That said, he was well aware that it was something that would bring about eternal destruction if he touched it. Thus, no matter how well his business was doing, he never touched it at all. He truly abstained from it all these years!
So, how… How could he be positive?
All the blood drained from Jameson’s face. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his heart raced.
Suddenly, he came to a realization. His world started spinning, and he almost couldn’t find his balance.
It was the medications!
The medications that Justin gave him for his use all year round were problematic!
Perhaps it was because he was getting too emotional; Jameson’s hands started trembling uncontrollably once again. He couldn’t control himself, no matter how much he tried. “Hah! Are you still going to deny it?”
Cyrus stared at him with a frosty gaze.
abno he also noticed the abnormality. in the way that he was presenting. “Jameson, it looks like you are already severely addicted. You’ve developed a strong ov dependence on that thing, haven’t you?
“We’ve only detained you for 24 hours, and you’re already showing withdrawal symptoms. It’s obvious that you are a drug addict through and through. Why are you still quibbling?” “You… don’t know… anything!” Jameson held onto his shivering arms hard as he glared at him furiously.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Schmidt. It seems like you’ve got to continue your stay here with us.”
Cyrus narrowed his eyes slightly. The smile on his face infuriated him. “Though, this time, we won’t have any coffee for you to drink.”
Today was Jameson’s 28th birthday.
However, he ended up spending it at the detention center.
Reporters who had caught wind of the news had gathered outside the police station. Carl and Jason were completely surrounded by them. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t provide clear explanations. They were in a difficult position.
Alyssa sat in a luxurious car on the opposite side of the street. She lowered the car window and looked toward the hustle and bustle across the road. A confident look on her face showed that she had the situation in control.
“Ms. Alyssa! Schmidt Group’s shares reached limit down today. There’s news bashing Jameson all over the internet. This feels so satisfying!” Sean remarked while he swiped through the comments on Twitter. He smiled from ear to ear.
“It’s not my style to have premature celebrations. This nasty battle is far from finished.”
The expression on Alyssa’s face was calm. However, steam was coming out of her ears. “It doesn’t matter whether the Schmidt family is destroyed or the Schmidt Group is in turmoil These are not important at all. From the very beginning, Jameson has only treated Schmidt Group as a front for his filthy business. He doesn’t care about the corporation’s survival at all.
“His final objective is to serve that mastermind behind him. He wants to use the so-called ‘new drug’ to gain control over the entire Solana City!”
Chills went down Sean’s spine when he heard that.
“But, since he has been detained, we have enough time to tackle Chief Novak. He will be the breakthrough for us to take Jameson down!”
Jeremy helped Briar settle down and ascertained that she wouldn’t be in danger. After that, he traveled overnight to rush back to Solana City.
Worriedly, he returned to his home with Alyssa. The moment he entered the door, he heard the sound of Alyssa’s melodious laughter coming from the living room. She and Rosie were watching a television series together.
Jeremy felt relieved. A smile spread across his face slightly. He draped his suit over his forearm and walked over quietly.
“Madam, you haven’t rested at all after such a busy day. Yet, you even made dessert for Mr. Jeremy. It must be so tiring for you.”
Rosie plucked an icy cold grape and put it on Alyssa’s palm. Her eyes filled with concern. “You can leave these things to me. You should take the opportunity to rest.”
“It’s alright. I’m not tired. Plus, I get to focus on doing one thing and declutter my mind when I’m making desserts. It helps me to feel more relaxed.”
Alyssa smiled and ate the grape. She even fed a grape to Rosie. “It’s been a while since Jeremy had a good rest too. When he comes back, I’ll have him eat all of it, take a shower, and have a good night’s rest.”
Rosie sighed, “You were the one who took care of his daily living at Seaview Manor. You didn’t rest a single day throughout those three whole years. I didn’t think that you’d still be the same now.”
Rosie couldn’t help but feel gloomy. “You should love yourself more too, madam. Don’t be so good to him. You’re going to spoil him!”
Jeremy stayed standing in the shadows. He pursed his lips, and his heart skipped a beat.
“He’s my man. Who else would dote on him if not me?”
The image of Jeremy’s captivating eyes flashed across Alyssa’s mind. They have already been together for such a long time. She couldn’t believe she would still have butterflies in her stomach. It was as if they had just started dating. “Moreover, he’s worth it.”
Jeremy’s eyes welled up with tears. A lump rose in his throat; he had never felt that he was worth it. He simply thought that he was fortunate.
Alyssa screamed in fright to see Jeremy standing there. The grape she was chewing almost fell out of her mouth. “Jeremy? When did you get back? Why are you standing there silently like a ghost? You scared me!”
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t eavesdropping on your heart-to-heart talk on purpose.”
The couple walked toward one another.
They embraced one another tightly, just like two opposite poles of a magnet.
“Did you miss me?” Jeremy placed his warm hand on the back of Alyssa’s neck. He lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose with hers.
“You took the words out of my mouth…” Alyssa winked and grumbled softly.
“I missed you.”
His breath became deep. Without waiting for Alyssa to finish her sentence, he said, “I missed much, Lyse. Very, very much.”
Alyssa noticed the dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, making him look worn. She knew that he wasn’t lying.
With her fuzzy flippers on her feet, she tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck. She then planted a kiss on his lips.
Jeremy wasn’t going to be satisfied with just a peck. Immediately, he pulled her into his arms. He caressed her waist as he parted her lips and found his way in until he had taken over completely. Even her breaths had become his and his alone.
Soon enough, Alyssa had melted in his arms. Her entire face flushed red.
As for Rosie, she had retreated to the kitchen a while ago to check on the desserts in the oven.
Just as their passionate tension was rising, Alyssa’s phone rang.
In a muffled voice, she said, “Hold on. Let me take this call.”
She felt for her phone in her pajama pocket. It was Cyrus. She stabilized her breathing quickly and answered the call.
“We have a problem, Lyse.”
“What happened?” Alyssa and Jeremy held their breaths.
“It’s Jameson. He wants to see you.”
Cyrus clenched his teeth tightly. He became enraged. “No matter how we interrogate him, he simply feigned ignorance. After that, his lawyer told me that he will only start talking if he sees you.” “Don’t go, Lyse.”
Jeremy’s eyes turned red. He shook his head slightly. “This could be Jameson’s scheme. I cannot allow you to meet with him!”
“Why? Is my man being jealous?” Alyssa smiled. She moved her finger in a circular motion on his chest flirtatiously.
“Don’t go, Lyse. I’m being serious,” Jeremy insisted in a deep and husky voice.
“I have to go. I’m being serious too.”
Alyssa fixed her fiery gaze on him. “I have to take the bull by the horns. This is a practice that’s passed down in the Taylor family. I can’t allow this practice to end with me.”
Cyrus came out to the foyer at the station to meet Alyssa. With heavy footsteps, Jeremy accompanied her. He only stopped when he was no longer able to advance further. Jameson occupied a single room at the detention center. There was only a hard bed in the room.
Even though he was dispirited and being locked up, he still sat upright. His suit was neat, and his hair was tidy.
His face, however, was pale and grim. A dark stubble was starting to grow on his chin. This usually elegant man was now looking desolate and defeated.
He opened his eyes when he heard the familiar sound of heels clacking.
He looked out the cell door with a passionate gaze. Standing on the other side of the cell door was Alyssa, who was always in a world opposite his.
He waited and anticipated meeting his most beloved woman. “Hello, Lyse.”
An endless tenderness came across his eyes. In a raspy voice, he commented, “That was really quick.”
Alyssa’s gaze was cold. She peeked at the surveillance camera in the upper left corner. Knowing that Cyrus and Jeremy were watching her made her feel at peace.
“Didn’t you say that you’d talk if I came? I’m here now, so speak up. Don’t waste everyone’s time.”
