Chapter 325
The hall fell into a deep silence. There was a shift in the air.
Alyssa turned around and looked into Jameson’s eyes with surprise. David’s face fell at
Jameson calling her nickname.
Winston looked at his dear daughter before turning to Jameson. Still, he calmly remarked,
“Oh, did you pick up Lyse? Sorry to trouble you.”
“It’s nothing, Uncle Winston.”
Silas nudged Jonah and whispered, “When did Lyse become so friendly with Jameson? Why
didn’t I know about it?”
“Does she need to share every detail with you?” Jonah replied carelessly.
“Did you know about them?”
“Yes.”
“Are you freaking boasting about it?”
“I made Jameson pick her up.”
Silas let out an audible gasp. “How could you push our dear sister into the arms of a
random man? You don’t even know if he can be trusted. What if he were ill-intentioned
and laid his fingers on her on the way

“Him falling for Lyse is normal. Even gay men would fall for her charm. You don’t have to
worry about her safety, though.” Jonah joked, “if Jameson had been acting inappropriately,
he wouldn’t have stood here
unharmed.”
That was true After all, Jonah and Axel had been training Alyssa in martial combat while

“Lyse, be honest. What’s going on between you and Jameson?” Colene wrapped an arm
around Alyssa’s waist and went straight to the point.
“Friends, I guess,” Alyssa replied honestly.
“Is he your boyfriend?” Colene asked excitedly.
“Just a male friend!” Alyssa was speechless.
“Eh! Men and women are never ‘just friends’! He’ll be your boyfriend soon!” Colene
pinched Alyssa on the waist and proudly exclaimed, “When I saved your dad after he was
blacklisted in Northuis by his rivals, he claimed that I was his ‘bro’. Guess what? We’re
married now!”
Alyssa was dumbfounded at Colene’s unworldliness. Mandy and Lyla exchanged glances.
They weren’t upset in the slightest. Rather, they found the conversation quite amusing. 1
Without Colene, Winston would have been obliterated in Belbanks. Till now, Colene bore
the two gunshot scars back from the time she shielded Winston.
“Lyse, it would be nice to date Jameson. You came from similar backgrounds, and your
fathers are good friends. The Schmidts will treat you well.” Lyla drifted into a daydream.
“Not to mention, Jameson is quite the looker! Your future children would be so good-

“Wait, why are we suddenly talking about kids? What’s all this nonsense?” Alyssa thought
her stepmoms were going off track.
“Lyla, I still believe that there’s more to consider when it comes to Lyse’s potential
husband,” Mandy, always the voice of reason, furrowed her brow and analyzed the
situation.
She continued, “From what I’ve gathered, Jameson recently returned from Kontina. He has
only a small stake and limited support within the Schmidt Group.
“Victor sent Jameson’s mother abroad under the pretense of rehabilitation and rarely paid
her attention. Jameson might appear to be a good, match, but in reality, Lyse would be
marrying down.
“I even worry that he might be setting his eyes on Lyse’s dowry. Or maybe he’ll leverage
her influence to rise in the Schmidt Group.”
“Oh my, Mandy, you’re absolutely right. We need to be careful,” said Colene, who was
immediately swayed.
“You’d compare prices when you shop, so why not marriage? It is a serious matter. It is
better to remain
single if you can’t find the right candidate. Would you reconsider David?”
Alyssa struggled to talk her way out. She covered her ears in frustration as she drowned in
the nagging of
