"How about the ne?" Inigo asked.


    "You''ll just need to first retrieve the money. Once you''ve ascertained that you''re not being followed or


    chased, you can leave any time," Jameson chuckled. His gaze was cold.


    "Well, hurry up, then! I''m so done with this shithole!" Inigo couldn''t get used to the ce. Plus, he


    wasn''t able to go out in the open. He was already at his wits'' end.


    Jameson stepped on the white handkerchief and kneaded it with his shoe. "As long as you go along


    with my arrangements, I will make sure you have a smooth departure."


    The next morning, Alyssa and Jasper heard the shocking news—David was found dead in the shared


    bathroom at the detention center.


    They had heard that he died in a bizarre and horrifying manner. When he was discovered, rigor mortis


    had already set in. His face was puffed up and discolored.


    His cause of death was strangtion by the stainless steel shower hose, which was still wound around


    his neck when his body was discovered.


    It looked very much like a suicide.


    However, how could that be?


    He was still an able-bodied sane man. Why would hemit suicide out of the blue?


    A death happened in the detention center without anyone knowing. This would be humiliating news.


    The police informed the Schmidts of the news. Then, they transferred David''s body to the pathologist


    for an autopsy before making any further inferences.


    Cyrus ryed the situation to Alyssa and Jasper over the phone. After the call, neither Alyssa nor


    Jasper knew how they should react.


    Evidently, this wasn''t any devastating news. It was good news that the bastard had died.


    But who was it who wanted him dead?


    Even if he didn''t die, he would''ve had to spend the rest of his life rotting in prison. Who was it who


    couldn''t wait until a verdict was reached and wanted to eliminate him immediately?


    "The officers at the detention center contacted the Schmidt family. The funny thing was that both Victor


    and Josh kepting up with excuses.


    "Neither of them was willing to reim David''s body. They werepletely indifferent. In the end, they


    simply sent a secretary to settle things.


    "What a miserable end for the second son in the Schmidt family. How pitiful," Cyrus scoffed.


    It wasn''t that he sympathized with the Schmidts. He just felt that the Schmidts were such cold-hearted


    beings.


    "David isn''t the type of person to try to kill himself, Cyrus. I''m sure that he was murdered. This needs to


    be thoroughly investigated, no matter what. I have a feeling that there is something more. There''s a


    deeper and darker side to this."


    Alyssa and Jasper were seated on the couch. She was sitting between his legs while he had his arms


    wrapped around her waist.


    Jasper rested his chin by the side of her neck.


    She could feel the warmth and hear the sound of his low breathing in her ear. It tickled her, and it made


    her ears turn red.


    She shrugged and said, "Hey... Stop it. I''m having a serious conversation with Cyrus here."

    "I''m paying attention to your conversation too," he replied.


    Then, he couldn''t help it and started kissing her on her neck. Her fair skin was as soft as a baby''s skin.


    In an instant, a love bite appeared on her neck.


    Her breathing became unsteady. She let out a soft moan.


    "Hey, hey! Pay attention, the both of you! I don''t want to be hearing anything indecent." Cyrus was also


    a hot-blooded man. He couldn''t stand hearing the sounds from the other end of the call.


    Alyssa and Jasper sure could find pleasure in their intimacy, but he didn''t even have a partner. This


    was physical and mental torture to him.


    "Let''s just go with Lyse''s proposal, Cyrus." Jasper spoke into the receiver in a warm voice, "The person


    who killed David is sophisticated. This may be our chance to apprehend them, including the


    mastermind."


    "I wish that we could do so too. However, it''s not as easy as it sounds."


    Cyrus responded in a serious tone, "The culprit is very experienced. They chose to strike in the shared


    bathroom as that is the only ce in the detention center where there are no surveince cameras


    installed.


    "Also, his approach was cruel yet professional. He chose to use the tools avable on the spot and left


    nothing behind. All the water has washed any fingerprints and footprints away.


    "It''s possible that the murderer is another criminal at the detention center. He could also be one of the


    guards. I would go so far as to say that they may not have acted alone.


    "It could''ve been anyone who came in contact with David. This isn''t a small scope that we''re talking


    about. There are too many factors. It''s difficult to search for evidence and investigate."


    Alyssa lifted her hand and pressed it against Jasper''s mouth to prevent him from getting ahead of


    himself.


    She said, "Rather than identifying the perpetrator, I think that the more important thing to do now is to


    identify the motive of the murder. David was about to be sentenced. There was no escape for him.


    "Who would be willing to take such a risk to set him up and have him killed? That was a highly risky


    move. What were they hoping to achieve out of this?"
