Carl reached into his bag, pulling out a stic bag containing a syringe. He exined, “After reviewing


    the


    surveince footage, we discovered that David’s men were responsible.”


    Jameson smirked with half-closed eyes. “David is as malicious as Josh butcks Josh’s effectiveness.


    His methods are crude, always leaving behind evidence. A halfwit like him doesn’t deserve my time.”


    “But we can’t let this slide, can we? It would be too cowardly!” Carl gritted his teeth.


    Leaning back, Jameson enjoyed some shut-eye. “Of course not. I’ll make him pay for what he did to


    me.


    He broke my arm, so I’ll break his leg. That’s only fair, right?”


    Carl concurred, “Of course! You’re already showing mercy by not taking his life, all because he’s your

    brother!”


    Jameson thought, “David does not deserve to be called a brother.”


    He wagged his finger, stating, “If it were Lyse who got injured that day, I would have gotten rid of David


    Schmidt by now.”


    After taking a bath and applying skincare, Alyssa’s mood finally lifted.


    Miley called her from the outside. “Lyse, are you asleep?”


    “Not yet, Miley. Come on in!”


    Miley entered the room. Alyssa turned around while patting some cream on her face. Miley, with her


    radiant skin and dressed in a light blue silk nightdress, looked dazzling.


    “Wow! Herees the prettiest firstdy!”


    “Lyse, where did you get that golden horse from? It’s shining brighter than the lights in the courtyard.


    I’m


    nearly blinded,” Miley wondered.


    “Oh. It’s Jameson’s horse,” answered Alyssa, continuing her skincare.


    “Is that his horse, or did he give it to you as a gift?”


    “It’s his horse. He wanted to give it to me, but I refused.”


    “Horses are your favorite animal, and he wanted to give you a Golden Ausman Horse. It’s incredible


    that


    you’re able to resist the temptation. You seem really insistent on keeping your boundary with him,”


    She then mumbled to herself, “Good. I’m relieved.”


    Alyssa picked up on Miley’s remark and mused, “Miley, what was that? You’re relieved? But why?*


    “I can tell that he likes you a lot from the way he looks at you.”


    Upon hearing that, Alyssa felt a headacheing in. “I know. He’s confessed his love to me. What do I


    do? Is there a manual somewhere, like ‘How To Quit Being Charming’ or ‘How To Stop Men From


    Falling


    for You?


    “I have PTSD over rtionships. If this keeps going, I might have to be a nun.”


    “Why? Are you hurt because of Jasper Beckett?” teased Miley.


    “Nah. He can’t hurt me. He’s just an animal gone rogue. Ouch, that hurts!” Alyssa inadvertently


    increased


    her strength when she thought about Jasper, almost causing her face to swell from all the patting.


    “Colene is so happy to see the horse. She’s riding it in the courtyard right now,” Miley changed the topic


    of


    the conversation with augh.


    Alyssa shot up from the seat, eyes widening. “What? Is Colene riding it? I haven’t even gotten a


    chance to


    ride it!”


    “Just try it out. How could you give out millions worth of jewelry but feel reluctant to ride a horse?”
