“It’s none of your business. I don’t need you to interfere.” Alyssa’s gaze suddenly turned icy.
Jeremy experienced a sharp pain in his heart as she regarded him as if he were a stranger. Gritting his teeth, he uttered, “If you’re here seeking revenge for Lyla’s sake, I recommend picking another day.
Tonight is not the right time.”
“Why is it not the right time?”
Smiling, Alyssa sat gracefully with her legs crossed. She showed off her dignified charm like a queen.
“Oh, is it because Mr. Cornelius, Mrs. Harper, and your Zoe are all here? Are you afraid I’ll mess up your little arrangement?”
Jeremy furrowed his brows. “What arrangement?”
“Your marriage discussion.” Alyssa smiled teasingly.
“Alyssa! That’s enough!” Jeremy’s chest tightened, his bloodshot eyes glaring at her.
“Congratulations, Mr. Walsh. You’re getting married again.”
Alyssa completely ignored his anger and instead expressed her seemingly sincere blessing. “Ms. Zoe is young and beautiful, with a family background that’s so much more prominent than Liana’s. And she’s
Landon’s sister, making it all the more familial.”
“Mr. Javier will definitely be very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and your status in Harper Group will also get a boost,” Alyssa remarked.
“Do you think I care about that?” Jeremy felt like he was going to explode.
“Who cares if you care or not? Don’t mind my business, and I won’t bother with yours. I’m leaving.”
Alyssa came tonight to cause trouble for Sophia, not to be bothered by him.
She just wanted to leave this room as quickly as possible, as being alone with him in this room made her feel suffocated.
She was a sensitive woman, easily affected by emotions and prone to sentimental reactions. And in this room, when she looked back on her three years of marriage with Jeremy, all she could recall were unpleasant memories.
Moreover, she had lost her virginity in this room. And Jeremy, even to this day, still hadn’t remembered the night they spent together.
It was better to forget anyway.
Some things, when remembered, only caused pain.
Alyssa stood up gracefully, treating Jeremy as if he were just a mass of air. Without looking at him, she quickened her pace, wanting to walk past him quickly.
Just as they brushed past each other, Jeremy’s face turned frosty. He suddenly grabbed her arm and forcefully pinned her against the wall.
Alyssa cried out in shock, and her spine was sore from the impact.
In her gaze, Jeremy’s bloodshot eyes were simultaneously beautiful and stifling.
“Jeremy! Are you cra-“
“Did we have sex before?”
Jeremy’s rough yet magnetic voice reached her ears, almost making her blush. Her heart skipped a beat.” What did you say?”
“Never mind.” Jeremy felt his throat turn dry, and he shook his head forcefully.
Alyssa felt that Jeremy must have lost his mind. How could he ask her such a provocative question?
“Get off me!”
She didn’t use much force. Given Jeremy’s muscular frame of six feet two inches, he should be able to withstand that kick.
However, to her surprise, he staggered two steps back. He would have fallen if he hadn’t steadied himself against the wall.
Alyssa’s pupils contracted, and she could see that Jeremy had turned pale, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
She hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Jeremy asked hoarsely. “Why are you here for Sophia?”
“It’s none of your business. I don’t need you to interfere.” Alyssa’s gaze suddenly turned icy.
Jeremy experienced a sharp pain in his heart as she regarded him as if he were a stranger. Gritting his teeth, he uttered, “If you’re here seeking revenge for Lyla’s sake, I recommend picking another day.

“Why is it not the right time?”

Alyssa completely ignored his anger and instead expressed her seemingly sincere blessing. “Ms. Zoe is young and beautiful, with a family background that’s so much more prominent than Liana’s. And she’s
Landon’s sister, making it all the more familial.”
However, Jeremy suddenly realized that Alyssa wasn’t seeking an explanation or defense. She wasn’t concerned about his innocence.
What she wanted was for him to disappear from her life completely.
Landon’s presented evidence, while not direct, still implied an indirect solid connection.
This incident had become much more complicated than it should have been.
Luckily, only members of the Walsh and Harper families were present tonight. Making these matters public to outsiders or the media could ruin Zoe’s reputation.-
After all, Landon was Zoe’s brother, and it was impossible for him to be so ruthless.
Landon refused to compromise, and the situation was at a stalemate. Cornelius had no choice but to leave first. He needed to go back and investigate the whole situation thoroughly.
“Landon, Zoe, you two are coming back with me!” Cornelius said, standing up with his cane.
“Mr. Cornelius, are you leaving just like this? Have you settled your granddaughter’s marriage?” Alyssa’s voice rang out as she descended the stairs gracefully with a charming smile on her face.
She radiated a presence far more potent than Sophia, the true owner. It was almost as if Seaview Manor belonged to her as much as Heightsnew Villa did.
Sophia’s face darkened.
“Oh, Ms. Alyssa, you’ve graced us with your presence again. I’m sure you and Jeremy have a lot to catch up on. We won’t bother you.”
Cornelius didn’t look pleased, as Alyssa’s arrival had indeed messed up their plans.
“Please stay, Mr. Cornelius. Don’t get the wrong idea. Jeremy and I don’t have much to discuss. You can consider his recent behavior as a moment of confusion. As his ex-wife, even I still haven’t quite grasped what’s going on in his mind these past three years.”
Alyssa openly admitted her identity as Jeremy’s ex-wife, leaving Cornelius at a loss for words.
Jeremy arrived at the scene and quickly caught up. He overheard her words and frowned in frustration.
Cursing under his breath, he questioned whether he could ever win this woman’s favor in the next life.
But what was with those erotic scenes that appeared in his mind? Was he starting to have serval fantasies at the age of 20?
“Don’t bother me anymore, Jeremy.”
Despite Alyssa’s pounding heart, she fiercely pushed against his chest, her cheeks burning. “You saved my life, and I don’t want to hate you. But if you bother me again, I won’t show you mercy.”
“Alyssa, do you really hate me so much? Do you really not trust me?” Jeremy knew he sounded resentf
A man unable to garner any response from the woman he loved could grow resentful, eventual descending into madness.
