Sean was panting as he rushed back to Alyssa’s ce, the chilly fall air clinging to him. His forehead
glistened with sweat.
Alyssa didn’t immediately ask him about the oue; instead, she strode to the coffee table and
poured him a ss of warm water.
She handed the ss over to him and said, “Take a rest first and have some warm water. It’s cold
outside, isn’t it?”
As Sean took the ss, the tips of his chilly fingers brushed against Alyssa’s. It felt warm, and his heart
skipped a beat.
“Have a seat and rx.”
Alyssa turned and sat on the couch. She had her legs crossed beneath her nightgown and her peach-
colored velvet slippers perched on the tips of her toes.
Sean’s face was slightly flushed as he held the ss awkwardly in his hands.
He took a moment to regte his breathing before speaking, “Ms. Alyssa, everything turned out just as
you expected. Bryan and Abigail knew each other, and they’re much more than just friends!”
Alyssa smiled. “Even if I knew what’s going on, things could only be done with your help, right?”
Sean handed his phone to her as he smiled shyly.
She took the phone and lowered her head, scrolling through the pictures with a reserved expression.
The pictures showed Bryan and Abigail on a date at a café. Bryan was caressing Abigail’s face, their
hands intertwined. They gazed at each other lovingly, deeply immersed in their own world.
“Ms. Alyssa, this is solid proof! We can question Bryan now!” Sean was brimming with excitement,
convinced they had a strong lead.
“This is far from enough.” Alyssa put down the phone calmly.
“Is this not enough?” Sean widened his eyes.

He continued, “I’ve got my hands on their hotel room reservation records for the past two months,
which showed that they met at least twice in one week. They’ve been in close contact.
“And before these two months, there wasn’t a single interaction between them! Isn’t this enough to
prove
Dean was the snitch?”
‘It is, but the evidence isn’t enough. You studiedw. You should know that this is circumstantial
evidence. It’s insufficient to convict Bryan.”
Alyssa closed her eyes as she stretched out on the couch. “What if he ims they’re just a regr
couple? What can you do about it?”
Finally, Sean grasped Alyssa’s intentions.
She wasn’t just interested in uncovering the betrayer’s identity. She was determined to eliminate any
potential threats.
She intended to make both the mastermind and the aplices pay dearly for their actions!
With a grim expression, Sean remarked, “Then we’ll have to find evidence that he leaked confidential
information.”
“Bryan couldn’t resist leaking the information to Abigail as soon as I mentioned I had devised a new
n during the meeting. I can already anticipate his next moves.
“You don’t have to tail Bryan for now. Assign someone to shadow Abigail and Betty. Monitor their
interactions.
“Also, dig a bit deeper into Abigail’s background. Who knows, we might uncover some other surprises..
‘Understood, Ms. Alyssa.”
Suddenly, a rhythmic breathing filled the room.
Sean looked closely and realized that Alyssa had fallen asleep in an instant. Her lips were slightly
parted, and her longshes cast shadows beneath her eyes. Her breathing carried an air of elegance.
It appeared that she was exhausted, her mind overwhelmed.
Sean’s eyes revealed concern and distress as he knelt beside the couch on one knee. Initially, he
extended his arms. He was tempted to scoop her up.
However, he restrained his impulse to touch her. Instead, he retrieved a nket and carefully tucked
her secretary. It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to exploit the situation while she
Furthermore, he held a steadfast belief that, apart from Alyssa’s father and brothers, her lover should
be the only man who deserved to carry her in his arms.
