Cornelius thought, “The Taylors should count their blessings. If it were someone else who pped Zoe,


    they’d be in serious trouble.”

    Jonah fixed his gaze on Zoe. Despite not saying a word, he induced fear in Zoe, who promptly leaned


    closer to Penelope.


    L released Winston’s arm and hurriedly reached for Alyssa’s hand. ” Lyse, are you okay? Are you


    hurt anywhere?”


    Penelope and Zoe looked incredulous upon hearing L’s words.


    “I’m fine, L. Don’t worry,” Alyssa reassured L.


    “Lyse, I don’t believe that you pped her. We trust your character, even if the outsiders don’t,” L


    expressed her trust in Alyssa while shooting daggers at Zoe.


    Meanwhile, Winston pressed his lips and frowned. He looked at


    Alyssa with mixed emotions. He wasn’t concerned at all about the possibility of Alyssa beating up Zoe.


    After all, Alyssa had always been cheeky and sassy from a young age.


    What bothered him was the fallout from the incident and the potential damage to Alyssa’s reputation.


    For Alyssa to take over the Taylor Group, she needed to establish a positive public image or risk


    bing a target during the handover.


    “Mr. Cornelius, Madam Penelope, did you witness anything at all? You have to back up your ims,


    you know,” a clear andposed voice intervened.


    The speaker’s tone was calm yet carried a certain authority.

    “What do you mean, Mr. Jameson? Are you saying that Zoe lied to frame Alyssa?” Cornelius

    Jameson stood before Alyssa and stared at her tenderly, eliciting excited gasps from the crowds.


    “Long before this, Mr. Jameson had expressed his interest in Ms. Alyssa at the charity auction!”


    “No shit, Sherlock. Just look at the way he stares at her. He even defended her against the Harpers.


    He’s made it very clear.”


    “I wonder Winston Taylor’s thoughts about the president of Beckett Group versus the Schmidt


    princeling”


    “I would pick Mr. Jameson. At least, he seems rtively scandal-free, unlike Jasper Beckett and his


    involvements with Liana Gardner and now Zoe Harper. Who knows if he’ll be cheating on Ms. Alyssa


    with another woman in the future? If I were a parent, I’d never allow my daughter to marry him!”,


    Zoe faltered under Jameson’s gaze and grasped Penelope’s arm tightly. Though she hadn’t spoken to


    Jameson before, he seemed familiar.


    The overwhelming fear nearly suffocated her.


    Penelope hugged Zoe tightly and hissed in fury, “Mr. Jameson, are you suggesting that Zoe framed


    Alyssa? How could you victim-me after my daughter has been roughed up? I know your family is


    close with the Taylors, but you shouldn’t speak up for the bullies.”


    Zoe wore a pitiful expression, but underneath, she grappled with guilt and fear. She had done her


    research and knew the corridor had no
