Chapter 330

Winston grew stern like he was at the court. "Lyse only eats the shrimps peeled by you and me. She has never allowed any other men to serve her!

"That Jameson fellow was overly passionate toward her. He almost hand-fed her the food, and she did not seem resistant. Tell me, what's their relationship? Has Lyse fallen for him?"

"Dad, you don't sound like you like Jameson," Jonah pointed out. Winston responded with a silent pout. "Jameson and Lyse have known each other since childhood, and they get along well after reuniting. It was rare to see her getting along with someone from the opposite sex.

"On top of that, we are family friends with the Schmidts. It will be good news if they end up with each other," Jonah calmly explained his rationale.

"You know uncle Victor's agenda for this visit. He intended to set up a marriage between the Schdmits and the Taylors. Why else would he have brought his two single sons along? He had his eyes on Lyse!" Winston stared at the ground and shook his head. "But I will not agree to the marriage." (1

Jonah and Silas's expressions fell when they heard their father's words. They were shocked at Winston's

aversion to the Schmidts.

"Did you and Uncle Victor have a falling out? Did you two block each other on WhatsApp?" Silas playfully teased Winston with a thumbs-up gesture. "You really are something else! Look at you, chatting happily with him even after a fight. I couldn't have done that."

"How did you end up as a prosecutor with that pea brain of yours? Did you get in from the back door using my name?" Winston impatiently rolled his eyes at Silas and said gruffly, "I will not feed my beloved daughter to the wolves after she's just freed herself from the Becketts!

"You think the Schmidts are living in paradise? They're notorious for their internal conflicts. The four

Schmidt siblings are quite problematic. If Lyse were to marry into their family, she'd likely find herself caught up in their infighting.

"And let's not forget about Jameson, who happens to be Victor's least favored son. He may have a sprawling overseas business, but it's possible he gained prominence through brute force. There could be some shady dealings going on behind the scenes.

"It's not impossible that he might use his marriage to Lyse as a way to clean up his company and establish a foothold in this country."

Silas stared agape at his father while Jonah looked at his feet and pursed his lips with guilt. He was too

"I don't mind offering my daughter's hand in marriage to uplift her in-law's family, but she should not sacrifice herself in doing so!"

A Bentley ferried Victor and Jameson back to Solana City, which was a rare move by Victor. David had gone back to Solana City separately in his car.

Victor and Jameson sat in the backseat in an oppressive silence, bound by their family ties but not much

else.

"Tell me, Jimmy. What's the state of your relationship with Alyssa?" Victor demanded to know.

"Are you taking an interest in my love life?" Jameson looked amused. "You never checked in on me and

Mom in the 15 years we lived in Kontina. Now that I'm back in Solana City, you seem extremely interested in my activities."

"Do not change the topic. I am asking you about your relationship with Alyssa Taylor!" Victor brimmed

with anger.

"As you can tell from tonight's dinner, I share a close relationship with her." Jameson's eyes gleamed as he smirked.

Victor took a deep breath, his temples throbbing. He ordered, "Stop getting in touch with her! Stay away

from her."

"Why?" Jameson inquired, a smile playing on his lips.

"She's my handpicked candidate for David's wife. You will only disrupt my plans if you interfere."

"Am I not your son too? She'll be your daughter-in-law regardless of who she marries. What's the issue

here?"

"My decision is final. David must marry Lyse. If you would also like to marry a Taylor, Winston has an unmarried younger daughter named Tatiana. She's the daughter of Lyla, Winston's third wife..."

"Your least favorite son only deserves the daughter of Uncle Winston's third wife. Is that what you mean?" Jameson wore a mocking smile on his lips.

"Jameson, enough of this nonsense!" Victor's anger flared. "You shouldn't covet what's meant for David.

I'll give you what you rightfully deserve, so don't lay claim to things that aren't intended for you."

"I've heard that since I was a boy but never received anything."

Jameson closed his eyes with a smile. "I'm tired of your empty promises. Tell David not to fret about it. Lyse is mine and only mine. No one can take her away from me."
