He couldn’t help but frown and chuckle awkwardly. When she wasn’t paying attention, he picked up her silky hair behind her back and began twirling it around his fingers.
She was so petty.
She wasn’t the same person as the passionate woman last night.
It was only now that Alyssa found out what Jeremy had put Xavier up to. He had asked Xavier to tail and investigate Sophia.
Furthermore, Landon had come here because he also had important news that he wanted to report to Jeremy urgently.
“Did Sophia get in touch with that bastard, Jeffrey?” Jeremy questioned with a dark look in his eyes.
“No, she didn’t. With everyone watching so closely, she wouldn’t have the guts to meet him.
“If she did, wouldn’t she be signing her own death warrant? She would be telling the whole world about the both of them conspiring together,
“Xavier answered.
He was parched, so he took a few gulps of water before continuing, “I found out that she went to Solana Bank to meet with the bank’s president.”
Alyssa was quick to respond. She immediately asked, “Was she making a transaction for a large sum of money?”
Xavier gave Alyssa two thumbs-up. “You’re brilliant, Madam!” he praised.
Jeremy’s l*ps curled upward. He was extremely pleased to hear that salutation.
Alyssa was embarrassed and annoyed at the same time. But she was even more curious about what happened next. She pressed him on, saying, “Go on!”
“Then, I went through hoops to find out that Sophia has a secret account at Randerland Bank. I’m not sure how much money she has in there.
“But I was able to find out the sum that she was transferring from that account to Solana Bank. It was exactly 200 million dollars!”
Landon raised his brows. He couldn’t help but mock, “200 million. dollars? Wow, that bitch really stole a fortune for herself.”
Jeremy’s gaze turned cold. “That must be the money that Jeffrey demanded from her. It must be the money for him to escape and keep silent,” Jeremy sniggered.
“But what was more shocking to me was how Sophia could withdraw the ginormous sum of 200 million dollars so easily. Plus, it was withdrawn from Randerland Bank!” exclaimed Xavier.
Alyssa rested her finger on her chin as she scrunched up her brows in deep thought.
“As far as I’m aware, Sophia has some shares at Walsh Group. If she has been saving up her dividends each year, she’ll have more than 200 million by now. It’s not surprising that she was able to fork out
Jeremy looked straight at her and said, “Sophia has quite a significant amount of money. However, every cent of hers is within Javier’s purview.
“Her account at Walsh Group is completely transparent. In a way, this is one of the ways that Javier keeps her within his control.
“Hence, her savings in Randerland Bank must be her secret stash. Javier is in the dark about this. Moreover, the source of this money is unclear.
“She made use of Betty’s luxury store to cover it up. I have been keeping evidence of her bribery and money laundering. No matter -how hard they try, it wouldn’t be an easy feat to earn 200 million dollars through that luxury store.”
Alyssa twisted her b*dy to face him. The shape of her eyebrows showed that she was angry.
“Why haven’t you finished them off if you have evidence?” she queried.
Jeremy’s eyes turned dark. He let go of her hair, letting his hand fall naturally behind her lower back.
His touch was very gentle, so Alyssa didn’t even realize it.
However, his two other observers in the room noticed. Their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped in astonishment.
“Firstly, a mere luxury store wouldn’t be enough to take both Sophial and Betty down for good. Secondly, Javier will do everything he can to cover for them.
“If I were to strike out of the blue, I would be actually making an indirect attack at Walsh Group. If it affects the company’s shares, it could cost Walsh Group a loss beyond measure.”
Alyssa nodded slowly. She understood where he was coming from.
He wasn’t Javier’s only son. In the eyes of the world, he was an illegitimate son who had come into power. Javier still had another heir
-Justin.
She knew that it wasn’t an easy feat for Jeremy to rise to the president’s position. She also recognized how he had had to walk on thin ice all these years.
If he were to lose his power in Walsh Group, he would end up being trampled on. He needed to fight for the sake of his mother.
Jeremy thought of his mother’s tragic death. He felt extreme pain that made his breath labored.
“At that time, I didn’t know that Sophia was the culprit behind my mother’s death. All things considered, I chose not to expose her just yet.
“Lyse, you must feel like… like I’m a coward and so useless, right? I think so too. I think that I’m such a loser, and an extremely dumb one, at that.”
Landon and Xavier were stunned to hear that!
After all, they had just seen Jeremy after he had learned the truth.
Fortunately, he had been able to calm down, very much thanks to Alyssa’s company. Naturally, he hadn’t had the opportunity to share what had happened with them until now.
Alyssa’s heart ached when she saw how despondent he looked.
Her eyes turned slightly red. She was tempted to reach out and comfort him, but she was held back by her feeling of awkwardness.
So she just said to him in a warm voice, “It’s not your fault. You were still young back then. You weren’t aware of how cunning people can years to do so,”
Jeremy lifted his eyes in surprise. His gaze met hers, which was sparkling with confidence.
If it weren’t for the company they had, he would have embraced her, k*ssed her passionately, and given her all his affection…
“Other than that, you made a good point earlier. The evidence that you have on hand at the moment won’t be able to make much of an impact on Sophia and Betty.
“Javier will do whatever he can to protect them. Even if Sophia were to be imprisoned, she would probably be sentenced for just a few years.
“If Javier hires a top-notch lawyer like Simon to defend her, I’m guessing that she’ll be freed after a mere three to five years.”
Xavier sprung to his feet in anger. “That’s why we have to m that bitch gets punished for multiple charges and is imprisoned long as possible!” he exclaimed furiously.
“How would that be enough?”
It was as if Alyssa and Jeremy had read each other’s minds. They both cried out simultaneously, “An eye for an eye. She needs to be sentenced to death!”
“That’s right! The death penalty!” Xavier nodded in agreement. His face was red with anger.
“Heck, I just can’t understand why Mr. Javier fell in love with Sophia! She’s got neither compassion nor beauty. Mr. Walsh Senior is a wise man, yet he has such a foolish son!”
Landon clenched his fists in anger. His eyes were burning with rage.
“What must we do in order for Javier to give up on that bitch. completely?”
“Only if Mr. Javier found out about Sophia’s affair and her bastard. child.”
Xavier added smoothly, “Reputation is of utmost importance to someone of a high status, just like Mr. Javier. If he finds out that his partner has been cheating on him, I’m sure that he will no longer be on her side!
“How much of a sore loser would he be if he were to tolerate such a thing?”
Alyssa chimed in, “Yeah. She cheated on him, and it wasn’t just once.” She narrowed her charming eyes.
Jeremy, Landon, and Xavier were all flabbergasted. Their eyes widened at the revelation.
“I know of her affair with Ronald. Who else is there?” Jeremy asked with his eyes fixed on Alyssa.
“Do you still remember the audio recording that we heard at the police station? The one where Sophia mentions Dr. McAlister?”
Jeremy caught a glimpse of a sly look in Alyssa’s eyes. He responded immediately, “He’s the man you planted beside Sophia?”
“You’re smart. I expected no less of you.”
Jeremy’s face flushed red at her sudden compliment.
“He was one of the students who received financial aid from KS Group. I met him back when I was still in school. He agreed to join our revenge troop as his way of repaying us for the help he received,” she explained.
