Jasper''s brief response was enough to prove the depth of his love for Alyssa.


    By then, Jonah and Alyssa had reconciled. After all, Jonah was as important as Jasper to Alyssa. It


    pained her to be angry at Jonah. All she desired was to fight against the Taylor family''s control.


    "But Jonah, why has David Schmidt been released on bail? Why hasn''t Winston taken any action?"


    She was worried.


    "That''s the reason I called." Taking a deep breath, Jonah gritted his teeth and revealed, "L discussed


    with Dad and decided to withdraw thewsuit in consideration of Tatiana and the family''s reputation."


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "They''re dropping thewsuit?" Alyssa and Jasper were astonished to hear that.


    "Yes. Otherwise, David wouldn''t have been released." Jonah sounded frustrated. "On top of that, the


    Schmidts had paid off the media to vindicate their son and portray him as the victim.


    "Even if we wanted to take action, we can''t do anything now that we''ve legally withdrawn thewsuit."


    "Is Winston senile? How could he sacrifice Taty''s dignity for the family''s reputation? We don''t need that


    reputation." Alyssa seethed with anger. "L is soft. This must be Winston''s idea. She must have been


    "Lyse, you''re mistaken." Jonah sighed. "L and Taty suggested it. Dad was vehemently against it. He


    wanted to teach the Schmidts a lesson. But L insisted on dropping thewsuit, leading to the worst


    argument with Dad. He had no choice but to grant her wish and swallow the humiliation."


    Alyssa, battling a fever, almost cked out upon hearing this. At that moment, she fumed at L''s


    ipetence.


    "Taty is an unmarried youngdy of the Taylor family. She mighte from an esteemed family, but the


    scandal will scar her reputation. Being at the center of gossip is surely distressing.


    "Moreover,izens are bing increasingly malicious, especially toward women. Taty will bear the


    brunt of the news, not that scoundrel." Jasper soothingly caressed Alyssa''s back and analyzed the


    situation calmly. "Lyse, don''t let L and Taty upset you. They made the decision based on these


    considerations."


    "Netizens are nothing more than a swarm of flies! As for the arrogant high-society members—why


    should we care about their opinions of Taty? They''re just a bunch of selfish individuals.


    "L and Taty belong to the Taylor family. Even the country''s president holds the KS Group in high


    regard. No one will dare to look down on my sister!" Anger red in her eyes.


    Jonah fell silent. Knowing Alyssa,forting her when she was angry was futile.


    Jasper patiently addressed Alyssa, "Lyse, you''re not wrong, but you forgot about something. Not


    everyone is as fearless as you are. Not all of them are as resilient as you."


    Stunned, she looked down dejectedly and clenched her fists. "Yes, you''re right, but I won''t let this slide.


    David Schmidt and his family will pay for what they did."


    "If we can''t hold them ountable through thew, we''ll take matters into our own hands," suggested


    Jasper.


    He squinted with a chilling grin on his lips. "It makes things easier."


    Alyssa closed her eyes and took a breath to calm herself. "Jonah, go to my room. You''ll find a file on


    myptop with evidence of Daisy''s husband''s corruption. Hand it over to Ss, and he''ll know what to


    do."


    Jasper and Jonah were shocked by her capability. In the two days she was grounded, she managed to


    fight against the Schmidts, quarrel with her family, pine for her lover, and even find the time to


    investigate Daisy Schmidt''s husband.


    She added, "I looked into Daisy Schmidt as well. She''s equally corrupt."
