âItâs no big deal. What good am I if I canât even help you with this?â Jeremy looked a little bashful when Alyssa thanked him profusely.
At that moment, he received a call from the Tsulian king, which he immediately answered. During the call, his expression turned somber, worrying Alyssa.
After Jeremy hung up, Miley quickly asked, âJeremy, is there a problem?â
âInigo Montoye is no longer in Tsulu. He left the country,â Jeremy replied flatly with a deep look.
âHe left? Did he escape through the night after he received a tip-off?â Alyssa wondered aloud with furrowed brows.
âNo. He has always been in Cyrris, long before the attack of âWhere in Cyrris?â Alyssa gasped.
âSolana City.â
Hearing that, Alyssa was left dumbstruck. She rolled her fists, recalling what Jonah had shared with her. Before the attack, Jaspe had revealed to Jonah that forces in Solana City had conspired with the Tsulian authorities, and he was 90 percent sure about the identity of the mastermind in Solana City.
Why was Jasper so confident about his guess? The only plausible explanation was that he was acquainted with the suspect and knew them inside out.
âLyse.â After some hesitation, Miley whispered, âI did not bring this up yesterday because things were chaotic. Since Jeremyâs here, let me ask you something. Howâs your relationship with the youngest âJimmy and I are just friends.â Alyssa looked bitter. âWe were playmates when we were kids. He went to Kontina with his mother later on and lived there for ten years. It was pure coincidence that we ran into each other when he returned to Cyrris. He has helped me a lot this year. He saved me twice when I was in trouble.â
âI wonât dispute his feelings for you, but Lyse⦠youâd better stay away from him. When youâre back to Solana City, you should distance yourself from him whenever possible.â
Looking troubled and concerned, Miley added, âBesides, I can tell that Jasper matters to you the most.
I believe that your relationship with Jasper has withstood the test through this incident. Isnât it time to put the past behind you and start over with him?
âJasper has made many sacrifices for you. Even if you refuse to get back with him, you need to stay away from that Schmidt guy. He not hold a candle to Jasper.â
âDoes the Schmidts have a fourth son? Who is he?â Jeremy as inquisitively.
âJeremy, heâs Jameson Schmidt.â
Upon hearing that, Jeremyâs smile froze. He said frostily, âOh, heâs from the Schmidt Group. Heâs considered an âold acquaintanceâ of ours.â
He betrayed an unmistakable hatred as he spoke of Jameson.
âDo you know him very well? Did you get into any conflict with him when he was in Kontina?â Alyssa asked in shock.
Sighing, Jeremy shook his head indignantly. âJameson Schmidt is also nicknamed âThe Dark Lordâ and King of the Undergroundâ in Kontina. He is leading a famous private equity firm in Kontina, bribing âNot only did he establish an underground casino to bribe the officials with money and sexual services, but he is also suspected of drug trafficking. Itâs a pity we couldnât find evidence against him yet. Heâs been pulling the strings from afar, and we have no way of subjecting him to the law
