“Lyse, Ss, Cyrus, Sean, and I are in front of Jameson’s vi,” Jonah said tersely, his voice as


    commanding es thunder. He provided her with a sense of security.


    “Jonah, I’m all good. You guys overreacted…” Alyssa mumbled and massaged her temples, trying to


    visualize the absurd situation unfolding outside.


    “Overreacting? Lyse, you spent the night at another man’s ce! As your brothers, we were almost in


    tears!” Ss yelled, his voice nearly hoarse.


    “Did that guyy a hand on you? Did you stay willingly, or did he trick you into it? I’ve got a pair of


    handcuffs ready for him!” Cyrus turned into a hot-blooded policeman, ready to barge in and arrest


    Jameson on the spot.


    “Calm down! All of you!” Alyssa instructed, frantically slipping on her heels and leaving the vi.


    Outside, several luxury cars had surrounded the vicinity.


    Sean was the first to rush up to her, his eyes filled with tears. He held onto her shoulders and asked,


    “How are you? Are you okay? Did Jameson Schmidt do anything to you?”


    “As if he would dare! The Taylors would destroy his family!” Alyssa responded, still thinking her brothers


    and Sean were unnecessarily worried.


    “Lyse!” The three brothers encircled her. They sighed in relief to see her fully dressed and unharmed.


    *Jonah, Ss, good morning,” greeted Jameson, who strolled over with a warm smile.

    He turned to Cyrus and remarked, “Cyrus, you’re here too. I guess there’s not much to do at the police


    station.”


    Cyrus clenched his teeth, aching to p the handcuffs on Jameson.


    Ss was equally irate. He snapped, “Who are you to call me ‘Ss’? We’re not that close! It’s ‘Mr.


    Taylor’


    for you.”


    “Ah, right. I haven’t been back for a while. It looks like we’re not as close as we used to be,” Jameson


    replied nonchntly, giving Alyssa a tender look.


    “No matter what you think of me, my feelings for Lyse haven’t changed.”


    This was the second time Jameson had taken away Alyssa, the Taylor family’s princess. Jameson He


    might not have harmed Alyssa, but his actions were a clear provocation to the Taylor siblings.


    *Jonah, Ss, let’s go home.” Sensing that the situation was taking a bad turn, Alyssa tugged on Jonah

    and Ss’ sleeves, hinting at them to leave.


    “You guys should go home with Lyse,” Jonah instructed.


    He gently squeezed Alyssa’s hand and said to Jameson, “Jameson, let’s have a talk.”


    Jameson warmly agreed, “Of course, Jonah.”


    Since Alyssa couldn’t convince Jonah to leave, she got into the car while Ss, Cyrus, and Sean


    looked on,


    As the car pulled away, she casually nced out of the window, only to be startled by what she saw.


    There was a gruesome patch of dried blood on the snowy ground by the roadside.


    The air was tense in the vi’s living room. Jonah sat straight on the couch and crossed his legs with at


    stern look. He looked at Jameson with more hostility than before.


    Jameson offered him some tea, saying, “Jonah, please have some tea.”


    “It’s fine. I’ll be quick.”
