Jameson pursed his lips at the sound of Justin''s name. A cold gleam shed across his eyes.


    "It''s alright. Lyse is cheeky and headstrong. I don''t want to pursue it further." Jameson closed his eyes once again to take a rest.


    Carl was floored.


    Alyssa had caused so much trouble. She had almost turned Schmidt Group upside down and ruined Jameson''s reputation.


    Jameson, however, merely described her as "cheeky" and "headstrong" and was going to let it go? It was so obvious that he was head over heels in love!


    "Not wanting to implicate Lyse is only one side of the story. Another thing would be that if the police were to investigate this further, it would not be beneficial to us either."


    Upon hearing that, Carl breathed a quiet sigh of relief.


    This was the Jameson Schmidt whom he knew. He was a cold and rational person who would put his interests first.


    "Now that things havee to this, we need to handle Nichs as soon as possible. Otherwise, I''m sure that it wouldn''t take long for Lyse and Jasper to find out about his connection to me."


    The tinge of gentleness vanished from Jameson''s eyes. Gradually, his gaze became sinister. "When that happens, I won''t be as lucky as I was today."


    "Got it!"


    Carl observed Jameson. Hesitantly, he said in a low voice, "Oh, right. Also, isn''t it your birthday today, Mr. Schmidt?


    "A few days ago, Ms. Altman carefully chose a birthday present specially for you. It''s at The Millennium. She hoped that she could present it to you in person."


    Jameson raised his brows. In an icy voice, he asked, "You allowed her to go out?"


    "Please don''t worry! I was with her the whole way and watched her the entire time. She returned to The Millennium once she bought your gift. Nothing unusual happened along the way!" Carl quickly exined. "I''d say that she''s a smart woman if she has trulye to her senses," Jamesonmented rxedly.


    At the same time, Jasper, Alyssa and Cyrus were feeling troubled.


    "I can''t believe that evil prevailed over good. He managed to strut out in less than two days. It''s disgusting!"


    Alyssa''s eyes reddened with anger.


    She was about to m her fist on the coffee table when Jasper wrapped his hands around her fist.


    He held her hand tightly and put it on his chest.


    "You can be angry, but don''t hurt yourself, Lyse. You can hit me if you need somewhere to vent your anger."ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    "Wouldn''t that make my heart break and angry at the same time? I''ll feel even worse!"


    Alyssa threw herself into Jasper''s arms. She nuzzled her head against his chest like an angry kitten while grasping at his shirt''s hem. Jasper''s eyes were full of affection. He put his hands around her waist and allowed her to release her anger all she wanted.


    "Enough with the PDA! We should think about what to do next!" Cyrus shook his head continuously. He couldn''t bear to watch them. He was no longer in the mood to entertain their affection for one another in public.


    "I''m afraid that we won''t be able to do anything to Jameson for now."


    Jasper pinched the nape of Alyssa''s neck gently. In a deep voice, he added, "We''ll need to try again with a different approach."


    "We have alerted the enemy now.


    Jamiper will surelyy down arms for the moment and not take any


    action." Cyrus sighed, "It''s really


    such a pity that we didnt


    deliver a heavy blow to him time!" .


    "It''s true that we have alerted the enemy, but he might noty down armspletely!"


    Alyssa gritted her teeth. Her gaze burned withpetitiveness. "This incident has set off rm bells for him. A conservative approach won''t cut it. He''s bound to strike again to tie up these loose ends!"
