Back at the KS World Hotel, Alyssa monitored the progress of L’s event proposal with a greater


    focus and dedication than she poured into Ada Kingley’s wedding.


    While she had worked diligently for Ada as a client, this time, hermitment was out of love for L.


    She was family.


    “Ms. Alyssa, you’ve been through a lot. You should rest after pulling three all-nighters,” Sean reminded


    her


    and handed her a ss of orange juice, as he worried that coffee might be too acidic for her.


    “I can’t. The event hall arrangements have been made, but we haven’tpleted the dress for L,”


    Alyssa mumbled and massaged her sore forehead.


    Women of Alyssa’s age would be shopping, traveling the world, and dating. Unlike them, she spent


    most of her time buried in documents and data, leading the hotel management to improve their


    business.


    She might be hardy, but she would also get exhausted like any other person. She instructed, “Arrange


    a


    visit to Rose Emerson’s studioter.”


    “Is it to work on Madam L’s dress?”


    “Yes. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it on time without putting in some overtime.”


    Sean sighed, feeling concerned for her. His phone suddenly buzzed. It was a text from Jonah


    containing


    the guest list of L’s birthday party. Jonah ordered Sean to ry the list to Alyssa.


    Sean tapped into the attached photo and was immediately attracted by the names of the three Schmidt


    brothers. He was consumed by fury once more at the thought of Josh Schmidt, who had thrown a wad


    of


    cash at him, and Josh’s mistress with heavy makeup, who had humiliated Tatiana.


    “What’s wrong with the guest list? You have a funny look on your face,” Alyssa questioned. She had


    observed the change in his microexpressions.


    “Ms. Alyssa, there’s something that I need to report to you,” Sean began. Then, he told her all about


    the


    incident from the night he sent Tatjana back to campus while leaving out Josh’s humiliation.


    At first, he had wanted to solve the problem for Tatiana. On second thought, he realized he might get


    into


    greater trouble, given that Brie was Josh’s mistress. As a mere secretary, hecked the power to


    protect


    Tatiana.


    Besides, Brie probably gave Tatiana trouble as her schoolmate. Since Sean was busy with work, he


    had to


    ask for Alyssa’s help to get rid of the problem for Tatiana.


    Alyssa listened to his ount with an angry frown. She spat, “How dare a mistress harass my sister?”


    Then, she mmed her hand against the table and hissed, “What goes aroundes around! She will


    reap what she sow.”


    Sean couldn’t help but let out an amused chuckle at her reaction.


    She continued, “That woman is only acting insolent because she thinks she has Josh Schmidt’s


    support. I bet she’d fall to her knees and apologize to Taty if she knew that Taty was backed by the


    Taylor family


    and the KS Group. I’d like to see if Josh Schmidt would defend her by then!”


    “So, are you nning to teach that mistress a lesson?” Sean cautiously prodded.


    Alyssa lifted her ss and took a sip of the juice leisurely. She scoffed. “She isn’t worth my time. If


    anything, I’ll need to put the me on Josh Schmidt to get revenge for Taty.”


    “But he might not know that Tatiana Taylor was the woman that his mistress had a fight with. If he had


    known…

    Alyssa red at him. “I don’t care! I can be unreasonable and overly protective. Ignorance is bliss’


    doesn’t


    work for me.”


    That evening, Alyssa drove her Bugatti La Voiture Noire to Rose Emerson’s studio alone without


    Sean’s
