Jameson’s pale lips trembled slightly. His anxiety was ripping him apart internally. He wanted to inch closer to her again, but he stopped as she stared him down, wary and distant.
“What happened? Can you tell me? I beg you, please, tell me. Don’t be like that with me.”
Jameson appeared so innocent.
The innocence in Jameson’s eyes felt real.
“Since you want to know, then let me ask you.”
Alyssa took a deep breath. She gritted her teeth and enunciated each word coldly. “You know Inigo, don’t you? I’m sure he is one of your lackeys?”
“Inigo? Who is he?” Jameson looked at her furious face. He was clueless.

You even have allies in the army. Inigo is a Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Army Ground Forces and was in Kontina in the early years. Do you really not know him?” Alyssa crossed her arms and observed him. She was doubtful.
Even her disdainful expression held such beauty for him that it captivated and enchanted him completely.
“Lyse, I do have some network in Kontina, but you villainized me too much. I’m not as powerful as you paint me to be.”
Jameson was like an ant on a hot pan. His eyes were red. “But, if that Inigo guy is causing you trouble and hurting you, I will do what it takes to remove him from the face of the earth.”

“You will not rest in peace if he was left free on the street. ticking time bomb. You’re unsure when he will expose you secrets to the world.”
“Lyse… H-How can you think of me this way?”
Tears welled up in Jameson’s eyes. He bit his lip until it turned white.

Alyssa stared at him. Inexplicable emotions swirled in her lifeless. eyes.
“What happened? Can you tell me, Lyse? What did I do to have caused such a misunderstanding? Even if I were to die, I need to die with proper closure!” Jameson kept asking questions. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Alyssa knew she wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him all along. Her statements were a calculated warning to Jameson, intending to apply pressure. She aimed to induce panic, hoping he might inadvertently reveal something.
She also wanted to use this cruel way to tell him to stop having fantasies of her. They would never be a couple and would no longer be friends.
“Okay, you’re not admitting to knowing Inigo. Fine. How about Miley and Jeremy?”
Alyssa’s shoulders trembled violently from her massive rage. “When you were in Kontina, you wanted them dead for your benefit. Are your planning to let this slip?”
“Lyse, some of the people in the Schmidt Group did do heinous things. to your brother-in-law, Jeremy. But when I found out that Jeremy’s wife was your sister, I immediately ordered them to stop all projects.

“I tried to deal with them but couldn’t completely stop them, especially when they have more secret tricks hidden up their sleeves.”
Jameson’s voice was hoarse as he continued to explain, “Lyse, please believe me! I love you so much. I’ve loved you for 15 years. Why would I risk upsetting you and hurting your family?”
Alyssa only stared at him. A suffocating sense of loneliness sprouted between them.
After a long time, she parted her lips slightly. “Go home. If you don’t, I will.”
As she turned, Jameson suddenly hugged her from the bar He pleaded, “Lyse, don’t leave me.”
“Let go! Don’t touch me!”
Alyssa felt a chill in her heart. She tried her best to break porcupine with its spike up.
Jameson staggered back. His delicate face was stiff as ever. was palpable sadness in his eyes.
“Jameson, I love someone else. I have a boyfriend now. Even if I don you shouldn’t take advantage of me!” Alyssa was repulsed by his touch.
“Is it Jeremy?”
Jameson’s face fell. It was as if his soul was shattered to pieces.
Diy wou vr you you uuuN wycier
“Why not? Jeremy avenged me by risking his life to capture the bad guys. He saved me and Jonah and barely came back from Tsulu alive. I was almost separated from him forever because of Inigo.”
Alyssa thought about how Jeremy went into a bloody battle for her.. He came out tattered and bruised. She instantly choked. “Why would ! not want a man who loves me with his life? Why shouldn’t I love him. back?
“Leave. I’ll investigate this Inigo person thoroughly. I hope you’ve been honest with your words. If you were truly the instigator, Jameson, you know what I’d do. I don’t care who this person is. I will never let an unrighteous person run scot-free.”
Jameson gasped for air as Alyssa was about to disappear from his sight. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“Lyse, my mother is seriously ill.”
Alyssa suddenly stopped in her tracks, but she didn’t turn around.
“She is in the late stages of Alzheimer’s. She’s hardly lucid, and even eating has become a challenge. Her limbs are paralyzed.
“Lately, I’ve set aside all my work to be by her side at the hospital. I’ve managed to find some time in the past two days to address a few crucial matters.
A tear escaped from the corner of Jameson’s eye as his voice resonated with bitter guilt. “Lyse, I’ve been tending to my mother, and in doing so, I’ve neglected you. You’ve gone through so much, but I couldn’t even help you. I’m sorry.
“Even if you doubt me because of this, I still want to apologize for causing you so much trouble. My mother usually doesn’t recognize me, but she always talks about you. She even asked me when she
“I know it’s shameless to ask, but she doesn’t have much time left. Please visit her, I beg you. Talk to her. It will help with her condition.”
Alyssa had her back facing Jameson. She didn’t say a single word.
She had trouble untangling her messy thoughts. As she was about to enter the house, the door opened.
“Mandy?” Alyssa was shocked to see Mandy come out.
Mandy smiled at her. Her face turned glum when she looked at Jameson. “Mr. Jameson, my husband wants to see you. Please.”
“What did you say? Dad wants to see him?”
Alyssa’s eyes widened. She tried her best to calm herself down. “He is sick. What is he trying to do?”
Helplessness swirled in Mandy’s eyes. “Your dad asked for this, so I am merely relaying the message.”
“Thank you for inviting me in personally, Mrs. Taylor.”
Jameson subtly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and a dark glint flickered in his eyes. An unconscious smile graced his lips.
After Jameson entered Heightsnew Villa, Mandy escorted him to the study to meet Winston.
The Taylors usually entertained guests in the guest room or parlor. After all, to a man, the study was as sacred and private as their bedroom.
Apart from Winston’s partner-in-crime, Victor, no one had entered his study all these years.
Jameson was the second person. It was clear as day how much
Alyssa was sitting on the sofa in the living hall. Her eyes were gloomy as a storm.
“Lyse, your dad had been pretty close to Mr. Jameson these days. From what I know, this is not the first time he is meeting Mr. Jameson alone.”
Mandy held Alyssa’s freezing hand. “I think your dad is serious about this.”
“Serious about what?”
