dealing with his enemy in the air is easier. Besides, once he flies Inigo Montiye out of Cyrris, we can’t stop him anymore. He could do anything he wanted to that guy.”
That was a terrible yet brilliant move by Jameson.
Looking agape at Alyssa and clapping like a seal, Landon praised, “Lyse, you’re smart! You’re godlike!”
“Stop flattering me. Think of a solution now,” urged Alyssa, who felt a burden on her chest.
“Xavier, from now on, get more men to keep track of the movements of Jameson’s private jet. If he makes a move, we’ll need to stop him,” Jeremy hissed with an icy demeanor.
“Got it, Mr. Walsh!”
Jeremy Walsh was once a haughty scion with high social standing, but before Alyssa, he was just a strategist and right-hand man who’d willingly submit himself to her service.
“What if we can’t stop him? What if the jet takes off? We can’t possibly shoot at it!” Landon threw out an absurd-sounding question with a serious face.
“Inigo Montiye is a wanted man in both Cyrris and Tsulu. I’ll reach out to Liam and Cyrus. The military and the police will work on the case together.” Grinning proudly, she proclaimed, “Even if Inigo Montiye takes off, I have a way to get him!”
Landon, Jeremy, and Xavier cast admiring looks at her.
Daisy Schmidt had gone to prison, and David was under arrest. As Jeremy had described, Josh lost both support pillars and walked on thin ice.
On top of that, Josh had to use up his wealth from years of illegal business deals in Kontina to stabilize the Schmidt Group’s stock price. Due to his efforts, he started gaining Victor’s trust, leading to a growing faction in the company loyal to him. Part of the upper management and shareholders gradually lent their support to him.
Life was getting tough for Josh, but he wasn’t about to give up. No matter what, he would never allow
Jameson, the bastard child of the Schmidt Family, to ride over him.
Therefore, he devised a plan to reduce David’s sentence. David had always been Victor’s favorite, as he had lived with Victor the longest and was adept at ingratiating himself with their father, Victor.
Understandably, David’s arrest dealt a massive blow to Victor.
Josh met up with Victor and consoled Victor. “Dad, don’t worry about it. Sexual assault isn’t that big of a crime. All we have to do is pull a few strings, and David will be out in a few years.”
“A few years? Do you take me as a fool?” Although Victor was heavily embarrassed by David’s nudity on TV, he worried himself to death for his beloved second son. As a result, his hair had greyed.
Victor snapped, “There were minors among the women he assaulted! Minors! He’ll be locked away for at least ten years for that. Of all the women he could sleep with, why would he lay a finger on kids?
He’s an idiot!”
After a pause, Josh said in a grave tone, “You’re right on one thing. Our family is as important as the
Walsh’s in Solana City. We’re one of the four distinguished families. Were those women whom he assaulted truly innocent without any ulterior motive?”
Victor frowned. “Josh, what do you mean?”
“Some of those women he allegedly raped were his exes, and some were escorts for hire. A few even initiated the contact¡ªthey were calculative women who planned to marry into wealth.
“The police might hold part of the evidence, but they had no witness. Their so-called witnesses are unreliable. When the case is brought to court, they won’t have anything against David. That’ll reduce
David’s sentence.”
Victor, a seasoned businessman himself, did not need Josh to lay it out before he grasped the idea.
Satisfied with Josh’s arrangement, he cast a serious and expectant look on his son. “Josh, I’ll leave this to you. Let’s go ahead with the plan.”
On the same night, Alyssa and Jeremy decided to move back home. Before they left, Lauren cried her heart out in Alyssa’s arms, crumpling Alyssa’s black dress in her tight grip and staining Alyssa’s outfit in tears.
People would have thought the two were saying a final farewell.
Alyssa spent some time consoling Lauren and promised to visit. Besides that, she reminded Landon to bring Lauren out for fresh air instead of treating her like a bird in a gilded cage.
Landon immediately vowed to do so. Hugging his crying wife, the two stood at the entrance and watched as Alyssa and Jeremy departed.
On the journey, Alyssa couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears slid down her cheeks like fallen stars in the night sky.
“Lyse, don’t cry.” Jeremy breathed heavily when he saw her crying. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and offered a comforting hug. He rubbed his chin on her hair, saying, “You’ll see each other again. If you miss Lauren, just invite her to stay at our place.
“Or how about I buy a bigger place for the three of us to live together? I’ll appoint Angelina as the president’s secretary. That ought to keep her busy. Mrs. Rosie will take care of Lauren instead. Doesn’t that sound good?”
“Hmph! Are you sure you’re Landon’s friend? That’s a rotten idea.” Sniffling, she poked at his chest.
“They haven’t spent much time together. Are you seriously trying to separate them just to make me happy? Jeremy, you’re a heartless prick. Even if Lauren doesn’t protest, Landon will curse you every day for it.”
Taken aback by her reaction, he soon responded by kissing her lips. After some intimate moments, he smiled bitterly and admitted, “I didn’t think it through. I thought it was a good idea since Lauren looked reluctant to part with you.”
“It was you who told me not to interrupt them,” she playfully accused, her breathing labored after the kissing.
Eyes brimming with tears, she added, “So, leave them alone.”
Staring at her alluring eyes, he grinned. “Lyse, are you telling me to leave them alone because you want some private time with me?”
Her cheeks burned from shame. She bit her lips and mumbled, “I… I’m not telling you.”
He smiled dotingly and was about to kiss her when he was interrupted by her ringing phone. She struggled to leave his arms and grumbled, “Mmph… I need to take the call.”
Her chest tightened when she saw it was a call from Tatiana. Tatiana was the only sibling who rarely got into trouble. She’d never call unless there was an emergency.
Alyssa immediately answered, “Taty, what’s wrong?”
“Lyse, please! Please save Sean…” Tatiana broke down upon hearing Alyssa’s voice. Tears flowing, she revealed, “He. The police have arrested him!”
Feeling her heart sinking, Alyssa rasped, “Sean’s arrested? When was that?”
Jeremy’s eyes wavered. He silently grasped her sweating palm.
Tatiana confessed, “It. It happened a few days back.”
Days of worry had driven Tatiana to the brink of insanity. Shedding tears, she said, “Mom and I tried to come up with a solution. The Lynch family tried to get help, but we all failed to get him out.”
“What? Why did you only tell me now?” Alyssa gasped, her heart leaping into her mouth.
“Lyse, keep calm. You don’t want to scare Taty,” reminded Jeremy.
He held his hand and gently calmed her down. “Tell Taty not to panic and share everything with you.”
Taking a deep breath, Alyssa apologized with guilt. “Sorry, Taty. I was too harsh on you earlier. Don’t cry. Tell me everything. I’m eager to know which idiot laid a finger on my staff. I’ll make them pay for it!”
Although they were panicking, Jeremy had to stifle a laugh when he heard Alyssa’s adorable threat.
“It’s. It’s the Schmidts.” Tatiana sobbed. “I think his family was upset that he got beaten up after what happened to me. They’re now giving Sean trouble.
“Sean was arrested for aggravated assault. David Schmidt even underwent a health assessment and blamed all his injuries on Sean. The police concluded that Sean had severely injured David.”
Naturally, David seized the opportunity to blame his impotence on Sean’s attack. With the Schmidts’
influence, manipulating the assessment results was a breeze.
“That son of a bitch! I’ve shown him mercy by sparing his life. How dare the Schmidts hit back at us?”
Anger rolled through her.
Tatiana added, “The Schmidts do not plan to settle in private…”
“Yeah, there’s no way they’ll do that. They want Sean dead!” Alyssa rubbed her temples. Hatred pulsed through her, causing her heart to race. “Only Josh Schmidt could do something like this. Maybe
Simon’s involved too!”
“Simon? Simon is Sean’s brother. He couldn’t possibly do that!” Tatiana was in disbelief.
“It’s very plausible.” Jeremy caressed Alyssa on the back. His eyes were as deep as an abyss. “Simon
Lynch is a top attorney in Solana City, but he hasn’t done anything since his brother was arrested.
Doesn’t that sound odd to you?
“Besides, after hearing you and Alyssa out, it seems that Simon and Sean have a strained relationship.
