?Chapter 2200


    Alyssa''s heart pounded fiercely. Damien had never liked the sea. He found its vastness and mystery unsettling, always leaving him feeling inexplicably depressed. He preferred towering mountains, enjoying the thrill of climbing to their peaks and their majestic view.


    Ironically, he lost his life to the sea, dying in a manner he had always dreaded. Additionally, Damien disliked


    eating fish, finding the process of removing bones tedious. Yet, whenever Alyssa had fish, he would patiently and carefully remove all the bones for her.


    He had got to be Damien.


    He must be.


    "Damien! I''m Lyse. Don''t you recognize me? Damien!" With tears in her eyes, Alyssa called out to him repeatedly to jog his memory.


    "You''ve got the wrong person, Ms. Alyssa." Remy couldn''t care less. He even felt that she was being noisy. "I am an orphan. I am on my own, so I don''t even have siblings.


    "Mr. Schmidt, one tends to hallucinate after facing the sea for a long time. You should get Ms. Alyssa''s head checked."


    Jameson tasked his people to take Alyssa back to her room.


    In the dining room, the two men, with vastly different dispositions, faced each other. Remy devoured his meal with gusto while Jameson, sitting across from him, looked pale and sinister. They seemed toe from different worlds.


    "How long are you staying here for?"


    "Until you get married." When Remy finished his meal, he straightened his back and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. He briefly exuded the air of a nobleman before returning to his cool demeanor. "If you and Ms. Alyssa can marry, I will leave this ce."


    With a gloomy gaze, Jameson asked, "And if we can''t?"


    Remy lowered his eyes, remaining silent as he took a leisurely sip of water.


    "You''ll take my fiancée away from me and bring her to Mr. Justin, won''t you?'' Jameson''s shoulders shook slightly beneath his suit.


    "If you truly love Ms. Alyssa, as you im, this is probably the best course of action," Remy replied.


    Remy stood up abruptly. "If you and Ms. Alyssa be husband and wife, you can forget what I said. Mr. Justin will give his blessings to both of you."


    With that, he turned and left without hesitation. Jameson watched his tall, proud figure, still carrying the remnants of his dashing demeanor as a flight captain.


    Jameson was stunned. All of a sudden, it all became clear to him.


    Justin was a cunning man, skilled at manipting people based on their personalities. He sent Remy here as a backup n and to stabilize Alyssa''s emotions. Would she still contemte running away with a ''Damien'' like this by her side? Would she still want to escape?


    Jasper and the Taylors searched tirelessly throughout Kontina for five days,bing through inds, coastal areas, and cities. Liam had also mobilized his resources to support their efforts. During the day, they surveyed the inds,rge and small, searching for any sign of Alyssa.


    But when night fell, darkness engulfed them. They couldn''t see thendscape, let alone search for people, and wild animals posed a constant threat. The situation was perilous.Content belong to N?velDráma. Org.


    Despite this, Jasper refused to retreat. He relentlessly searched for any trace of Alyssa. Time was of the essence. The thought of Alyssa being held captive by a monster like Jameson filled him with a sickening dread. He couldn''t allow himself to slow down, even for a moment.


    Cyrus and Liam were on the brink of copse, but Jasper kept pushing on. The others feared he''d copse before they even found Alyssa.


    On the sixth day, everyone, including Jasper, was utterly exhausted.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    "If we continue like this, we might even take a year to find her. We don''t have enough manpower. This isn''t enough to cover every corner of the country!" Liam mmed his fist on the map on the table in anger. Rage and hatred interweaved within him, and his eyes had turned red.


    After toiling for a few consecutive days, even Cyrus, a tough criminal investigator, developed a high fever. He relied on ibuprofen to keep going.


    It was too much. The search area was too vast, and they needed far more support. But this was Kontina, not Cyrris. Their resources were limited. Even as president, Jeremy needed the royal family''s approval to mobilize military troops.


    Just as they were at their wits'' end, Miley led a dainty, familiar, and beautiful woman into the room.
