Alyssa was rendered speechless.
These few broLhers of hers loved Lo make Lhings difficulL for oLhers. There was no doubL LhaL Lhey were WinsLon’s sons!
WiLh indignaLion, Landon placed his hand firmly on Jeremy’s shoulder. “Jeremy! No one else, oLher
Lhan myself, knows how hard you’ve foughL Lo have finally made your way Lo Lhis posiLion as presidenL!
“Why are you feeling bereaved? If you are indeed biLLer abouL iL, you should seize Lhe enLire

“Look aL JamebiLch. I would suggesL LhaL you follow his example of being ruLhless and disregarding his own kin. QuiL being overly cauLious. JusL Lake over Lhe corporaLion, and iL’s done!”
“ThaL’s easier said Lhan done. None of you have experienced such challenges when living wiLh your families.” Alyssa shoL Landon a fierce look. She conLinued, “And you. How could you say someLhing like LhaL? Jamiper loves Lo backsLab Lhose close Lo him. Shall I have Jeremy run a Lrial round wiLh you firsL?”
Landon shuddered. He shuL himself up immediaLely.
“Jeremy, it’s alright if they don’t understand you. I understand you.” Alyssa exhaled. She placed her warm hand on the back of Jeremy’s hand. “If I were you, I would also do all I can to fulfill my mother’s dying wish.
“At the same time, I understand how your mother felt. What she actually wanted was for you to have the ability to protect yourself. That was why she hoped that you could become more powerful.
“There’s nothing wrong with the path that you have chosen. As much as you may hate your father,
Grandpa Newton has always cared for you. You’re indebted to him for raising you. For Grandpa’s sake, your perseverance and toil will not be completely meaningless.”
“Lyse… Thank you.” Jeremy choked on his tears. His voice trembled slightly as he called her name.
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m just someone who understands you,” Alyssa replied as she smiled sweetly at him.
“Jeffrey is now willing to testify against Sophia to say that she was involved in contract killings. With drug possession and substance abuse to top that, she wouldn’t be getting a short sentence.”
Silas lowered his brows. “But I know that this is still far from what we want. What we want is for her to be sentenced to death. After all, she has claimed many lives!”
“That will be a challenge.”
Cyrus frowned and shook his head. The expression on his face was glum. “There is no incriminating evidence to say that she instigated the murder. Plus, Ms. Nina’s voice recording was taken without consent. It cannot be presented as evidence in court.
“Regarding Jeremy’s mother’s case, it’s been over 20 years. Relying on a maid’s testimony won’t be sufficient.
“Also, Simon is still Sophia’s legal representative this time. We can’t be sure what other dirty trick he has up his sleeve to come against us!”
Sean’s face turned pale. He took a deep breath and said, “This time, I will be appearing in court as
Nina’s defense attorney.”
A shocked look came across Silas’ and Cyrus’ faces. “You’re going to court?”
Alyssa and Jeremy, on the other hand, remained calm. They even glanced at Sean with a look of confidence.
This was because Sean had already shared his plan with them a few days ago. He had also obtained their support.
Sean had been working as a secretary with the Taylor family for many years. Many, including Simon, might have already forgotten that he was an outstanding graduate from Solana City College of Law.
The law industry in Solana City wouldn’t even have a place for Simon if Sean had intended to compete with him in the industry.
“This trial will also be a crucial fight between Simon and I.”
Sean’s eyes were bright and filled with determination. “I know what Simon abhors the most. He hates the feeling of being crushed in defeat, even more so when he loses to me. That would upset him to death.”
Alyssa nodded with a serious look on her face.
A single phone call would be enough to make countless top-notch attorneys flock toward them to aid the Walsh Group and KS Group.
However, they had to consider who would bring about the most destruction to Simon. In that case,
Sean would be their most powerful weapon!
“Sorry to have to trouble you, Sean,” Silas sighed softly. He was moved.
“Mr. Silas, Mr. Walsh and I have an unusual similarity. He no longer has a father, whereas I no longer have an elder brother.”
Sean poured a drink for himself. He raised his glass toward Jeremy and said, “We’re in such a similar situation, Mr. Walsh. Bottoms up, shall we?”
Jeremy felt a gush of warmth in his heart. He got up and lifted his glass. “Thank you for always keeping an eye on Lyse, Sean. I’m really grateful that you’re willing to help us out.
“May our wishes come true.”
“I’m sure they will.” Tears filled Sean’s eyes as he nodded enthusiastically.
Alyssa, too, got to her feet. She put her arm around Jeremy’s waist. She lifted her glass and urged,
“Come on! Bottoms up, everyone!”
The six of them raised their glasses. They were filled with hope that they’d be victorious.
“We can do this!”
To be frank, they had more than a couple of hurdles ahead of them.
Even though Jeffrey had confessed to everything he knew, a crucial individual remained elusive¡ªInigo.
This meant that their scheme to implicate Jameson was not going to succeed.
After the guests left, Mrs. Rosie came back. She worked on tidying the kitchen and the house on
Jeremy and Alyssa’s behalf.
“Jeremy, could you find a time to speak with Landon? He seems to get mad every time he meets
Cyrus.” Alyssa placed the plates into the sink so that she could wash them.
She mumbled, “Why is he seeing him as an enemy just because he’s single and handsome? All five of my brothers are still single. Yet, Cyrus is the only one he’s keeping an eye on?
“He’s already acting like a possessive partner even before he gets married to Lauren. If so, wouldn’t
Lauren lose all her freedom if they were to get married in the future?
“Is he going to keep her captive if she sneaks a peek at other men? Would he end up abusing her?”
“Landon is not that kind of person, Lyse. He loves Lauren very much. This is the first time in his entire life that he’s truly fallen in love. Lauren is more important than life to him. He’s just being extra wary.”
Jeremy strode over to Alyssa. He lifted her by the waist and took her place instead. He rolled up his white sleeves and started washing the dishes effortlessly.
“Let me do it. The skin on your hands is soft and fair. The chemicals in the dishwashing liquid aren’t good for your skin.”
Landon was deeply in love with Lauren.
Alyssa’s love for Jeremy was deep, too. Although he had just said it in passing, she couldn’t help but analyze his words over and over.
After some pondering, she bit her lower lip and asked, “How about you? Was I your first, too?”
Alyssa regretted it the moment she uttered those words.
She already knew what his answer would be. He would never even tell a white lie to make her feel better. She knew that he would never lie to her.
Jeremy paused for a moment. He felt a lump in his throat as he knitted his brows tightly. His mind raced.
He washed his hands and wiped them dry. He put his hands on her shoulder and looked her in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Lyse.” “I mean I know “
A stabbing pain pierced through Alyssa’s heart. The painful sensation spread throughout all her limbs, making her eyes water.
Still, she forced a smile on her face and sighed, “I already knew that this would be your answer. Why did
I even ask? I’m just embarrassing myself by asking that question…”
Jeremy’s heart wrenched as he pressed his lips together. He wrapped her in a tight embrace, almost as if he was about to engulf her.
