Alyssa's eyelashes cast a shadow under the light as she lowered her head.
Back then, she thought Jameson was genuinely concerned for her father. Now, she felt he had ulterior
motives.
He was willing to murder her sister and brother-in-law. Her father was nothing, but another body count
to him.
Jameson was a vicious man all along.
He desired her so badly. However, he was unwilling to mess with her before getting her and fulfilling his
desire.
"My dad is fine. He is as vigorous as a tiger."
A cold smile hung on Alyssa's face. "He doesn't say no to food, though. His stomach isn't the strongest
and often gives him problems. He probably had a craving, ate something he shouldn't, and had a
stomachache. You don't need to worry about it. Go home."
"Really? But I saw how terrible Uncle Winston looked. His head was hurting badly. It looked serious. It

"Jameson, are you cursing my father?" Alyssa interrupted lowly.
A sharp glint appeared in her gorgeous eyes as she asked, "Or did you look into the Taylor family or
something?"
"Lyse, I didn't. You've misunderstood."
Jameson saw how annoyed she was. He panicked so much that his eyes reddened. He went to her
and grabbed her arm. "I'm just worried for Uncle Winston. I only wanted to see you!"
As if she was stung by a scorpion's tail, Alyssa swatted him away. She staggered backward in anger,
creating distance from the man.
"But I don't want to see you."
"Lyse, what is up with you?"
Jameson's pale lips trembled slightly. His anxiety was ripping him apart internally. He wanted to inch
closer to her again, but he stopped as she stared him down, wary and distant.
"What happened? Can you tell me? I beg you, please, tell me. Don't be like that with me."
Jameson appeared so innocent.
The innocence in Jameson's eyes felt real.
"Since you want to know, then let me ask you."
Alyssa took a deep breath. She gritted her teeth and enunciated each word coldly. "You know Inigo,
don't you? I'm sure he is one of your lackeys?"
"Inigo? Who is he?" Jameson looked at her furious face. He was clueless.
However, his shoulders hiding under his suit were as tight as a fully drawn bow.
He thought he hid it well enough. Even if Alyssa were meticulous enough to figure out he had once
advanced in Kontina and liaised closely with the arms dealers in Tsulu, she wouldn't get to the bottom
of it.
She couldn't capture Inigo, so she had no proof to confirm it was his doing.
However, he never expected her to question him directly. He wondered why she had so little trust in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim.
"Your business in Kontina is booming and covers a wide range of services. You have close
relationships with high-ranking officials and high-profile individuals in Tsulu. You even have allies in the
army. Inigo is a Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Army Ground Forces and was in Kontina in the early
years. Do you really not know him?" Alyssa crossed her arms and observed him. She was doubtful.
Even her disdainful expression held such beauty for him that it captivated and enchanted him
completely.
"Lyse, I do have some network in Kontina, but you villainized me too much. I'm not as powerful as you
paint me to be."
Jameson was like an ant on a hot pan. His eyes were red. "But, if that Inigo guy is causing you trouble
and hurting you, I will do what it takes to remove him from the face of the earth."
Alyssa heard his genuine speech and scoffed. "Of course, you would want to remove Inigo. You, of all
people, would want him dead.
"You will not rest in peace if he was left free on the street. He is like a ticking time bomb. You're unsure
when he will expose your dirty little secrets to the world."
"Lyse ... H-How can you think of me this way?"
