Xavier fell silent once more.
Jasper took a deep breath and lowered his gaze. “I’ll make it up to her, little by little.”

Silas was drenched in sweat as he sat in the study. His fingers typed furiously on the keyboard to track.
down the user information from the leaker’s account that Alyssa gave her.
Meanwhile, Alyssa lounged on the couch and clinked glasses with Jonah, savoring the high-quality red
wine he had brought along.
“Hey, that’s too much!” Mouth dry, Silas protested, “Am I here at night to work for free? Look at you,

drinking wine and enjoying life. Is this how you treat a prosecutor?”
Silas realized they showed no sympathy, so he added meekly, “Please save some for me.”
“Silas, stay focused on your work. If you succeed, I’ll reward you with everything from

to typing on the keyboard.
Jonah interjected, “Alyssa, Dad has heard about what happened.”
“Winston’s always the first to learn about all the bad news, huh? Is he laughing at me behind my back?”
Alyssa’s mood soured, and she lost interest in the good wine. She folded her legs and pouted gloomily.
“He did indeed have a good laugh at your expense,” Jonah remarked with a scoff as he playfully

installment of The Deadly March. The production team finally reached him through some connections
and invited him to invest in the film.”
Jonah leaned forward with a cryptic grin. “Dad told me this in private. If you’re still upset, he can always

on
the screen out of the corner of her eye.
“Ah, a call from your ex-husband,” Jonah teased with a grin.
“Yeah, it’s like a scene out of The Ring.” Alyssa replied, turning her phone screen down, determined to

He’s right outside!”
The doorbell echoed in the villa at the same time.
