“Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why I hadn’t seen her lately. She’s probably too embarrassed to show her face in public anymore.”
Jeremy nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked at Landon seriously. “During this time when you’ve been staying with Lauren, you didn’t do anything to her, did you?”
At this question, Landon’s heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly recalled the scene from last night where he and Lauren were entangled in the bathroom, kissing as if they couldn’t bear to part. At once, he felt a rush of heat from his lower abdomen.
Just as he was unsure how to answer, Xavier urgently ran over from the other end of the corridor.
“M-Mr. Walsh, Ms. Alyssa is here.”
Hearing that, Landon widened his eyes and looked at Jeremy.
Meanwhile, upon hearing that Alyssa was here, Jeremy seemed to be in a daze and asked again, “Who’s here?”
“Ms. Alyssa. Alyssa Taylor. She’s in the banquet hall right now.” Xavier was ecstatic and couldn’t stop grinning.
That was because he hadn’t seen his boss’ wife for quite some time.
He didn’t know whether Jeremy missed her, but Xavier missed her quite a bit.
“Jeremy, is Lyse here to see you? Damn, your patience paid off!” Landon excitedly patted Jeremy on the shoulder.
“Many elite figures in Solana City will be at the cocktail party tonight.”
Suppressing his emotions, Jeremy said solemnly, “She might just be here to expand her social network. After all, she will inherit the Taylor family business.”
“My goodness. Why don’t you think positively for once? You’re really something else.”
Landon turned to Xavier and asked, “Did Lyse come alone, or did she come with Jonah?”
Xavier replied, “Neither. She came with a stranger.”
“Is it that bastard, Schmidt?” Landon thought of Jameson and couldn’t help but get angry.
“No, it’s not him. It’s a guy who looks … exceptionally beautiful, somewhat androgynous.”
Although Xavier only glanced at Julien from a distance, the latter left a deep impression because of his extraordinary appearance.
Upon hearing this, Jeremy had a surge of emotions.
It wasn’t one of Alyssa’s brothers, not Jameson, and not even someone that Xavier knew.
He thought he had completely given up on Alyssa. However, whenever there was something related to her, he couldn’t ignore it.
There were many people around.
But the moment when Jeremy and Alyssa made eye contact, it seemed as if everything fell silent, and all the noise around them disappeared.
Seeing her crush, Renee was so excited that her eyes lit up.
She quickly took out her powder compact and touched up her makeup. Then she walked toward Jeremy excitedly.
However, she had only walked halfway when several socialites crowded around, pushing her to the outermost circle.
Renee anxiously clutched her dress.
Why was it so difficult to get close to Jeremy?
But Alyssa had secretly married this outstanding man. Why was God so unfair? Why did Alyssa get all the good things?
The more Renee thought about it, the more annoyed and unfair she felt. She angrily squeezed her way to the front.
Jeremy was just right in front of her. After thinking briefly, she pretended to be unsteady. With a shout, she directly threw herself at Jeremy.
At once, Jeremy frowned. He had wanted to dodge, but with people on all sides, there was nowhere to evade. As a result, Renee crashed into his arms.
The sweet and nauseating scent of perfume overwhelmed him, making him dizzy. He felt the urge to kick her aside.
“Mr. Walsh, I’m so sorry. I lost my balance for a moment. I’m really sorry.” Renee pressed her hands against his chest, acting coquettish, but she was overjoyed inside.
No man could resist a woman who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, especially such a beautiful woman.
However, the instant Renee lifted her eyes to meet Jeremy’s gaze, she shivered. At the same time, she had goosebumps all over her body.
His incredibly charming eyes showed no emotion as they coldly stared at her. She felt as though she had fallen into an icy abyss.
At this moment, Sophia and Betty happened to walk down the stairs, witnessing the scene.
Betty had just fixed her face. However, she hadn’t fully recovered, so she had to conceal the scars on her face with thick makeup.
“Who’s that woman who threw herself at Jeremy?” Sophia yawned.
Just last night, she had a date with the handsome young doctor while Javier was overseas. They played “poker” all night, and her waist still hurt a bit.
She felt that young people were indeed the best.
Sophia even thought that meeting the doctor had rejuvenated her.
“Let me see.”
Betty squinted and carefully observed before recalling, “Oh, her name is Renee. She’s from the Taylor family.”
“The Taylor family? Why do they keep producing these vixens?” Sophia felt annoyed as soon as she heard the Taylor family’s name and quickly classified Renee.
On second thought, Zoe could help Betty get revenge against Lauren and Landon. She found some solace in this thought.
However, as Betty’s eyes wandered absentmindedly, they fell upon Landon sitting on a sofa in the corner.
She felt traumatized. Instantly, her legs went weak, and she ended up sitting on the stairs.
The people around all turned to look at Betty. Seeing her embarrassed look, they burst into quiet laughter.
“What are you doing?”
Sophia looked at Betty with disdain. “There are so many people watching. Get up quickly.”
However, Betty’s legs were trembling, and she found it difficult to stand up.
For the first time in her life, she experienced the taste of being threatened, suppressed, and tormented by trauma.
As Betty contemplated Landon, her thoughts swirled with anger, painting him in her mind as an embodiment of malevolence.
Alyssa watched as Renee threw herself at Jeremy, and he didn’t immediately push her away.
Swiftly coursing through her, a chilling sensation, as if piercing her heart, transformed her expression into one of icy composure.
Julien casually took a sip from his champagne flute and propped his elbow on the table. With a playful gaze, he looked at the lively crowd around Jeremy.
He clicked his tongue twice and said, “Alyssa, I now understand why you two divorced. He’s too outstanding. Living with him means trouble every day. You won’t feel safe at all.
“Look, he should be feeling quite pleased right now. He has probably forgotten about you. You really are going out of your way for him unnecessarily.”
“Don’t you think you’re talking too much nonsense?” Alyssa coldly shot him a glance.
“But this is not nonsense. It’s the truth. It’s also because you’re my cousin that I’m saying all this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother talking.” Julien smirked playfully.
“Get lost,” Jeremy said coldly to Renee.
“What? Ah!”
Before Renee could react, Jeremy forcefully pushed her away, sending her tumbling backward.
With unstable footing and high heels, she tilted backward and fell.
Seeing that, the two women behind her quickly dodged, letting Renee awkwardly fall to the ground.
