Winston glanced at him suspiciously. "You seem to admire Jasper a lot."
Neil stayed collected. "I think you've misunderstood what I mean. I'm just stating the fact. I've watched
Alyssa grow up. I care for her too and wish she would marry well."
"Aren't you indirectly praising Jasper by saying that?"
Neil didn't dare say anything else.
Suddenly, Winston halted in his tracks and gazed out of the window. Neil, perplexed, followed his line
of sight. From this vantage point, he could clearly observe the exterior of Heightsnew Villa.
With anger consuming him, Jameson violently threw the food he had brought for Alyssa to the ground.
Unsettled, he began stomping on it, reducing the meal to pieces.
"Hmm... It looks like Jameson has quite a temper." Winston sneered and left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil glimpsed a completely different side of Jameson. He felt Alyssa was lucky not to have chosen to
be with this hypocrite.
Winston used to shoot Jasper a cold side-eye and leave him out. Jameson never expected to find
himself in the same situation. For someone as competitive and egotistical as he was, it was a real blow
to the ego and the most humiliating experience!
"M-Mr. Schmidt, please calm down."
Carl bent over to pick up the garbage on the ground and reassured, "Don't overthink it. Mr. Taylor has
always liked you and wouldn't suddenly turn away from you. No matter what happens, we are still
better than that scumbag, Jasper!
"Ms. Alyssa must have made him angry today, leaving him nowhere to release his frustration. You just
happened to come at the wrong time, and he couldn't help but project his anger onto you. Once Mr.
Taylor has calmed down, he will remember you in a good light."
"It's different now."
A fierce glint flashed in Jameson's bloodshot eyes, resembling animal claws poised to tear someone
apart alive. "Winston had accepted Lyse and Jasper. He wouldn't meddle in it or help me anymore."
Winston was currently the most potent wedge he could insert between them. Using Zoe to expose the
truth about Alyssa being mistreated was another trump card of his.
Even so, he couldn't destroy the bond between Alyssa and Jasper. Without him realizing it, Winston
had gradually taken Jasper's side.
With a myriad of tricks up his sleeves, he found himself at the end of his rope.
Back in his car, Jameson's face had become as pale as an iceberg about to break. Hesitating for a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhile, he eventually pulled out his phone, his fingers shaking as he dialed the man's number.
After a while, the call was answered.
"Sir, Winston has approved of Lyse's relationship with Jasper. He won't help me anymore." Gone was
Jameson's usual elegance and confidence; he now appeared meek in front of this man.
"Pfft! I told you before—if you want Ms. Alyssa, you need a strong hand to get it done."
The man didn't bother to conceal his mockery. "But you were so fixated on pretending to be this good
guy in front of her, fantasizing that one day, she would leave Jasper and be with you. I actually feel
sorry for your stupidity.
"If the easy way doesn't work, then it's time for the hard way. Since you can't get what you want, then
destroy it. Don't let Jasper off so easily."
Destroy her?
