“Put plainly, I’m only here today because of you, no? You’re only seeking me out because you’re out of ideas about defeating Sophia. I’m nothing more than a pawn to you. Do you really think I wouldn’t see through your ploy?”
Jeffrey then stood up from the chair, its legs dragging loudly against the ground.
“Stop wasting your breath here. Why don’t you spend time figuring out how to handle Sophia? Hahaha!”
Neither Jeremy nor Alyssa were in the best mood when they left the room.
Cyrus didn’t press the matter as he could tell the mediation had failed. He could only console them by saying he would continue interrogating Jeffrey.
Jeremy could tell Alyssa wasn’t in a good mood on the car ride back. He gathered her into his arms and tucked his chin on her head.
He then said, “Don’t feel down, Lyse. We still have Nina’s recording. It may not be direct evidence, and it’s been 20 years since it was recorded, but it would still impact Sophia greatly upon its reveal. Her reputation would be ruined, and not even Javier could save her then.”
“Is that all you want, Jeremy?” Alyssa suddenly asked in a cold tone.
A heavy weight pressed on Jeremy’s chest, making his breathing. shallow. His heart pained as if it was being excavated.
Of course not. Jeremy wanted Sophia to die. He wanted to drag her straight down to hell.
“It’s already been 20 years. Even if we had the voice recording, what good would it do?” Jeremy said gently.
Alyssa pressed a hand on his chest right above his heart. Only she could understand the hatred and rage in Jeremy’s heart toward Sophia.
“20 years have passed, making the statute of limitation come into place, rendering evidence useless. You know there’s no way Sophia can be sentenced gravely without direct evidence. How can just her ruined reputation and being hated by Javier be enough? How?” Alyssa
“Lyse…” Jeremy’s eyes were wet. His voice was raspy from having to suppress the emotion he felt.
“This is our only chance to make Sophia’s life a living hell, to never give her a chance to redeem herself. We need to use Nina’s death and Jeffrey’s confession to establish her as a cold-blooded murderer!” Alyssa said.
Anger flitted in her eyes as she continued, “If it weren’t for Nina, the truth about your mother’s death would’ve been lost forever. Nina got. this chance for us at the cost of her own life, so we need to make use. of it. We need to make Jeffrey tell us the truth no matter what!”
“Do you think Jeffrey would come clean? He was so obstinate earlier,
Jeremy asked sullenly.
“He will. Believe me. I could tell that he wavered just the slightest earlier. Why else would he just sit there and listen to us? He wouldn’t have wanted to see us in the first place,” Alyssa said, determined.
Jeremy nodded lightly in agreement.
“Jeffrey just doesn’t trust me right now. Plus, his days in lock-up are still bearable, so there’s no need to take the risk of cooperating with. me,” Alyssa explained.
“Bearable?” Jeremy questioned as an alarming ferocity appeared in his eyes. “He’ll soon come to realize that the only chance for survival is to cooperate with us, even if his continued existence is only temporary.”
At this moment, Jeremy’s phone rang. It was Xavier calling in.
“Mr. Walsh, everything is ready. Tonight at 7:00 pm, prime time, all the news stations will report the news of Jeffrey’s arrest. I guarantee Sophia will see it.”
“Good.”
Jeremy smiled in satisfaction. “After that, keep an eye on Sophia and the situation in the prison. If there’s any movement, contact me and Alyssa immediately.”
“Yes, Mr. Walsh.”
Xavier hesitated for a moment, then quickly added, “Congratulations, Mr. Walsh, on reconciling with Madam. I hope you won’t make her angry again. Care for her with all you can. Make up for the three years you owe her.”
“You-“
Before Jeremy could respond, Xavier quickly hung up.
Jeremy raised an eyebrow. That brat Xavier had grown some guts. Hel actually dared to hang up on Jeremy.
Also, what was Xavier babbling about earlier? Was he lecturing Jeremy on how to do things?
Alyssa cleared her throat as she blushed in embarrassment. “I didn’t intentionally eavesdrop. Your secretary’s voice is too loud.”
“I have no secrets from you. You can listen to anything you want.”
Smiling, Jeremy said in a hoarse and indulgent voice, “Next time, I’ll just put it on speakerphone and let him greet my wife.”
“No thanks. Let’s give each other some personal space.”
Alyssa’s gaze shifted, and she asked with a hint of annoyance, “And who’s your wife? I only have a divorce certificate, not a marriage certificate.”
“Who else could it be besides you?”
Jeremy took her hand, lowered his eyes, and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. His gaze was restrained and affectionate. “As long as you want to, I can hold your hand and grow old together with you at any time.”
“Tsk! Who wants that?”
As he gently held her hand, Alyssa felt like he had captured her heart. Even her ears gradually turned red.
Jeremy’s eyes deepened with desire. Unsatisfied with just holding her, he sealed her lips with a passionate kiss. He savored every taste emanating from her tongue.
Alyssa was not a woman driven by lust, but every time she had intimate contact with Jeremy, she couldn’t resist the stirring emotions.
Her eyes turned misty, and her nose carried tiny beads of sweat. Her whole body softened, and all her senses closed in.
Noticing Jeremy becoming more and more brazen, Alyssa suddenly pressed down his hand, which was exploring under her dress. It felt like touching a scalding hot iron.
“Did you instruct Xavier to contact the media and release the news of Jeffrey’s arrest to provoke Sophia?”
“You’re quite smart.” Squinting his eyes, Jeremy rubbed her smooth skin with the palm of his hand.
“Are you so sure that Sophia will fall for your plan? What if she stays com una vocamu unyumy: Aiyoou rocicomico by ma Ledviny. Her hands quivered as they climbed onto his broad shoulders.
“Don’t let any possibility slip by. Seize every opportunity. This is what you’ve taught me, Lyse.” Jeremy’s voice was hoarse and charming.
“Then… I think I can help you add some more hot scoop.” Alyssa’s voice was soft.
She hooked her fingers at his lower jaw, smiling like a cunning little fox.
Seeing that, Jeremy knew that she had another idea.
That night at 7:00 pm, all the news channels reported the news of the shooting incident. If it wasn’t the first piece of news, it was still the second.
The footage of Jeffrey’s arrest was exposed. In the video provided by Jeremy to the media, Jeffrey’s face was not even blurred. It was boldly presented to the public.
Simultaneously, the news of the innocent girl who lost her life in the shooting spread like wildfire, causing a public outcry.
Citizens flooded the comment sections on the TV station’s official website and Twitter, condemning Jeffrey’s heinous actions.
“Solana City is known as the safest city in the country, but a shooting incident actually happened! It’s surreal!”
“This Jeffrey Snyder is heartless! Ruthless! Worse thal! I hope the law severely punishes this villain and brings innocent girl. Don’t disappoint us.”
“Usually, in the news, the photos of victims are exposed, whi faces of criminals are often blurred. That’s just weird! This tin media did a great job.
“We should all see the disgusting face of this creature, who doesn’t deserve to be called a human being! Even if he hasn’t been sentenced to death, let him experience social death first!”
‘Poor little girl, she died at such a young age… It really makes me want to cry.”
“Now that the murderer is brought to justice, the girl’s spirit in heaven. should find solace.”
Originally, public opinion was united in condemning Jeffrey.
However, at this moment, a few comments quietly slipped into the discussion, causing some chain reactions.
“Do you know who this Jeffrey is?”
Everyone was curious.
“According to insiders, Jeffrey was Sophia Kirkman’s bodyguard for many years, and the Walsh family was aware of it.”
“What? Sophia Kirkman’s bodyguard?”
“I also heard that Jeffrey has a complex background. He used to be a mercenary in Tsulu, killing people. But when he started working for Sophia, his past was whitewashed.
