Jasper caressed Alyssa's head with a doting look. "Jameson might appear to have succeeded with ease, but we alone are aware of the people he sacrificed and the lengths he went to achieve his position." Alyssa gulped and squinted at him. "From the sounds of it, you seem quite understanding of Jamiper's trials and tribulations."

He smiled helplessly. "No, that's not true. I'm merely taken aback by his ruthlessness."

"He eliminated the three Schmidt siblings to claim the presidency of the Schmidt Group he desired. I shudder to think of his next move," Alyssa sighed, massaging her forehead.

"He's insatiable. Merely being president isn't enough for him. His end goal is to replace Victor as the chairman and rule over the entire company." He placed an arm around her waist and pulled her closer with a brooding look in his eyes.

Jasper continued, "That's why Jameson Schmidt will not stop. He will be making his next move. As long as he's up to no good, he will give himself away, and we will have evidence against him."

"Still, I'm worried." She leaned against his chest as a sense of unease gnawed at her. "Jameson was already capable of creating trouble when he first joined the Schmidt Group. With more power now, I fear he may come down harder on you and my family."

"Try me." Looking angered, Jasper gritted his teeth. "If he so much as harms Winston, you, or any of your brothers, I'll make him regret it.

"I haven't forgotten how he targeted Jonah on Shelland Island. He should wait for his imminent demise." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Alyssa let out a soft sigh and locked her fingers with his. She felt sorry for Jasper. His concern for her safety and her family's well-being overshadowed his own near-fatal experience of protecting her on Shelland Island.

She vowed to make Jameson pay for what he had done.

Since Mandy and Julien's late-night conversation, an uneasy atmosphere had settled over Heightsnew Villa, affecting the dynamic between Julien and Jonah.

Julien was as stubborn as a donkey. After Mandy requested that he leave, he went against her wishes and silently protested by sticking around.

Jonah seemed busy lately. He worked into the night at his office at KS Group. Julien would wait for him at home from morning until late at night.

When Jonah arrived home, he always showed up with Clark or Sean by his side. On the rare occasions when Jonah was alone, Julien attempted to engage him in conversation, only to be met with a slammed bedroom door.

Feeling rejected and ignored, Julien spent many lonely nights smoking by the window until dawn. Dark circles formed under his eyes, and his complexion turned pasty.

Jonah wasn't exactly the most passionate man in the past, but he was acting utterly cold and unresponsive now.

Julien found it difficult to accept their relationship had returned to the starting point when he had just finally managed to get Jonah to warm up to him.

Jonah left his bedroom with a serious face, having dressed for the day. He immediately bumped into Julien.

Julien's voice cracked from nervousness. "Jonah!"

Jonah stopped dead in his tracks. He glared at Julien, asking, "Why are you here?"

"I've been waiting at your door ever since you got home last night," Julien replied, his eyes bloodshot and his lips parched. "What's going on? Why are you shutting me out?"
