Chapter 825


    Alyssa remarked, “David lost a leg. He wouldn’t frame you so tantly.”


    Through gritted teeth, Jameson exined, “David is just a pawn for Josh. He’s been involved in various


    underhanded activities orchestrated by Josh.


    “David has umted numerous enemies in Sna City, and plenty of people would seize the


    opportunity to retaliate against him. Besides, what happened to him today, he brought upon himself.”


    Then, he disclosed everything that happened at the racecourse to Alyssa.


    “If there’s anyone with sinister motives, it’s David!”


    Alyssa stared at him calmly.


    “Lyse, I’ve never given much weight to the Schmidt family. If I were to take action against them, I


    wouldn’t resort to such crude methods. It doesn’t align with my taste.”


    Jameson adjusted his posture, raising the coffee cup and taking a sip, projecting confidence and


    refinement.


    Having forsaken his conscience to survive with his mother in Kontina for 15 years, he had be


    adept at putting on a performance, crafting each lie to be as convincing as possible.


    Even in the sincerity of his love for a woman, he found himself instinctively resorting to deception time


    and time again.

    Lies could be virtuous or malicious, but he was confident that all the lies he told Alyssa were driven by


    good intentions-a manifestation of his love..


    Alyssa fixed her gaze on him, the sharp intensity of her eyes causing even someone as strong-willed


    and ruthless as Jameson to feel a twinge in his heart.


    “Jimmy, honesty and kindness matter to me. It’s not aboutcking trust in you. I simply hope that you


    maintain a sincere andpassionate heart, regardless of the future, just as you did in our childhood.


    Jameson’s fingers, resting on the table, curled inwardly. His heart tightened, and a wave of shame-


    induced pain washed over him,


    He weakly lifted the corner of his lips, grabbed a fork, took a substantial bite of cake, and chewed


    forcefully.


    Jameson reflected in silence. Much like his all-epassing love for Lyse, he acknowledged that


    After parting with Jameson, Alyssa felt a mix of emotions for some reason.


    At this moment, Jonah’s call came in. She snapped out of her thoughts and quickly answered the call.


    “Jonah.”


    “Lyse, Axel has managed to get what


    “What is it?” Alyssa asked, puzzled.


    “Julien Lovce.” you wanted.”


    Alyssa coughed, nearly choking on her saliva upon hearing that.


    “Axel has put in a lot of effort to bring him back to Sna City. When you see him tonight, you’d better


    thank him properly.”


    “Axel will be back tonight, too? That’s great! I miss him so much!” Alyssa rubbed her eyes, and her


    voice choked up a bit.


    Perceptive as always, Jonah quickly picked up on Alyssa’s emotions and said, “My bad. Axel nned


    to keep his return a surprise for you, but I got carried away and identally let it slip.”


    “Jonah, I don’t need surprises. I just want everyone to be with me.”


    However, she knew it was difficult.


    “Lyse, are you in Sna City, at the hospital where David is?”


    “Yeah.”


    “I’lle pick you up.”


    “No need, Jonah. I can’t go back for now.”


    “It’s not just my idea. It’s also Dad’s.”


    Jonah’s tone grew somber as he continued, “Dad said you’ve helped Mr. David with his leg, and you


    done your duty. There’s no need to worry about it anymore.


    “Also, their family must be in chaos because of this incident. Although we have a good rtionship,


    avoiding suspicion is better now. So Dad asked me to bring you back.”


    In the next moment, he was thoroughly surprised!


    In the car’s back seat, a tall man over six feet was lying horizontally, hands and feet bound. His mouth


    was tightly taped shut, and the only sounds he could make were muffled protests.


    He looked both resentful and pitiful.


    Jonah wondered if that man was Julien Lovce.


    Jonah stood in surprise for a moment before he crouched down. He braced himself with his left arm on


    the seat and removed the tape from Julien’s mouth with his right hand.


    Julien struggled to catch his breath.


    His captivating fox-like visage was adorned with a subtle sheen of sweat, lending him an enchanting


    androgynous allure.


    His skin resembled premium porcin, boasting a wless and fairplexion. The allure of his


    captivating appearance was entuated by his rosy, soft lips, surpassing the beauty of most women.


    Yet, what captivated Jonah the most were those doe-like eyes.


    From the depths of his ck pupils, he glimpsed a long-lost, pristine soul that never failed to stir his


    spirit and body, regardless of the passage of time.


    As their eyes locked, time appeared to freeze.


    “Hey, why did you pull so hard? Do you realize you’ve hurt my face?” Julien red at Jonah in irritation,


    yet his eyes seemed transfixed on this handsome face, unable to look away.


    “Sorry,” Jonah genuinely apologized.


    “Hurry up and untie me!”


    Julien kicked his legs.


    “The blood in my whole body can’t circte! I’m suffocating!”


    “No, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”


    “What?”


    “Wait for Axel toe and release you.”


    Jonah locked eyes with him, and a faint smile yed on his lips.


    “If you run away, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch you. The person who tied you up should be the one


    to untie you, right?”
