Xavier didn’t notice Alyss a was present, but when he did, it was too late. He wished the g round would open up and swallow him whole.
“So Mr. Walsh already has his hands full.”Jameson nodded to himself.”Why doyou keep on following Ms. Alyssa, then?”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened as Xavier hastily glanced away. The latter couldn’t help but think that Jameson was being too upfront.
Meanwhile, Alyssa tensed up slightly. She couldn’t figure out how Jameson knew who she was.
“If you two have divorced, then by right,you should stay out of each other’s lives,”Jameson said coldly, eyeing Jeremy.”The first step to being a gentleman is learning proper manners.”
Xavier was upset now. He stormed up to Jameson, saying, “How dare you talk to him like that?”
“Alright, you’ve had your fun,”Alyssasaid tenderly, leaning up to the man. She didn’t want him to cause a big scene.
“Okay.”Jameson’s cold glare instantlyswitched to a warm smile.
Jeremy gazed at the two as they left, the blood in his veins slowly turning to liquid ice.
Alyssa was seeing someone else now.
Jeremy clutched his chest, wondering why the pain was so intense. It felt as if someone had carved a hole behind his ribs.
It was only at this moment that the realization of their divorce struck him like a freight train of bricks.
…
When Sean saw Alyss a and Jameson em erge from the elevator in the underground parking lot, he hurried over. “Ms. Alyssa! How’s the injury?”
“All taken care of. What about ourattacker?”
“I’ve had someone escort him back home,undercover. He’s currently at our private headquarters. There’s no way he can escape,” Sean whispered to her.
“Great!We’re going to have loads of funfor the next few days.”Alyssa grinned devilishly.
Sean nodded.”Whenever you’re ready, Ms. Alyssa.”
“Wait for me by the car. I want to talk tothe guy first.”Alyss a then turned back to Jameson.
Jameson gazed steadily at her, leaning against his sleek Bentley like a marble Adonis.
“You’ve seen my relationship with Mr.Walsh. It’s more complicated than I’d like.”Alyssa smiled at him, her tone tinged with guilt.
She continued,”I had to do what I did, hence the roleplay. Regardless, I shouldn’t have dragged you into my mess. I’m sorry. 11
“Don’t be. It’s my honor.”Jamesongrinned.
Alyssa felt even guiltier now.
“You’re welcome to do it again if you’dlike,” he added.
“You joke, mister,” Alyss a laughed.”Ipray nothing like this happens next time.”
“Make sure no water gets on your wound.Don’t eat anything too inflammatory. Get some rest as soon as you’re home. It’s late. 11
Jameson couldn’t bear to part with her, but he knew when to stop. He turned and got into his car.
“Wait!”Alyssa exclaimed, rememberingan important question she needed to pose before Jameson drove away.
The ink-black window rolled down slowly, revealing Jameson smiling kindly in the backseat.
“You called me Ms. Alyss a earlier. How doyou know my name? Have you known me from the beginning?” Alyssa asked curiously.
“Yes.”
“I have never revealed my identitypublicly, and barely anyone knows who I am here in Solana City. So how did you know? Have we met before?”
Jameson’s smile deepened for a few seconds. “I’ll tell you the next time we meet.”
His secretary and bodyguards then boarded the car before it departed.
Ten seconds later, Alyssa smacked herself in the forehead. “Shit! I forgot to ask for his name!”
…
Jameson observed the night scene unfolding outside the window as the Bentley glided silently through the streets. He gently touched the window, with only Alyssa on his mind at that moment.
“I never thought we’d meet again like this, Alyssa,” he murmured.
“Mr. Schmidt, I’ve investigated herconnection with Jeremy Walsh, and there’s no information whatsoever of their marriage! But there’s information indicating that they only divorced a month ago,” Carl reported, scrolling through his findings on his tablet.”Ms. Alyssa is officially single right now!”
“That doesn’t matter. She said I’m moreimportant to her than Jeremy is.” When Jameson recalled Alyssa’s words, his heart fluttered and swelled gloriously.
“Congratulations, sir! You beat JeremyWalsh!” Carl said, feeling happy for his boss.
“But that’s not enough.”Jameson tracedthe outline of Alyssa’s face on the window, his eyes filled with warmth.”I want her to have eyes only for me. Me, and no other.”
Alyssa, Sean, and Tatiana arrived at the former’s private villa around four in the morning.
Having been worried about her sister, Tatiana had forced herself to stay awake. Her tired, bloodshot eyes were a somber sight.
“Don’t blame yourself anymore, Taty. I’mreally okay. Don’t you have a class in the morning? Go and get some sleep,” Alyssa said, hugging her sister.
“Am I useless?” Tatiana mumbled, tearswelling up in her eyes.
She continued, You’ve always protected me since I was a kid, yet now that I’m older,I can’t do anything to protect you in return…”
“Silly girl.”Alyssa gently tapped herforehead.”Our family is better because of you and your mother. We love taking care of you and watching you grow.
“If you really want to do something forme, then pursue your dreams and never give up. When you make it big in the world of celebrities, I plan to make you an ambassador for my business. What do you think?”
“I will realize my dreams, Alyssa. You cancount on me!” Tatiana said, wiping away her tears.
Later, she cleaned up and went to bed to rest. Alyssa tucked her in and bi d her goodnight before exiting the room.
Sean was already waiting for her in the study.
“Any findings on why Liana washospitalized?”The gentleness in Alyssa’s eyes had swiftly turned to a keen, alert stillness.
“Yes. She attempted suicide by slitting herwrists. She has made it past the critical hour,” Sean replied, narrowing his eyes before adding,”with Jeremy Walsh’s supervision.”
“Of course. He’d remain by her side evenif he died and had become a ghost.”Alyssa scowled.
“What do you think about Liana’s actions,Ms. Alyssa?”
“It’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year.”Alyss a massaged her temples.
Then, she added, “She hasn’t had a taste of being Mrs. Walsh yet, nor has she killed me. She wouldn’t die so soon. Plus, if she genuinely wanted to kill herself, she would have made sure no one found her.”
“So you mean to say she’s using this toforce Jeremy’s hand?” Sean frowned.”But why such a risky move? Isn’t their wedding date right around the corner? Is it possible that Jeremy has changed his mind about the marriage?”
Irritation welled up in Alyssa’s chest.”
Who knows? He might already have his eyes on some other woman as we speak. I already fell victim. I wouldn’t be surprised if Liana is next.”
Jeremy chickening out and betraying his women wasn’t an unexpected occurrence anymore.
“You have a point. I still wish they couldproceed with the marriage. They truly deserve each other.” Sean wrinkled his nose at that. “That way, they won’t hurt other poor souls!”
He then asked, “Ms. Alyssa, who do you think sent that masked man earlier? I don’t think Sophia Kirkman did. Mr. Silas is still interrogating her, so she shouldn’t be able to arrange something like this in secret.”
“That man is local.”Alyssa’s gazedarkened.”He’s trained too. He is most likely a kickboxer from the underground rings. He had no particular set of skills, just quick to aim for the kill.
“Sophia wouldn’t have had the time, andBetty would never get herself involved with someone like that. Only Liana would be capable.
“Silas found out about her history inMosgravia before. She has slept with countless people over the years. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had been with that dimwit meat sack.”
Sean was taken ab ack by how logical Alyssa’s deduction was.
