“It’s her own problem. Why should we go down with her? Blame her bad luck. Blame her horrible fate!”
“It’s not like that!” Suddenly, Ben, his forehead covered in cold sweat, rushed forward and shouted,
“Things are not like what you’re saying!”
The three Walsh’s were all shocked.
Ben had been with them for more than 30 years. He had a calm personality and was meticulous in his work. He had never been so impulsive.
“Mr. Gorham, do you … do you know something?”
Jeremy keenly sensed Ben’s hesitation to speak. With red eyes, he urgently asked, “You do know something, right?”
Ben tightly closed his eyes, tears of guilt streaming down his face. The next second, with a thud, he suddenly bent both knees and knelt in front of them.
“Mr. Gorham!”
“Ben!”
Both shocked and anxious, Newton repeatedly patted his thighs. “Get up now! Say what you have to say. What are you doing?”
Jeremy strode forward, wanting to help Ben up, but he stubbornly refused to get up.
“It’s my fault … It’s all my fault … I should have spoken up earlier … If I had spoken up, Ms. Alyssa and
Mr. Jeremy wouldn’t have reached this point …”
Ben choked up, speaking intermittently, “Back then … when Ms. Alyssa had a miscarriage, I was there.”
Jeremy’s pupils violently trembled. “What did you say? You were there?”
“Ben! What are you talking about? How were you there?” Newton was on edge. “You usually talk fluently. Why are you stammering now? Speak quickly!”
“The car accident … It was because of that car accident!”
Ben apologized to Alyssa in his mind for not being able to keep the secret for her anymore.
“Car … accident?”
Jeremy’s heart raced. Suddenly, he remembered the event from nearly three years ago.
When he returned from abroad, Newton had been hospitalized due to a car accident. Alyssa wasn’t there to take care of him. Instead, she said something happened to her family. She then disappeared for a while.
“Christmas … Was it that Christmas?” Newton also immediately reacted.
Ben nodded heavily. His voice was choked with tears. “Three years ago, on Christmas, Mr. Javier and
Mr. Jeremy, along with the ladies, were not in Solana City … Only Ms. Alyssa was here. She braved the snow to spend the holiday with you.”
Jeremy’s heart tightened, feeling the air thinning around him and making it difficult to breathe.
“You wanted to visit Madam Doris, so Ms. Alyssa drove you. Later, you went to the seaside, where you used to frequently date Madam Doris when you were young.
“Everything was beautiful that day, but on the way back, you had a car accident.”
Ben shed tears and bowed his head. “Ms. Alyssa was injured, too. Yet, she did everything she could to get you to the hospital. After that, she experienced severe abdominal pain. Then, I saw … blood flowing from under her skirt …” “My poor Allison! Why are you so foolish?” Newton regretted deeply, shaking his head with tears in his eyes.
Heartbroken, Jeremy clutched his shirt tightly, feeling as if a knife were grinding his heart into a bloody pulp.
Though Javier was unsympathetic, he lightly frowned upon hearing this.
Ben explained, “Ms. Alyssa was afraid that you and Mr. Jeremy would worry, so she begged me to keep this secret. Since you were severely injured at that time, I feared that you might be too traumatized.
“And if the news of Ms. Alyssa’s inability to conceive got out, she wouldn’t have a place in the Walsh family. She might be done for her whole life …”
“Just because of this, you chose to listen to her? Are you out of your mind? She was so young back then! What could she possibly understand?” Newton lamented with a heavy heart.
“It’s all my fault, Mr. Newton, Mr. Jeremy. Please punish me in any way you see fit. I’ll accept any punishment …”
Why was Alyssa so foolish?
Before Ben could finish speaking, Jeremy had already left them behind, running out of the villa.
“Mr. Jeremy!”
Ben wanted to catch up, but Newton stopped him. “Forget it! Let him go!
“Jeremy owes Allison, and this is also my debt to her. I’m afraid I won’t be able to clear it in this lifetime.
Let Jeremy repay it with the rest of his life.”
Under the rain, flashlights flickered on Zoe’s pale and terrified face. They were more blinding than the lightning.
“Ms. Zoe! You exposed Ms. Alyssa’s personal privacy of not being able to conceive in public. Don’t you think it’s too much?”
“Did you bribe the doctor for this medical report, or did someone provide it to you privately?”
“Did you expose Ms. Alyssa’s privacy to obstruct her and Mr. Walsh from being together just so you could marry into a wealthy family?”
Countless reporters crowded outside the police station, swiftly converging on Zoe, who was being escorted by the police.
All the cameras were pointing at her. Drenched and pushed around, Zoe appeared disheveled and sweaty, looking utterly pitiful.
Her wrists were handcuffed. But considering her status as a member of a wealthy family, the police wrapped her hands in white cloth, concealing the handcuffs.
Even so, she felt extremely ashamed.
Just a few hours ago, she was the proud heiress of a wealthy family. Now, she had become a prisoner.
Everything was over. Her dream of becoming the president’s wife was shattered.
Landon had given strict orders, not allowing anyone to find a public relations team or hire a lawyer for her. He had left her to fend for herself.
Cornelius might help her by sending people to control online comments and block information.
But why were there still so many reporters here?
Why?
“Heh, this stupid woman probably never thought that things would end up like this.”
Standing beside Jameson, Carl watched the news of Zoe’s arrest on the big screen, mocking with a cold smile. “From the moment you made that call, inviting her into the game, she was destined for a dead end.
“But she’s really useless. Last time, she couldn’t handle Jeremy at the hotel. This time, she got herself involved again. Landon has completely given up on her. Only Cornelius is still protecting her.
“But even that old man can’t outsmart you. You asked me to get those reporters to surround her. You’re really pushing her into an abyss.”
Jameson had a weird smile on his cold face as he swirled the wine glass elegantly.
This smile was undoubtedly charming, but the pair of eyes hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses revealed a hint of bloodlust and satisfied cruelty after feeding.
“A useless pawn should be treated like trash. The fate of trash is to be crushed into debris.”
Jameson took a sip of red wine. Watching Zoe being arrested, he smiled even brighter. “But Zoe is not entirely useless. If it weren’t for her, how could this matter have escalated so much, achieving results even beyond my expectations?”
“It was wise of you not to go tonight. In such chaos, you should indeed avoid arousing suspicion.”
“However, I can’t avoid it now.”
Jameson slowly stood up, and Carl immediately stepped forward to straighten his coat and tie. “The annoying fellow has been eliminated. Now it’s time for the real male lead to take the stage.”
Lights were on at Heightsnew Villa, guaranteeing the Taylors a sleepless night.
Winston treated his collections as treasures. But tonight, he was so furious that he had smashed several million-dollar antique vases.
In an instant, countless porcelain pieces lay scattered on the floor.
