“Yes, you and Aidan are doing business together. The business that you’re doing together is to use live humans as test subjects for drug experiments!”
Alyssa was burning with rage. She took out the bag of blue pills from her shirt pocket and hurled it at Jameson’s face. “The Ivory Gang’s members are your lab rats.
“The reason you chose them was because you packaged the medication into drugs and sold them to people of the underworld. Even if the authorities were to find them, you would be able to push the blame onto The Ivory Gang and remove yourself from the picture completely!”
Jameson lowered his eyes. He bent down slowly and picked up the bag of pills from the ground.
He looked back up at Alyssa. His eyes showed no sign of rage, only his deep, affection for her. He couldn’t control how he was head over heels in love with her. He only had eyes for her.
She deserved to be the woman whom he loved all his life. She was brilliant.
Despite that, he knew that he had to be careful. Alyssa could be crafty. What if she carried a recording pen with her?
“I really don’t know what you’re talking about, Lyse.”
While maintaining the smile on his face, he stuffed the bag of pills into his suit pocket.
This action had given Alyssa a clear answer.
Alyssa took a deep breath. She decided to start negotiating with him. “What will it take to make you stop, Jameson?”
She knew that he had lost control and gone beyond all moral boundaries. Even so, she wanted to see for herself and find out how for cruel a person could be. It would be an eye-opener for her.
There was a loud wham.
Jameson’s left arm was tensed up. He had slammed his left hand on the wall right next to Alyssa’s head and trapped her between himself and the wall behind her. His chest rose and fell as he breathed heavily.
Alyssa’s pupils constricted. Her gaze was frigid, yet fearless.
Although they were so close to one another, she wasn’t afraid of Jameson doing anything to her.
If he dared to touch her, she would whip her butterfly knife out and cut off his limbs!
“You need to be part of the solution.”
Even though no one else was around them Jameson spoke in a voice so low that it was audible only to them. He said in a hoarse and gentle voice, “Leave Jeremy and be with me, Lyse. I promise to become the same Jimmy whom you remember.”
The look in Alyssa’s clear eyes became even more distant.
Jimmy-the nickname seemed distant, almost forgotten, tucked away in the recesses of her mind. Yet now, it echoed in her ears once again.
The youth with an innocent and tender smile from her past appeared again in her mind.
Unfortunately, life’s hardships and the cruelty of humanity had transformed the said youth into a despicable devil.
There was no other way than for her to ensure that justice was served by getting rid of this devil. She had to do this for the sake of her loved ones and those who were controlled and harmed by him. Jameson noticed Alyssa’s absent-mindedness. He thought that his words moved her.
Waves of passion crashed within him, and his breathing became heavier. He lowered his eyes. He couldn’t help himself and leaned in for a kiss that he had been yearning for.
A sharp crack sounded in the dark stairwell.
The next moment, Jameson froze.
He felt a sharp coldness on his neck, and his lips went pale. He narrowed his eyes and smirked.
“You’re still as agile as before, Lyse. Is it because Jeremy can’t give you a sense of security? Is that why you have to force yourself to be on guard to protect yourself?”
Alyssa looked at him with a piercing gaze. She held her butterfly knife firmly against his throat.
“Jeremy and I are man and wife. We are partners and comrades in arms. No one else can replace the sense of security he gives me. I was never a woman who sought out protection from another man anyway. I am capable of protecting myself. When necessary, I can also give my all to protect Jeremy.”
Jameson’s eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he was about to devour her.
He groveled through the thorny darkness all his life. Although all he had achieved had come with Justin’s support, it was still a grueling and bloody journey for him.
No one had ever shielded him from harm. He even had to protect his poor mother with his frail body.
At this very moment, his most beloved woman was declaring to his face that she wanted to protect the person he hated.
Undeniably, she was cruelly slashing his heart into pieces and stomping on them!
“Jameson, don’t you think that it’s funny that you’re making yourself a pawn?” Alyssa scoffed. She tilted her butterfly knife to an angle. “With all the evil deeds that you’ve done so far, do you even have any humanity left within you? Do you deserve to be negotiating with me? What right do you have to ask me to give up on Jeremy?
“It doesn’t matter if it’s in this life or the next. I will never choose you.
“Also, put a stop to your evil deeds if you still have any hint of conscience within you. Otherwise, I will not care about the cost or the consequences. I will destroy you and the person hiding behind you completely, even if it means that I have to give up my life!”
Upon saying that, Alyssa made a swift, long cut along the collar of Jameson’s expensive suit. She pushed him away and strutted off. With a loud wham, the door to the stairwell slammed shut.
The sensor light above Jameson lit up. He bit down hard on his lip as he lifted his hand and touched the part of his neck where it hurt. He looked down and was shocked to see blood staining his fingers. He burst out laughing, and a mad look flashed across his eyes. Then, Carl’s voice came from the other side of the door. “Are you in there, Mr. Schmidt?”
“Come in.”
Carl entered immediately and softly closed the door behind him. Jameson had his back toward him. Carl asked, “Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Taylor and the others are about to leave. Do you want to see them off?” “What difference does it make? No matter how hard I try to please Winston, he won’t change his attitude toward me.”
Jameson continued staring at the blood on his fingertips. All that filled his mind was the image of Alyssa’s luscious lips, making his heart. flutter. He continued, “His current son-in-law is Jeremy, who’s able to lower himself to the point where he sucks up to Winston and the
Taylors. That’s something I can’t do.
“The only one I care about is Lyse.”
Carl harrumphed. “Other than bootlicking, what does Jeremy know? Of all things, Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Taylor accept that side of him!”
Carl had a look of disdain on his face. Angrily, he remarked, “I don’t understand why she has a soft spot for him.”
“Lyse has found out about my dealings with Aidan in secret.”
Jameson’s eyes were wintry. He tightened his fists. “She’s even found out that have been instructing Aidan to sell the so-called ‘drugs’ and using The Ivory Gang members to perform drug experiments.”
Carl was astonished. “What? How did she find out so quickly?” Alyssa was remarkable!
She might be a woman, but she was a force to be reckoned with!
“Julien is now half a family member of theirs. Nathan is the leader of The Ivory Gang and is close to her. Plus her brother, Cyrus, is the leader of the Criminal Investigation Unit.at’s just a matter of time before Lyse gets answers to her questions.”
Even at this point in time, Jameson’s eyes were still filled with admiration for Alyssa.
“Was Aidan the only person whom Ms. Alyssa found out about? How about Chief Novak?” Carl couldn’t help but feel worried.
“I don’t think she’s found out about him. He’s such a significant witness. If she did, the emotional Lyse that I know would have called the cops on me.”
Jameson pushed his golden-framed glasses back. He smiled slightly. “Though Lyse did remind me this time. We do need to be more careful.
“I understand Lyse and Jeremy’s approach. Since they’ve found out about Aidan, he is now a ticking time bomb to us. So, I have to be one step ahead of them and wipe him out.”
“The drug has now been distributed to half of Solana City through the underground market. Aidan isn’t worth much to us anymore.”
With a sinister look on his face, Carl commented, “It’s also a risk to keep him.”
“I am someone who likes to make the most out of something. We must ensure that his sacrifice is worth it.”
Jameson observed his own menacing reflection on the glass of the cabinet where the fire hydrant was stored.
He looked like a man and a monster at the same time.
“As the saying goes, clothes make the man. But, I would still need to rely on Joseph, Aidan, and all the other Lovelaces to wash the dirt off me.”
“Don’t worry. They will definitely be the ones to take the blame. Isn’t this what you’ve already agreed upon with Mr. Justin?”
Carl added, “I will notify Chief Novak to make the preparations accordingly over the next few days.”
“It’s about time to make our move with The Ivory too,” Jameson remarked coldly before turning around and brushing past Carl.
The next day, a piece of groundbreaking news spread across Solana City and throughout the entire country.
Jameson was officially promoted to Schmidt Group’s chairman and chairman of the board. He also inherited all of Victor’s inheritance.
