Alyssa lay still on the soft, spacious bed, a peaceful expression on her face as she slept. She was still dressed in her pure and elegant wedding gown, looking so delicate and ethereal that she seemed untouchable-more enchanting than even Sleeping Beauty herself.
In the shadows, a tall man sat in a wheelchair, his back to the light, silently watching Alyssa.
“Sir, I’ve examined her thoroughly and confirmed that she has no external injuries,” Sheryl reported. Despite her limited surgical training, she had the skill to conduct basic examinations. “Her blood test is also complete. There are traces of tranquilizers and sedatives, but nothing harmful to her health.”
A hint of sarcasm crept into her voice as she smiled. “I knew it-Jameson cares too much about her to resort to poison.”
*Caution is never a bad thing,” Justin replied, his voice warm and melodic like the sound of bells. His face held a charming yet thoughtful expression. “It seems Ms. Alyssa has endured a lot on Rose Island lately.
“The last time I saw her, she was vibrant and full of life, thanks to my younger brother’s care. Now, she appears much thinner. But even that cannot take away her breathtaking beauty.”
“Sir, I’ve been with you for a long time, and it’s rare to hear you speak so highly of anyone,” Sheryl remarked, her eyes twitching as she fought to conceal her jealousy. “You truly care about Ms. Alyssa.”
A slight smile came across Justin’s face. “Are you being jealous?”
Sheryl bit her lip. “I’m not-“
“Is it that you’re not jealous, or that you don’t dare to be?”
Sheryl lowered her head, feeling utterly vulnerable. “Neither am I jealous nor do I dare to be.”
“Sheryl, you’re not lacking compared to anyone else. If there’s one flaw, it’s that you lack restraint. You’re not calculating or composed enough.”
Justin looked askance at her with a slight smirk on his face. ‘Don’t forget what I’ve told you to remember-never be tempted or moved, and never look back.”
Clenching her teeth, Sheryl echoed his words. “Without you, I wouldn’t have had a second chance at life. I’ll never forget what you’ve taught me, even when I’m dead.”
“You don’t need to invest emotions when you’re with me. They’ll only get in the way.” Justin’s smile was cold, his eyes deep and unreadable. “What I need is your unwavering loyalty.”
After that, he had Sheryl summon Remy, who was waiting outside, into the room.
“Well done. You carried out the mission perfectly,” Justin said with a warm smile, acknowledging Remy’s success.
Remy’s expression remained as cold as ever, devoid of emotion. He bowed deeply and respectfully at Justin. Still, he couldn’t help but steal a glance at Alyssa.
Justin moved his electric wheelchair out of the shadows, stopping beside the bed. He gazed down at Alyssa’s serene face, his voice steady as he asked, “How was Jeremy when you took Ms. Alyssa away?”
*Jameson gave Jeremy the three pills you provided,” Remy replied, his tone robotic. “Jeremy took them right in front of Jameson.”
“What?” Sheryl’s eyes widened in shock, turning immediately to Justin.
The look on Justin’s face, however, remained calm and composed. She couldn’t tell what he was feeling.
After a moment, a relaxed smile spread across his face. “I guessed as much. Jameson is deeply in love with Ms. Alyssa, so he wouldn’t bear to.”
Right at this moment, Remy asked out of the blue, “Sir, what would happen to Jeremy now that he’s taken those pills?” His voice was deep.
Sheryl was taken aback once again. In all her time knowing Remy after Justin had tamed him, she had never heard him express concern or ask questions-he had become an emotionless “cleaner’, rarely speaking at all.
“If it were anyone else, I could answer that easily. But with my brother…I’m not sure.”
Justin fixed his eyes on Remy’s cold face. He smiled brightly. “Jeremy has exceptional physical health. His willpower is stronger than an average person’s. He’s stronger and more determined.
*Plus, his love for Ms. Alyssa is far more than Jameson’s. So, who knows what will happen to him in the end? Though, I do hope that Ms. Alyssa can have a fresh start in life.”
Sheryl couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, what do you plan on doing next, then?”
Justin leaned forward and gently touched the tip of Alyssa’s nose as though afraid she might break.
‘Send Ms. Alyssa back.”
“What? Send her back?”
Sheryl’s eyes widened in disbelief. She was perplexed. “I-If you haven’t thought of keeping her by your side, why did you have to go through all that trouble to get her here?”
“That’s right. Why did I have to do that?”
Justin pondered for a moment before smiling. “Maybe it was because I missed her and wanted to see her.”
Both Sheryl and Remy stayed silent.
No one could predict Justin’s true thoughts. He had never opened up to anyone, so he didn’t reveal any of his weaknesses.
“Sheryl, let’s get ready.” Justin turned around and nonchalantly turned the ring around his pointer finger. Sophia had left behind the ring, which had a carving of a phoenix. The phoenix was the symbol of Sophia’s family. “It’s time for me to go home.”
Jameson was arrested on the spot by the Kontinian authorities. They also found massive amounts of drugs and firearms on Rose Island.
At the same time, that beautiful rose garden was proven by the relevant authorities to have been used for planting poppies in the past.
The news of Jameson’s arrest spread like wildfire throughout Kontina. Cyrris also caught wind of this news, which made headlines and became a trending topic.
The media was flooded with comments from Kontinian citizens, all echoing the same sentiment-overjoyed and relieved. It was as if Christmas had come early.
The evil influence of the Schmidt Group had once seemed like an impenetrable web, shadowing all of Kontina’s skies.
Jameson had maintained the guise of a charitable businessman, but countless people had suffered under his power, oppression, and violations.
It was just that no one had dared speak out before, harboring their resentment in silence.
Now, with this cancerous blight finally being cut out, the people’s long-held wishes had come true. The dark clouds over Kontina began to clear, revealing bright skies once more.
Though Jameson had long been a Kontinian citizen and should have faced justice there, Jeremy, as president of Kontina, made an exceptional decision, allowing him to be extradited to his home country, where he would face prosecution and sentencing.
The fight against such evil was bloody and fraught with danger, but Jameson’s empire had finally fallen, and justice had prevailed.
However, a heavy fog still hung over the Taylors. There was no sense of victory in their faces. Despite combing Rose Island, Alyssa remained missing. Meanwhile, Jeremy, gravely injured, had been lying unconscious in the ICU for 48 hours.
As the men of the Taylor family continued the search for Alyssa, Jonah, Jeremy, Miley, and Amber kept vigil outside the hospital ward. Even Landon, who had been abroad, rushed back to watch over Jeremy.
Worried that Lauren might be overwhelmed with the news of Jeremy’s condition, Landon had kept her in the dark. He accompanied her back to Cyrris and left Jordan to stay with her, only then returning to Kontina.
‘Jameson’s been arrested, and I had to find out from the news!” Landon fumed, his shoulders trembling with anger, eyes bloodshot. “Do none of you see me as your friend? How could you keep this from me at such a crucial time? Just because I got married doesn’t mean I’m dead! You’re all treating me unfairly!”
Everyone looked at him, speechless. If this had been good news, maybe they could understand his frustration. But with Jeremy’s life hanging in the balance, they hadn’t told Landon out of concern for him and Lauren.
Landon, however, seemed to feel left out, as if he had missed out on something significant.
His thoughts were bizarre indeed.
“Sorry, Landon,” Jonah said, stepping forward. The dark circles under his eyes spoke of sleepless nights. “But everything happened so fast. We didn’t have the time to inform you. Jeremy is unconscious, Lyse is missing, and we-
“You don’t need to explain, Jonah. I get it.” Landon’s voice cracked, his eyes filling with tears. “I just feel terrible for not being here to help when you all needed me most.”
“We understand,” Jonah said, pulling Landon, who was like a brother to him, into a hug.
At that moment, the clinical professors attending to Jeremy stepped out of the ward, and everyone rushed toward them. Jonah spoke anxiously, “How is he?”
The lead professor hesitated. “Rather than saying the situation looks bad, it’s… strange.”
Everyone was flabbergasted. “Strange?”
“We conducted a full body check. His organs show signs of reacting to stimulants, but there’s no evidence of poisoning. We examined his brain and found that the issue is there.”
Landon, impatient, snapped, “Could you just get to the point?”
“We suspect Mr. Walsh’s brain has suffered a severe blow, but we can’t figure out why he’s still unconscious.”
Their hopes were dashed. Furious, Landon punched the wall in frustration.
“We’re not neurology experts,” the professor continued. “You’ll need to bring in a neurologist to treat Mr. Walsh. We’re sorry, Mr. and Madam President.”
The other clinical professors bowed deeply to express their regrets.
Jeremy, holding Miley close, reassured her. “At least we know where the problem lies. That’s a step forward.” “Julien!” Jonah was immediately reminded of his lover at the mention of a neurologist. His eyes lit up with hope.” I’ll get Julien to come to Kontina immediately to treat Jeremy. He’s a specialist in this field!”
Just then, Jonah’s phone rang. It was Axel calling. He answered, putting the call on speaker so everyone could hear.
