“Oh, thank the heavens… thank the heavens!” Winston cried to himself, though he was still overwhelmed with anxiety for Tatiana.
“Sexually incompetent? How could my son be sexually incompetent?” Victor was stunned by this news.
His face grew beet red with rage upon hearing Winston’s words. “What did you just say, Winston
Taylor? Are you cursing my son?”
“Curse?” Winston sneered angrily, his eyes boiling with fury. “David deserves hell for what he did to my daughter! If he wasn’t your son, Victor, I would’ve made sure he didn’t live to see another day! Beating him up and tossing him behind bars is already the greatest mercy I can give!”
Victor and Josh’s hearts lurched.
They had come all this way to Belbanks just to demand an answer from the Taylor family, yet who knew they would end up humiliating themselves instead!
Jameson’s eyes were burning with anger. Blood beaded on his lip as his teeth bit through.
If this continued, David’s chance of survival would be slim. The relationship between the families would be ruined, too! Consequently, it would undoubtedly become one more obstacle between Jameson and
Alyssa!
“Why… Why?” Lyla finally broke down.
She sobbed painfully in Winston’s arms before screaming at Victor in a fit of rage, “Is it all because Taty is my daughter? Does she deserve to be taken advantage of just because a weak little woman like me gave birth to her?”
“Don’t insult yourself, Lyla!” Mandy ran up to hug Lyla, tears filling her eyes. “Taty is our beloved princess. She is no different than Lyse and Miley. Don’t think otherwise!”
A weak and gentle voice suddenly sounded while Lyla was crying.
“Don’t cry, Mom…”
Everyone looked to where the source of the voice was. They saw Tatiana standing at the top of the stairs, tear tracks still apparent on her cheeks. She was barefoot and draped in a quilt, quivering slightly.
“Taty!” Lyla ran toward her daughter without a care in the world and hugged her tightly. “It’s all my fault,
Taty… I’m so useless… I couldn’t protect you…”
“I’m fine, Mom… it’s okay…” Tatiana murmured in her mother’s ear. Though she was the one who was deeply scarred, she still had to help calm her mother down.
Alyssa’s heart wrenched in pain at the sight. The path in life for a child who demonstrated early maturity often proved more demanding.
If Tatiana was half as headstrong as Alyssa and maybe even acted out her own selfish desires for once, would none of this have happened?
“Impossible! This is impossible! David would never do this!” Josh was outraged. He pointed angrily at
Alyssa and Jonah. “You two must’ve set my brother up! You played such a dirty trick because you wanted to stop the arranged marriage between our families! Despicable!”
“Shut up, shitface!” It was Cyrus who snapped this time. “Things are already at this juncture, and you’re still lying without shame? Did you lie your way up to becoming CEO?”
Behind Cyrus stood Sean.
“Sean…” Tatiana’s tears fell down her cheeks, yet she didn’t dare cry out loud.
Sean gazed dearly at the woman he loved. He parted his lips, yet no sound came out of his mouth.
Tears of pain filled his eyes¡ªso close, yet so far.
“Hmph! What do you think you’re doing now, Mr. Taylor? Gathering all your family here just to ambush us?” Josh snarled. “You may be the most powerful family here in Belbanks, but that doesn’t mean we, in Solana City, can be pushed around that easily.
“You’ve already pissed off the Harper family. Do you intend to sever ties with your only allies now? It wouldn’t be wise for you to stand in opposition to US in the business field!”
Alyssa’s eyes burned with rage as her anger skyrocketed. Nevertheless, she was aware that a simple verbal exchange wouldn’t overcome Josh.
Alyssa quietly noted this grudge down. She swore to give Josh a living hell in the future.
“Hmph! You’re still so young, Josh. You can ask your father how I fought my way to where I am today if you’re unsure.” Winston’s eyes gleamed ferociously. “Ask around and see just how terrible you’ll suffer if you antagonize me!”
Josh’s heart quivered fearfully, but he still put on a tough, fearless act.
“I say this to all of you now, not as Cyrus Taylor of the Taylor family, but as the police¡ª” Cyrus then displayed an arrest warrant for the Schmidt family to see.
He continued, “The police have officially arrested David Schmidt under the charge of sexual assault.
We have ample evidence and witnesses to support our case, too. You Schmidts can prepare yourselves to attend David’s trial.”
Cyrus then smirked. “Or, should I say, criminal suspect David Schmidt’s trial.”
Despair overwhelmed Victor and Josh.
This was an official warrant from the police. They had no choice but to concede to the matter now.
Josh tried fighting back but was swiftly stopped by Victor, who said quietly, “What more can we say now? We need to go back and figure out how to save David!”
Just before Victor and Josh were about to step out of the Taylor residence door, Winston roared at them, “Our families’ alliance marriage ends today! Don’t even think about bringing it up again! I’m going to look thoroughly into what your son did to my daughter!”
Victor ground his teeth together before snapping at Jameson, “Let’s go, Jameson!”
Jameson didn’t want to leave just yet, but he knew the Taylor family would only hate him more if he stayed. He gazed longingly at Alyssa before leaving the house.
Alyssa’s stomach churned. That look made her deeply uncomfortable.
She then sighed quietly in relief because things had turned out in her favor. This alliance marriage with the Schmidts had ended for good.
The atmosphere in the Schmidt family’s Bentley on its way home was unbearably suffocating.
Josh gave Victor two pills to reduce his blood pressure, but his blood pressure wouldn’t fall no matter what.
“David really messed up big time! What’s so good about that Taty chick? He could’ve gotten all the women he wanted, yet he ended up going for her. He basically doomed himself!”
“Yeah. He’s not the one arranged to be married. Why did he have to do this?”
Jameson was incredibly angry. “David’s already incompetent, yet he still wanted to fool around? What a waste of a sex offender.” “Shut up! How could you talk about your own brother like that? And what were you doing at the Taylor family residence tonight?” Victor snapped angrily.
“Why else? Jameson obviously went to kiss their asses,” Josh sneered, taking advantage of the situation to insult Jameson. “Our dear little Jameson is trying so hard to become a son-in-law to the
Taylor family.
“Have you ever shown that much respect to our own father, Jameson? I doubt you care even half as much about Dad as you do about Winston Taylor.”
“I only agreed to the arranged marriage for our family!” Jameson snapped back.
“Enough!” Victor slammed his hand down on the armrest. “You are not to be in contact with Alyssa
Taylor from now on, Jameson! Don’t go suck up to the Taylor family and embarrass me!”
“What does David’s mistake have to do with me? Why can’t I contact Lyse?” Jameson was incredibly stubborn. “If I can marry Lyse, our families would still be allied. You would still be able to utilize the
Taylor family’s resources. What’s wrong with that?”
“Hahaha! You’re out of your mind, Jameson. You seriously think you can still be together with Alyssa now that things have come to this?” Josh cackled. “Even if Winston rejects Jeremy-heck, even if Jeremy dies, Alyssa still won’t set her sights on you.”
“Just because you can’t pull it off doesn’t mean I can’t.” Jameson pushed his glasses off, his gaze growing murderous.
“That’s enough! David is more important right now, not this!” Victor exclaimed.
He grabbed Josh’s arm and gritted out, “David may have been charged with sexual assault, but since nothing happened between him and that girl, his charge will only be attempted assault. We need to get him out of prison no matter what!”
A red sports car came to a stop in front of a club in the middle of the night. Amber stepped out of it dressed in a skin-tight black dress, showing off her curves. Her bejeweled heels glinted in the light, giving her a striking appearance overall.
“He’s still inside, Ms. Altman. I’ve been keeping watch all this while.” A lackey walked over to Amber from a dark corner.
Amber tied her hair into a bun before decorating it with a silver hair stick studded with a ruby. Her beauty left the lackeys around her in awe.
“Wait outside and prepare to cover me.”
Dim lights flashed in the club.
Amber gritted her teeth together as she moved amidst the people who were enjoying their night. Her eyes were set on Axel who sat at the edge of the bar.
