Alyssa fixed a threatening glare on him. “Now that we have a witness and solid evidence, you should explain yourself to the police and my dad.”
At this moment, David felt as if he was struck by lightning. He neared a breakdown, not because he feared the police-no one from the distinguished families had any regard for the police-but because he was afraid of Winston Taylor.
The Schmidts might be family friends with the Taylors, but David had long heard from Victor about
Winston’s ruthlessness and his fierce loyalty to his family. Given that David’s evil deed had been exposed, complete with evidence, he feared for his life when Winston learned about it.
Not only that, the incident would mark the end of the relationship between the Schmidts and the
Taylors, and for that, David might fall out of favor with Victor for good.
David scrambled toward Alyssa and pleaded at her in tears, “M-Ms. Alyssa, it’s my fault! I did something terrible because I wanted to win against Jimmy. It’s all my fault. Please spare me for our fathers’ sake -they’re sworn brothers, aren’t they?”
She merely snickered, remaining unfazed by his crocodile tears.” Repent for your sins in prison. Before that, I believe my dad and my brothers would teach you a lesson.”
To protect himself, David blurted out the humiliating truth, “B-But I did ruru

Everyone was left in shock. Tatiana’s eyes wavered, and Sean quickly held her cold hand.
“I guess it happened because I made too many medical injections to save my leg. I couldn’t get hard, even in front of a beauty like Tatiana. Since the plan didn’t work, I took off her clothes to make it look like. we slept together.”
“You did that to force Mr. Taylor to marry Taty to you.” Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “David Schmidt, do you really think that’s going to make you look better? Even if you did not force yourself on her, you had the intention to do so!”
Since Alyssa was the surgeon for David, she believed he was likely speaking the truth. She burst out laughing. “Haha! That’s karma in action. An animal like you deserves to be impotent!
“Even if you did not assault her, you’ve caused her trauma. You might not have raped her, but you saw her naked. I’ll consider sparing you if you gouge your eyes out to make up for that.”
David cowered and flinched. He was already a cripple. There was no way he would go blind to atone for his sin.
Jonah and Jeremy’s phones rang at the same time. Their fathers had called them, and they picked up promptly. Winston and Javier told their sons to get back to the hall as soon as possible for the most important event. The Jesseltons were about to announce their business partner.
“Lyse, you should go with Jeremy,” Jonah suggested as he glared at the two useless men on the floor.
“Julien and I will take care of these losers. Leave Taty and Sean in our good hands.”
“Jonah, I’ll be back soon!” Alyssa prepared to leave, but Tatiana grabbed her arm with teary eyes. Tatiana begged, “Lyse, could you
“Taty?”
Tatiana trembled as she sobbed “Don’t tell him. He’s getting old, and he’s not in the best of health. I’m worried that
“Don’t worry. I know how to deal with it Alyssa gave her a reassuring squeeze in the hand and held back tears. Tll do anything it takes to free you from the Schmidts
The ballroom dance had ended by then. The spotlight shifted to the center of the hall as all attention turned to the Jesseltons. The Walsh’s and the Harpers nervously stared at Ezzo.
The Harpers hoped to resolve their current crisis by winning the project with the Jesseltons. Meanwhile, the Walsh’s wanted the project to boost their performance and as a middle finger to the Taylors after what Alyssa had done to them.
Among all the competitors, Winston appeared the most uninterested. He seemed more concerned by the whereabouts of his daughter. Where did Alyssa go? He wondered if she was snogging Jeremy in a quiet corner and blushed at the indecent scenes that flashed across his mind.
He wasn’t a narrow-minded old fart. Besides, Alyssa was once married to Jeremy, and the two had cohabitated for quite a whi Solana City. It was a miracle she hadn’t gotten pregnant by him. he would rather they pick a more suitable occasion for intimacy.
Soon, he realized that his obedient Tatiana was also nowhere to be seen. As he blankly scanned the surroundings, Alyssa and Jeremy showed up before him.
“Dad.”
“Mr. Taylor.”
Winston couldn’t help but grin. He was filled with pride at the sight of the loving couple. Jeremy, whom he wasn’t fond of in the past, appeared more pleasant to the eye now.
“You cheeky child. Where did you go just now?” Winston grumbled and was gripped by worry when he noticed her pale face. “What’s
muny: nil you reemy JION: LOL Donum un nen LUNC
you to u hospital.”
Looking serious, she shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“Where’s Jonah? I called him, too. Why isn’t he around?”
“He has something to deal with. He’ll join us soon,” she replied flatly.
With a frown, Winston interrogated, “How about Taty? I haven’t seen. her for a while.”
The look in Jeremy’s eyes hardened as he clenched his jaw. At the same time, Alyssa cast a hostile look at Victor..
“Hahaha! Winston, it must have slipped your mind. Wasn’t Taty chatting enthusiastically with David at the start of the ball? I bet those young people find a business event boring. They must be chatting away in some corner right now,” Victor remarked with a smile. “I have known Taty since she was a kid.
She’s the most quiet among all your kids. I’m surprised she has a lot to talk to David. I think they’re very interested in each other and compatible!”
Alyssa snickered at the remark, causing the air to freeze. Victor’s soured, but he forced a smile out of consideration for his friends with the Taylors. “Lyse, you seem to be in a bad mood. Did someon upset you?”
“Mr. Schmidt, Taty isn’t interested in your crippled son. Are you too senile to tell?” Alyssa squinted dangerously.
The smile froze on Victor’s face, and his irritation flared at the brash young lady. Perhaps Alyssa was spoilt rotten by Winston or too full of herself after she was pursued by both Jeremy and Jameson, fueling her self-importance and her haughty attitude.
“Lyse, watch your attitude! That was rude,” Winston quietly chided his daughter, puzzled by her unexplained hostility toward the Schmidts.
“Hey, Winston, it’s fine. Don’t say that to your child. I’ll feel bad as her godfather,” Victor expressed his magnanimity.
Not only that, he showed his gratitude. “Had it not been for Lyse’s help, David wouldn’t have stood a chance to recover. She’s our benefactor, so please be nice to her.”
Alyssa was incensed after Victor brought up David. “Mr. Schdmit, do you know what I regret the most? I regret saving David’s leg.”
Hearing that, Victor looked shellstruck. He gritted his teeth as his expression sank.
“Alyssa Taylor, that’s enough. Victor has always treated you like his daughter. How dare you speak to him in that manner?” Winston berated Alyssa.
He was very taken aback by Alyssa’s odd behavior. Did she have tool much to drink?
“Mr. Taylor, calm down,” Jeremy broke his silence.
He placed a hand on Alyssa’s waist, drawing her into a comforting embrace. “Don’t mistake her as being unreasonable. She has her reasons for saying so, and you’ll know them soon enough.”
All of Alyssa’s heartache and disdain melted away when she up into Jeremy’s passionate eyes.

“Mr. Walsh, this is between the Taylors and the Schmidts. It’s n of your business,” Victor snapped at Jeremy with a warning look. What was that anyway? Did David offend you or something? Watch your tone.”
Jeremy merely studied Victor with a grin, sending a shiver down. Victor’s spine.
At the same time, Zoe scowled upon seeing Jeremy with Alyssa, envy gnawing at her soul. Where had they been before this? Were they having fun in a corner where no one could see them?
She yelled in exasperation as the imagery of them being intimate glances from the guests around her.
Javier furrowed his brows at Zoe’s faux pas. No one would have. thought that the dumb woman was
Landon’s sister. To be honest, he admitted that Alyssa made a better partner for Jeremy in terms of her talents and her family background. Compared to Alyssa, Zoe was a disaster.
Still, he was concerned about Alyssa’s calculative and fickle behavior. Besides, she had Jeremy under her control and attempted to cause trouble for the Walsh’s. Such a capable yet ruthless woman was a ticking time bomb for the Walsh’s if she married Jeremy.
“I’m delighted to see our industry friends attending the first dinner we hosted in Solana City. I express gratitude on behalf of my dad and the Jesselton family,” Zeke began the speech, which was met with applause.
“As you know, we’ve wrapped up our first strategic cooperation with the Walsh Group. The project has achieved considerable sus, and the outcome was delightful. Therefore, we’ve decided to sti with a business partner from Solana City for our racecourse hote project.”
Some guests turned to Javier while the rest stared at Victor. As Winston and his KS Group hailed from
Belbanks, everyone thought it was only normal to exclude him.
On the contrary, Cornelius appeared displeased when no one paid. attention to the Harpers. The public made it clear they regarded the Harpers as beneath the Walsh’s and the Schmidts.
After the speech, Zeke handed the floor to his father. Standing on the stage, Ezzo calmly scanned the faces around him, lingering on Javier, Cornelius, and the rest.
