“I’ve sent my men to arrest Rosaline
Kirkman. I’ll bring that bastard who hurt Lyse to the station as well.” Cyrus was simmering in anger when he updated Silas in his signature hoarse voice.”Don’t worry. I will not go easy on him.”
Mandy Lovelace had two sons and a daughter. The late Damien, the fifth Taylor sibling, worked as the captain of an airline before his demise, while the sixth sibling, Miley, married and settled down in Kontina. Miley was a congressman’s wife and might be the first lady of Kontina one day.
Cyrus Taylor was the youngest son in the family. He had decided on a career in the police force to uphold justice.
His childhood ambition came true as he was now chief of the First Criminal Investigation Division in the Solana City Police Department.
“Yeah! Fuck him up badly!” Silas wasinfluenced by Cyrus’ passion and punched against the window. “Can’t the police spice up the interrogation? We prosecutors aren’t allowed to do so. Don’t miss your chance to take revenge for Lyse! 11
Jonah was speechless at the exchange. The daughters of the Taylor family were regal and dainty, but the sons were thuggish and belligerent, even more so than himself, who had been involved in the underground gangs.
When the three invincible sons of the Taylor family joined hands, their target had no way out.
…
Jeremy rushed to the hospital to visit Newton. Landon was worried for him and insisted on tagging along.
Jeremy sped to the hospital and parked his sports car at the entrance before sprinting into the hospital without care. Newton was his only tie to the Walsh family.
Only Newton loved and cared for him, treating him like a grandson.
“Grandpa!Grandpa!” Rushing toward thedestination, Jeremy repeatedly called out to Newton in a hoarse voice.
When he dashed into the corridor, panting heavily, he found Alyssa hugging a sleeping Lauren on the bench. The scene was as tranquil as something out of an oil painting. 1
She looked down and gently cuddled the girl in her arms. She had a peaceful look on her face, radiating grace and virtue.
Her petite frame was house to an indestructi ble force. She always showed up like an angel to help those in need.
Jeremy was overcome by a wave of bitterness and remorse. He felt thankful that she was around to hold the fort.
Alyss a looked up and stared into Jeremy’s eyes when she heard the footsteps.
He momentarily fell for the confused and gentle look in her eyes. Sadly, the moment did not last long. She put on a steely expression after she recognized him.
“Has Ms. Gardner’s birthday party ended?Is it okay for you to leave the mess behind and visit the hospital?”
Alyssa did not chastise him at all, but he felt terribly ashamed and exposed upon hearing her words.
He went up to her with regret in his eyes. She stared at the g round with a strong aversion, fervently wishing to shut him out.
“Grandpa’s asleep. Mr. Gorham is takingcare of him in the room. You can wait for him out here because he needs his rest,”Alyss a said.
“Alyssa, I’m sorry,”Jeremy croaked as hestruggled to contain his emotions.
“What? Sorry to me?” A snicker appearedon her lips.”You should feel sorry for your grandpa, who has narrowly escaped death. Why did you apologize to me when we have nothing to do with each other?
“Grandpa cares for you a lot, so I hopeyou’ll make more time for him. You got lucky because I was at his place tonight. What if I wasn’t there the next time he had a stroke?
“Luck will not always favor Grandpa. TheGrim Reaper will not spare him every time.
Feeling a heartache rising in her chest, she took a deep breath with misty eyes.”I regret he’s not my real grandfather. I feel bad that I can’t stay by his side all the time. I wish I could bring him everywhere and care for him at all times.”
“Alyssa …”Jeremy swallowed hard. Full ofbitterness, he struggled to come up with a reply. His apology was worthless to her.
“Jeremy!”Landon hurried over all of asudden. He cast a complicated look at Alyssa before addressing Jeremy sternly,”Come with me! I have something to tell you!”
“What is it? Tell me right here.” Jeremynever once took his eyes off Alyssa.
Landon furrowed his brows as he wondered how to go about it.
“Jeremy! Jeremy!”Suddenly, he wasspooked by a wailing female voice from afar. Meanwhile, Jeremy frowned and straightened up from shock.
Lauren was woken up by the screeching voice and stirred in Alyssa’s embrace. Her eyes fluttered open as she held tightly onto Alyssa’s shirt.”What’s going on? Did something happen to Grandpa?”
“Hey, Lauren, everything’s fine. Nothingbad will happen to him when I’m around.”Alyssa shot a glare at the distressed Liana and helped Lauren sit up.
Alyssa continued, “Lauren, I’ll find a place for you to rest. Grandpa can meet you the first thing after he wakes up.”
Alyssa’s emotionless exit put a bullet through Jeremy’s chest. He felt suffocated by the paini.
“Jeremy!”Liana’s eyes were swollen fromthe crying. She was about to throw herself into Jeremy’s arms when Landon stopped her coldly.
He advised, “Ms. Gardner, this is not the time to be meeting Jeremy. As a daughter, you should visit your dad at the hospital and get your mo m a capable attorney.”
She ignored his suggestion and shamelessly wailed at Jeremy,”I’m framed! I’m the victim. You must believe in me! How could I have betrayed you when I am so in love with you?” 1
Jeremy stood with his back to her. He clenched his jaw in irritation with wintry eyes. Her profession of love sickened him.
“Tsk, don’t you have any shame aftergetting knocked up? Quit talking about love. I’m going to barf.” Landon gave her a side-eye.
He continued, “You should be thankful that Jeremy is kind. If I were Jeremy, the father of your child would have been dead by now. I would have kicked your family out of Solana City and made sure you never showed up in front of me!”
Liana was stunned by Landon’s heartless remark and shuddered. Jeremy finally turned around stiffly and glared at Liana.”Leave.”
“No,I won’t!” Liana whined, still actinglike an obnoxious little brat, thinking that she could get her way with Jeremy.
Little did she know that Jeremy had texted Xavier. Xavier showed up with two bodyguards to send her away.
“Remove her. Let’s not disturb otherpatients,”Jeremy ordered in an icy tone.
“Got it!” Xavier furiously rolled up hissleeves and took Liana away by her arms with the help of another bodyguard.
“There’s nothing between Curtis and I …He … He raped me because I refused to date him! That’s how I got pregnant with his child!”
Liana resorted to telling a ridiculous lie to get out of it. “He blackmailed me repeatedly and dragged me down with him when I refused to give in. He wanted to destroy me!
“Jeremy, I’m a victim as well! Why do yourefuse to trust me?”
“Liana.”The glint of ice in Jeremy’s eyesplunged her into despair. There was no hope of salvaging the relationship.”I didn’t break up with you over that man or the child.”
Puzzled by Jeremy’s explanation, she stared agape at him.
“I don’t blame you for leaving me andfalling in love in Mosgravia. I wouldn’t even blame you for giving birth to someone’s child.” Hatred filled Jeremy’s eyes.
He curled his fists and continued,”But you shouldn’t have lied about your severe depression. You used it as a cover to manipulate me into marrying you!”
“No … That’s not it …” Liana startedmumbling incoherently as blood drained from her face. The gravity of her mistake finally dawned on her.
She lied that she suffered from severe depression to keep Jeremy by her side. However, it hadn’t occurred to her that Jeremy and his mother were the victims of severe depression.
Worried that Liana might share his mother’s fate, he tolerated her behavior and cruelly abandoned Alyssa, who had loved him deeply.
She had never considered the fallout when her cover was blown. Not only did she manipulate Jeremy, but she also humiliated his mother. Jeremy would never forgive her.
“You manipulated my feelings with thecondition that my mother and I suffered from.”Jeremy was burning in regret and rage. He laughed at himself. “Liana, you made me feel like a fool.”
“No, Jeremy! That’s not it…”
Landon shook his head and questioned with resentment, “Liana, nobody knows Jeremy’s pain as much as you do because you were his childhood friend. You wouldn’t have tortured and lied to Jeremy, inflicting pain on him for the second time, if you had a bit of conscience.
“How could you guilt-trip him with yourchildhood memories? It begs the question if you’re truly in love with him. That’s not how you treat a man you love. I’d rather be single than date a woman like you. This is sickening.”
“Landon, that’s enough.” Jeremy wasreluctant to revisit his memories of Liana or get involved with her any further.”Xavier, I do not want to see her ever. I want her out of my sight right now.”
“Of course, Mr. Walsh!”Xavier stared atLiana with a look of disgust and forcefully dragged her away.
“Jeremy, how could you treat me this way?”Liana finally ditched her pitiful act andyelled at him hysterically.”Those are all excuses! You broke up with me because you were bored of me! You left me behind because you are in love with Alyssa Taylor!
“What’s so good about that bitch? Did shesave your life or what? She used a fake identity from the start because she was up to something!Wasn’t she lying to you as well?”

“Shut the fuck up! You have no right tocompare yourself to her!”Jeremy’s eyes widened in fury as he bellowed at Liana,a scene never seen before.”One more word about Alyssa from you, and I will kick the Gardners out of this country. Get lost right now!”
