A chilling stillness gripped the atmosphere, and Jeremy felt like he almost couldn’t breathe.
“Ben, you’ve seen it for yourself. Grandpa doesn’t want to see me.”
Jeremy’s throat rolled dryly.
His voice was low and hoarse as he instructed Ben, “Tonight, I’ll stay in a hotel near Crescent Bay. Let me know if there’s any issue with Grandpa, and I’ll rush over. I won’t stay here and cause trouble for the old man. I’ll leave for now.”
After hearing Jameson’s side of the story, Alyssa couldn’t help but find it unbelievable.
Setting aside Jameson’s refined and elegant appearance, she doubted whether he could commit such a brutal act. 3
Even if he wanted to deal with David, given his status, he could easily find someone else to handle it. Why would he personally get involved? 1
She regained her composure and asserted firmly, “Mr. David, this is a grave matter, and you need concrete evidence. Furthermore, you should address these concerns with Uncle Victor and the authorities, not with me.”
“Ms. Alyssa, you saved me. You are my benefactor! I’m not so heartless as to stand by and watch you walk into the lion’s den without knowing its inhabitants!”
With anxiety and sincerity in his voice, David continued, “I know Jameson is after you, and you two appear to be close. I fear you might be blinded by him!
“That man has been psychologically disturbed since childhood. His refinement is merely a fa?ade. In truth, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
“His pursuit of you is solely to leverage the Taylor family’s influence to turn his life around. He doesn’t genuinely care about you.
“Jameson may not be entirely malevolent, but he certainly isn’t virtuous. After all, he orchestrated the ‘ accident’ at the racecourse.”
David was acutely aware that Jameson was channeling his anger on Alyssa’s behalf, and it was particularly unsettling considering Jameson’s inclination to take matters into his own hands.
A marital union with Alyssa seemed unequivocally unattainable given David’s present circumstances.
Unable to have her, he pledged to disrupt Jameson’s path. His resolve was firm-he aimed to expose the hypocritical mask Jameson wore.
Exiting the hospital room, Alyssa appeared lost in contemplation. Outside, the Schmidt family inquired about the situation, and Alyssa responded sincerely, though her distracted eyes betrayed her thoughts.
In that moment, Alyssa caught sight of Jameson standing in the corner. She pursed her lips and walked straight toward him.
“Lyse, I appreciate your efforts,” Jameson said, standing upright and distancing himself from the wall with a smile.
Alyssa, who wore a mask, comforted David, saying, “Please remain calm.”
She added, “Just saving one leg already makes you luckier than many others.”
“Someone intentionally harmed me. Jameson is behind it!”
David’s expression suddenly turned fierce as he grabbed Alyssa’s hand.
Feeling a sense of alarm, Alyssa cast a quick glance at the two doctors. Luckily, they were a distance away, and David’s indistinct words went unnoticed by them.
Alyssa asked the doctors to leave, and she went to close the door.
With a grave expression, she turned to David and inquired, “Mr. David, during the last surgery, while you were under anesthesia, you mentioned that Jameson tried to kill you. Do you have any evidence?”
David trembled violently, clearly recalling the night of the accident with intense fear.
“After my car flipped, the driver died on the spot, but my secretary survived. I was pinned under the car, unable to move, but I distinctly remember my leg was not broken. It was still functional.”
Alyssa furrowed her brow. “And then?”
David’s eyes widened with fear as he recounted, “Then I saw a black car slowly approaching. A man wearing a cap and a black mask exited the car. I won’t mistake his face and his eyes. It was Jameson!”
Alyssa’s heart tightened.
“He walked over, holding an iron rod. Without a word, he beat my secretary to death in front of me! Then, he raised the rod high and struck my leg! I screamed in agony, and after that, I can’t remember anything else.”
Alyssa remarked, “David lost a leg. He wouldn’t frame you so blatantly.”
Through gritted teeth, Jameson explained, “David is just a pawn for Josh. He’s been involved in various underhanded activities orchestrated by Josh.
“David has accumulated numerous enemies in Solana City, and plenty of people would seize the opportunity to retaliate against him. Besides, what happened to him today, he brought upon himself.”
Then, he disclosed everything that happened at the racecourse to Alyssa.
“If there’s anyone with sinister motives, it’s David!”
Alyssa stared at him calmly.
“Lyse, I’ve never given much weight to the Schmidt family. If I were to take action against them, I wouldn’t resort to such crude methods. It doesn’t align with my taste.”
Jameson adjusted his posture, raising the coffee cup and taking a sip, projecting confidence and refinement.
Having forsaken his conscience to survive with his mother in Kontina for 15 years, he had become adept at putting on a performance, crafting each lie to be as convincing as possible.
Even in the sincerity of his love for a woman, he found himself instinctively resorting to deception time and time again.
Lies could be virtuous or malicious, but he was confident that all the lies he told Alyssa were driven by good intentions-a manifestation of his love..
Alyssa fixed her gaze on him, the sharp intensity of her eyes causing even someone as strong-willed and ruthless as Jameson to feel a twinge in his heart.
“Jimmy, honesty and kindness matter to me. It’s not about lacking trust in you. I simply hope that you maintain a sincere and compassionate heart, regardless of the future, just as you did in our childhood.
Jameson’s fingers, resting on the table, curled inwardly. His heart tightened, and a wave of shame- induced pain washed over him,
He weakly lifted the corner of his lips, grabbed a fork, took a substantial bite of cake, and chewed forcefully.
Jameson reflected in silence. Much like his all-encompassing love for Lyse, he acknowledged that
After parting with Jameson, Alyssa felt a mix of emotions for some reason.
At this moment, Jonah’s call came in. She snapped out of her thoughts and quickly answered the call.
“Jonah.”
“Lyse, Axel has managed to get what
“What is it?” Alyssa asked, puzzled.
“Julien Lovelace.” you wanted.”
Alyssa coughed, nearly choking on her saliva upon hearing that.
“Axel has put in a lot of effort to bring him back to Solana City. When you see him tonight, you’d better thank him properly.”
“Axel will be back tonight, too? That’s great! I miss him so much!” Alyssa rubbed her eyes, and her voice choked up a bit.
Perceptive as always, Jonah quickly picked up on Alyssa’s emotions and said, “My bad. Axel planned to keep his return a surprise for you, but I got carried away and accidentally let it slip.”
“Jonah, I don’t need surprises. I just want everyone to be with me.”
However, she knew it was difficult.
“Lyse, are you in Solana City, at the hospital where David is?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll come pick you up.”
“No need, Jonah. I can’t go back for now.”
“It’s not just my idea. It’s also Dad’s.”
Jonah’s tone grew somber as he continued, “Dad said you’ve helped Mr. David with his leg, and you done your duty. There’s no need to worry about it anymore.
“Also, their family must be in chaos because of this incident. Although we have a good relationship, avoiding suspicion is better now. So Dad asked me to bring you back.”
In the next moment, he was thoroughly surprised!
In the car’s back seat, a tall man over six feet was lying horizontally, hands and feet bound. His mouth was tightly taped shut, and the only sounds he could make were muffled protests.
