Jameson struggled to maintain his composure, his body trembling with anger as he cried out in agony, Iâve told you countless times that it was Josh, David, and Daisy-the very children you treat with such trust and love-who framed my mother!
âInstead of seeking the truth and listening to her, you dismissed her and sent her to that wretched place.
Marrying you was the worst thing that ever happened to her!â
âIâve been generous enough to let her keep her title after the way she was caught red-handed. What more can she possibly say?â
Victorâs face flushed with anger as he recalled the painful past, driving him to a point where he felt like choking both Lily and Jameson.
âYou damn fool,â Jameson muttered under his breath, turning away in frustration. He had no intention of bringing up the infidelity, as it only served as a painful reminder of Lilyâs past.
Every time he mentioned it, it reopened old wounds. It was purely coincidental that Victor had mentioned it in their heated argument.
Jameson no longer wished for Victor to become disillusioned and realize the true nature of the other Schmidt children.
He had grown indifferent to Victorâs opinions. He would send them all to hell for what they had done.
H The tension in the luxurious and quiet suite was palpable. Alyssa and Jasper found themselves tightly entwined, bathed in the soft glow of the room.
Alyssa was breathless from his firm hold and struggled within his grasp. Her cheeks were aflame with embarrassment.
She threatened, âLet go now, or Iâll punch you!â
Even in her anger, she managed to look cute.
Jasperâs eyes glinted with desire.
âWhy not? You mean nothing to me,â she coldly retorted, though she felt a surge of electricity coursing through her, heightening her sensitivity.
His eyes softened with affection. âIn the end, Iâm still ⦠your savior.â
Alyssaâs gaze wavered as she felt a burning sensation in her chest. He had saved her life once, but he didnât know that she had also saved him on the battlefield.
Jasper panicked when Alyssa fell silent, worried that he had overstepped. He decided to tone it down and playfully said, âI was wrong, Lyse. Iâm nobody. Iâm just your loyal pet dog.â
She struggled to stifle a laugh. The typically arrogant Jasper Beckett had just declared that he wanted to be her pet, a statement that would leave the women of Solana City green with envy.
âSince weâve come this far, why donât you bark for me?â Alyssa playfully suggested something outrageous, both as a joke and as a form of revenge.
She had no intention of getting involved with Jasper any further.
âWoof, woof,â he responded, much to her shock.
Worried that she might have missed it, he responded again, âWoof, woof.â
His first attempt was humiliating, but he fully embraced the roleplay after the second attempt, which he found ridiculous as well.
