“If you still choose not to listen to me, I’ll have to choose not to see you again.”
Alyssa had tried her best to soften the blow and reject him politely.
Yet, each word was like a cold dagger piercing Jameson’s heart, leaving a trail of blood.
He gasped hard. His fair complexion was now completely drained of color. He clenched his fists.
He loved Alyssa with all his heart. Yet she treated his heart like a target, aiming her arrows at it again and again. He was deeply hurt. He wondered why she was so cruel to him.
In the tense atmosphere, Alyssa’s phone vibrated.
She looked down at her phone screen. Nina’s name appeared. Her heart shuddered as she quickly answered.
“What’s wrong?” She lowered her voice since she had company.
“Ms. Taylor, a¨Care you free tonight? I need to see you!”
Nina sounded anxious. She was whispering. “I have something important to tell you. But I’m with the Walsh family now. They have eyes everywhere, so I can’t tell you over the phone,”
Alyssa’s heart was caught in her throat. She looked at her watch for the time. “I’ll find you tonight. Let’s talk when we meet.”
Jameson didn’t move an inch. He observed her silently. She spoke very softly, so he didn’t hear a thing.
“No, no! Please don’t come to me. I will come to you.”
Nina was trembling in fear. Her voice shook as she repeated, “I will come to you. Let me know where to meet you
“Okay, I’ll send you a location shortly.”
Alyssa knew Nina was in danger, so she didn’t say more than she needed to. She hastily hung up.
Jameson noticed the inexplicable look on her face and asked, “Did something happen, Lyse? Is there anything I can help you with?”
“There’s no need!” Alyssa rejected him with lightning speed.
Jameson was stunned. His eyes looked glum. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get close to her.
An invisible block of ice stood firmly before her. He wondered if he would ever break that barrier between them.
Alyssa took a deep breath as she massaged her temple. “I’m sorry, Jimmy. You don’t need to take me back to Belbanks. I have some matters to attend to at the hotel. I’ll drop you back.”
Nina paced back and forth in the garden after speaking to Alyssa on the phone. She was in distress.
This was the first time she had ever done something like this in her life. Her heart wasn’t strong enough to take it.
She returned to the villa anxiously.
All of a sudden, her heart stopped for a second. Jeremy, who hadn’t returned for a long time, entered the Exvilla.
“Mr. Walsh… Mr. Walsh!”
Nina broke into a sweat. Her face paled as she ran after Jeremy. She went in front of him to block him. had be She had been working as a maid here for many years, but she never dared to talk to him. She had no idea where she got the courage to charge toward him.
Jeremy frowned slightly. “What can I do for you?”
“I¨CI… You…” Nina cursed herself for getting tongue¨Ctied now.
“You can take your time.” Jeremy looked at her lightly.
He had never had this level of patience before. Now, Alyssa had completely influenced him. He was more easygoing and rational now
Nina bit her lip hard. Her face reddened. She contemplated telling Jeremy the truth¨Cthat Sophia had killed his mother.
She doubted if Jeremy would believe her.
She took a step forward. She made sure no one was around and lowered his voice. “Mr. Walsh, I’m meeting with Ms. Taylor in secret somewhere tonight. C¨CCan you join us?”
Jeremy was shocked as his eyes constricted. He leaned his body forward abruptly. “What did you say? You are meeting-“
“Nina! What are you doing?”
Suddenly, a shrill voice came from above them.
Nina looked up and saw Betty’s fierce expression. She was terrified.
Jeremy noticed how oddly she was behaving. He had noticed her stuttering earlier. He deduced that Betty
Or was that a secret plen for help?
Eyes blazing. Jeremy felt invigorated and needed. He had a strong urge to protect Alyssa.
Xavier asked with concern, “Mr. Walsh, do you want me to go with you?”
Sighing, Jeremy shook his head. “No. Nina only wants me there, meaning they don’t want the others to learn about their plan.”
Still concerned, Xavier said, “Does Ms. Alyssa know you’ll be there? If it’s only Nina’s wish for you to be there, will Ms. Alyssa be angry when she sees you?”
“If that’s the case, I’ll keep an eye on her from afar,” Jeremy replied.
His eyes filled with affection when he thought of Alyssa. He said, ‘She’s always out creating trouble. I’m worried about her.”
At 9:00 pm, Becky left the house, all dressed up. Soon after she left, Nina, dressed in black and wearing a cap, sneaked out of Seaview Manor from the back entrance
After Nina was gone, a black sedan silently emerged from the shadows. The driver asked, “Ms. Betty, do we tail her?”
Jeffrey Snyder was a trusted staff member who worked as a special assistant for Sophia. Since he had served Sophia and Betty for many years, Sophia had ordered him to assist Betty’s mission that night.
Betty replied, “No, we don’t have to. We’ll make her suffer for selling us out. If we tail her closely, we might land in trouble if someone takes photos of us.”
After years of living with and learning from Sophia, Betty had honed her skills in executing unscrupulous plans.
“Alright. I’ll wait for Madam Sophia’s orders and take action when the time comes,” said Jeffrey unemotionally, just like a robot.
Betty asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“Get up here quickly. I received some clothes earlier. Come and help me organize them. Hurry up!”
Yes. Ms. Betty Nina pursed her lips. Torn, she looked at Jeremy.
Jeremy inched closer to her. He spoke to her voice in a voice only audible to both of them, “I will ask
Xavier to get in touch with you. Please let him know where you are meeting Ms. Taylor tonight.”
Nina returned to Betty’s room at lightning speed. Betty had a mountain of clothes for her to manage.
Betty sat on her couch with her legs crossed. She drank some wine as she stared coldly at Nina, who was working busily
“What did you tell Jeremy earlier?
Nina felt like she had a knife at her back. She tried her best to say firmly, “I bumped into Mr. Walsh, so I greeted him. He asked me to get him a bottle of red wine from the wine cellar and take it to his study.
“Hmph, Jeremy is surrounded by tons of maids to help him. He has Xavier, too. Why would he ask you?”
Betty’s eyes turned grim as she mocked, “Don’t tell me you have other intentions. Are you trying to curry favor and win him over? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Know your place.”
Nina heard the insult and let out a sigh of relief.
“Nina, you know how close I am to Jeremy. If you run to him and tell him some nonsense, I will make sure it will be the end of you
“Okay, I understand.” Nina complied,
Betty lazily leaned on the couch. I’m going out for some fun and probably won’t come back tonight.”
Nina was secretly overjoyed when she heard that. She had been worried about how she would excuse. herself to see Alyssa. Now, the chance had fallen into her lap.
“You don’t need to serve me tonight. You can bead back and rest earlier. Consider this a holiday from me.
