Amber’s eyes darkened slowly as lethal intent colored them. “Keep your eyes on him. I’m on my way right now.”
Some were distraught and lost, while others remained sprightly and kicking.
Jameson had acted as if he’d just heard the news and hurried over to Heightsnew Villa. He was currently sitting anxiously in the living room.
“Tsk. We only just sent Jeremy away, yet now Jameson has come crawling all the way back here! What did our baby sister do to deserve this? What bad karma did she accrue?”
Jonah and Silas were looking downstairs from the second-floor landing. Silas was so angry he was grinding his teeth together.
Jonah coldly eyed Jameson’s face, which had had its fill of putting up a dramatic show. His hand around the railing was so tense his veins were bulging.
“He didn’t show up at the event even though he’s his family’s favorite right now. Yet here he is, showing up first thing the moment something happens to Lyse.
“Hmph! Based on my years of experience as a prosecutor, I know he definitely has something to do with what happened earlier tonight. He probably worked together with Zoe and used her as a pawn!”
Silas hissed.
“Your analysis isn’t too different from mine. Jameson is a very cunning man who’s very skilled in using others to carry out his dirty work,” Jonah said.
Jonah’s cold eyes were fixed on Jameson’s face. “He’s already planned out his escape route before putting his plan into motion. I fear he’s already removed every trace of himself from the picture.
“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come all over here without fear. He probably thinks he has nothing to worry about anymore.”
“Damn it! We’ve let a fox into our nest now!” Silas huffed angrily. “You, me, and the other boys combined can totally overpower Jameson. Are we really just going to stand here and do nothing?”
Just then, Winston and Lyla came downstairs to meet Jameson, accompanied by Neil.
“Uncle Winston, Madam Lyla,” Jameson got up to greet them. His respectful and gentle demeanor was the kind elders liked to see the most in youngsters.
“My daughter is feeling unwell, Jameson, so she won’t be able to join US,” Lyla spoke up on behalf of
Winston, seeing how ill he looked. “Plus, I’m sure you know what happened during tonight’s event. We really aren’t in the mood to welcome any guests, so please leave.”
Jameson’s gaze darkened slightly after Lyla said that. His fingers clenched lightly, but he still patiently said, “I couldn’t rest well after hearing about Lyse’s condition, so I rushed over to see her.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Winston. I know some very good doctors from Mosgravia, all world-renowned professionals. If the doctors in the country can’t do anything to help, I can ask the doctors from
Mosgravia to come here to Belbanks to help Lyse!” “Jameson,” Winston suddenly spoke up. “I appreciate your kind gesture. But you’re Taty’s fiance now. Even though you grew up with Lyse and have a close relationship with her, you should now direct your concern to Taty. It’s time you distance yourself from Lyse.”
Jameson was shocked. His face even paled somewhat.
“Haha! Serves him right!” Silas snickered. “He plotted out everything yet still couldn’t reach Lyse in the end. Now his plan is going to bust because his own plan is biting himself in the ass!”
“Uncle Winston, the person I wanted to marry has always been Lyse! I’ve never wanted to marry anyone else!” Jameson exclaimed passionately, no longer hiding his true desire.
Lyla was stunned. Her lips pulled thin awkwardly.
“What did you just say?” Winston asked, his brows knitting together. “Jameson, all my daughters are fine young women, not items for you to negotiate and purchase as you please. We agreed you’d marry
Taty, so Taty it is. Never mention your matter with Lyse ever again!”
“You know just how true my love for Lyse is, Uncle Winston. The heavens itself is my witness.”
Jameson might be a cunning, devious, lying cheat, but his love for Alyssa was real. The sincerity of the love in his eyes was unmistakable. “I never had a choice about who I was going to marry in this arranged marriage! I only stayed out of the way because I thought Lyse had found happiness. But do you still think Jeremy is the best choice for Lyse right now?”
Winston’s breath was punched out of his lungs. Pain filled his lungs when he recalled how his daughter could never be a mother again.
“I wasn’t able to protect Lyse back then while she suffered endlessly. I swear to protect only her from now on. rd never find fault or hurt her like Jeremy Walsh has done,” Jameson said.
Jameson’s eyes were reddened with emotion as he begged, “Please, Uncle Winston … let me marry
Lyse. I’ll never let what happened to Lyse happen again!”
“Hmph! You should keep on dreaming!”
When Jameson saw Jonah and Silas walking downstairs, his eyes glinted dangerously. His teeth locked together angrily.
“Don’t be fooled by him, Dad! He’s not a good person whatsoever!”
“Who knows? Jameson might’ve been in cahoots with Zoe and responsible for what happened earlier tonight, all just to strike while the iron’s hot!” Silas snapped. He wasn’t as reserved as his brother was.
So, he tore off Jameson’s false mask right away.
Winston and Lyla were shocked and in disbelief.
“I know none of you like me, Mr. Jonah. You all know I love Lyse deeply, too. But that doesn’t mean you can slander me like that,” Jameson said.
He gently touched his glasses and continued, “I have no relations with Zoe whatsoever. The only time was during the horse races. She wanted to cause trouble for Lyse, so I went to Lyse’s defense. That’s it.
“You’re Lyse’s brothers, so I won’t take further action this time. But I hope there won’t be a next time.”
Fuck! If his father and Lyla weren’t here right now, Silas would’ve cursed out loud already!
He finally saw how someone could be so adept at shifting the blame from themselves!
“Don’t say things without proof, Silas,” Winston reminded, his gaze complicated.
Silas was incredibly anxious. He was about to rush forward when Jonah held him back.
“Jameson, it’s impossible for you to marry Lyse. Nor will your brother, David, ever marry Taty!”
The moment Jonah said this, Winston and Lyla were left stunned.
Jameson’s brows knit tightly together, suspicion growing in his chest.
“Mr. Taylor, Mr. Victor is here to see you!” Barry, the butler, ran over to report.
“Victor is here? At this hour?” Winston asked incredulously, glancing at his watch.
Victor didn’t come to meet them alone. He’d brought his eldest, Josh. It was quite the party.
“What did our son do to you, Jonah Taylor? How could you treat David this way? You’re too outrageous!” Victor roared, storming into the house. He was so angry even his cheeks were trembling.
“What you did was no different than sticking a knife right between my ribs!”
Jonah’s expression was extremely cold. A deadly glint shone in his narrowed eyes. He had already prepared himself for the Schmidt family’s confrontation.
After all, Jonah was the one who sent David to the police station to help Alyssa and Sean.
“What’s going on, Jonah? What did you do to David?” Winston was confused.
Victor’s commotion had caused Colene and Mandy to come over as well.
“Mr. Taylor, Jonah locked my brother in jail and planned to charge him with rape!” Josh gritted out. “I don’t know whether this was Jonah’s idea or your beloved daughter’s! Are they picking on the weak now? Did they decide to mess with David because he can’t fight back now?”
Everyone besides Jonah reeled in shock.
Jameson had a gloomy expression on his face. He gently pushed his glasses, immediately understanding what was going on.
Jonah and the others had seen through David and Daisy’s schemes already. Not only did David not get to Tatiana, he even ended up falling on his own ass.
What a loser.
If Jameson had known they couldn’t even get this little thing done, he would’ve helped them from the start.
Victor was so angry he couldn’t breathe properly anymore. Josh glared at Jonah while holding his father up. “You didn’t have to use such despicable methods to mess with David if you didn’t want the marriage to go through! Is this the sort of tactics that the rich and powerful use?”
Before Jonah could speak, Colene had erupted angrily, “Who are you calling despicable?”
Winston was shocked.
Colene truly was her father’s daughter. She was a fierce tigress for sure!
“Your father has known Winston for 30 years, so you know exactly what our family is like! If you don’t find us trustworthy, why did you come all the way here just to kiss our asses?” Colene snapped.
She was getting angrier by the second. Her hands were now tucked at her waist as she continued,
