He sat on the sofa with his neck tilted back, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
If someone else had bullied Alyssa, he might have acted even more recklessly than Jonah.
Thinking about Jonah’s parting words, Jeremy’s breath hitched. He felt as though his blood froze in his veins.
“Fair enough. If it were Lauren, I wouldn’t have stayed calm either.”
Landon looked worriedly at the cut on Jeremy’s neck. It wasn’t too deep, but blood had still stained his pristine shirt collar.
“Go to the hospital and get that taken care of.” @
“It’s fine,” Jeremy said while taking a deep breath.
“Why did Jonah turn so violent against you?” Landon asked with deep concern in his eyes.
“He found out about Alyssa and me being intimate, Jeremy replied.
“It seems that in Jonah’s eyes, Lyse is no longer just a sister. She’s like his daughter. He’s more of a fatherly brother. It’s not bad. At least he didn’t storm in here with a gun blazing. You’re luc teased
“In the end, it’s my fault I really shouldn’t have touched her after our divorce.”

“But, Landy, I couldn’t control myself. I couldn’t control my thoughts and my body. She was so close that night, and the temptation was too deadly for me. All I could think about was possessing her. I wanted her.”
He wanted to own her, to fill her, to make her completely his.
Landon thought of Lauren’s words and felt sorry for Alyssa.
“Thinking it over, it’s not surprising Jonah wanted to kill you. What you did to Lyse back then was truly horrible.”
“What are you saying?” Jeremy looked at him in confusion.
“Two years ago, you took Lyse’s virginity. She was already yours two years ago, and you don’t remember a thing. Damn, you’re a fucking horrible.”
“Landon.”
Jeremy looked at him in confusion. He clutched Landon’s hand with trembling fingers.
“Is what you’re saying true? Who told you this?”
Alyssa’s words that day had made him doubt himself.
But he couldn’t accept this revelation, as it overturned his entire understanding.
“Lauren unintentionally saw everything that happened that night.”
Landon let out a helpless sigh as he recounted, almost word for word, the secret that Lauren had disclosed to him.
Jeremy’s mind buzzed, and the immense shock left him almost detached from reality.
Their marital status wasn’t only a formality.
Why didn’t Alyssa tell him?
Winston told everything to his wives, and they were flabbergasted. They wanted to follow him to his visit to Alyssa, but he stopped them. 1
It took quite an effort to persuade them otherwise. He then instructed someone to send them back to Belbanks.
Winston trailed after Neil and his bodyguard. When they exited the airport, he saw Jameson standing there. He stood by the luxury car, waiting for Winston.
“Hi, Uncle Winston.” Jameson smiled as he shook Winston’s hand firmly.
Winston thought briefly. Then, he got into Jameson’s car. Neil and his bodyguard drove behind them.
After all, Jameson had mentioned that he had something to tell him about Alyssa.
Typically, a man like him would need to get in line to meet a big shot like Winston, even if he was Victor’s son. However, Jameson mentioned that whatever he wanted to discuss had something to do with Alyssa.
So, he couldn’t possibly sit around and do nothing.
The luxury car drove to the hospital without a hitch.
“Uncle Winston, I’ve been by Alyssa’s side this whole time. She is emotionally unstable and is often in a bad mood.”
A hint of heartache reflected in Jameson’s eyes as he continued, “I’ve known her for so long, and this is the first time I see her in so much pain. If you’d seen it, your heart would have ached for her, too. And I know just how much you care about her.”)
It was like an arrow pierced into Winston’s heart. It ached terribly.
Winston’s deep affection for Alyssa was undeniable, surpassing what he held for his other children. No one came close to Alyssa in terms of his affections.
If someone told him that his precious daughter had been hurt or wronged in any way, Winston’s anxiety would shoot through the roof. It would be insufferable for him.
Jameson knew this very clearly
He knew Alyssa was Winston’s kryptonite.
“Tell me, Jameson. What happened in the past few days that I was away?”
Winston looked at Jameson anxiously. “What trouble did Alyssa run into? Who did this to my precious daughter?”
“Uncle Winston, who do you think is capable of breaking someone as strong as Alyssa?”
Jameson clenched his fists as his gaze turned cold. “It was that guy who had hurt her and abandoned her. Then, he continued to pester her continuously. He stabbed a knife into her heart and cut it open over and over again.”
“Jeremy?” Winston frowned.
“There is no one else but him.”
“Does that rascal have anything to do with Alyssa’s accident?”
Jameson adjusted his glasses slightly. His gaze turned gloomy.
“I know Alyssa went to see Jeremy the day she got into an accident. I don’t know what terrible things happened between them, but it must have troubled Alyssa deeply. She was distracted, and that was how she got into the accident. The car was totaled. Thankfully, she wasn’t hurt badly.”
“Jeremy… What is he after that he won’t leave my daughter alone?” Winston’s car door bore the brunt of his frustration as he bellowed.
“Oh, there is one more thing, Uncle Winston. But, I’m not sure if I should tell you.” Jameson wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
“Tell me! Tell me everything you know about what that rascal did to my daughter.” Winston glared at him with reddened eyes. He was livid.
Jameson blinked briefly. He lowered his voice and told Winston how Jeremy claimed Alyssa as his own to
Winston. Alyssa was not conscious at that time.
Jameson was quick-witted. From the day Jeremy came to apologize to Alyssa, he keenly observed what Jeremy said and how Alyssa responded. Subsequently, he scrutinized their interactions, delving into the dynamics between them.
He had a pretty good hunch about what happened back then. It didn’t matter if he had a few pieces of missing information.
Whatever Jeremy couldn’t explicitly say, Jameson filled in the gap for him.
Jameson’s eyes betrayed a flicker of indiscernible emotions upon hearing Carl’s words.
After a moment of silence, he asked, “Did you find anything about the man I asked you to investigate? The one that was getting close to Amber.”
Carl hesitated momentarily before showing a troubled expression and admitted, “I sincerely apologize, Mr. Schmidt. I … couldn’t find anything.”
“Nothing?” Jameson raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, I’m ineffective,” Carl admitted. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
“I’ve tapped into all my connections to gather information on that man. But his background is so immaculate. It’s like it’s encrypted, leaving no trace or any leads.”
“Oh? Well, he sounds like an interesting person.”
Jameson smirked, but his eyes lacked any amusement.
