Chapter 611: Chapter 611

QUITE Jonah checked his wristwatch, his expression turning icy. He began, “Jameson, I know Lyse very well.

She has never spent the night at a man’s place in her life.

“Yet, she was at your place last night. I need an explanation.”

“You never allowed her to stay out, but you supported her when she decided to elope. For three years, you kept her marriage to that jerk/a secret from Uncle Winston.

“You let her suffer at her in-laws’ place, living without any official recognition, Jameson stated calmly, taking a seat across from Jonah.

Jonah’s breath briefly stopped. Lips downturned, he taunted, “Oh, is that what you’re doing? You’re comparing apples to oranges. Lyse willingly married Jasper out of love.

“As her brother, I might not agree with her decision, but I had to respect it. You, on the other hand, are a different case.”

Jameson’s eyes wavered as he started to falter.

Jonah continued, “I know Lyse isn’t into you. If you persist, you’ll not only anger her but also change my impression of you.” His eyes carried a threatening glint.

Jameson adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with a faint smile. But in truth, he was swallowing hard and holding in his rage.

He explained, “I invited Lyse for dinner last night, as my mom and I loved meeting her. We had a good time at dinner.

“Later, Jasper called Lyse, said something that upset her, and she fainted.” The thought of yesterday’s Incident infuriated Jameson once more.

While listening, Jonah furrowed his brows. Even if Jameson might not be lying. Jonah was wary of his claims.

“Even so, you let Lyse stay at your place without informing us. You’ve crossed a line.

“As her eldest brother, I’m almost like a father figure to her. She’s precious to my dad and me. Lyse might not care about last night’s incident, but I’m blacklisting you because of it.”

Jonah rose with an air of authority, heading toward the entrance hallway. He added, “Jameson, you may be interested in Lyse. Our dads are good friends, but I speak for my dad now.

“We approve of your friendship with Lyse, but not a romantic relationship! Don’t ever dream of marrying her.”

Jonah’s words were polite, but it was a humiliating rejection of any romantic relationship between Lyse and Jameson, even if Jameson wanted to be a matrilocal son-in-law.

As Jonah was about to leave, Jameson declared, “Mr. Jonah, Lyse will marry me one day. Do attend our wedding.

“That would indeed be a dream wedding-it will only be in your dreams!” Jonah quipped and snorted before exiting.

When the door slammed shut, Jameson’s expression froze. He hissed, ‘I don’t need your approval to do anything! That’s absurd.”

His phone rang with a call from Carl. “Mr. Schmidt, I have two updates for you. First, Zoe Harper will return to Cyrris soon.”

Jameson smirked. “And the second update?”

It’s regarding Jasper Beckett’s health, which you wanted me to investigate. I don’t have all the details, but I do know he was hospitalized at Solana City Memorial Hospital last month for a severe injury. He was discharged after two days.”

“That’s enough. I don’t need every detail. The fact that he’s gravely injured is all I need to know,”

Jameson said, raising an eyebrow “Mr. Schmidt, what’s your next step?” Carl inquired cautiously.

“I want him dead,” Jameson drawled with a menacing look.

“Sigh. Too bad we aren’t in Kontina. If we were, you could have gotten rid of him earlier on,” lamented Carl.

“It doesn’t matter. He’ll die by my hands eventually. I can wait.”
