“Mr. Javier, I’ve just gotten someone to turn the screen off. But I heard that someone from the Schmidt family is in the way. They are not letting anyone from the Walsh Group into the control room.
“It seems like … this was a setup, including the cops that came. They were in cahoots from the beginning,” Rory whispered by Javier’s side.
“In cahoots with who?” Javier asked with a sense of urgency in his voice.
“About that… I’m still not sure. However, I will find out all the details soon.”
Javier’s head was spinning, though, amidst the chaos, he was suddenly reminded of something that happened 20 years ago.
It was a memory from TS Network’s Anniversary Gala. There was once when Lyla, too, lost control of her bladder in public. On top of that, it was aired live!
At that time, both he and Winston were at the scene. They were there as special guests and had witnessed it all.
That year, Lyla ended up in a terrible position because of illegal drug use. The public bore witness to that at that time.
It was said that she ended up having severe depression. She even a few allemps in Lunity no WII III
In the end, it was Winston who stayed and cared for her by her side. He even brought her overseas for treatment. Only then was she able to overcome her trauma and gradually recover.
Fast forward to today, the same nightmare from 20 years ago just happened to Sophia in public.
Javier couldn’t help but think that this looked like a well-designed revenge plot!
Hence, with a mad and resentful look, he glanced over to Alyssa naturally.
Coincidentally, she and Jeremy were looking deeply into each other’s eyes and smiling sweetly at one another.
Her beautiful yet crafty almond-shaped eyes and the way the corner of her lips were turned made it obvious. She had the satisfied smile of a victor on her face.
To him, it was a tremendous humiliation and an eyesore!
Alyssa narrowed her bright eyes. “The people you gathered arrived so punctually,” Alyssa said as she gave Jeremy a little nudge with her shoulder.
Jeremy took the nudge as a heartwarming one. He looked down at her and chuckled warmly, “I had a good teacher.”
Upon hearing his flirtatious statement, Alyssa couldn’t help but bashfully.
“If you hadn’t done such a great job with the initial preparations, th arrest wouldn’t have had such an unexpectedly appalling effect.”
“You have contributed the most. I was just an assistant,” said Jeremy to Alyssa. The look in his eyes was gentle, and his heart was racing.
He wasn’t sure how else he could show his gratitude. Tonight, he would have to show his love to her with all his might. No, he had to. love her till death and cherish her forever.
“However, earlier, I heard the cops saying that they were arresting her due to drug violations. Why wasn’t it…” Alyssa couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
With a deep gaze, Jeremy said, “I will tell you my plan in detail when we get home tonight.”
Other than Jeremy and Alyssa, everyone else was caught off guard by Sophia’s arrest.
Even Jonah was floored. He glanced over at Alyssa with astonishment. She returned his look with a cheeky wink.
Winston wrapped his arms tight around Lyla, who was shivering in her small frame. He asked softly, “Did that shake you up?”
Although it was satisfying to watch Sophia receive the consequences of her bad karma, he was worried that Lyla would be reminded of her traumatic experience.
“I’m not as weak as you think I am, Winston. Plus, I’ve waited too long for this day.”
Lyla pulled back from Winston’s arms and walked straight to the front of Alyssa. Her eyes were bright, and her voice was filled with gratitude.
“Thank you, Lyse.”
Alyssa blinked and pretended not to understand. “What do you mean, Lyla? I didn’t do anything.”
“I know … I understand…”
With tears in her eyes, Lyla held Alyssa’s hand tightly in hers. “Lyse, I owe it to you forever. This favor… There’s no way for me to return it. But I will repay what I can for as long as I live.”
“That was her bad karma. Sophia ended up like this today because the heavens were punishing her. Don’t overthink it, Lyla. When you return, get a good night’s rest, and bring Taty for a holiday overseas. I will send someone to keep you posted on the situation here.
“I’m guessing that there will be yet another good show soon. Sophia’s bad luck is far from over.
Even though Alyssa denied any involvement, her response was cryptic.
Jameson was standing in an inconspicuous corner. He had a dim look in his eyes as he pushed his glasses up.
“What do you think about what happened?”
Carl took a quick look around, then answered in a low voice, “It must have been a setup conspired by Ms. Alyssa and Jeremy. They have a deep-seated hatred against Sophia, so they will surely drive her to her death.”
“How is Inigo at the moment?” Jameson diverted the topic out of the blue.
“Our people have been surveilling him closely. He is still in Solana City.
Jameson let out an evil chuckle. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. “I think it is time for him to leave Solana City,” he said.
Carl was taken aback. “But, he made so many ridiculous demands from you previously. He asked for money, even a private plane. Didn’t you say to keep it on hold for the moment? Why are you suddenly …”
“Give him whatever he wants. Make him satisfied. Just so long as he leaves Solana City,” Jameson said in a determined voice. He was not going to take “no” for an answer.
It all became clear to Carl in a blink. Through gritted teeth, he nodded and replied, “I get what you mean now, Mr. Schmidt.”
The big screen in the middle of the racecourse turned off. Yet, the crowd’s excited chatter hadn’t stopped.
Cornelius took advantage of the chaotic situation and shot Preston a look.
While no one was paying attention, Preston walked to the front of Ezzo and Zeke.
With a smile on his face, he said, “You have both come here from a long way away. As the host, we want to give you a good welcome. Additionally, I guarantee that you will both return with full satisfaction. It will be a worthwhile trip.
“Moreover, now that such a darned incident happened, I suppose Mr. Victor and Mr. Javier have their hands full. I’m afraid that they won’t be able to attend to you both. How about you come with us and get some rest?”
While Ezzo was hesitating, Jeremy interjected in a deep and fierce voice, “Mr. Cornelius and Preston, are you both considering taking the opportunity to escape?
“The Harper Group is infamous out there. As it turns out, it seems like you are all just cowards who aren’t willing to take responsibility.”
“Cowards? Who are you referring to, Jeremy? Explain yourself!” Preston shouted. His face turned red with fury.
Everyone was shocked. They were gobsmacked!
It was one thing for Winston to tell Sophia off. For one, she did indeed deserve the scolding. Additionally, he was pretty much on the same level as Javier, although some would say he was a big shot with a net worth higher than the Walsh Group
He was getting anxious. He even rebuked Javier. Who would dare to stop him?
But, as someone younger, Jeremy didn’t have the guts to do so. If he did, how would he continue being friendly with the Harpers? Wouldn’t he be afraid that the Harpers would start plotting against him?
Alyssa looked up and studied Jeremy. Her heart rate increased, and it beat faster and faster.
Deep down, she had made up her mind. Even if Jeremy were to offend the entire Solana City, she would stay by his side. She would ride the waves together with him.
With her support, who else would be so dense to lay a finger on her man?
Cornelius’ eyes turned dark from his anger. He used his walking stick
“Mr. Javier! Aren’t you going to pull in the reins on your son? Are you just going to allow him to spew nonsense and be disrespectful to his elders?”
With his entire being, Jeremy gave off an air of mercilessness and intimidation. He turned his thin lips into a smirk. “You are only an elder of mine if you act like one.
“If you don’t know how to distinguish between right and wrong and even try to defend a murderer, don’t blame me for not acknowledging you.”.
Javier glared at Jeremy. “Shut up, Jeremy!”
Jeremy completely disregarded him. He turned his dark and terrifying gaze toward Zoe and continued, “Today, there are only two options for you-you can either sort things out by yourself, or I can get rid of this person on your behalf, according to my own means.”
Zoe was scared out of her mind. Her expensive dress was almost soaked in her cold sweat!
Why was he looking at her? Was he suspicious of her?
