"Lyse, Jasper, I have new updates on the Schmidt Group," Jonah announced.


    Upon hearing that, L nced at Alyssa and sensibly said, "Taty and I will leave the kitchen now."


    "It''s fine, L. We''re family. There''s nothing to be kept secret." Alyssa''s expression grew serious.


    "Jonah, go ahead."


    Sean''s ears perked up as well. Alyssa had ordered him to focus on recovery and his rtionship with


    Tatiana ever since he got severely injured by Jeffrey and nearly lost his left arm from being beaten up


    by the Schmidts'' men. She had refused to involve him in other affairs since.


    However, after years of working with Jonah in the business field andter serving Alyssa, Sean


    remained passionate and loyal. He had no interest in fancy titles or handsomepensation, only


    wishing to be of use to Alyssa and Jonah.


    Sean had not worked on anything important after Sophia''s case came to a close, which made him feel


    a little empty inside.


    "Lyse, remember that Tsulu holiday resort project that Josh took away from me? After the project


    commenced, issues immediately surfaced," Jonah said with an icy look in his eyes.

    "I know about that. There is a vige housing ten or so families on the sole route to the holiday resort,


    no? Its existence will be a headache fornd-use nning unless the Schmidt Group is able to


    bulldoze the vige and make the vigers move away." Alyssa calmly worked on the ravioli with a


    smirk on her lips.


    She added, "But I guess things aren''t that straightforward, right? The Tsulian authorities would have


    gotten rid of the vigers instead of sneakily hiding the fact otherwise. If they disced the vigers,


    thend''s value could shoot up by another one billion dors."


    Sean nodded in agreement while Tatiana directed an admiring look at Alyssa. It was no wonder Sean


    was once in love with Alyssa so much that he''d risk his life for her. Tatiana thought that she would have


    done the same for Alyssa if she were a man.


    In contrast, she thought of herself as timid and unremarkable, believing it was her honor to have


    received Sean''s affection.


    "Lyse was right." Jasper fixed a tender gaze on Alyssa and carefully ced another oddly shaped


    ravioli on the chopping board. "I ran an investigation and found out that the vige has been around for


    two centuries.


    "It''s considered a historical and cultural heritage. Bulldozing it to build a holiday resort will lead to public


    outrage. Of course, the government dare not do it so openly."


    Jonah gave her a light nod. "That''s why someone has gotten ahead of themselves and privately


    kickstarted the process."


    The news left Alyssa and Jasper shocked. "Did Josh Schmidt go ahead with the demolition? When was


    that?" "It happenedst night. He did it at midnight. Some of the vigers were in their sleep when the


    houses copsed on them, which led to multiple injuries." Jonah''s expression hardened. "This incident


    happened abroad, and the Schmidt Group immediately silenced the media.


    "Even if the Cyrrisian media received the news, they might keep a lid on it due to the Schmidts''


    influence in the country."


    Jasper questioned sternly, "Jonah, are there any deaths?"


    Jonah replied, "None so far."


    "If so, the Schmidts can still keep the news a secret." Jasper had a chilling look in his eyes. "It will only


    be a serious problem if there are deaths. That''s the only time when the Schmidts will not be able to


    keep the news under wraps."


    "Do they think they''re so invincible that they could wreak havoc abroad without blinking an eye?"


    Alyssa mmed her fist on the table, hammering a piece of ravioli into t dough.


    She continued, "Is there really no media that would report on that? Don''t forget that the KS Group owns


    the ''3 o''Clock News.'' They shall wait for what happens at 3:00 pm tomorrow!"


    Hearing that, L shook her head and broke her silence. "The Schmidt kids are pretty unruly, aren''t


    they? I thought they would behave better after lying low for a while."


    Sean was equally furious. "Old habits die hard."


    Alyssa raised a brow in amusement. "The Schmidt kids are fighting each other, and the head of the


    family is himself corrupted. Nothing goodes out of the Schmidt family."


    After a pause, Jasper tightened his grip on her hand. He said, "I''ll send my men to monitor the activities


    in Tsulu. You''ll definitely provoke Josh after the news expose, and he''ll make a move to quell the


    scandal."
