Alyssa was appalled. She could not wrap her head around the fact that the criminal Jeremy had


    mentioned was the same gentleman who took great care of her. Jameson turned out to be a real-life


    Jekyll and Hyde. =


    “Not only that, Jameson Schmidt once attempted to rig the presidential elections.” Miley looked


    traumatized when she recalled the incident and gripped Jermey’s hand tightly. “He resorted to


    underhanded tactics to manipte the narrative around Jeremy.


    “Thankfully, Jeremy’s opponents did not manage to find dirt on him because he had a clean record.


    Otherwise, Jeremy would be behind bars by now.”


    Inhaling sharply, Alyssa turned cold from head to toe. She eximed” Since when has Jameson turned


    into a monster? How did he …”


    “Kontina’s society is prettyplex. As Jameson is not a local, had to y dirty to establish himself.


    After all, the primitive umtion of capital alwayses with violence.


    “Nevertheless, he has crossed a line. If he does not observe basic societal rules, what different is he


    from an animal?” Jeremy seethed. when he thought about the cat-and-mouse games with Jameson


    and the few asions where he nearly fell into Jameson’s trap.


    Alyssa stumbled backward, her expression nk. She struggled toprehend the extent of


    Jameson’s duplicity, given how he had expertly hidden all his evil behind a smiling face.


    “That’s why Jameson was the first suspect that crossed my mind when Jonah told us that someone in


    Sna City was colluding with the Tsulian military.” Miley cast a heavy look at Alyssa. “Anyway, it’s still


    a guess. We don’t have evidence against him, but it won’t hurt to


    “Lyse, I know it’s hard to ept the truth as a loyal friend of his. Loyalty aside, all Jeremy and I wanted


    was for you to stay safe.”


    “I am loyal, but I want justice too.” Alyssa looked at the floor.


    When she looked up again, her eyes shone with determination. “Sure, he might have lived a difficult life


    abroad, but that was not an excuse to hurt others for personal gain..


    “Anyway, given our longtime friendship, I hope I could hear the confession straight from Jameson’s


    mouth.”


    “Mr. Schmidt, you have to help a brother out!” Inigo begged.


    Inigo learned that the king had issued a decree to arrest him, and Miguel, the witness, had been


    subjected to tight supervision the he military could not reach him. Anxious, he rushed to The Millenn


    meet with Jameson, hoping for a solution out of the trouble.


    “And how am I supposed to help you?” Jameson swirled the red in the ss and set his eyes on Inigo.


    “The Tsulian royalty wants y arrested. I am not even a Tsulian to start with. How can I even hel you?”


    “Things wouldn’t have ended up like this if you hadn’t asked me to assassinate Jasper Beckett and


    Jonah Taylor. Are you going to go. back on your word now?”


    “You didn’t do it to help me. All you wanted was to take credit to impress your superiors,” Jameson


    pointed out with a snicker.


    Burning in rage, Inigo had an urge to beat Jameson up. It was too bad. he was on Jameson’s turf. He


    might not have left the club alive if heid a finger on Jameson.


    “Hmph! I knew you would trick me! Did you really think I don’t have a card up my sleeve?” Inigo gritted


    his teeth and threatened Jameson, You know what? I have a recording of our little chat. Say, what


    would your dear Ms. Alyssa think of you if she learned that you attempted to assassinate her brother?


    Your rtionship with her would be done for good!”


    With that, Inigo made a throat-slitting gesture at Jameson. A shocked and malicious glint shed


    across Jameson’s eyes.From N?velDrama.Org.
