Chapter 825: Chapter 825

Alyssa remarked, “David lost a leg. He wouldn’t frame you so blatantly.”

Through gritted teeth, Jameson explained, “David is just a pawn for Josh. He’s been involved in various underhanded activities orchestrated by Josh.

“David has accumulated numerous enemies in Solana City, and plenty of people would seize the opportunity to retaliate against him. Besides, what happened to him today, he brought upon himself.”

Then, he disclosed everything that happened at the racecourse to Alyssa.

“If there’s anyone with sinister motives, it’s David!”

Alyssa stared at him calmly.

“Lyse, I’ve never given much weight to the Schmidt family. If I were to take action against them, I wouldn’t resort to such crude methods. It doesn’t align with my taste.”

Jameson adjusted his posture, raising the coffee cup and taking a sip, projecting confidence and refinement.

Having forsaken his conscience to survive with his mother in Kontina for 15 years, he had become adept at putting on a performance, crafting each lie to be as convincing as possible.

Even in the sincerity of his love for a woman, he found himself instinctively resorting to deception time and time again.

Lies could be virtuous or malicious, but he was confident that all the lies he told Alyssa were driven by good intentions-a manifestation of his love..

Alyssa fixed her gaze on him, the sharp intensity of her eyes causing even someone as strong-willed and ruthless as Jameson to feel a twinge in his heart.

“Jimmy, honesty and kindness matter to me. It’s not about lacking trust in you. I simply hope that you maintain a sincere and compassionate heart, regardless of the future, just as you did in our childhood.

Jameson’s fingers, resting on the table, curled inwardly. His heart tightened, and a wave of shame-

induced pain washed over him, He weakly lifted the corner of his lips, grabbed a fork, took a substantial bite of cake, and chewed forcefully.

Jameson reflected in silence. Much like his all-encompassing love for Lyse, he acknowledged that After parting with Jameson, Alyssa felt a mix of emotions for some reason.

At this moment, Jonah’s call came in. She snapped out of her thoughts and quickly answered the call.

“Jonah.”

“Lyse, Axel has managed to get what “What is it?” Alyssa asked, puzzled.

“Julien Lovelace.” you wanted.”

Alyssa coughed, nearly choking on her saliva upon hearing that.

“Axel has put in a lot of effort to bring him back to Solana City. When you see him tonight, you’d better thank him properly.”

“Axel will be back tonight, too? That’s great! I miss him so much!” Alyssa rubbed her eyes, and her voice choked up a bit.

Perceptive as always, Jonah quickly picked up on Alyssa’s emotions and said, “My bad. Axel planned to keep his return a surprise for you, but I got carried away and accidentally let it slip.”

“Jonah, I don’t need surprises. I just want everyone to be with me.”

However, she knew it was difficult.

“Lyse, are you in Solana City, at the hospital where David is?”

“Yeah.”

“I’ll come pick you up.”

“No need, Jonah. I can’t go back for now.”

“It’s not just my idea. It’s also Dad’s.”

Jonah’s tone grew somber as he continued, “Dad said you’ve helped Mr. David with his leg, and you done your duty. There’s no need to worry about it anymore.

“Also, their family must be in chaos because of this incident. Although we have a good relationship, avoiding suspicion is better now. So Dad asked me to bring you back.”

In the next moment, he was thoroughly surprised!

In the car’s back seat, a tall man over six feet was lying horizontally, hands and feet bound. His mouth was tightly taped shut, and the only sounds he could make were muffled protests.

He looked both resentful and pitiful.

Jonah wondered if that man was Julien Lovelace.

Jonah stood in surprise for a moment before he crouched down. He braced himself with his left arm on the seat and removed the tape from Julien’s mouth with his right hand.

Julien struggled to catch his breath.

His captivating fox-like visage was adorned with a subtle sheen of sweat, lending him an enchanting androgynous allure.

His skin resembled premium porcelain, boasting a flawless and fair complexion. The allure of his captivating appearance was accentuated by his rosy, soft lips, surpassing the beauty of most women.

Yet, what captivated Jonah the most were those doe-like eyes.

From the depths of his black pupils, he glimpsed a long-lost, pristine soul that never failed to stir his spirit and body, regardless of the passage of time.

As their eyes locked, time appeared to freeze.

“Hey, why did you pull so hard? Do you realize you’ve hurt my face?” Julien glared at Jonah in irritation, yet his eyes seemed transfixed on this handsome face, unable to look away.

“Sorry,” Jonah genuinely apologized.

“Hurry up and untie me!”

Julien kicked his legs.

“The blood in my whole body can’t circulate! I’m suffocating!”

“No, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

“What?”

“Wait for Axel to come and release you.”

Jonah locked eyes with him, and a faint smile played on his lips.

“If you run away, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch you. The person who tied you up should be the one to untie you, right?”
