows.
The day it sees the light of day would spell Sophia’s doom.
Sophia clung to Javier’s clothes. Her tears streaming down as she pleaded, “Javier, are you truly going to stand by and witness me being beaten like this? I’m your wife.”
Having been unsuccessful in maintaining an assertive front, she had to resort to portraying herself as pitiable.
She understood Javier very well. He was most vulnerable to this.
Javier held his breath while supporting Sophia, his hand stiffening.
“Go back to your room, freshen up. I’ll arrange for Betty and the secretary to take you to the hospital.”
“No,” Jeremy responded coldly.
“Jeremy, what are you planning again?” Javier’s brows furrowed.
Jeremy, too, furrowed his brows, and his gaze turned intimidating.
“It’s just a slap. It won’t be fatal. But the issue between Sophia and Alyssa must be settled tonight.”
Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat, and she bit her lips lightly.
“How many times do I have to say it? Lyla’s case has nothing to do with me. I don’t even know the attacker! Alyssa made it up to frame me!” Sophia hysterically shouted.
“Mrs. Walsh, consider heeding Mr. Javier’s advice and visiting the hospital for a check-up. It’s essential to rule out any early signs of dementia,” Alyssa said, glancing at Sophia’s pale face with disdain.
Sophia seethed through gritted teeth, “Alyssa!”
After hearing this, Cornelius raised his gray eyebrows. “Is this girl from the Taylor family really that outspoken?”
“Yeah, Dad. Alyssa Taylor has always been like this, aggressive and hot-tempered in her actions.”
Penelope resembles Aunt Alexandra from “To Kill a Mockingbird”. Naturally, she disapproved of Alyssa’s behavior.
Cornelius cleared his throat before saying, “It’s fine for a girl to be a bit fierce and hot-tempered. This girl’s family background matches her temper. She looks beautiful, too. It’s just a pity she’s a divorcee.
Otherwise, she would be a good match for Landon.”
Penelope stood in stunned silence, shocked.
Zoe was scared, her heart racing. “Grandpa! What are you saying? Alyssa is just a second-hand item that
Jeremy rejected. How could she be a match for my brother?”
“Second-hand? Ms. Alyssa is exceptional. Even if she’s been divorced a hundred times, I’m sure there would still be men eager to be with her,” Cornelius remarked nonchalantly.
Landon smirked. His lips curled as he looked at Alyssa.
“Grandpa, truth be told, when I first saw Alyssa, I was deeply captivated. I Immediately pursued her passionately.”
Zoe gritted her teeth as she listened, despising every bit of it.
“What? You pursued this Taylor girl?”
Surprised, Cornelius asked with curiosity, “Why didn’t you two end up together? I heard people say you’re quite the ladies’ man.”
Penelope was speechless hearing the conversation.
“Well, she wasn’t interested in me,” Landon confessed, scratching his head sheepishly.
“Even you weren’t good enough? Does she think she can marry someone from heaven?” Cornelius was somewhat displeased.
But considering Alyssa’s ex-husband was Jeremy, his grandson’s defeat wasn’t too embarrassing.
“30 years ago, a guy named Ronald Branson worked at TS Network. He not only teamed up with you in numerous shows but also served you in various capacities for a long time. Your connection with him is quite peculiar.
“Even Lyla and many famous TS Network directors are familiar with Ronald. Yet, you insist on not knowing him. Are you certain it’s not a memory lapse or dementia?” Alyssa scrutinized Sophia with a stern look.
Sophia, with intelligence seemingly only fit for planting rice, somehow ascended from humble origins to a position among the wealthy and privileged.
One could only say that Javier was more blind than his own son.
Sophia stubbornly defended herself, stating, “I don’t know any Ronalds! Does that mean I must know them just because they know me?”
“Mrs. Walsh, you forget things too easily. Let me jog your memory a bit.”
Alyssa descended the stairs gracefully and approached the Walsh couple.
Before Sophia’s eyes, a cold glint appeared. It was an elegant silver lily-shaped platinum pendant. It was gleaming cold like a sharp blade poised to slit her throat at any moment!
Her heart raced, and her lips trembled.
In bewilderment, she couldn’t help but wonder how it ended up in Alyssa’s hands. It was impossible.
Javier furrowed his brows, sensing Sophia trembling in his embrace. Despite her efforts to conceal it, the tremors were evident.
“What’s this? Why are you showing me this?” Sophia evaded Alyssa’s gaze.
“Sophie, I remember. This is your necklace.” Javier’s expression tightened, and he spoke with a stern tone.
“When we first met, you always wore it. You said it was the only thing your mother left you, a precious heirloom. But one day, you stopped wearing it. I asked where it went, and you said you accidentally lost it while filming, and it made you sad for a long time. I remember it’s this lily pendant necklace.”
Sophia’s ears rang with a deafening noise!
She remembered now. She did tell Javier that-specifically, she fabricated this lie to gain his affection.
Over the years, Sophia built herself on countless lies. There were too many lies for her to remember.
“So, this necklace was your mother’s heirloom, Mrs. Walsh? Oh, that’s something significant for you.”
Alyssa observed the pendant, her eyes glinting with a cold light.
“Why would such a significant item be in the possession of that attacker? It was carefully kept in an exquisite jewelry box when we discovered it. It appears that this necklace holds importance for Mr.
