That night, the banquet hall was bustling with attendees from the elite circles.
Quite a number of wealthy scionesses heard that Jeremy would show up tonight. Despite hearing that he was already attached, they dressed gorgeously and came over excitedly to look at him. Even though they couldn’t have him, there was nothing wrong with admiring his looks, was there?
Nonetheless, outsiders were unaware that this beautifully-matched couple, Jeremy and Alyssa, had already broken up.
“Jeremy, there are many scionesses from reputable families here tonight. They have all come out of their admiration for you.”
Javier and Jeremy stood by a railing on the second floor as they looked down upon the glamorous banquet hall.
With a smile on his face, Javier patted Jeremy’s shoulder. “Let me know if anyone catches your fancy. I can help bring you together, no matter which family she’s from.”
The look in Jeremy’s eyes was deep. He replied in a cold and emotionless voice, “Thanks for your kind thoughts, but there’s no need for that.”
Javier frowned. He tightened his grip on Jeremy’s shoulders. “Jeremy, if you truly want to inherit Walsh Group, a marriage alliance is a responsibility you must shoulder! The doctor said you lack emotion right now. In that case, all women should be equal in your eyes. Including Alyssa.”
“I’m doing very well right now. I don’t need a woman.” Jeremy frowned. “Even though I have broken up with Ms. Alyssa, you shouldn’t put her on the same plane as other women. After all, she was once very important to me.”
Very important-these two words tugged at his ice-cold heartstrings.
“Jeremy, are you staying that you haven’t moved on from that woman from the Taylor family?” Javier’s voice had a clear tone of displeasure.
Icily, Jeremy answered, “Dad, this is a personal matter of mine. I have the right not to answer you.”
“Jeremy, I have been through life more than you have. Listen to my advice. When choosing a life partner, you have to choose a virtuous woman. Plus, she has to love you more than you love her.”
Javier gazed at the stunningly dressed women downstairs. He continued, “Even though Alyssa has an outstanding family background, she has been spoiled by Winston so much that she has grown to become unrestrained, ignorant, nosy, and a troublemaker.
“She often puts herself in danger despite being unable to protect herself. She’s a ticking time bomb. Not only does she seem bent on dragging you down, but who knows if she’ll endanger our family one day? You don’t have nine lives for her to ruin!
“Look at those women downstairs. They are not that far off from Alyssa in terms of their looks and family background. Most importantly, they love, admire, and cherish you like treasure. They can’t bear to see you suffer. Moreover, they will be able to bear children for our family!”
Jeremy smirked coldly. “So, this was the reason you married my mother?”
Javier was at a loss for words.
“Dad, it’s true that I had a brain injury, but I did not lose my memories. I haven’t forgotten the kind of woman Alyssa is.”
Jeremy turned around nonchalantly. Standing up straight, he continued, “I was once married, and I had a girlfriend.
I am completely uninterested in marriage and dating. I’m sorry, but I’m unable to meet your demands.”
Javier clenched his teeth as he exhaled sharply.
Jeremy had just taken a few steps when Javier suddenly called out. “Jeremy!”
Without turning back, Jeremy said, ‘Just save it if you’re still going to talk about having a marriage alliance.”
Javier shook his head helplessly. “I wanted you to receive Justin at the parking lot.”
Jeremy stopped in his tracks.
“Justin isn’t in the best of health, and this is his first time showing himself publicly since returning to the country. I’m afraid that he wouldn’t be used to it. You can look after him while you accompany him.”
With Sean’s company, Alyssa arrived at Berenike Hotel on time.
Right now, the situation between her and Jeremy was awkward. So, it wouldn’t be suitable for her to attend an event organized by the Walsh’s in the first place as it would bother both parties.
But Newton called her again and again to extend his sincerest invitation. She didn’t have it in her to disrespect Newton, so she summoned up the courage to come.
Her Spirit of Ecstasy Rolls-Royce was parked in the underground parking lot. Sean turned to her from the passenger seat. “Ms. Alyssa, I’ll walk you over.”
“It’s alright. I’m just dropping by to see Grandpa Newton for a bit. I won’t stay for long. Just wait for me here.” Upon saying that, Alyssa opened the door and exited the car. Then, she strutted straight toward the hotel. Just as she stepped into the hallway, a bunch of reporters rushed toward her and surrounded her from all sides. “Ms. Alyssa! I heard that you and Mr. Walsh have broken up. Is that true?”
Alyssa’s heart dropped. In an instant, her face turned pale.
“Did you break up with him, or did he break up with you?”
“You’re both a publicly-recognized model couple and a match made in heaven. What was the reason for your breakup? Was there a third party?”
“A few years ago, you and Mr. Walsh divorced because of Ms. Gardner. Did he cheat on you again this time?” At first, Alyssa didn’t want to say anything. But she couldn’t squeeze her way out of the crowd surrounding her. On top of that, she didn’t wish to play dumb after she heard those groundless speculations.
So, with a steady gaze in her eyes, she said, “Mr. Walsh and I had an amicable breakup. There has never been any third party that came between us at any time. We are still on good terms. Everyone, please do not make groundless speculations.”
One of the reporters suddenly questioned loudly, “Did you both break up because of Ms. Gillis?”
The reporter pressed on, “Recently, Ms. Gillis and Mr. Walsh have been frequently spotted together in public. Rumor has it she’s his new lover! You and Mr. Walsh just broke up, and now he’s with someone else. Were they involved before?”
Alyssa silently clenched her fingers into fists. Suddenly, a chill overcame her like a cold-blooded snake slithering up from her calf.
She forced herself to maintain her composure. With a sharp gaze, she stared at the reporter who threw those questions out.
Intimidated by that stare, that reporter shrunk back into the crowd.
“I will say this one last time. Mr. Walsh and I had an amicable breakup. It had nothing to do with anyone else. Jeremy and I have been together for many years.
“Even though we have broken up, I will continue to defend his reputation as a friend. I am not going to allow anyone to slander or damage his reputation. Having been together for so many years, no one knows how good of a person he is better than I do…
As Alyssa spoke, her eyes turned red. She choked back on her tears as she broke into a bright smile. “So, from now on, I will sue all those who spread rumors about Mr. Walsh!”
The reporters shot looks at one another.
The one who spoke up thoughtlessly earlier started trembling.
Alyssa took a few deep breaths. She marched forward, wanting to leave this place as quickly as possible.
However, too many people were surrounding her, making it difficult for her to walk forward. She even felt like the air around her was wearing thin.
Right at this moment, a deep and husky voice sounded through the crowd. “Everyone, please excuse me.”
When the crowd turned toward the speaker, they were all floored.
Alyssa looked in the direction of the voice too. Instinctively, she widened her eyes.
Under the radiant light, Justin was on his feet, looking elegant and gentle in his suit. He parted the crowd and walked straight toward Alyssa.
Jeremy happened to rush to the scene just then. He saw that Justin had gotten out of his wheelchair and looked absolutely healthy as he walked stately toward Alyssa.
The people around them gazed at the extremely matching pair with awe.
Upon noticing that, Jeremy’s eyes reddened. An inexplicable feeling surged within his chest, filling him with agitation, uneasiness, and an urge…
He stumbled. He quickly put his shaking hands against the wall to help himself find his balance.
“That is such a handsome man. He’s got such confidence! Who is he?”
“He has shown up once. He’s Mr. Jeremy’s half-brother, the oldest son in the Walsh family!”
“Oh! No wonder… He looks somewhat like Mr. Jeremy!”
“Because of his physical health, he had to recuperate overseas throughout the year. If not for that, why would Walsh Group’s management rights end up in the hands of the second scion?
