Alyssa chuckled. “I was alone overseas for five, six years. You’ve never sent anyone to follow me. During the Christmas holidays, you’ve never sent me any Christmas cards or well wishes. Why are you suddenly being concerned now?”
A fire of rage rose within Alyssa. She put her hand on her waist and continued, “Are you possessed, or do you just have too much free. time on your hands because you’re about to retire?”
Jeremy furrowed his brows and remained expressionless.
Alone overseas? And it was for five to six years at that? Why so?
The Taylor family members doted on her so much, so how could they not be worried?
She was still very young, five or six years ago. How dangerous must it have been for her to live in a foreign land all on her own!
“You’d better come home this instant! You’re my precious daughter, but you’re cohabiting with an idiot who is also your ex-husband? I feel
Winston exclaimed, seemingly angry.
Alyssa harrumphed and replied nonchalantly, “You’re not even ashamed to marry four wives. What is there for me to be ashamed about?”
“You… you… you!” Winston almost lost his temper.
Damn, they were truly father and daughter. Her words struck him to the core!
After listening to their back-and-forth, Jeremy gradually understood the conversation. Winston had found out that he was together with Alyssa, and he was furious about it.
His heart tightened. He thought about how he had to go through so many challenges to finally receive approval from her siblings. And now, there was another hurdle in front of him-Winston.
However, he didn’t have a single word of complaint. He was the one. who had been cruel in the past. Any difficulty or hurdle he faced was, all his own karma.
“I don’t care. I want you to come back as soon as possible! The horse racing event is on the weekend. It concerns KS Group’s important strategic partnership in the future. A few major groups in Solana City are also going to be there.
“I need you to come back and make the necessary preparations. You are attending it with me!”
A few major groups?
That meant that the Walsh’s and Schmidts were included. It would be bustling then.
Alyssa’s gaze was deep. She answered in a low voice, “I understand.”
“And, let me remind you once again-don’t get too close to Jeremy! My daughter is as precious as jewels, and he’s definitely not at your level!”
Although Winston was speaking on the phone, his dissatisfaction. toward Jeremy was written all over his face.
“Also, don’t you forget how he had treated you in the first place. He abandoned you and shamed you! Even if you have forgotten the pain, he is never going to get past me! Not unless it is over my dead body! Goodbye!”
Without waiting for Alyssa to answer, Winston hung up the call.
Alyssa was speechless. What goodbye was he even talking about?
She stared at her phone’s screen, which had dimmed. She sighed silently and glanced at Jeremy, who was stiff as a stone beside her.
“You overheard our conversation?”
“Yeah,” Jeremy answered with a dejected look on his face.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Winston is getting old, more stubborn than I am. Plus, you don’t have a good track re makes sense that he doesn’t like you.” Alyssa pouted.
“I get it.”
“But that’s alright. Whatever hurdles come our way, we’ll get over them. Things have already progressed to this stage. There’s nothing. that we cannot overcome.”
Out of the blue, Alyssa blinked and asked, “If Winston doesn’t approve of us being together at the end of the day, and if the entire world doesn’t approve of us, will you give me up?”
Jeremy fixed his eyes on her. Looking deep into her eyes, he asked her back, “Will you give me up?”
Alyssa put her finger on her chin and pretended to give it a good thought. After a while, she shook her head.
“No, I won’t.”
Jeremy’s breathing was deep and heavy. He opened his arms and pulled her in for an embrace.
He put his chin on the top of her head as tears pooled in his eyes. Ant intense twinge of bittersweet emotions filled his heart.
“If you won’t leave me, neither will I leave you.”
He was determined to be with her-forever.
A horse racing event was hosted in Solana City every year. It was an event that garnered the attention of the entire nation.
Wealthy and reputable families would meet at the racecourse. On the surface level, they looked friendly with one another. In reality, they were cunning and competing with one another in secret.
Hence, this was a rare networking opportunity for the elites.
Many of the major renowned projects in Solana City, and even throughout Andgalbia, were signed at the horse racing event.
This was why many would do all they could to obtain a ticket to the horse race. It was so that they could move up the ranks and achieve great success.
Ever since that day when Javier forbade Betty’s attendance, she became ill from her rage. Ulcers broke out in her mouth, and she could barely eat anything due to the pain.
During the night, her anger would also wake her up from her sleep.
All she did was reprimand a few helpers. She couldn’t understand why Javier wanted to punish her in this way. Not only that, he even backed Lauren up!
She used to be a troublemaker at home, but he had never rebuked her.
Could it be that she was also suffering the consequences by association? Sophia lost his favor, and she was also suffering in tow?
It was no surprise that men were such a heartless breed!
Right now, she could only quietly wish for Landon to be a player. She hoped he would take advantage of Lauren and discard her like trash playing
When that time came, she wanted to make a public declaration in their circles to inform everyone that Lauren was a whore who Landon played!
She would wait and see who would still want to marry that stupid bitch! She wanted her reputation to be ruined.
Just as she was relishing in her thoughts, a knock came from the door.
“Ms. Betty, Madam Sophia asked for you.”
Betty went to meet Sophia with a resentful look on her face.
“I’m here, Mom.”
She caught a whiff of a strange scent the moment she stepped through the door. It was revolting.
“What are you doing, Mom? What is that smell?”
Betty walked toward the bedroom while she pinched her no furrowed her brows.
She pushed open the door, which was unlocked, and was immedi stumped in horror.
Sophia was wearing crumpled-up pajamas and kneeling on the floor with her hair all over her face. She frantically wiped a pool of yellow water stains on the floor using a towel.
Betty’s eyes widened. She stuttered, “Mom… You’re.
It was only then that Sophia realized that she had entered the room. Her face flushed red in surprise, and she shouted fiercely, “Who told you that you could come in? Don’t you know how to knock?”
“Mom, you were the one who asked for me…”
Retty stared at the staininted spot. Then, she had a sudden realization and covered her mouthlivizhtheher hands.
“Mom! You… Don’t tell they you have.” she asked dumbfoundedly.
She was aboin to bluit dunuththe term incontinence” when Sophia interrupted her in her iotad varote, Shut up! Don’t you dare mention a single word of what shouiditt he said. Do you hear me?”
Betty nodded vigorouslyly
How would she dare to say a word she did, Sophia would become the laughingstock of Solana City! As she herself would be embarrassed as well!
