Amber’s chest tightened.
Amber: “He’s never been to The Millennium. But he’s also Jameson’s VIP?”
Wesley: “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have expected the righteous-looking Chief Novak to be under Mr. Schmidt! I took this photo half a month ago when I was following Carl. He would never bring US along when he goes to meet Nicholas. That shows that they have much to hide!
“This is an important clue, Ms. Altman! As long as we continue looking into Mr. Novak, we should be able to find Jameson’s fatal flaw!”
Amber was agitated and disturbed at the same time.
When Jameson was at Kontina, he would already collude with officials. Half the officials at Kontina had received bribes from him. They were either bought over or threatened by him, which eventually resulted in them submitting to him.
Thanks to Justin, Jameson now had a different battleground. He had also started bribing officials at Solana City as if he was a contagious disease.
With time, his pawns would be all over the entire game board-Solana City. Then, Jeremy and Landon might not be able to get rid of him completely even if they joined hands!
Amber: “Stop following Carl, Wesley. You have to stop before Carl finds out! Also, do not look into Nicholas in secret. He’s someone who was able to rise to the position as police commissioner, so he’s definitely not someone simple. Listen to me. Don’t do anything rash, alright?”
Wesley: “But… We’ve only just found such a big clue…”
Amber: “There are only two most important people in my life, Wesley. You are one of them. You must be safe! I will investigate the rest. Do not act on your own. Got it?”
After a moment, Wesley replied, “Okay, I got it. But Ms. Altman, may I ask who the other important person in your life is?” 1
Amber tugged the lapel of her coat tightly together and closed her eyes.
She could almost feel him hugging her from behind. She could also hear his warm breath and his light- hearted laugh in her ear.
All the iciness she felt within her dissipated.
At this same moment, Axel had been standing silently in the woods outside the Millennium since the fireworks started.
The fireworks lit up the night sky for all of Solana City to see.
Surely, she was also able to see it.
Axel had lived a dangerous life. He never had time or energy to date properly, let alone orchestrate anything so romantic.
The fireworks tonight were beautiful.
He thanked Landon for that.
However, no matter how bright and long the fireworks were, it would still be dull if he didn’t have anyone to watch it with.
As such, he couldn’t help but think of her. Somehow, he took a huge risk and ended up outside The Millennium.
“You see it too, don’t you?”
Axel looked up at the brightly lit nightclub. He mumbled to himself, “Does it make you feel lonely to watch the fireworks alone? I feel very alone.”
News outlets gave Lauren and Landon’s wedding great publicity. Newton was ecstatic as he swiped on his phone. He even had two extra servings of dinner that night. As such, he couldn’t even buckle his belt after dinner.
He was well aware that Lauren hadn’t recovered from her trauma and that she wasn’t in the best condition. Even so, as a grandfather who doted on her, he wished she could marry into the Harper family with her head held high.
After all, their families were reputable and wealthy. Extravagance was important to them.
After having dinner with Newton, Jeremy and Alyssa chatted with him and kept him company. They talked about the happy marriage that awaited Landon and Lauren in the future.
“Hey! Ben! Bring me the thing that I prepared!” Newton smiled from ear to ear as he rubbed his hands together.
Soon enough, Ben walked over with a document and put it in Newton’s hands. He was smiling.
Newton placed the document in front of Jeremy and Alyssa. “May I trouble both of you to take a look at this for me? Let me know what you think about this dowry that I prepared for Lauren.”
Jeremy picked the document up. Alyssa, who was right next to him, peered over. They leaned their heads against one another.
The document was a list of all the properties, land, shops, cars, and private planes that Newton intended to give to Lauren.
To their surprise, a small portion of the Walsh Group’s shares was included too!
The most valuable thing on this list was the shares. Walsh Group’s current business performance was unbeatable. Just by owning the shares, Lauren would receive a considerable annual dividend!
“Wow… Lauren is going to be rich!”
Alyssa licked her lips in admiration. “I know who to go to if I ever become poor in the future!”
“You have me. Would I make you live in poverty?”
Jeremy smiled lovingly. He gave her a peck on her forehead. “I would make sure that you have a good life even if it means that I have to be a street beggar.”
Alyssa thought he sounded silly. Even so, she still blushed. She leaned on his shoulder and acted coy. “I didn’t say that I want you to be a street beggar… You’re making me look so mean.”
Newton smiled from ear to ear as he watched the couple being lovey- dovey with one another. He laughed, “Well, even if he became a street beggar, he would be the leader of all beggars. Then, that’ll make you the leader’s wife. You should be equally proud!”
Jeremy burst out laughing. “You think too highly of me, Grandpa.”
“You don’t have to be envious of Lauren, Allison. Just wait till you see the list of wedding gifts I prepared for Jeremy. You will become the envy of all the women in Solana City!” Newton winked at Jeremy.
Jeremy understood the hint and straightened his back. His heart started racing, and his cheeks turned red.
“Grandpa Newton…”
Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat. Her face blushed pink. As she was trying to come up with something to say, her phone rang.
It was Cyrus calling.
“Please excuse me, Grandpa Newton.”
Alyssa got up and left the living room. She walked into the quiet corridor.” What’s up, Cyrus?”
“I saw Xavier at the station, Lyse. What in the world is happening?” Cyrus exclaimed in an urgent tone.
“The station? What happened?” A shocked expression came across her face.
“He was involved in dealing drugs and was caught red-handed by our officers!”
Jeremy and Alyssa hastily bid farewell to Newton, then sped off to the police station with Sean at the wheel.
“Jeremy, did you do something stupid?”
Alyssa, being extremely astute, hit the nail on the head. She glared at Jeremy’s darkened face. “I know Xavier. He wouldn’t dare do anything against your wishes. How could he possibly touch that stuff? Did you ask him to buy it?”
Feeling anxious, Jeremy gripped her delicate fingers tightly while gazing intensely at her. “Lyse, I did tell him to buy it, but I didn’t expect him to do it himself.”
“That fool!” Sean, who was driving, was both anxious and angry. He slammed the steering wheel hard.
“Even those unpopular celebrities who want drugs would have their managers handle it, going through layers of middlemen. One slip-up could tank their whole career, after all.
“But Xavier really is brave. He actually went to buy it himself so openly. Does he think Solana City’s police force is useless? Doesn’t he know that they have been cracking down on drugs recently?”
Alyssa’s palms were sweaty, and her heartbeat quickened. “And that’s not even the scariest part. The whole of Solana City knows that Xavier is your secretary.
“If this matter gets out, regardless of whether Xavier takes all the blame, people will think that you instructed him to buy drugs. They’ll even suspect that you’re a hypocritical drug addict.”
Jeremy frowned deeply. His eyes were red-rimmed.
He wasn’t afraid of verbal attacks or malicious plots against him. He was only afraid that Xavier would really, as Alyssa said, take all the blame.
“This is such a big mess. Jamiper must be laughing in his dreams. He didn’t even need to lift a finger to cause US trouble. Our own stupidity played right into his hands.”
Alyssa was burning with anxiety. “Jeremy, if you needed that stuff, you could have told me. I could have asked Colene. She has connections with the Ivory Gang, after all. Or you could have told Landon. He has connections on both sides of the law. 1
“You shouldn’t have hidden it from me, and you definitely shouldn’t have involved Xavier in this mess. If he makes a slight mistake, even you will take a big fall!”
“It’s my fault. I didn’t think it through.” Jeremy tightly gripped Alyssa’s hand. His palm was cold. “You can hit me and scold me however you want later. But now, we must first get Xavier out.”
“Obviously!”
