"Lyse, what''s on your mind?" Jasper questioned, visibly concerned.
Landon and Angelina cast worried looks at her.
"Xavier made a great point there. We all know Jameson is cunning and ruthless. He could well get rid
of Inigo Montiye discreetly, and that''s something he has been working on, but his weapon of choice has
just been delivered."
When Landon and the others were trying to grasp the meaning behind her words, things clicked for
Jasper.
Jasper asked, "Are you referring to the private jet?"
She nodded hard. Her eyes were filled with worry. "Jameson can''t hurt Inigo Montiye on the ground;
dealing with his enemy in the air is easier. Besides, once he flies Inigo Montiye out of Cyrris, we can''t
stop him anymore. He could do anything he wanted to that guy."
That was a terrible yet brilliant move by Jameson.
Looking agape at Alyssa and pping like a seal, Landon praised, "Lyse, you''re smart! You''re godlike!"
"Stop ttering me. Think of a solution now," urged Alyssa, who felt a burden on her chest.
"Xavier, from now on, get more men to keep track of the movements of Jameson''s private jet. If he
makes a move, we''ll need to stop him," Jasper hissed with an icy demeanor.
"Got it, Mr. Beckett!"
Jasper Beckett was once a haughty scion with high social standing, but before Alyssa, he was just a
strategist and right-hand man who''d willingly submit himself to her service.
"What if we can''t stop him? What if the jet takes off? We can''t possibly shoot at it!" Landon threw out an
absurd-sounding question with a serious face.
"Inigo Montiye is a wanted man in both Cyrris and Tsulu. I''ll reach out to Liam and Cyrus. The military
and the police will work on the case together." Grinning proudly, she proimed, "Even if Inigo Montiye
takes off, I have a way to get him!"
Landon, Jasper, and Xavier cast admiring looks at her.
Daisy Schmidt had gone to prison, and David was under arrest. As Jasper had described, Josh lost

both support pirs and walked on thin ice.
On top of that, Josh had to use up his wealth from years of illegal business deals in Kontina to stabilize
the Schmidt Group''s stock price. Due to his efforts, he started gaining Victor''s trust, leading to a
growing faction in thepany loyal to him. Part of the upper management and shareholders gradually
lent their support to him.
Life was getting tough for Josh, but he wasn''t about to give up. No matter what, he would never allow
Jameson, the bastard child of the Schmidt Family, to ride over him.
Therefore, he devised a n to reduce David''s sentence. David had always been Victor''s favorite, as
he had lived with Victor the longest and was adept at ingratiating himself with their father, Victor.
Understandably, David''s arrest dealt a massive blow to Victor.
Josh met up with Victor and consoled Victor. "Dad, don''t worry about it. Sexual assault isn''t that big of a
crime. All we have to do is pull a few strings, and David will be out in a few years."
"A few years? Do you take me as a fool?" Although Victor was heavily embarrassed by David''s nudity
on TV, he worried himself to death for his beloved second son. As a result, his hair had greyed.
Victor snapped, "There were minors among the women he assaulted! Minors! He''ll be locked away for
at least ten years for that. Of all the women he could sleep with, why would hey a finger on kids?
He''s an idiot!"
After a pause, Josh said in a grave tone, "You''re right on one thing. Our family is as important as the
Becketts in Sna City. We''re one of the four distinguished families. Were those women whom he
assaulted truly innocent without any ulterior motive?"
Victor frowned. "Josh, what do you mean?"
"Some of those women he allegedly raped were his exes, and some were escorts for hire. A few even
initiated the contact—they were calctive women who nned to marry into wealth.
"The police might hold part of the evidence, but they had no witness. Their so-called witnesses are
unreliable. When the case is brought to court, they won''t have anything against David. That''ll reduce
David''s sentence."
Victor, a seasoned businessman himself, did not need Josh toy it out before he grasped the idea.
Satisfied with Josh''s arrangement, he cast a serious and expectant look on his son. "Josh, I''ll leave this
to you. Let''s go ahead with the n."
