“Hey, Winston!”
They were unlucky to see the undaunted Dominic walking toward them.
A sharp glint flickered in Winston’s eyes. He showed a composed smile. “Dominic.”
“How are you feeling, Winston?” Dominic walked in front of them and sized his brother up with concern.
In actual fact, he was prying.
“I’ve almost recovered completely. Thank you for asking.” Winston stayed composed.
“Sigh, you don’t need to be this courteous with me. We’re at this age where illnesses are our best friends. Strokes are a tricky business. You must take good care of yourself!”
Then, Dominic noticed Jeremy, who was standing behind. He was like a cold soldier, intimidating as ever.
Dominic was scared. Then, he remembered he was in the KS Group, not the Walsh Group. It was his territory, and he had his brother’s support. He didn’t need to be scared of Jeremy.
So, Dominic looked at Jeremy and smiled. “Are you joining us for the meeting, Mr. Walsh? Is the Walsh Group planning to join us as a shareholder?”
A grim glint flickered in Dominic’s eyes. However, he had to know his place and not act out in front of Winston based on seniority. “Haha… I’m joking.”
Dominic waved his hand and laughed. “However, the KS Group would always welcome you as a shareholder, Mr. Walsh. After all, everyone is saying things about you. You, as the illegitimate son of the Walsh family, had risen into position.
“To secure your position in the family, you can become the Taylor family’s son-in-law, use the KS Group’s power to cement your standing, and enjoy great benefits from the company. It is just as how everyone else was saying.
“If you become a shareholder, you could win brownie points with my brother and debunk the terrible rumor everyone is saying about you.”
“Haha! Uncle Dominic, I thought you just had an outdated taste. I didn’t realize how outdated the news you received was, too.”
Alyssa felt like ripping Dominic to shreds, but she maintained her smile and stayed composed. “Even if you don’t have working internet, it’s not that hard to get more updated news from the television.
“Jeremy is not an illegitimate child, but a pure blood of the Walsh family. After apprehending Sophia, Jeremy had gotten the recognition he deserved.
“Various media platforms have been competing for this headline. If you continue to talk about this outdated piece of rumor, people might think you are on Sophia’s side. They would assume you were just angry and didn’t want to let Jeremy off.”
As Jeremy locked eyes with Alyssa, a warmth blossomed within his heart, spreading like a gentle flame.
Winston frowned and coughed lightly. However, he didn’t stop Alyssa.
The smile on Dominic’s face slowly faded. He gritted his teeth hard.
Alyssa looked down, then slowly shifted her gaze from the bottom up. Her red lips curled into a contemptuous smile. “Also, I can’t help but remind you, Uncle Dominic, when you attend an important event next time, please ask Renee to match your clothes for you. Red and green make you look like a walking Christmas tree.”
Winston cleared his throat, hinting at Alyssa to stop.
Dominic, who was wearing a dark red suit with a dark green tie, froze.
After that debacle, Winston and Dominic entered the meeting room to start the meeting.
Alyssa and Jeremy waited at Winston’s office.
Alyssa lay horizontally on the couch and used Jeremy’s thigh as a pillow. She stared at Jeremy’s handsome face with thin lips and deep eyes. She was laughing hard.
“The memory of the horrified expression on Dominic’s face when I unleashed my biting remarks fills me with pure delight.”
Alyssa’s laughter subsided, replaced by a flicker of indignation. “But I’m still seething! Dominic, that scheming bully believed he was untouchable with Dad by his side. He had the audacity to try and humiliate you. He’s in for a rude awakening!”
“He should have picked someone his own size. Did he really think he could mess with my husband?”
A bright glint appeared in Jeremy’s dark eyes. He gripped Alyssa’s hand. “Whose husband am I?”
Then, Alyssa finally regained her senses. Her silky smooth face had turned scarlet as she looked down.
Jeremy sighed when he saw how embarrassed she was. As he was about to change the topic, he heard her say, “Mine.”
Alyssa looked up slowly and stared into his gorgeous eyes. “You are mine.”
Jeremy’s heart was pounding. He leaned toward her blushed face and touched the tip of her nose. His breath intertwined with her. “You are also mine.”
However, before their lips could meet, Alyssa gently placed a finger on his mouth and glanced toward the camera in the top left corner.
“Don’t. There’s a camera here. Mr. Benton will check it every day. It would be embarrassing if he sees it.
Jeremy agreed with her.
It was normal for couples to kiss, but they had to think twice about where they did it.
“Jeremy, it’s really difficult to procure this medication. Previously, Jonah and Julien went to inquire about it but returned in vain. How did you get it?” Alyssa asked after a brief hesitation.
Jeremy’s gaze wavered. However, he’d always been forthright with Alyssa. There were no secrets between them. “After reaching Mosgravia, I tried many ways and used my connections, but they were all dead ends. Eventually, I went to ask my brother for help.”
Alyssa was shocked. “You went to see Justin? Was he the one who gave you the medication?”
“Yes. Justin has been in Mosgravia for many years for convalescence. Besides, he has close networks with connections in the medical field and is also close with the Jesseltons. So, I thought he must have a way.”
Gratitude glimmered in Jeremy’s eyes. “Luckily, it ended well. It was delayed by a few days, but I still managed to get the medication.”
Alyssa sat up abruptly. She stared at him doubtfully. He felt his hair stood on end by her stare.
“What’s the matter, Lyse? D-Did I say something wrong?” Jeremy revered his wife. If he did something wrong by Alyssa, he would immediately reflect and repent.
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Alyssa frowned. After contemplating briefly, she said, “I think something fishy is going on here.”
“Fishy?” Jeremy frowned.
Alyssa said, “It’s completely normal for your brother to get his hands on the medication. He had been in Mosgravia for many years. One word from him can get Jesseltons to partner with the Walsh Group.”
A dark look rested on Alyssa’s face. “However, how did Jamiper get his hands on it?”
Jeremy was caught off guard by the question.
“The Schmidt family abandoned him. He had built his life in Kontina since the beginning. Why would he have any connections in Mosgravia?”
Alyssa felt more unsettled the more she thought about it. “I have a wild theory. I’m wondering if Jameson knew your brother or at least had met your brother before.”
Jeremy was about to object to her theory, but he remembered that Sheryl and Jameson had the same fragrance.
Drawing conclusions about Sheryl and Jameson knowing each other from this fact seemed premature. Nevertheless, doubts continued to nag at him.
Suddenly, hurried knocks echoed in the room.
Jeremy and Alyssa exchanged glances and went to open the door quickly.
Winston’s other secretary stood outside the door. It wasn’t Neil, but this secretary was also a close confidant.
“Ms. Alyssa! Something happened!” The secretary appeared visibly anxious, his forehead drenched in sweat.
Alyssa’s heart dropped. “Did something happen to my father?”
Jeremy grabbed her by the waist and enveloped her in his arms to comfort her.
“Mr. Taylor is feeling unwell all of a sudden. Please follow me to the meeting room now.”
“Winston! What’s the matter with you? Winston!” Dominic, who sat closest to Winston, screamed at the top of his lungs, successfully attracting everyone’s attention to Winston’s swaying body.
Winston was steadying his shaky legs with both hands at the moment. He buried his head as his eyes were buzzing. His heart was pounding abnormally fast.
He didn’t dare to lift his head. He could clearly sense that the muscles on his face were twitching uncontrollably. He was like a man suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
The board members exchanged glances. They wanted to get a closer look at what was going on but were fearful to do so.
“Let’s end the meeting here… for now,” Winston drawled as he broke out in a cold sweat.
As he uttered the last two words, he felt a strange sensation enveloping his tongue, causing it to grow numb. His ability to speak clearly was slipping away.
