Jonah pressed on, “I have reported your mistake to Mr. Galini, your superior. He was infuriated when he heard it. I’m afraid this spells the end of your career.”
Gabe’s face turned pale. Without hesitation, he rushed out of the office to process Sean’s release.
“Josh Schmidt, I know you’re a snob. I’m not going to waste more time on you. Xavier!”
“Yes, Mr. Jonah?” Xavier hurried over and stood by Jonah. Alyssa was surprised to learn that Jonah had been utilizing Jeremy’s secretary.
Still, she acknowledged Xavier’s flexibility. People would have thought he was working in the capacity of the secretary of the KS Group president.
Jonah shot Xavier a look. Xavier, getting the hint, handed an envelope over to Josh. Opening it, Josh’s pupils dilated in shock.
“There’s a contract of a Tsulian resort project and a settlement agreement in there,” Josh began icily.
He added, “If you agree to settle in private, our family will transfer the project to the Schmidt Group to compensate for your brother’s injuries.
“If you do not agree to settle in private… That’s fine, too. I’m bored of serving as the president, and I don’t mind spending a year or two behind bars. My sister could officially take over my role. Striking two birds with one stone, isn’t it?
“Anyway, I don’t see a reason for you to decline since you’re not exactly in a favorable position now.”
Josh chose personal gain over his family in the face of Jonah’s enticing offer. A chameleon, he signed the settlement without hesitation and left Gabe’s office as though nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Simon fumed when his efforts went down the drain. Not only did he fail to indict Sean, but he also failed to get back at the Taylors. In the end, he had only made a joke out of himself.
“Simon, I was right.” Alyssa fixed a piercing gaze on Simon’s disgusting face. “Evil will never prevail over justice. You’ll never win against us.”
“Damn it! It’s just sheer luck!” Simon, gritting his teeth, stormed out of the office.
Before he left, Julien suddenly called out to him with a wide grin, “Attorney Lynch!”
Simon halted and snapped, “What?”
“Did you enjoy having your face stuffed with feces that night?”
Feces? What the heck?
Alyssa and Jeremy exchanged looks while Jonah glanced at Julien’s feminine and alluring face in astonishment.
Simon gaped at Julien as well. His eyes lit up with fury. He trembled in panic, fear, and humiliation at the thought of that night.
“You… You…” Simon covered his mouth as he heaved.
“Attorney Lynch, you look like you’re in great pain.” Julien took a step backward and stood next to
Jonah as though Simon was infectious. Grinning wittily, he sneered, “Anyway, your mouth is as filthy as the toilet, so I bet you didn’t feel anything. We’ve put the feces in the right place.”
Had Simon’s mouth been stuffed with feces? It was a revelation more shocking than David’s public nudity show.
The memories of the stench haunted Simon. He covered his mouth and dashed out of the door.
“Hahaha! That was hilarious! I can’t with him!” Julien burst out laughing, tears almost rolling down his cheek. He elbowed Jonah and questioned, “Hey, why aren’t you guys laughing? I can laugh at this for years! Hahaha!”
Jonah observed him silently. He couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile at Julien’s bright and carefree expression. The look in his eyes deepened.
“Jul, tell us what happened!” Alyssa blinked in curiosity.
Jul?
Hearing that, Jeremy frowned as the veins on his hand bulged. Did she change her tone just to get some gossip out of Julien? Well, she certainly did not seem to care if Jeremy was jealous.
“So, I heard about it from Colene when I was having tea with Mandy and the rest.” Julien animatedly told them how Colene had instructed her men to rough Simon up and stuff feces into his mouth.
Silence immediately descended on the office. A moment later, Alyssa guffawed loudly in Jeremy’s arms, tears glistening in her eyes.
Jeremy couldn’t refrain from smiling as he held her in his arms. Normally a reserved and serious man, he acted differently when he was with her.
He didn’t smile because he was amused by Julien’s story. Rather, he smiled because she was happy.
“Colene is the best! She is indeed the only daughter of the Ivory Gang’s leader. What a fighter she is!”
Alyssa nearly choked while laughing. She applauded Colene’s actions.
Jeremy gasped, “Is Colene… the daughter of the Ivory Gang’s leader?
The Ivory Gang was the most influential in Solana City, and their reputation spread far and wide.
During the violent early years of primitive accumulation of wealth, the gang had a mixed reputation.
However, they have been whitewashing their reputation lately by doing charity and conducting legal activities.
In fact, Landon regarded the gang leader Marc Waters, Colene’s father, as his idol. As a fan, he had repeatedly watched the fiction and TV shows that were based on Marc’s character. Little did he know that Colene came from such an intimidating background. Now, he had a newfound respect for Winston.
“Did you just learn about it? How could you date me without knowing anything about my family? Hm?”
Alyssa playfully flicked Jeremy on the forehead and remarked, “All of my stepmothers hail from pretty unusual families.”
Jeremy flashed her a wry smile. He turned numb upon learning about Alyssa’s family background.
Never would he have associated Colene with the Ivory Gang leader.
“Lyse, you can’t blame him. Marc has never exposed Colene’s identity to anyone aside from a few confidantes and the gang members,” Jonah interjected.
He addressed Jeremy in a much friendlier manner because he was in a great mood after dealing with
Simon Lynch. “The underworld is dangerous. He had to do so to protect his only daughter.”
Jeremy smiled, feeling touched by Jonah’s amicability. Jonah might appear cold and distant on the outside, but he was warm inside, just like Jeremy.
“Yeah, that’s right. Marc detested Winston for marrying her precious daughter and even threatened to cut ties with Colene over the marriage, but I know that, deep down, he cares for Colene a lot.” Alyssa nodded knowingly.
Then, she sighed with a tinge of regret. “I heard that the texture of feces is similar to that of a sweet potato. Too bad Simon Lynch had left, or I would have confirmed with him. I’m pretty curious about it, though!”
Jeremy, Jonah, and Julien were left speechless at her words.
Although dawn had not arrived, Sean was wide awake. He had experienced a rollercoaster of feelings the night before.
Before Alyssa’s arrival, he had been labeled as a helpless suspect. But now, Gabe Barrett had released him with an ingratiating smile and kind words while inviting him to leave the cell.
The change was shocking for Sean, who had no clue about the interesting confrontation that had happened at the police station.
“Mr. Lynch, we’ve gotten to the bottom of the case. The evidence shows you’re innocent.” Smiling widely like a lapdog, Gabe added, “We’ve retracted your admission of guilt, and the Schmidts have agreed to settle in private. You may leave now.”
He gasped in disbelief, “The Schmidts agreed to a settlement?” That was impossible.
“Well, that’s all because you are well-connected. Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Walsh made a trip here just for you. It’s all thanks to you that I get to see them in person.”
Sean looked stunned. “Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Walsh, you say? Gabe fawned, “I tried my best to help you out this time. I immediately reported your situation to my superior. Not only that, I made my colleagues look into the truth as soon as possible when the Schmidts accused you, all to bring justice to you. It was never my intention to put you in a difficult spot.
“So, may I humbly ask that you put in a good word with Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Walsh when you’re home?
I would serve them loyally if they ever need my assistance.”
With a tense jaw, Sean cast a piercing glance at Gabe’s cunning face. It boggled him to think that Gabe was a police chief. It seemed that the Solana City citizens were subjected to the rule of corrupt officials.
“There’s no need for that. As her secretary, I can reply to you right away.” He stared coldly at Gabe.
“You’re a greedy prick who abuses his power. You deserve to rot together with the Schmidts. Thinking of ingratiating yourself with Ms. Alyssa? You’re delusional.”
Before Sean left the detention center, he freshened up in the restroom. He wanted to look presentable for Alyssa because he didn’t want to upset her.
However, Sean lost his composure and teared up when he saw Jonah and Julien tagging along with
Alyssa and Jeremy. What had he done to deserve their concern?
“Sean.” Jonah grinned, lightening up the mood. “You must have suffered. We’re here to take you home.”
“Mr. Jonah¡ª” Sean choked on his tears and struggled to speak.
