“What are you talking about, Jimmy?”
Feeling her son’s low spirits, Lily anxiously gestured with her hands in the air, resembling a bewildered child. “Why would I be disappointed? I’m just afraid of you not being happy.
“It’s okay. There’s plenty of time ahead. Spend more time with Lyse, and slowly, she’ll discover how good you are. She’ll definitely fall in love with you.”
Jameson nodded gently with a smile, but he felt uncomfortable inside.
Lily was experiencing cognitive confusion, with memory and physical functions gradually deteriorating.
The Jameson she saw now was from the old days¡ªperhaps from his high school or college days.
Sometimes, Jamesone was even a child who was playing happily beside her.
Unfortunately, she completely forgot what her son looked like now.
“Mom, since you like Lyse so much, I’ll try my best to make her fall in love with me and make her your daughter-in-law.”
As his words fell, a cold voice pierced his heart.
“Jameson.”
It was Alyssa’s voice.
How could he not recognize the voice of his dream woman?
Jameson couldn’t hide his excitement. He turned around immediately. But the next moment, his expression sank.
Alyssa and Jeremy stood side by side in front of him. Their expressions were frosty, and their hostility was evident.
The chilly night breeze carried a tense atmosphere as it swept through.
Jameson’s joy at seeing his beloved was dashed as soon as he noticed Jeremy.
“Lyse, you’re here!” Lily’s eyes shimmered with gentle light. She even wanted to get up from the wheelchair to greet her.
Perhaps Alyssa’s striking appearance had left a lasting impression on her. Sometimes, Lily couldn’t recognize her own son, but she could instantly identify Alyssa. It was genuine affection that couldn’t be concealed.
“Hi, Mrs. Schmidt.” Alyssa’s voice was gentle. She smiled at Lily.
Jeremy’s strong arm wrapped around Alyssa’s waist. His gaze was sharp and icy as he stared at
Jameson, observing his every move.
“Lyse, who is this?” Lily looked at Jeremy’s expressionless face in confusion, instinctively tugging at
Jameson’s sleeve.
Alyssa gazed deeply at Jeremy’s handsome profile.
Jameson adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said before she could reply, “Lyse, what a coincidence to meet you here. Are you also going on a trip?”
Throughout the conversation, he only addressed Alyssa, completely ignoring Jeremy.
“Jameson, do you think I have the mood for a trip?”
Alyssa’s eyes flashed with sharpness, and her voice was extremely cold. She didn’t want to pretend to be friendly with Jameson, even in front of Lily.
“You know best what you’ve done and how much blood is on your hands. Inigo hasn’t been caught yet, and I haven’t avenged Jonah’s and Jeremy’s ambush. If you don’t fall, how can I enjoy myself?”
Jeremy smiled faintly, gazing at the woman before him with eyes filled with love.
“Jimmy, what is Lyse talking about? What blood? Why don’t I understand?” Lily asked with a bewildered look.
“It’s normal that you don’t understand, Mom, because I don’t understand either.”
Jameson gently rubbed his mother’s shoulders to comfort her. His exquisite features betrayed no hint of his true nature as a villain.
“Lyse, who’s Inigo? I don’t know him. And what happened to Jonah and Mr. Walsh? Is there anything I can do to help them?”
A surge of rage swirled in Jeremy’s chest. His eyes flashed with waves of anger. The brutal scenes of his near-death experience with Jonah on Shelland Island, where they were trying to catch Jeffrey, were still vivid in his mind.
Yet Jameson, the mastermind behind all of this, could still play innocent in front of him without batting an eye or showing any signs of guilt.
And he even had the audacity to say he wanted to help? Was it to help them to their deaths?
Alyssa felt Jeremy’s hand on her waist tremble slightly. She knew he was suppressing his anger.
She was frustrated. She wanted to vent her anger for Jeremy and Jonah, as well as for Miley and
Jeremy in Kontina.
But it wasn’t the time yet. Just venting anger with words would be meaningless. What she wanted was for Jameson to pay a heavy price for his actions and for him to atone.
“Jimmy, I’m a bit cold. Can we leave now?” Lily asked cautiously as she curled up her frail body.
These years of being confined to home had left her weak. Although it was almost autumn, the temperature in Solana City was still far from cold.
“Okay, Mom. I’ll take you to the plane now.”
Jameson was about to push his mother toward the gangway when Jeremy’s voice suddenly cut in coldly. “Jameson, I’m sorry to tell you. But I’m afraid your plane won’t be able to take off from here tonight. You can’t go anywhere.”
But Jameson seemed oblivious. He continued to walk toward his private plane.
“Jameson.” Jeremy’s eyes sank heavily. He exuded an oppressive vibe that seemed to freeze everything, even the howling wind passing by, into ice.
“Didn’t you hear that my mom said she’s cold?” Jameson turned slightly toward Jeremy.
His sinister gaze was terrifying. “And what right do you have to dictate what I do? If the police suspect me of anything, they can come with an arrest warrant, and I’ll cooperate with any investigation.
Otherwise, no one can stop me.”
“Suspect? No.” Alyssa smiled mockingly. That smile hurt Jameson badly. “If it were mere suspicion, we wouldn’t have come to find you, much less stop you. Jameson, you’re the mastermind. I won’t believe whatever you say.”
“We” was a word that created an insurmountable gap between Jameson and the couple. He could never cross it.
Nevertheless, Jameson’s gaze toward Alyssa still held deep affection.
His obsessive love had turned him into a shameless lunatic.
“Lyse, you’re misunderstanding me. But since you suspect me, I can cooperate with you fully.”
With that, Jameson bent down and gently held his mother’s hand. “Mom, I’m sorry, but I can’t accompany you on this trip anymore.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Lily’s worried gaze turned to Alyssa. Her eyes were filled with tears as she spoke. “Lyse, don’t be mad at Jimmy. If he made you angry, I apologize to you on his behalf.
Alyssa felt her heart wrench. “Mrs. Schmidt, don’t say that.”
Although Jameson was malicious and cunning, Lily was a pitiful woman suffering from a serious illness. Alyssa didn’t want to engage in a fierce conflict with Jameson in front of Lily.
After all, this woman, abandoned by her husband and exiled for 15 years, had only Jameson as her hope.
Alyssa didn’t want to extinguish the flicker of hope within her.
“You two were the best of friends when you were young. You used to play with Jimmy all the time.
Jimmy liked you the most¡ª”
“Enough, Mom.” Jameson gently interrupted his mother with his eyes full of helplessness.
As Jeremy witnessed the deep affection between the mother and son, his eyes dimmed with a strong pain in his chest.
Yes, he envied them.
Jeremy couldn’t understand why, despite having precious loved ones by his side and a mother who loved him so much, Jameson still chose the path of darkness. How could he be so malicious?
