Chapter 749: Chapter 749

“Well, that makes things easier.” Jameson smiled faintly and added, “You did a big favor for me tonight.

Thanks for your hard work.”

“Mr. Schmidt, please don’t say that. I owe my life to you, and I’m willing to do anything for you,” Amber said softly, full of affection.

Jameson’s tone was stem, “I’ll send you a plane ticket and some money. You can go and enjoy yourself for a while. If you need more, just let Todd know, and he’ll send it to you.

e away?

Amber’s breath caught, and she became anxious. Thank you, Mr. Schmidt. Are you sending me ‘Jasper fell for our trap. He won’t let it slide. He’ll start an investigation right away. He’s not foolish, but Ms. Alyssa has thrown him off this time.

‘To avoid unnecessary trouble, you should lay low for now. Todd will temporarily handle things on The Millennium’s side.”

“But…”

“Listen to me.” Jameson’s voice turned cold suddenly.

Amber’s throat tightened as she muttered, “Yes, Mr. Schmidt.”

Alyssa got to the park first because she was nearby.

The temperature had dropped suddenly that night, and heavy snowfall made the typically lively park exceptionally empty.

Alone on a bench, Alyssa stared at the quiet snowy night. She remembered the past three years when she used to come here during her free time, watching young couples sharing cotton candy and ice cream as they exchanged affectionate gestures.

She also observed young married couples coming with their children, creating a warm and happy atmosphere. Back then, she ofter wondered when it would be her turn to be like them.

Could she have a day like an ordinary couple, walking hand in hand with Jasper in the park, sharing sweet moments?

Alyssa’s heart tightened as she exhaled visible puffs of breath. Her eyelashes glistened with tears.

At that moment, an ice cream truck passed by, prompting her to buy a vanilla ice cream.

Before she could take a bite, hurried footsteps crunched through the snow toward her.

“Lyse.”

Alyssa held the ice cream tightly. Her heart raced as she slowly looked up.

Standing before her was Jasper, his thin suit and head covered in snow. His face and ears were red from the cold, but what captured her attention the most were his beautiful eyes.

Alyssa felt a lump in her throat. The scenarios she had imagined so many times hadn’t turned out as she had expected.

“Lyse, don’t sit here. It’s too cold. You’ll catch a cold.”

Jasper’s throat tightened, filled with deep concern. He reached out his hand to her without hesitation.

Alyssa swatted his hand away and spoke in a tone colder than the snow. “So, you do know it’s cold. If you have something to say, say it.”

‘It was a setup. Someone is plotting against me to create a scandal. Someone wanted to come between us! Jasper explained urgently, his distress evident.

“Us?” Alyssa laughed out loud. “There’s no us Jasper’s heart ached.

“Besides, in our divorced and estranged relationship, there’s nothing left to come between us,” Alyssa said.

‘Lyse, is this how you truly feel? Is this what you want?” Jasper’s throat felt like it had been stabbed. A strong sense of unease washed over him.

Alyssa stood up slowly, glaring coldly at him. “Jasper, even if this was a trap, wasn’t it a fact that you went to the hotel to meet Zoe? It seems that Ms. Harper holds a significant place in your heart,” Alyssa said.

‘I didn’t go to meet Zoe! I went to see you!”
