Perhaps, just like the average man, he was a shameless sucker for women who were hard to get. He never took Alyssa seriously when she was nice to him. He started developing an interest in her when she hurt him with words.
She refused to look into his eyes “What do I do? Pick them up from my room, or wait for someone to pack them up and bring them down?”
Jeremy’s ringing phone interrupted the conversation at a bad time. He realized that he had an important call scheduled and informed her apologetically, “I need to take a call. I’ll be back soon.”
“Suit yourself”
After he left in haste, she let out a long sigh and relaxed. It was an awkward trip for her. When she was married to him, she had put in a lot of effort for some alone time with him, but he heartlessly turned his back on her piece of cake.
The two of them marched through the entrance. Gossip spread like wildfire among the maids.
Oh, my God! Is there something wrong with my eyes? Did he bring home Madam Allison?”
“It is Madam Allison indeed! She’s glowing. Why would he divorce such a stunning beauty?”
“How do we address her? Madam Allison or Ms. Burton? This is bad. It’s all messed up.”
“Let’s go with Ms. Burton, or we might upset that Gardner girl. Who knows what trouble we’ll get into when she marries Mr. Jeremy.”
“Right. She’s easily jealous, unlike our easygoing Ms. Burton.”
Jeremy overheard the gossiping and turned to Alyssa with slight annoyance in his eyes. She must have heard the words as well, but she seemed unconcerned to the point that it bothered him
“Where’s my stuff?”
“In your room where you put them.”
“Why didn’t you leave them out here if I’m coming to pick them up? That’s pure laziness,” she nagged at him with a frown.
“Those are your precious items. I dare not touch them.” He gave her a deep look.

Things were different after the divorce. He had driven to Belbanks to pick her up, even preparing high heels for her and helping her buckle her seatbelt with the attentiveness of a newlywed.
Alyssa felt creeped out by Jeremy’s sudden show of care. His belated attention was like expired food that only brought disgust
She made a call to Sean “Sean, I’m at Seaview Manor in Solana City Pick me up now”
“What?” He was astonished to hear that “W Why are you there?”
“It’s a long story Let’s talk when you’re here”
After the call, she made her way up the stairs She planned to pack the clothes and leave the moment Sean arrived, as she did not want to overstay
Her former bedroom was near Lauren’s room. From talking to the maids, she learned that Lauren had taken a break from her studies. She thought of checking in with the girl
Standing at Lauren’s door, she overheard Betty’s bitchy rant “You little bitch! What did you do to
M: Harper at Grandpa’s birthday? Tell me
“No, I didn’t Betty, I didn’t do anything to him” Lauren’s teary voice was heart¨Cwrenching to heat
“Bullshit” Lauren’s denial only fanned Betty’s anger Betty believed that her sister was lying
How could you have done nothing with him after he took the spiked drink? How do you explan the hickey on his neck? Was that an animal bite?”
“I don’t know I don’t remember a thing, I swear Ouch!”
What followed was the sound of a shattered vase Alyssa clenched her fist and busted the door open, which came as a shock to Betty
You? When Betty finally pulled herself together, she saw a swift movement that attacked her
Tight on the face
“high” Soon, another slipper landed on her face. Her face was flushed with marks from the slipper attack She appeared dizzy, which made her look rather hilarious
The pressed a hand on her forehead and pointed a finger at Alyssa’s face, but she was too angry to think of any insult
Have you not cleaned that wiluar mouth of youte? Alyson crossed her are on her chest and smted with a threatening head tilt
A¨CAllison Lauren curled up into a tiny ball and shivered in a corner. She started crying agitatedly after seeing Alyssa
“Alyssa Taylor, you crazy bitch!” Betty was seething. Her face was numb from the attack, as the slippers were harder than the palm of a hand.
She continued, “You think you’re something just because you’re a Taylor? I am a Walsh, and I’m as powerful as you. I will not let this slip!”
“Please keep your word. I, too, need a good reason to punch you.” Alyssa did not give a damn about
Betty at all. Her eyes spelled mockery.
She added, “You’re just a good¨Cfor¨Cnothing who bullies your sibling. Pretty impressive, aren’t you? Those who don’t know that you’re Sophia’s daughter might think you were raised by a pack of wolves!”
It took Betty a while to get the mockery, as she was not the sharpest tool in the shed. She growled and threw herself at Alyssa.
“How dare you call me an animal? I’ll rip you to shreds!”
Alyssa shook her head in disgust at the sight of Betty’s ugliness. She was reluctant to dirty her hands by punching Betty¨Cthe woman was a mad dog.
Just when Betty was close to touching Alyssa, she was grabbed on the wrist by a huge and defined hand.
“Ouch! That hurts!” Feeling the pain, Betty doubled over.
Alyssa sensed an increase in testosterone in the vicinity. She turned around and found Jeremy staring at her. They exchanged gazes.
She picked up a hint of concern in his eyes, which might well be an illusion. She shook it off and reminded herself that she was only being delusional.
She’d rather believe in ghosts than his feelings for her.
“Did she hurt you?” He looked at Alyssa and questioned with a concerned tone.
Alyssa paused for a while before saying coldly, “I’m fine, but Lauren might not be.”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on Betty’s wrist.
“Ouch! Jeremy, let go! It hurts!” Sweating from the pain, Betty was close to tears. He finally let go of her wrist. Betty stumbled backward and fell onto the ground from the strong impact.
“Jeremy, that bitch started it! She threw her slippers at me! Look at the mark on my face¨Cthat’s the evidence!”
Punching the ground between sobs, she grumbled, “How could you blindly side with an outsider who beats up your sister at home?”
Surprisingly, he did not so much as give Betty a look. Instead, he turned to Alyssa. “Are you really okay?”
Betty’s wrist.

Alyssa secretly rolled her eyes and ignored him. Instead, she hurried over to Lauren and squatted on the floor, gently caressing Lauren’s soft hair.
“Alyssa!” Lauren immediately went into her embrace and sobbed. She had never shed a tear when
