Alyssa tilted her head, propping her cheek with her hand. âOtherwise, how is it possible for her to approach you that quickly and immediately get to the heart of the matter, which is the contract?
âDo you really believe thereâs no one pulling strings behind her?â
Bryan burst into tears on the spot. He felt profound regret.
He regretted not because his future was ruined but because he had cherished Abigail as if she was precious when, in fact, she was a deceitful bitch!
âMs. Alyssa, Iâll tell you everything I know!â
Under Alyssaâs relentless questioning, Bryan spilled all the details about how Abigail had instructed him to steal confidential business information. Sean recorded everything he said.
Bryan was discreetly escorted to the police station. As Alyssaâs secretary and the legal advisor of KS World Hotel, Sean would officially charge Bryan with corporate theft.
Now that they had caught the fish, it was time to go after the shark.
Looking at her perfectly organized desk, Alyssa sighed. âLook at how professional this thief is. Look how neatly he placed everything back after rummaging through the documents. Heâs quite something.â
âMs. Alyssa, you still havenât told me.
âJasper gave it to me.â
Sean widened his eyes in astonishment, staring at the composed Alyssa in disbelief. âJasper gave it to you? But heâs competing against KS World Hotel. Why would he do that?â
âMaybe heâs hesitant to let Sophia and Betty usurp his work, so heâs trying to get rid of Betty through my involvement.â
The memory of Jasper toweling dry her hair that night suddenly crossed her mind. Her heart clenched.
She responded icily, âIâd sooner believe in the existence of ghosts in this world than believe he did it for my sake.â
He had attempted to conceal his true intentions by sending her an anonymous email. She wondered if he belleved she couldnât identify him. She wasnât the queen of hackers for nothing.
âMs. Alyssa, now that weâve gotten rid of the mole, how do you intend to deal with Abigail?â Sean couldnât help but worry. âEven if we have Bryanâs testimony, we canât sue Abigail without solid evidence.â
BONUS âWho said Iâm going to sue her? The law can punish those who sin, but bitches like her will often escape the clutches of the law.â
A cold glint shimmered in Alyssaâs eyes as she looked at the shirtless cheating couple. âSend those photos to Mrs. Farley.â
âMs. Alyssa, Iâve heard that Mrs. Farley is very skilled in martial arts,â said Sean in an intrigued manner.
âIsnât that just perfect for her? Itâs a free opportunity for her to practice her skills.â
Alyssa discreetly extended her hand into Seanâs suit pocket to retrieve some chocolate.
âIâve already gotten rid of her father. So, I donât want to get directly involved with her. Otherwise, Iâll end up like those soap opera villains,â said Alyssa.
Out of the blue, Seanâs hand shot to his pocket and held her mischievous hand beneath the layers of his suit.
With a gentle tone, he advised, âMs. Alyssa, itâs best not to eat too much. Iâm concerned it could adversely affect your teeth.â
Later that night, Jasper sat in his office, waiting for news from Xavier. He wasnât in a rush to return to Seaview Manor, even though he had finished his work.
Finally, Xavier returned with a joyous expression.
âMr. Beckett, Madam Alice has finally apprehended the traitor on their team! Theyâve already handed him over to the police.â
âAlright,â Jasper responded calmly. He finally felt at ease now..
âWe donât know whether Madam Alice used the information you emailed her.â
âIt doesnât matter if she didnât.â
Jasperâs eyes dimmed as he thought of that daring woman. âWhat I provided her was just icing on the cake. Even without the information I gave her, she wouldâve handled this matter perfectly with her abilities.â
He had underestimated his ex-wife. He realized he had thought of Alyssa as a dull woman who knew nothing except for cooking.
Now, it seemed like he had not only been blind but also incredibly foolish.
