Chapter 1028

Alyssa was appalled. She could not wrap her head around the fact that the criminal Jeremy had

mentioned was the same gentleman who took great care of her. Jameson turned out to be a real-

life Jekyll and Hyde.

"Not only that, Jameson Schmidt once attempted to rig the presidential elections.” Miley looked

traumatized when she recalled the incident and gripped Jermey's hand tightly. "He resorted to

underhanded tactics to manipulate the narrative around Jeremy.

"Thankfully, Jeremy's opponents did not manage to find dirt on him because he had a clean record.

Otherwise, Jeremy would be behind bars by now."

Inhaling sharply, Alyssa turned cold from head to toe. She exclaimed, "Since when has Jameson

turned into a monster? How did he ..."

"Kontina's society is pretty complex. As Jameson is not a local, he had to play dirty to establish

himself. After all, the primitive accumulation of capital always comes with violence.

"Nevertheless, he has crossed a line. If he does not observe basic societal rules, what different is he

from an animal?” Jeremy seethed when he thought about the cat-and-mouse games with Jameson

and the few occasions where he nearly fell into Jameson's trap.

Alyssa stumbled backward, her expression blank. She struggled to comprehend the extent of

Jameson's duplicity, given how he had expertly hidden all his evil behind a smiling face.

"That's why Jameson was the first suspect that crossed my mind when Jonah told us that someone

in Solana City was colluding with the Tsulian military.” Miley cast a heavy look at Alyssa. "Anyway, it's

still a guess. We don't have evidence against him, but it won't hurt to be cautious

"Lyse, I know it's hard to accept the truth as a loyal friend of his. Loyalty aside, all Jeremy and I

wanted was for you to stay safe.”

"I am loyal, but I want justice too." Alyssa looked at the floor.

When she looked up again, her eyes shone with determination. "Sure, he might have lived a difficult

life abroad, but that was not an excuse to hurt others for personal gain.

"Anyway, given our longtime friendship, I hope I could hear the confession straight from Jameson's

mouth."

"Mr. Schmidt, you have to help a brother out!" Inigo begged.

Inigo learned that the king had issued a decree to arrest him, and Miguel, the witness, had been

subjected to tight supervision that the military could not reach him. Anxious, he rushed to The

Millennium to meet with Jameson, hoping for a solution out of the trouble.

"And how am I supposed to help you?" Jameson swirled the red wine in the glass and set his eyes

on Inigo. "The Tsulian royalty wants you arrested. I am not even a Tsulian to start with. How can I

even help you?"

"Things wouldn't have ended up like this if you hadn't asked me to assassinate Jasper Beckett and

Jonah Taylor. Are you going to go back on your word now?"

"You didn’t do it to help me. All you wanted was to take credit to impress your superiors,” Jameson

pointed out with a snicker.

Burning in rage, Inigo had an urge to beat Jameson up. It was too bad he was on Jameson's turf. He

might not have left the club alive if he laid a finger on Jameson.

"Hmph! I knew you would trick me! Did you really think I don't have a card up my sleeve?” Inigo

gritted his teeth and threatened Jameson, "You know what? I have a recording of our little chat. Say,

what would your dear Ms. Alyssa think of you if she learned that you attempted to assassinate her

brother? Your relationship with her would be done for good!"

With that, Inigo made a throat-slitting gesture at Jameson. A shocked and malicious glint flashed

across Jameson's eyes.
