“Jeremy.” Alyssa raised her hand and scratched Jeremy’s chin.
“Yeah?” Jeremy responded softly as he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest.
“Aren’t you curious what I told Jameson after barging into his plane?” Alyssa resisted the entire day and eventually decided to ask.
Jeremy smiled lightly. “Why? Are you afraid I would be jealous?”
“Pfft! If you would get jealous of someone like him, you are basically questioning my character.” Alyssa poked his chest hard with her fingertip.
“Before this, I was really jealous when I saw both of you together.” Jeremy’s eyes reddened slightly. He lifted her hand and planted a warm kiss on her palm.
“I know. It was so obvious. I’m not blind.”
Alyssa pouted as a light sense of uneasiness appeared on her face. “At that time, you and I just divorced, so I had accumulated so much anger at you. I was overjoyed when I saw you getting angry.
“I thought I was different from other women. Divorce wasn’t a big deal. I thought I could let it go as easily as getting divorced. Then, I finally understood the joy I felt seeing you angry didn’t stem from the satisfaction of getting revenge¡ªit was the feeling that you still cared.”
It was 13 years of pursuing, crushing on, and obsessing.
It was impossible to let it go that easily.
Jeremy’s breath slowed down. An endless sense of sadness rushed through his veins. His chest was churning as his mind was racing.
The sentence “Let’s get married again” had been brewing in his heart for so long. He even dreamt of the day he would say it. However, at this moment, he forced it back down his throat once again.
Was he worthy?
Was he worthy of being her husband again?
“I’ve… always cared for you,” Jeremy murmured shakily. He choked so much that he couldn’t utter the last word.
Alyssa felt she had touched a sore spot, so she changed the subject. “Actually, I didn’t say much to Jameson. I just. vented my anger.”
“It’s good to vent it out.”
“I really don’t understand his life in Kontina for the past 15 years. What could he possibly experience, or who did he meet that had caused his heart to harden to this point?”
An image of Jameson laughing maniacally appeared in Alyssa’s mind. She shook her head. “He was never like this. I still remember the time we snuck out to play when we were younger and saw a snake in the woods.
“He was more terrified than I was but still courageously stood before the snake. He shivered all over and scared the snake away. There are still many instances… He was a pretty good person growing up.” “I’ve looked into his background. I’m afraid his mother has a lot to do with his animosity toward the Schmidt Group.”
Jeremy hugged Alyssa’s shoulders and said, “Mrs. Schmidt’s position in the Schmidt Group had never been favorable. Three of the children were not hers. She had to be careful, being a stepmother constantly walking on thin ice.
“At that time, Jameson was young. Plus, you know how he was. He was too weak and unable to protect his mother.
“Mrs. Schmidt was an honest and uncompetitive woman, so she and Jameson were often ostracized.”
Alyssa nodded slowly.
She was no stranger to the situation with the Schmidt Group. She heard a lot of gossip from Winston and his wives.
“I also heard Victor despised Mrs. Schmidt because she had an affair with Victor’s bodyguard.”
Alyssa was unbelievably shocked. “Ah, how is that possible? I met Mrs. Schmidt when I was younger. She is so pleasant and gentle and is genuine toward Mr. Schmidt. How could she have an affair with a bodyguard?”
“Yes, so there is something fishy about this.”
Jeremy frowned slightly. “Mr. Schmidt must still kept in the dark about this. However, the three Schmidt siblings must have had a hand in this.
“That bodyguard who was involved with Mrs. Schmidt is currently overseas under Josh’s surveillance. Don’t you think this is weird?”
Alyssa asked, “Is this Josh’s scheme?”
“It’s probable. This incident also damaged the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt. Mrs. Schmidt had caused Jameson, who was never favored in the family, to be shunned in Kontina.
“He was left there for 15 years with no support. During these years, Mrs. Schmidt’s health deteriorated, causing Jameson to lose his only support in the Schmidt Group. He did not receive any financial support and lived a difficult life in Kontina.”
Alyssa was somewhat surprised. “Are you speaking for your love rival?”
Jeremy laughed. “No, I’m just stating facts. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. Even if he is my love rival, I wouldn’t preach what is wrong.”
Alyssa was moved. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his lips.
Jameson would never be as upright and open-minded as Jeremy was.
“So, he had every right to hate. If it were me, I would have done what I could to come back and take revenge for my mother,” Jeremy said with gloomy eyes.
“However, this is not the reason for his downfall.”
Alyssa still shook her head. “Plus, if he wanted revenge, he could get back at the Schmidt family alone. Why is he targeting you, Jonah, and Miley? How could he not know Jeremy was my brother-in-law when he was in Kontina?
“He confidently said he likes me, but ruthlessly hurt the people I love behind my back. He conspired with Inigo to kill Jonah quietly on Shalland Island because Jonah didn’t like him. He is suffering alone.
“Yet, he wants to drag everyone down with him. He would put anyone who didn’t follow his way to death, even if they were the loved ones of the person he likes!
“How many bridges does he want to burn before he is satisfied? He is so selfish and ruthless!”
Jeremy blinked, unsure of what to say. He felt petty cursing Jameson with Alyssa.
Alyssa was silent for a while. Then, she asked suddenly in confusion, “Back then, Jameson and his mother were alone in Kontina. Jameson was so young and far away from far with no one to help him. How did he turn things around and grow his business this big?”
Jeremy’s eyes glistened. “Good question, Alyssa. I’ve been pondering about the same question, so I’ve been secretly investigating it.” “Even you had your grandpa’s full support to secure your position in the Walsh Group. There is no way Jameson didn’t have someone to support him.”
A doubtful glint appeared in Alyssa’s gleaming eyes. “Someone of great position and power must be supporting him in Kontina. He must have used this person as a tool to deal with illegal and dangerous businesses. He might have even used him to get involved in drugs, control the elections, and remove everyone who stands in his way.”
Jeremy stared at Alyssa deeply. His heart quickened. He couldn’t help but kiss her soft lips deeply.
Her analysis was exactly what he thought. They were two peas in a pod.
“Hmm.” Alyssa gasped and finally pushed him away. “If we can find out who Jameson’s backer is, we can overturn Jameson’s hideout and get rid of him once and for all!”
Jeremy swallowed hard as he felt a sudden surge of jealousy.
Alyssa was constantly thinking about getting rid of Jameson. He knew she was doing it for justice. However, she thought so much about Jameson that she had no time to think about him.
“Alyssa, we are thinking about the same thing. I’m looking into this to find a different way to get rid of Jameson.”
“I will contact Miley and Jeremy when I have time to see if we can find a way.” Alyssa was no longer depressed and was filled with determination.
Jeremy laughed affectionately and pinched her waist. “It’s getting late. Let’s head to bed.”
“Hmm… I feel fine.” Alyssa slapped her round belly.
“Let’s go canoeing?”
Alyssa narrowed her eyes. “You believe everything I say, don’t you? It’s so dark outside. Let’s not overturn in the lake.” “Then, let’s head back to the room and do some ‘exercises’ to ease digestion?” Jeremy’s breath deepened. His voice was raspy and enticing.
Alyssa’s heart shuddered and moved coyly in his arms. “L-Let’s go canoeing then.”
Jeremy was speechless. He wondered if Alyssa was tired of him. It appeared as if he needed to learn some new tricks.
A helicopter exploded in the air in the countryside. It was a massive piece of news. Moreover, the residents nearby recorded the entire process and uploaded it online, causing a huge stir.
This was a negative incident. However, the police issued a notice through official channels claiming that internationally wanted criminals were trying to escape capture through the helicopter.
All six of them were found dead. When the news was released, the comments took a different turn. Everyone in the country was thrilled and thought they deserved it.
David’s forensics report came out and confirmed it was mechanical asphyxia. Plus, from the direction of the laceration and the wounds left from the struggle, he was murdered.
However, out of hundreds of inmates and police officers, no one found out who did it.
Perhaps someone was secretly obstructing the case investigation, hoping that the truth would never come to light.
All sorts of comments were flying through the internet about David’s death.
One comment said, “What a relief! I was thinking about how to sentence him to death. Now, justice has been served! This is amazing!”
