“I need to see the money by tomorrow evening. Madam, we’re partners. Let’s not end up in a lose lose situation.”
Rosie walked past Sophia’s bedroom with Jeremy’s new tailored suit in her hand. She heard the sounds of things crashing behind the closed door.
Frowning, she silently cursed, “What’s that crazy bitch up to again? Even if she marries the richest man in the world, she would still act the same!”
At that moment, Rosie’s phone started ringing with a call from Jeremy. Hiding in a corner, she answered,
Hello? Mr. Walsh, will you be home today?”
“Mrs. Rosie, are Sophia and Betty at Seaview Manor?” Jeremy asked patiently.
“Yes, they are. I overheard them fighting as I passed their room. I’m sure they’ve wrecked everything in
Then, she added with concern, “Did something happen? You have been gone for days.”
After some thinking, Jeremy decided not to tell Mrs. Rosie about Nina’s death for now, fearing that Mrs.
Rosie would fall into shock. He requested, “Mrs. Rosie, I need your assistance. Stay in the manor for a few days, closely monitor Sophia’s movements, and let me know if she leaves. Don’t take any other action.
“Got it, Mr. Walsh.”
“Remember, only observe. She’s evil and might harm you if provoked,” he cautioned in a hushed tone.
A shiver ran down Mrs. Rosie’s spine. She inquired, “Mr. Walsh, what’s going on? By the way, Nina has been missing for a few days, but she didn’t inform the butler about taking time off. I couldn’t reach her on the phone either. Did something happen to her?”
“I’ll tell I Jeremy reminded her. you about Nina at another time. Please do we had wou to
Just as he was about to hang up, Sophia emerged from the room. Dressed in black, which was unlike her usual gaudy fashion, she sneaked out of the manor in the dead of the night. She resembled someone attending a funeral.
Mrs. Rosie jogged along, careful not to be spotted, and watched Sophia from a window. Sophia got into a car and left the grounds of the manor.
She quickly reported, ‘Mr. Walsh, that bitch left home just now! She’s dressed in black from head to toe like a widow. She looks like she’s up to no good”
After receiving Mrs. Rosie’s intel, Jeremy immediately ordered Xavier to track down Sophia.
Sophia had rushed out of Seaview Manor after a warrant had been issued for Jeffrey, and the timing seemed too coincidental.
Jeremy reckoned they might be able to track down Jeffrey by tailing Sophia.
Two days had passed. Jeremy remained in the hospital. He stayed in the room next to Alyssa’s.
Not once did he disturb her. He merely observed her through the glass window on her door after she was sedated and went to sleep, admiring her pale but still beautiful face. He would delicately trace her features on the glass with his finger.
He was content to offer her companionship. If anything, he worried that she might not want him around.
“Jeremy,” Axel called from the doorway of the smoking room.
Jeremy’s fingers trembled. He turned around.
Axel approached him and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him. “I’ll have one.”
Jeremy handed him a cigarette. Axel put it between his l*ps and motioned at Jeremy to light it for him.
Frowning, Jeremy did as asked. He had never performed this favor for anyone. Axel was the first.
Jeremy soon brushed it off because Axel was his ex-brother-in-law. From experience, he knew that arrogance wouldn’t work on the Taylor family. They would only dislike him more.
Axel took a drag and puffed out a perfect ring of smoke. He cast a mocking look at Jeremy. “You exhibit remarkable self-control in the presence of a beautiful woman.
“I’ve noticed you haven’t entered her room once. If I were you, I would. have stormed in, k*ssed her passionately, and had hot S*x.”
He even narrowed his eyes and licked his l*ps suggestively. Jeremy’s hand trembled upon hearing Axel’s bold description.
It seemed like Axel, the crazy one, was comfortable enough around. him to make the embarrassing remarks.
“I’ve been busy looking after Lyse,” Axel said with a serious face.
“I’ll need your help. Keep me updated. I’m going to kill that bastard with my own hands.” With that, he cracked his fingers loudly.
After a brief silence, Jeremy extinguished his cigarette and remarked, ” You don’t have to dirty your hands. I can handle it for you.”
“No. Not you,” Axel abruptly stated.
“At the end of the day, we’re doing this for Lyse. Why can’t I be the one?” Jeremy asked, perplexed.
“If you want to get back with her, you should listen to me and behave,”
Axel muttered.
Staring at his feet, he unfurled his fists and clenched them again with an unreadable look in his eyes.
“I’m good at killing, but you aren’t. Once you have a track record, there will be more uncertainties in the future. I doubt Lyse would want your to kill either.”

Axel stared at Jeremy, dumbstruck.
What the heck? What did Jeremy just call him?
Jeremy pursed his l*ps and clenched his jaw as he fought the rising feeling of shame.
He had never done anything sycophantic before in his entire life. Jeremy considered the seemingly ordinary remark as his cringy attempt to curry favor with Axel.
A heavy air of awkwardness hung between them.
All of a sudden, Axel’s ringtone shattered the uncomfortable silence. He answered, “What’s up?”
“Mr. Axel, Jameson Schmidt wants to meet Ms. Alyssa. We’ve held him off as per your instructions,” a b*dyguard reported.
“Good work! I’ll bump up your bonus later!”
“Thank you, Mr. Axel! You’re incredibly generous. We’ll keep watch by the door. He won’t get through!”
After ending the call, Axel grinned and said, “Hey, come with me.”
“Where to?” Jeremy asked, perplexed
“Since you’ve dubbed me your ‘ex-brother-in-law’, I’ll have a little fun with Jameson for your entertainment. How does that sound?”
Just outside Alyssa’s room, Jameson found himself blocked by Axel’s vigilant guards. He had hurried over upon hearing the news and was astounded to be denied entry.
