Jameson struggled to maintain hisposure, his body trembling with anger as he cried out in agony,


    I’ve told you countless times that it was Josh, David, and Daisy-the very children you treat with such


    trust and love-who framed my mother!


    “Instead of seeking the truth and listening to her, you dismissed her and sent her to that wretched


    ce.


    Marrying you was the worst thing that ever happened to her!”


    “I’ve been generous enough to let her keep her title after the way she was caught red-handed. What


    more


    can she possibly say?”


    Victor’s face flushed with anger as he recalled the painful past, driving him to a point where he felt like

    choking both Lily and Jameson.


    “You damn fool,” Jameson muttered under his breath, turning away in frustration. He had no intention


    of


    bringing up the infidelity, as it only served as a painful reminder of Lily’s past.


    Every time he mentioned it, it reopened old wounds. It was purely coincidental that Victor had


    mentioned


    it in their heated argument.


    Jameson no longer wished for Victor to be disillusioned and realize the true nature of the other


    Schmidt children.


    He had grown indifferent to Victor’s opinions. He would send them all to hell for what they had done.

    The tension in the luxurious and quiet suite was palpable. Alyssa and Jasper found themselves tightly


    entwined, bathed in the soft glow of the room.


    Alyssa was breathless from his firm hold and struggled within his grasp. Her cheeks were ame with


    embarrassment.


    She threatened, “Let go now, or I’ll punch you!”


    Even in her anger, she managed to look cute.


    Jasper’s eyes glinted with desire.


    “Why not? You mean nothing to me,” she coldly retorted, though she felt a surge of electricity coursing


    through her, heightening her sensitivity.


    His eyes softened with affection. “In the end, I’m still … your savior.”


    Alyssa’s gaze wavered as she felt a burning sensation in her chest. He had saved her life once, but he


    didn’t know that she had also saved him on the battlefield.


    Jasper panicked when Alyssa fell silent, worried that he had overstepped. He decided to tone it down


    and yfully said, “I was wrong, Lyse. I’m nobody. I’m just your loyal pet dog.”


    She struggled to stifle augh. The typically arrogant Jasper Beckett had just dered that he wanted


    to be her pet, a statement that would leave the women of Sna City green with envy.


    “Since we’vee this far, why don’t you bark for me?” Alyssa yfully suggested something


    outrageous, both as a joke and as a form of revenge.


    She had no intention of getting involved with Jasper any further.


    “Woof, woof,” he responded, much to her shock.


    Worried that she might have missed it, he responded again, “Woof, woof.”


    His first attempt was humiliating, but he fully embraced the roley after the second attempt, which he


    found ridiculous as well.
