“She’s fine now. The cut on her arm has healed. She doesn’t have any other injuries, but she needs time to recover emotionally. She needs to be alone for a while,” Axel replied, sighing.
Upon being reminded of Alyssa’s injury, Jeremy felt overwhelmed by bitterness. In the year after their divorce, she had always gotten injured and never enjoyed much peace in her life.
He blamed himself for being useless. Regardless of his willingness to sacrifice everything for her, he had repeatedly failed to protect
“I heard about Nina,” Sean muttered, his heart breaking at the memor of the young lady who had taken a bullet for Alyssa.
He inquired, “Has anyone tracked down that bastard yet?”
“It’s only a matter of time. I’m monitoring Sophia and Betty’s movements. Sophia just left home tonight, and she’ll likely meet Jeffrey Snyder. “My men might come back with updates soon,” Jeremy informed Sean with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.
He added, “Don’t worry. I want that guy dead more than anyone else. I’ve looked into his background. He’s claimed more lives than Nina’s.
He’s a devil.
The only reason he hasn’t been arrested is because Sophia helped him get a new identity.”
Axel clicked his tongue and teased Jeremy, “Your stepmom is a
Walsh Group seems more like a gang at this point.”
Sean shook his head. “Yeah. That company is a lion’s den-no, a nest of vipers!”
Jeremy was at a loss for words.
Axel continued jeering, “I’ll have to thank Madam Sophia when I meet. her in person.”
Jeremy was perplexed. “Thank her? Why?”
“I’ll have to thank her for not killing Lyse in the three years she lived at your place.”
Once again, Axel’s sharp tongue left Jeremy speechless. In school, Axel had been even more reserved and withdrawn than him. It seemed Axel had hidden his true nature well.
Alyssa’s door suddenly swung open, startling the three men. She changed into a black pantsuit and didn’t have any makeup on. Yet s still radiated beauty.
She stood there with a solemn expression, as if silently mourning Nina’s death.
“Lyse?”
“Ms. Alyssa!”
Jeremy’s heart raced, and his ears reddened as he gazed at Alyssa. He had wanted to call her name but hesitated.
He’d had a good reason to approach her that night due to the urgency of the situation, but he didn’t have any justification to approach her at this moment.
“Sean, are you okay?” Alyssa choked up when she saw Sean’s left arm.
“I’m perfectly fine, Ms. Alyssa.” Sean had wanted to lift his arm to show he was fine, but he failed.
He offered an awkward smile. “Don’t worry! I’ll be back to work as usual once I’ve fully recovered.”
“When you recover, quit working as my secretary.”
“Ms. Alyssa… Don’t you want me anymore?”
Sean’s l*ps trembled as he dragged his b*dy unsteadily in front of Alyssa.
“Did I hold you back? I admit that I’m not skilled, but please give me. another chance. I’ll definitely hone my combat skills. I can protect. you.”
Jeremy frowned, feeling a mixture of jealousy and sadness. Alyssal never lacked protectors. What he had done for her was hardly worth. mentioning.
“Sean, you’ve misunderstood.” Alyssa smiled bitterly.
“From now on, I’ll join KS Group and take over Jonah’s position. Having you as my secretary by my side is underutilizing your talents.
“I want you to become the head of the legal department at the company. Then, we can make the most use of your expertise. There, you can still help me and also assist my father. Isn’t that good?”
If a normal person had received such news, they would probably be ecstatic.
However, Sean’s face was mournful. He looked like a homeless dog. who had been kicked out by its owner. In his eyes, Alyssa simply didn’t want him anymore.
She never knew what he truly wanted. What he wanted was to stay by her side for a long time.
But after the most recent events, Sean didn’t think he could protect Alyssa anymore. The person who could protect her was right in front of her.
he looked at Jeremy.
At this moment, Jeremy was staring intently at Alyssa. Whenever and wherever, as long as Alyssa was there, Jeremy’s eyes only saw her.
“Whatever it is, let your injuries heal first. That’s more important than. anything.”
Alyssa composed herself, finally revealing a radiant smile. “You must stay healthy and come back in one piece. KS Group doesn’t keep idle. people.”
Sean could tell that Alyssa had made up her mind, so he could only nod heavily.
“Axel, is Nina’s b*dy in the morgue now?” Alyssa turned to Axel, her voice hoarse.
“Yes. We informed her grandmother yesterday, and she has come to Solana City to claim the b*dy,” Axel replied with a somber expression. She begged us to seek justice for Nina.”
“Nina’s funeral has to be grand. The follow-up work to console her family needs to be done well. Her grandmother won’t ask for much, but we need to consider everything and fulfill all her needs.”
“I know, Lyse. You can rest assured.”
Axel looked at her in surprise. “Why are you dressed like this? Are you planning to leave the hospital? Jonah strictly forbade me from letting you leave. If you leave, he’ll probably beat me up.”
“Lying here every day, watching the sunrise and sunset outside the window, and being negative is meaningless.”
Alyssa suddenly changed the subject. “Has Nina’s phone been repaired?”
Axel gave her a puzzled look at the sudden change in topic. “What? Oh, it’s been repaired, but I didn’t do it.”
“Then who?” Alyssa frowned.
“Cyrus. Nina’s phone is evidence of her death, so it needed to be sent to the forensic department for repairs and examination. But he told me last night that it was almost repaired, and the results should be out today.”
Alyssa’s gaze turned cold as she walked to Jeremy. She lifted her eyes. to meet his gaze.
Jeremy’s chest clenched under the intensity of her gaze. His fingers curled into his palm, clenching tightly.
“Jeremy, come with me to the police station.”
Alyssa’s eyes exuded a heavy sense of determination, as if she could through his soul, making it impossible for him to resist.
“Both of us need to cooperate with the investigation. Besides, there’s something important you need to know.”
Jameson returned to The Millennium.
Upon hearing the news, Amber waited for him in the room.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, making the luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling shake.
Seeing Jameson enter with fury, Amber trembled in fear and almost cowered. She didn’t dare have direct eye contact with him.
Likewise, Carl, who was standing behind her, wore a panicked expression. He didn’t dare move or say a word.
Having been with Jameson in Kontina, he knew what Jameson looked like when he was furious all to well. Someone was going to die today.
“M-Mr. Schmidt,” Amber stammered, her beautiful face displaying panic.
No matter how similar she looked to Alyssa, Amber could never replicate even a fraction of Alyssa’s grace in her actions.
“Mr. Schmidt… Calm down. Maybe things aren’t as you think. Perhaps.
Before Amber could finish her sentence, Jameson walked to the coffee table and grabbed a crystal ashtray. As he glared at her with crimson eyes, he hurled it in her direction.
“Ah!” Amber screamed, her arms instinctively covering her head.
