“Take a deep breath. Listen to me. Deep breath…”
He guided her with his soft voice while gently patting her quivering back.
Alyssa kept her eyes tightly closed and her fists clenched. In his embrace, she shook and gasped for breath. It was a sight that would tug at anyone’s heartstrings.
Cyrus watched their interaction without intervening. He just let out a faint sigh. Whether he liked it or not, if it hadn’t been for Jeremy, he really wouldn’t know how to calm Lyse down.
There seemed to be an inseparable bond between the two.
But if Jeremy’s way could help Alyssa feel a little better, Cyrus was willing to give the bastard a chance.
After a while, Alyssa gradually calmed down. Realizing that she was leaning on Jeremy, she felt flustered and confused. She quickly pushed him away.
Jeremy froze for a moment and blinked.
“Thank you,” Alyssa murmured without daring to look at him.
“You’re welcome,” he replied softly.
She noticed that Jeremy’s suit had gotten wet from her tears. Feeling guilty, she hurriedly reached out and briskly wiped his shoulder a couple of times.
Jeremy didn’t know how to react.
“Ahem… Before you leave, give me your suit. I’ll find someone to dry clean it and have it sent back to you.”
“Why do you want to clean it?”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, smiling brightly. His smile pierced her heart. “There’s no need to wash it. It’s fine just like this.”
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Alyssa stared at Jeremy’s face. The gentle smile on his face at this moment was something she had never seen before.
She cleared her throat, hastily averting her gaze. She dared not lock eyes with his dazzling ones, afraid that another glance might reveal. some unspeakable secret.
She noticed that he had indeed changed a lot.
The previous Jeremy had been cold, distant, and aloof. On the contrary, the current Jeremy seemed to have melted and surrounded her with a reassuring sense of security.
“Ahem… Um …”
Cyrus, who was single and allergic to romance, couldn’t stand it any longer. So he chimed in, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
“It’s just a suit. Why wash it? Our family has a big business. We can afford to compensate for a piece of clothing. Lyse, just buy a new one for Mr. Walsh. I’ll pay for it.”
“Thank you, Chief Cyrus,” Jeremy said with a slight smile, appearing calm.
“Cyrus, are you sure you want to compensate for it?”
Alyssa’s emotions had eased a bit by now, and she raised a teasing eyebrow.
“If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Walsh’s suit is customized from a royal- exclusive brand in Vitelia. Ordinary people can’t even buy it with money.
“Even if they could, I’m afraid your to even buy one sleeve for Mr. Walsh.”
Damn! So expensive?
Saldly
Cyrus’s face turned ugly. He disregarded his identity as the son of a prestigious family and shouted, “I won’t compensate anymore! Forget what I just said.”
Since Alyssa grew up with him, he wasn’t afraid of embarrassing. himself.
Jeremy smiled again, and his gentle gaze remained fixed on Alyssa. ” You’re indeed a genius designer, Sharon. You have sharp eyes.
Hearing that, Alyssa looked at him in amazement. “When did you find out?”
“At Madam Lyla’s birthday party, when she appeared in the beautiful. black evening gown, I had a guess.
“No, actually, I should have guessed when I saw you working on clothes at Ms. Emerson’s studio,” Jeremy said dreamily.
Alyssa pressed her red l*ps together, blushing.
In an instant, a complex mix of emotions surged within her, creating an indescribable feeling.
Jeremy suddenly remembered the worn-out suit that had been meticulously preserved in his closet. It was the suit Alyssa had crafted for him after half a month of hard work when they had been. married.
Every stitch, every thread, represented her affection for him.
Sadly, he might never receive such treatment again. He should have known it back then. He should have understood how
However, he had been blinded at the time, unable to see any of these.
When Jeremy saw Alyssa’s pitiful expression, he felt this chest ache, making his already weak heart soften even more.
He owed her too much.
Even if he spent a lifetime making amends, he wasn’t sure if it would be enough.
“Lyse, is there any important evidence on Ms. Nina’s phone? Is that why you’re so eager to repair it?” Cyrus asked curiously.
Alyssa nodded melancholically. “She whispered something to me before she passed away, telling me that she had crucial evidence of Sophia’s crime on her phone.”
“It was the last thing she said to me,
Upon hearing that, all three of them fell into a heavy silence, lowering their heads.
The poor woman. In her last moments, she hadn’t thought about her life but about how to reveal the truth and let justice prevail.
Cyrus frowned, thinking out loud, “So Nina’s death should also be related to her knowledge of this secret.”
“Yes. Otherwise, the cunning and careful Madam Sophia wouldn’t suddenly lose her head and send an assassin to kill Nina, trying to silence her.” Alyssa clenched her fists in anger, her eyes reddening.
“She has quite the guts. She actually dared to target you!”
Recalling what happened to Alyssa that night, Cyrus couldn’t contain his anger and slammed the table.
“You have five brothers and a father who’s filthy rich. How dare she go after you? Even without Dad’s help, any one of us could kill her without her knowing.”
At this moment, Jeremy’s eyes turned cold.
What had happened to make Sophia act so recklessly?
Alyssa smirked, and her expression was extremely cold. “Silencing Nina by killing her was Sophia’s idea, no doubt. But sending someone after me might not necessarily be her plan.
“I think it’s very likely that Betty faked the order or took the opportunity to go after me. After all, given Sophia’s cunning and calculative behavior, she wouldn’t act so recklessly. This looks more That made sense.
Jeremy couldn’t help but nod slightly
“What the F***? Isn’t Betty Sophia’s daughter? Well, it seems like the mother and daughter are colluding. They can have a family reunion in prison!” Cyrus cursed loudly, wishing he could twist their heads off.
Alyssa took a deep breath, her heavy gaze shifting to Jeremy.
Sophia’s secret. She… killed Madam Anne… the evidence the phone…
Jeremy was perplexed by her intense gaze. He didn’t quite understand what it meant.
Alyssa turned on Nina’s phone, fl*pping through the entire photo album without finding anything unusual.
She thought that if it was evidence, it should be a recording or something similar, so she opened the voice recording app.
Sure enough, there was a voice recording.
Alyssa lowered her eyes and tapped open the recording.
The recording quality wasn’t good. The volume was low, and the voice was muffled, as it had been recorded secretly in a closed. environment.
