After a cursory glance, she snorted coldly and tossed the invitation at his feet.
“Mr. Schmidt, add my beloved’s name to the invitation and send a revised one. If I’m in a good mood, I might consider attending. Jeremy, let’s go home.”
Jeremy lowered his head, meeting her gentle gaze. “Okay.
Ignoring Jameson’s pale face, they turned and left, disappearing through the gates of Heightsnew Villa.
“Jeremy… He’s really crossed the line! Is he out of his fucking mind?” Carl cursed vehemently, then looked at Jameson’s swollen cheek with concern. “Mr. Schmidt, let me take you to the hospital.”
“No need.”
Narrowing his eyes, Jameson stepped on the invitation with his shoe, crushing it forcefully. “Draft another one and send it to Lyse.”
“Okay.”
Carl felt deeply sorry for the treatment his boss received. “Mr. Schmidt, are you just going to swallow this humiliation? That’s not like you.”
“Revenge is a dish best served cold. Besides, if I were to fight Jeremy in front of Lyse, she would be upset.”
Jameson squinted his eyes, his tongue pressing against his aching left cheek. “If Jeremy landing a punch on me would make Lyse feel better, then that punch would be worth it.”
At that moment, his phone vibrated.
It was a message from Zoe.
“Sir, I have a nuisance here that I need your help to deal with. Otherwise, my plan will be difficult to succeed.”
Sir.
Jameson’s eyebrow raised slightly, clearly satisfied with this title.
“Who is it?”
Zoe sent a name.
“I’ll arrange for someone to help you. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you, sir! Once it’s done, I’ll definitely show my gratitude and repay you.”
Jameson’s dark pupils turned cold, sending shivers down one’s spine.
“As long as you can hurt Landon, that would be the best repayment to me.”
Time passed in the blink of an eye. It was already the weekend.
Tonight at Schmidt Manor, the massive fountain in the central courtyard was turned on again, and the hall was adorned with flowers. The whole place looked grand and luxurious, like an opulent palace.
Guests gathered in the main hall. Many well-dressed individuals clinked glasses together, creating a lively atmosphere.
Since Daisy’s heavy sentence and David’s tragic death in prison, the entire Schmidt family had been plunged into an unprecedented crisis. This was exacerbated by a series of business mistakes that led to a sharp drop in Schmidt Group’s stock prices.
Since then, a heavy atmosphere had been lingering. It had been a long time since they had such a glamorous occasion.
Victor, accompanied by Josh and Clarissa, mingled among the guests, enjoying the praise and flattery that hadn’t been heard in a long time. Victor was particularly pleased.
“Look! The dress Madam Clarissa is wearing is designed by Ms. Emerson, right?”
“It certainly is! Ms. Emerson’s design style is very distinct. It’s really beautiful.”
“It’s true that clothes make the man. That woman used to be nothing but a background figure next to Josh, but she’s actually shining tonight.”
Hearing the flattering praises from all directions, Josh held his head high. With his wife being praised, his face lit up with pride, and he felt even more gratified inside.
“Claire, you’re really making me proud tonight.”
As Josh caressed Clarissa’s delicate hand, he leaned close to her ear and chuckled. “You’ll get your reward when we get back.”
Clarissa forced back her disgust and put on a coquettish smile.
“Where’s Jimmy?”
Frowning, Victor looked around. “Why is he missing at such an important moment?”
“I heard from Jameson’s secretary that he went to greet a distinguished guest,” Clarissa replied beside him.
“Hah, is that ‘distinguished guest’ Alyssa?” Josh sneered. His face was full of disdain.
Without a word, Clarissa lowered her eyes.
Victor’s face darkened slightly, feeling disgruntled. “I’ve heard that Winston has allowed Jeremy to stay at the Taylor family’s Heightsnew Villa. He’s been staying there for a long time now.
“And it’s rumored that the Taylors have completely accepted him. Remarrying Alyssa is only a matter of time. Why can’t Jimmy just give up on that bitch? How much longer is he going to be stubborn?”
At this moment, his secretary hurried over. “Mr. Victor, Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Walsh have arrived.”
Victor’s and Josh’s expressions suddenly changed. They looked as if they were mirrors of each other, and they were equally ugly.
They had indeed sent an invitation to the Walsh family, but it was intended for Javier.
They didn’t expect that Javier couldn’t make it and sent this “Double Trouble” instead.
Outside the manor, a top-class luxury car stopped in the middle of the gate.
Jeremy, dressed in a black suit, was the first to get out. With his strikingly handsome features and tall stature, he exuded a strong charm. Just standing there drew the attention of the guests.
And yet, this dignified scion only played the role of an escort.
At this moment, a slender and fair hand reached out from the car.
Jeremy smiled gently as he tenderly took Alyssa’s hand, leading her gracefully as she stepped out of the car.
Tonight, Alyssa wore a simple yet elegant off-the-shoulder fishtail white dress, accentuating her mature and enchanting figure.
“Lyse, are you cold?” Jeremy whispered low in her ear.
His hand climbed up her slim waist, gently pinching the soft flesh that made him unable to resist.
“I’m fine. We’ll be inside in just a few steps.” Alyssa met his sparkling eyes with a smile as he held her.
The handsome man and beautiful woman were a natural pair, drawing everyone’s attention wherever they went.
“Jeremy, Lyse!”
Upon hearing that, the Walsh couple turned back simultaneously. Their faces showed delight when they saw the newcomers. “Landon, Lauren!”
Under the dazzling lights, Landon, dressed in a sharp suit, held hands with his petite wife as they approached Jeremy and Alyssa with a happy smile.
They looked every bit like sweet newlyweds.
Lauren obediently followed him. She was wearing an elegant, light purple dress. Adorning her updo was the clear quartz hair clip that Landon had given her, which she loved and wore almost every day.
Although she was still somewhat shy and nervous, she had improved significantly compared to how she would hide away at the sight of people.
Most importantly, she wasn’t holding the teddy bear tonight.
Alyssa felt really happy for Lauren.
In a sense, Lauren’s condition had improved. It was evident that Landon truly doted on her, loved her, and gave her an irreplaceable sense of security.
As Landon proudly appeared with his beloved, it inevitably attracted discussions around them.
“Who’s the lady beside Mr. Harper? She’s as beautiful as a doll.”
“That’s the fourth daughter of the Walsh family, Ms. Lauren.”
“Oh! Mr. Javier’s youngest daughter? Her mom is Sophia, right?”
