10 to 15 minutes, rendering the victim entirely vulnerable.”
Jonah’s heart tightened upon hearing the explanation while Alyssal and Jeremy exchanged uneasy glances.
“You imbecile! How dare you fucking slander me! I will kill you!” David seethed, glaring at his secretary.
If not for Jeremy restraining him, he would have lunged at the betrayer.
“Taty, did you experience any of that after consuming the drug they gave you?” Sean nervously grasped Tatiana’s shoulder, concerned about potential harm.
Tatiana’s head throbbed, her tear-filled eyes vacant. “I didn’t. I only drank a cup of juice with Alyssa. I-I never touched anything else.”
David laughed maniacally, pounding the floor with his fists. “Do you have any proof? I bet you don’t. I told you, Tatiana seduced me! She’s the one at fault!”
Sean jolted upright like a lit bomb, ready to charge forward. Despite his urge to charge forward, Tatiana clutched his hand so tightly that her fingers turned pale. “Don’t, Sean.”
David remained a Schmidt, and Tatiana had the Taylor family’s backing. What did Sean have? Tatiana couldn’t let Sean get too entangled for her.
However, before Sean could make a move, Alyssa swiftly stepped in and kicked David in the face.
Alyssa’s kick knocked out two of David’s front teeth, leaving his mouth bleeding and a sizable hole in his upper gums.
Jeremy gasped silently, swallowing hard. Reflecting on his childhood memories of a movie called “The
Henpecked Husband”, Alyssa’s beauty was on par with the female lead, though the female lead was never as brutal.
As Jeremy pondered this, his eyes narrowed, and a smile graced his lips. Alyssa’s unpredictable and straightforward nature struck him as adorable.
“Hey, your sister is so scary. She gets physical the moment she hears something displeasing. Her temper is really something else.”
Julien’s hair stood on end as he witnessed how aggressive Alyssa was. He tilted his body, and his arm brushed against Jonah’s side. Hey, shouldn’t you be worried for your brother-in-law? Maybe invest in a better life insurance policy for Mr. Walsh on their wedding day. Take good care of him.”
“Are you bored, Dr. Lovelace? Why are you caring about something that is none of your business?”
Jonah sarcastically mocked. Closing the space vOLYOGI
“Alyssa, you’re just venting your anger recklessly.”
David ground his bloody teeth, struggling to speak clearly. “You have no proof… You can’t do anything… But you and Jeremy had beaten me up good. I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail! Your name will be tarnished!”
“Is this all you’ve got? Do you think I will be scared? Did you think I’m that timid?”
Alyssa was sassy and arrogant. She curled her red lips into a cold smile as she cracked her knuckles, making a crisp sound. “If you make a noise again, I’ll pull all your teeth out. If you don’t believe me, try me.”
David didn’t scare her. On the contrary, David was so terrified and immediately shut up.

“Alyssa… Jeremy … You’ve done a lot for me…” Tatiana murmured weakly, leaning into Sean’s arms.
Tearfully, she shook her head. That’s enough for today. I think it’s enough…”
Timid as she was, Tatiana was more concerned about not dragging her beloved family into more trouble
After all, she had to marry into the Schmidt family. She had given up for the most part a long time ago.
Even if a knife were to stab at her, she wouldn’t complain.
She couldn’t change her fate.
“Taty, what are you talking about? Someone had mistreated you. This is a serious matter for me and your brother-in-law. How can we let this go?”
Jeremy was breathing heavily. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, “Taty, over our dead body!”
The mention of “brother-in-law” stirred a tumultuous emotion in his heart.
He loved Alyssa dearly and treated Alyssa’s sister as his own. He couldn’t forgive himself if he stayed on the sidelines. He vowed not to rest until his last dying breath!
A warm feeling surged in Alyssa’s heart when she heard Jeremy refer to Tatiana as Taty. She and Sean turned to Jeremy gratefully.
The situation reached a stalemate, and as David gloated, Julien. calmly approached Tatiana. He softly asked, “Ms. Tatiana, I know you’re not in a good state right now, but to prove your innocence, I need you to think hard and recall what happened.
“What happened before you lost consciousness? Is there anything that you missed out on? Don’t leave out any detail, no matter how insignificant.”
Jonah had never seen Julien so gentle before. When Julien had asked for a reward from him, he was like a male version of Alyssa-e coy, with a hint of anger. It was a rare and refreshing sight that a soft and fuzzy feeling in Jonah’s chest.
Tatiana drew a deep breath. Moments later, she frowned when she recalled a waiter who had bumped into her. “When I left the hall, I bumped into a waiter. That was when I felt a sting on my arm like a bee sting. It hurts a little, but only for a few seconds.”
David’s secretary was taken aback. He had no idea about the waiter at all. Only David appeared stunned, and his eyes darted in guilt..
Alyssa’s chest tightened. She quickly checked Tatiana’s slender arm and noticed a tiny, reddened puncture on her pale skin.
“Damn it!” she hissed, feeling sorry for Tatiana. “What did you inject into Tatiana, you bastard?”
“I told you, it was she who seduced me in the first place. I have nothing to do with this!” David insisted, even though his heart was pumping wildly.
In the beginning, he was confident that Alyssa and everyone else no evidence against her. However, after the androgynous doctor showed up and dissected the facts, they seemed one step closer t the truth.
Rage burned in Jeremy’s eyes. He grabbed David by the hair and lifted him, making David hiss in pain.
He warned, “If you injected something foul into my sister, I will do the same to you.”
Frowning, Julien performed a checkup on Tatiana and examined her eyes. Soon, he sighed in relief. “It doesn’t seem serious. She has a high heart rate and warm body temperature, both signs of anesthetics overdose.
“When I was in Mosgravia, I learned that there was a new form of anesthetics with stronger effects that could be injected into the body.
checkup regardless.
“Thank you, Dr. Lovelace,” Sean thanked him between sobs.
“Don’t mention it. Tatiana is Jonah’s sister. Of course, I’ll have to do my best to help her.” Then, Julien cast an affectionate and suggestive glance at Jonah, remarking, “Who knows? We might be family one day.”
Alyssa and the others were thinking hard about how best to punish. David, and they were oblivious to
Julien’s flirting. Jonah stared at hist feet and cleared his throat embarrassedly.
Julien grinned happily and said, “Now, all we need is to perform a blood test on Tatiana. We’ll know if someone has forced themselves on her. Someone’s wrongdoing is going to be revealed soon.”
“What do I have to do with Tatiana getting an aphrodisiac injection?” thundered David. “You’re slandering me! Alyssa, I bet you’re framing me because you hate seeing your sister in an arranged marria ith the Schmidts. You’re trying to get back at us! What an evil bi are.”
“Hm? When did I specify that Tatiana received a shot of aphrodisia Julien chuckled, feeling a little sympathetic toward the dumb and e David. “I mentioned the side effects of anesthetics overdose, but have never once talked about aphrodisiacs. Besides, I never claimed that someone had made an injection. How are you so sure about all the details?”
“You-” David nearly fainted from the anger.
Suddenly, they were interrupted by a phone call to Jeremy.
“Landon, how’s everything?”
“Jeremy, you’re amazingly right!” Landon yelped in excitement. “I

castle. My men found a suspicious waiter who attempted an escape, and we looked into his background. Guess what? He’s a Schmidt bodyguard disguised as a waiter!”
The secretary stared agape at David. He couldn’t believe that David had something up his sleeve. He knew nothing about it, even as David’s right-hand man. The Schmidts were indeed sly like they were.
rumored to be.
Jeremy issued a casual threat, “Sorry for the trouble, Landon. Please get the man under arrest and send him to the police after the event.”
“No problem! But Jeremy, I think you should keep him as your personal punching bag instead of handing him over to the police. Your and Lyse can practice boxing when you’re free. Isn’t that useful?”
Landon chuckled at the wretched idea.
Alyssa was speechless at Landon’s suggestion. Similarly, Jeremy replied, “Mr. Harper, you’re a grown man. Please behave like one.”
After Jeremy hung up, David nearly peed himself out of fear.
